Dena's 'Junior' Pictures

This past weekend, my sister-in-law Dena asked me to take some pictures for her.  I guess where she goes to school nobody goes with the school pics and everyone gets theirs done professionally!  So she came to most professional photographer she knows. . HA!  :)  I felt like we were taking her senior pictures. . I guess it was good practice for her.  She is so beautiful that she didn't take 1 bad picture and she had way more than enough to choose from!  Here are just a FEW of the ones we took! Enjoy!

Love ya Dena!

 Carson had to get in on the poses as well! :)  What a goof!

Erin's baby shower

This past weekend, we threw Erin a baby shower.  We had some fun games planned and she got a ton of great gifts!  I'm sure she is anxious to get everything put away and organized so she is ready for this baby GIRL to get here!  Yes, we all found out this weekend that she and Brandon are having a girl! Yay!

Just a few pictures from the party!

 Erin and I and our prego pics again --This time she is 33ish weeks and I'm 26ish weeks

I am doing horrible this time around getting pictures taken of my belly--I will try harder this last 15 weeks to keep you all informed of my growing belly!

Our Wonderful Weekend!

Well. . school has almost been in session for a full week now for Gabe and I.  We started last Monday and kids came last Wednesday!  Crazy that we are already in the full swing of things and summer is over. :(  First football game was Friday night and the Cougars won 39-0!  So that was a great way to start the season and the weekend!  Gabe and I decided to take off after the game and head to Okoboji for 1 last fling. . longest drive of my life. . and I wasn't even driving!!  My parents were up there as well so it was a ton of fun!  Gabe and I got to sleep in on Saturday and we headed out on the boat after Carson's 3 HOUR nap!  It was a rough week for him as well! :)  Saturday night Christin and her bf came over and we grilled and sat by the campfire.  Sunday we headed out early on the boat to go eat breakfast and then spent the rest of the morning cruising and soaking up the sun!  We had to leave after lunch so Gabe could get back and watch game film with the coaches (Sunday night thing).

Here are a few pictures of our fabulous weekend

 Love this picture of Aunt Christin and Carson

Mom's Birthday!

My mom's birthday was last week and she and dad were in Okoboji on vacation so Carson and I headed that way to celebrate with her! :)  It was a beautiful couple days spent sharing in on her special day.  I am so lucky to have her in my life and she means the world to me!  

Happy Birthday Mom!  We love you!!!!

Baughman's in Boji

Last weekend the Baughman clan headed to Okoboji for a few days of vacation!  It was a warm and sunny weekend and we all had a blast catching up and boating and swimming.  Here are just a few pictures from the weekend of fun!

Carson getting in the lake for the first time!  They were both loving it as you can tell by the exact same facial expression!

This was right before Carson got in the water
