Sorry I haven't posted in awhile! We recently bought a new house and we have been extremely busy trying to sell the old one and welcome the new one into the 21st century! I will add some new house pictures as we start moving in. Here are some pictures from our 4th of July and lake time.
I was trying to get a good video of Drew walking, he is gaining stability everyday!
"What milk on his face?"
We took a break on the 4th of July and headed to Grand Lake for some boating and firework show. It was Drew's first boat ride. At first he wasn't too sure of it, but by the end he was trying to climb out of the moving boat into the water! Later that night we went and had dinner with the Schroeders (thanks guys) and Drew got to see the gang! Right after we put Drew down for bed, we witnessed the neighbors rolling out at least five, huge rolls of black cats. I, of course, freaked out and wanted to take Drew home thinking that he would wake up scared. Sam, of course said his famous line "its fine Mindy, calm down!" So I packed up the car ready to go in case Drew woke up screaming and needed to leave. Sam was shaking his head at me the whole time. Anyway.... the show started out with 3 or 4 huge planes flying over the house so loud it shook the house. I ran inside just knowing that I would have to rescue Drew, but nothing.... just silence. I walk outside and there is Sam just smiling as if he knows that I know that he was right and he is taking great pleasure in this fact. Next comes the firework show... it was the prettiest, loudest show I have ever seen. We kept running inside to see if he was awake and he wasn't. Finally came the part I dreaded the most, the neighbors set off their never ending black cats. At this point I am basically sitting beside Drews door because I am sure this will wake him up and need his mommy, but .......... he didn't. I am officially going to say, "Sam was right". Just this time!
The next weekend we headed back to the lake with my sister, her husband and two children. First boat ride for Brandon and Kyle. The boys did awesome; Brandon faced his fear of the wind and loved the ride. Kyle on the other hand slept every time the boat was in motion. Drew had so much fun playing with his cousins. We look forward to the future trips with Kyle and Brandon.

Hang on... Drew is driving!
Mom may have gone over board on the sunscreen in his hair!

He even looks cute in a life jacket!
Check out this picture and the one below. Almost exactally a year apart in the same place. I can't believe he has grown so much!
