Bass Lake

I can't believe it, but Elyse is now seven months. SEVEN MONTHS; WOW!!! There is so much I would love to post about her, but instead, I am trying to soak up every moment I have with her this summer. She is growing so fast and I just can't seem to get enough! What a beautiful baby she is, both inside and out. She is full of smiles and laughing out loud (literally) these days! She is also quite strong, determined, and persistent- maybe she is my daughter after all- HA! She has quickly become very mobile. These days she is rolling all over the place and wants to grab any and everything... along with eat it all! Just last week she officially learned to sit up! I wish I could just slow down the clock a bit! Good thing everyone says it just gets better! I can't imagine my life much better- sometimes it seems too good to be true! I am truly enjoying the blessing of a wonderful family!

Here are some photos from our family vacation at Bass Lake this summer with Karl's family! We had a great time! Elyse absolutely loved the time with her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins! And, she LOVED the water- which made daddy's heart really happy!

Elyse and Uncle Rodgo sporting their Guam shirts! Thanks Uncle D! Miss you!

One morning I went out in my PJ's to watch daddy wake board!




Hard life- dad had to stay in the water until I finished my nap!
