Hello, blog-o-sphere

For the eight people that take the time to read my blog, you may have noticed I have not updated in awhile.  For good reason, I assure you.  We were without power for two days and then I went on vacation for five days, just to turn around and leave for two days.  It's been a busy ten days to say the least. 

For the 4th of July week, Ben and I took Elizabeth to Texas to see my family.  It was her first time on a plane and she did great!  Or I should say, all four (4!) flights she was on, she did great!  We went out to my Grandmother's lake house for a week of relaxing, family time, cards, and chillin on the lake. 

My Mom and Grandmother went all out for Elizabeth's first visit- she got her own pool!  They also had toys, diapers, formula, food, and a pack n play.  She is such a lucky little girl to have so many people that love her!

Here are some pictures of our adventures in the land of 'Everything is Bigger and Better in Texas'.

My Mom made signs to welcome all of the visitors to the lake.

We were all jealous that Elizabeth's sign has a wreath around it.

Jen caught a HUGE catfish!

Anna also caught a HUGE fish!
