34 Candles

Had a great day turning 34 today!

Started the morning off with coffee and playing a new game the girls gave me.

 Having all 4 girls excited about playing the game was great, 

but the breakfast of cake was the highlight of the morning!!!  

The girls insisted on putting 34 candles on the cake.

 We met some college friends for lunch on the lake and then headed out on the boat.

The girls really wanted Uncle Dustin to tube with them so he of course said yes!!!

 Whitney napped through 95% off the boat trip.......

 Maybe next year she will get in on this craziness.........

Not sure what happened to turn Macy's smile into......

 .......THIS!!!!!

 So we stopped,

 and went fast with the BIGS!!!

 While Justin and I were in Wisconsin Dells last week we went to a ski show.  Maybe next year we will start a tubing show on Lake Minnetonka!

 After tubing, the girls asked Dustin to wake board and of course he couldn't say no.

 Daddy tried too....

In our original plan for the summer, we were to head back to KL tomorrow.  We were going to stop for a few day in Paris half way through the journey back to Malaysia.

On Thursday, Justin's grandpa passed away so our plans have changed a bit.  Tomorrow, we head back to Boone to celebrate his life and fly out on Wednesday.  A death of family member is always hard, so I am glad we will be able to spend the next few days with his family.  Justin spent a lot of time with his grandparents growing up since they lived just down the road.  He has many great memories of him and learned a lot about farming and family from him.

Life is Good--

gave me the same notepads with these words on them today as a gift!!!)
