Lovin the Lake!

This past weekend we met Paul, Allison, Adella and Penny at Lake Anna.  We took the boat down for the day and spent the day swimming and jumping and having a blast!  It was not as warm as it has been so the 20 minute ride down the lake was a bit cold with water spraying up on us, but it was still fun.  The water was choppy as it was windy and lots of boats around.  Made the spraying a bit worse than normal.  :)  I hope Paul's family had as much fun as our family.  My kids do love their cousins and whatever time they can spend with them is always great!  Definitely a trip we will take with them again!!

 Pit stop we made.  Parked the boat and Allison took this picture at the end of the dock.  Love it!

Floating down the lake

                                                                   Love the expression on Penny's face here.  She jumped and jumped to me off the boat.  She was so brave, but continued to stay mad at me because I would never keep her from going under water.  :)  She kept jumping though.  She's so funny!!

                                                               Boat docked and all of us hanging in the water.  We had our own private beach area.  We do this every time we go out.  It's nice to have your own.  

I think these two had a lot of fun!  Thank you for the pictures Allison since I failed to bring my camera.  :(

Penny's 2nd Birthday

Penny turned 2 yesterday!  Can't believe it!!  She had her birthday party this past Saturday.

She's loving her new baby and stroller!!

There's a new cousin in town!!

On Friday, Feburary 26, 2010 Stacey's brother Paul and his wife Allison had another little girl! She is just beautiful!! Her name is Penelope Maeve Leftwich and they are calling her Penny. I had the good fortune to be able to see her the afternoon of the 26th and then my family and I went to their house on Saturday after they had come home. We all took turns holding Penny and having our picture taken . . .

I took about 15 pictures of all 5 grandkids and sadly, this was the best one :(. Tough to get all of them looking at the camera!! I failed to get a picture of proud Paw Paw (Stacey's dad) or the proud parents! Hopefully other cameras managed to get these shots!!

Welcome to the world Penny!! We love you!!!
