Ryder Joseph and Lake of the Ozarks

Look at this handsome man!

How is this baby already 4 years old?!?!?!  I feel like he was just born yesterday and I was driving like a mad-woman up from Pekin to try to make it there before he was born (I did make it if you were wondering!!)  I had to post this, I can't believe how cute he is...and how OLD he looks!

We just got back last night from the Ozarks and we had such a great time with the Kassing's. Reese was such a good girl in the car (8 hour drive).  We were a little nervous because it has been quite awhile since she has been on a road trip for that long - but she was a champ!  She did a lot of this - 

and Cora and Anna are getting so big too!  I can't believe they are 4 months old!  They were so good too - it really was a nice trip with 2 toddlers and two little babies.  Emma and Reese played nice together and we even got to have a Rum Runner and go out to dinner one night!  That is success if you ask me :)

It's so crazy how our Ozark trips have evolved over the years, we don't even remember before there were babies!  We had such a good time!

and this was Reese this morning playing with her bike helmet on our way to work!  She thought she was so funny :)

I think we can finally say it's Summer!  So many fun things planned!!  Reese will start spending Friday's with Joelle, Ryder, Samantha & Taylor this week!  I think she will have so much fun playing with her friends!

I plan to post more on our blog so keep reading!

Oh and here is a video of "Reesie" and Emma - so cute!!
