SURPRISE!!!

On July 26th, Gigi & Bubba will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. In honor of that, Greg, his sister Ginger and I have been working since Christmas to plan a surprise party for them. We invited long time friends and family to join in on the celebration.

Day at the Lake

We spent our Saturday at the lake with Gigi and Bubba. We were worried the weather wouldn't cooperate, but the skies finally cleared and we were able to spend several hours swimming and riding on the boat.

Reagan was brave and jumped off the boat too, but I was in the water and didn't capture it on video ~ maybe next time!

Reagan has said some of the funniest things lately. Her latest comments today were:

~after jumping into the water: "I got water in the talker on my face (her mouth) and it feels funny"

~ after a big boat went by and seeing the waves coming toward us: "Oh my holy, holy, holy cow!"
