Miles make's it look easy!

Miles figured out the wakeboarding thing, and is hard at work on learning to jump the wake now. Cole got up briefly, and next time we go, he'll be just like Miles, shredding it up! Gage is the master of the tube, with a big goofy grin as we haul him around the lake.

Cake and babe

Here's Shay and her first birthday cake. It didn't last long, once she got her hands on it.

Shay's Birthday

Shay's first birthday finally arrived (too soon for mom though.) We had a party with her friend Max, who was born 5 days after her, his family (the Reynolds) and the Strattons. We actually were able to have it outside (despite the "sub-arctic weather we've been having this summer," according to Lisa.) She dove right into her cake and proceeded to smear it all over her brothers. This was her new stuffed animal she got for her birthday. I think she likes it!
