We're baaaaack!

Home! Its always so nice to come home after a week long trip and smell the amazing smell of your own home. See your pretty green grass in your own back yard. And best of all lay down on your very own bed.

Our vacation to visit our family this past week was WONDERFUL! God blessed us with a safe and great trip. We had so much fun with my mom's sister and her family and to top it all off Cooper was an angel 90% of the time we were traveling to and from the house. The drive was 14-1/2 hours to get there. Then we had to make the long trek home as well. He was a little more fussy on the way there but on the way home he was truly such an angel. I was so impressed. I feel like he's grown leaps and bounds in just the past week that we have been gone. I've been with him the entire time but even I see the changes in him. He's saying hi all the time, waving constantly, he's interacting and actually playing with my 2-1/2 year old niece. It has been absolutely wonderful being with him every day this week and not worrying about leaving him with someone so I can go to work.

I will give you a short run-down on how our week went in this post. Then each day this week I will post pictures and stories from our vacation. I just have so many great pictures and stories so I hope you can all bare with me hear.

Basically the week was filled with Lake fun, ski-ing and wake boarding. Family fun, a water park, shopping, dinners out, grilling out, and dancing. I'll explain these subjects in more detail over the next few days. But just know that we had a blast and that we took WAY to many pictures. :) Are you surprised??? Ha Just kidding. We all know I have a problem with picture overloads.

I hope you all had a great week. :) Here are a few action packed fun pics. More to come.

My aunt Laura used to trick ski for a living. She was showing us some of the amazing things she can do. Pictures do not give her talent justice. She is truly so talented.
