Ohio and Lake Norris








We went back to Ohio and Tennessee for a visit and had the chance to go to Oxford for the first time since we got married 8 years ago!  It was fun to be back - but weird to be there with three kids in tow!
 Here we are at Kumler Chapel where we got married
 In Kumler
 7.5 years later!

We had a wonderful week at the lake ... it is always so much fun!
 Grant and Daddy swimming
 Griffin and Grace watching Josh ski ... I thought it was pretty sweet how Griffin was holding Grace's hand!
 Grace skiing
 BeBop and Grant 
 The kids had so much fun on this! 
 Grace loves to help Pop Pop drive the boat
 Grace and Peyton - they became pretty good buddies this trip and it was fun for all of us to watch them play together.
 Griffin skiing - he loves to go over the wake
 The kids enjoying a popsicle on the boat
 They had so much fun paddling all over the cove this year
 Grace and Peyton
 Water balloon fight!
 The babies escaped the water balloon fight ... the rest of us got soaked!
 Grant and Bebop
 Relaxing on the dock
 All 6 cousins - the babies weren't too thrilled about this arrangement!
 Grace wanted to wear a blue dress to match her big cousin Jordan :)
 I caught such a sweet moment - they were giving a fist bump over something - probably s'mores! 
 Grant kissing Lucy - he loved having someone around his size!
 All of us on the tube
 Grant and Pop Pop
 Pop Pop and the kids
 Pop Pop and Griffin on the paddle board
 Pop Pop taught Griffin how to row the boat and Griffin loved it!
 He also loved the paddle board!
 As always, Grace loved the slide.
 This is always a favorite activity - going to the marina for some ice cream
 My baby!
 Grace caught a fish and was so proud of it!
She spent the rest of the afternoon playing the harmonica and singing for her fish.  :)
 The kids loved to go over to the dock across the cove to have their own adventures ... they even convinced BeBop and Pop Pop to bring them lunch!
 We celebrated Grant's 1st birthday 
 He was a bit stunned but dug right in to the cake!
 Such a handsome boy!

 Griffin loves the jet ski!
Grace loved it too!
