practicing 'Happy Birthday'

We had a great 4th of July. We were home on Saturday doing things around the house and yard. We had Joy in her kiddy pool when she started singing her heart out. Check it out below...



On Sunday, we drove 5 hours to my cousin's place in MN. He and his family live on a lake and own two jet skis and a pontoon. We snacked, grilled out, and then spent the last part of the day out on the lake. It was very relaxing and so fun to watch Joy experiencing so many new things with some of the people she loves so much. She even was brave enough to ride on a jet ski with dad. She was smiling from ear to ear and asked for more when she was done. Here are a few pictures that capture our visit. You can find a lot more photos on facebook. Happy Independence Day!
