More Smith Mountain Lake

More fun pictures
Memere was so good at playing games with the kids. There was yatzee, monopoly and cards. I definitely think monopoly carries the most weight...that is a serious long game!!! They played it a while and Evelyn won. I love seeing my kids having so much fun with their grandparents, Brenda is so good about giving my kids individual time and I feel so thankful for that. Once again my kids are so blessed!!
Coleman was determined to jump the wake this year and as you can see from the picture he did it!!! WooWhooo!!! He and Brian love doing wake-boarding and it has been a great summer activity. It is just a matter of time before Brian comes home with a boat. We all love being on the lake as a family and this trip was no exception.
Caden is watching Coleman play paper toss on his itouch and for some reason he is CRACKING UP!!! It was hilarious to watch. It was the stillest I saw him the whole trip. (To say this boy is busy is a gross understatement, but his Mommy is the best so it's all good!!! And he is so beautiful...it helps!)
These girls LOVE Aleksi. Actually all my kids do, she helped so much and we were so glad she came. :):)
Aunt Maria ROCKS!! When she realized it was Leland birthday she said she was going to make a pinata, I of course said not to worry about it. I thought she would die, she said in Bolivia you can not have a birthday without a pinata, if you do you know your parents don't love you. Well I can't have Leland thinking we don't love her so I put my faith in Maria and her mad skills. Can I say donut box, yes my friends she made this adorable pinata out of a box, tissue paper, glue, and tons of talent. I can't even imagine what she could do if she had the right supplies. Thank you so much Aunt Maria for all your love for my kids and the AWESOME pinata, it was the highlight of the party!!!

the LOVE in claire's eyes as she is hugging aleksi is cracking me up! just complete happiness..

that pinata was ridiculous. i probably would've grabbed the donut box and written "pinata" on it - "have at it kids!" or better yet, just handed them the candy. good thing maria was there!
