Bro Weekend

Lake Texoma is our home away from home this summer.  We just can't get enough of it. 

We love being there so much--it really is my happy place! This past weekend we invited Uncle Scott, Aunt Lyndsie, Uncle Andrew and Aunt-to-be Maria to join us.

We kicked the weekend off right by taking a boat ride to dinner. 
Lila loves her baby dolls and Aunt Lyndsie!

Jackson thinks Uncle Scott is super cool, too.

We met Daddy, Uncle Andrew and Maria for dinner on the patio at The Point.  It was a gorgeous night and we enjoyed the live music and good company so much.

After declaring, "I'm done!" Lila got down and ran around for a little bit.

After a bathroom mishap, she came out wearing only a diaper and sandals.  Her daddy just couldn't have that, so he promptly went to his car and came back with one of his t-shirts for her to put on.

Since the t-shirt was slightly too big, the manager took pity on her and gave her a cute pink tank top to wear instead.  She actually fell asleep on the boat ride home, so it doubled as a nightgown as well:)

The next morning the sun was out and we were ready to hit the beach.

This crew loves some good beach time.

After hanging out for a little while in the water, we took the boat out to go skiing.  Gigi and Boom held down the fort with the kids and they watched us from afar, waving every time we skied by them.

Both Jared and I skied, but we got no pics!  We'll have to remedy that next weekend.  We did get an action shot of Uncle Scott, though.  He did so good!

After dinner that evening, we decided to take another boat ride. 
The lake is so peaceful right before sunset.  And gorgeous.

Isn't that just beautiful?  It was the perfect ending to the day.

The next morning we were ready to hit the water again. 
We were in good hands with The Captain, Lil' Skipper and First Mate on our boat!

Tubing was the theme of the day.  It was Jackson's first time and he LOVED it.  I was so proud of him for facing his fears.  He was even the first one out there, too!

After J man went with me, it was Maddie's turn.  This girl is all about the adrenaline.  She kept telling Daddo to go faster and loved it whenever we'd hit a few waves.  Cracked me up the whole time!

Uncle Scott took both kids for a spin...

and then it was time for a swim break.  We just jumped in the middle of the lake.  Lila Lou even joined us!  She held mighty tightly to my arm, but she enjoyed herself. 

After a dip in the water, Maddie and Lila were ready to ride with Daddo.  They probably got the biggest waves, but Lila loved every second.  Thank goodness Jared was in the tube to make sure she didn't fly out!  Both girls were smiling and laughing the whole time.  They are such daredevils!

We could not have had a more fun weekend with these three.  Lake Texoma, we'll see you on Friday!  Get ready.
