The reason I was put on this earth, was to be a mother. I now know this after having our first amazing child!

4th of July

Yes I know I am a little behind on posts, but better late than never right???

At the lake on the 4th of July. The whole bay has a parade with decorated golf carts and four wheelers, here mom and I are decorating ours!




The kids ready for the parade


Denae and I decided that the babies needed to be a part of the parade as well. I don't think I stopped smiling the whole way, as we were one of the "older" participants...most of them were under the age of 12! Oh well had a blast!!


Caden was so good to waving to people and Saying hi, except when we got close to our family he decided he needed to lay back and chill!

1st Camping Trip

Eating some lunch while we get the tent set up





Playing in the tent




Walked over to the swimming beach for a lil dip







Having fun with daddy

Back at camp...not sure why it looks like I am sporting an 80's side pony...oh well that's what happens when you go camping...right?!

After this picture was taken, we made a fire and started to settle down for the night, but Caden had other plans. I gave him a little bit of chocolate and a some marshmallow and boy oh boy did the sugar rush hit....at about 11pm...he was so hyper and then all of a sudden it turned the other direction and he became WAY overtired, and CrAbBy...it also started storming. So Kyle tried taking him for a drive around the campsite so we wouldn't wake up EVERYONE at this point and he came back to pick me up and head back home for the night. At this point sleeping in our own beds sounded wonderful and out of the storm so we headed home (for the night) good thing we decided to camp close to home and only had to drive 10 miles. We went back the next morning to pack up our tent. This was the point that I decided we NEED a camper. No more tenting for us Larson's.

Since it was muddy outside, we put Caden in the back of the jeep to play...he thought it was pretty cool!



Practicing his wrestling stance...




One more afternoon by the beach before heading home.


It's exhausting going camping!!
