Playing in the MUD!

Herman's

We went to Herman's last week and Cole had the best seat in the house! This fish stared at him the entire time we were there! He kept making his frog kiss the fish;).....

Client Appreciation Golf Tournament

Last Monday we hosted a client appreciation golf tournament at Pinnacle. I think our clients really enjoyed it and we managed to have a good time ourselves;)!

My lovely bosses:).....

The 4 sales reps out of our Benton County office:).....

Crazy Pam! She cracks me up;)!

"Mom Boss", "Kid Boss", and "Aunt Deb".....

The "younger" side of our sales team;).....

Once the golfers tee'd off we found the closest keg and helped ourselves;)....

Spring Lakes

Last Sunday after church we drove to Spring Lakes. I don't know why we don't go there more often! It's only about 45 minutes from our house. I guess the fact that it's in Missouri makes it seem so far away! Needless to say, Cole had a blast, so we will definitely be making the trip more often:)!

When we first got there the gate was locked:(! We were in my car so Patrick didn't have his keys. Cell phone reception is horrible out there, but we finally got in touch with Jim and he said he was on his way back from town and he would be there in 40 minutes. Patrick contemplated leaving, but I knew Jim would be so sad if he didn't get to see Cole, so we jumped the fence and played on the BIG dozers!!!

Look how big those things are! Crazy!!!

When he got bored with the dozers we moved onto more basic entertainment...dandelions, whirly birds, and rocks;).....

Yay!!! BaBa finally made it:)!

Going fishing:).....

Feeding the geese:).....

I'm pretty sure they were both in Heaven;).....

If I can't get Cole to smile I tell him to "show me his teeth". It used to work, however, now he points to his teeth at the same time. Not quite the look I was going for;).....

Cole was scared of the fish at first, so Baba pretended he was giving it a kiss to show Cole how much we love fish;)....

Patrick and I went out in the canoe and I caught lots of fish! I'm not a regular "fisherwoman", so I wasn't real sure what to do with it once I got it out of the water. Don't I look awkward;)??? Hahah!

Look at that big boy:).....

Walking up to the spring....

Cole wanted to touch the water.....

I think it was a little colder than he was expecting! Look at their faces;).....

Patrick got the lure hung in some brush, so he had to take the "paddy boat" out to get it untangled:).....

Heading back to the cabin after a fun day:).....
