Celebrating 40 Years

We spent a long weekend in the Ozarks last weekend celebrating my parents 40th wedding anniversary. We had such a fun time, having the family all together. I've always admired both of my parents, but even more so now that I am a wife and mother. Their marriage is one full of respect, love, kindness and laughter!
I took so many photos and I apologize because these are all out of order, but it was overwhelming trying to decide which ones to upload. We really had a lot of fun and hopefully these photos do the weekend justice. Thanks mom and dad for giving me a great example of what a marrige should be! The ups and downs and the inbetweens!!!! :)
Sporting their 40 eye glasses. Mom and Vada at the lake


Porter and Isla


If you are happy and you know it, raise your hands!


Vada playing with her belly button!


Swimming in the lake! Only the kids were brave enough to get in that chilly water.


We toured Bridal Cave and it was very interesting for all of us (the guys were golfing).


Wes and his side kick, Isla.


The house had so many amenities. The video game Tron, ping pong, pool, air hockey, hot tub, etc. A great place for us to hangout!


Stella lost two teeth in the Ozarks. Luckily I remembered to pack her tooth pillow! Here she is with her tooth pillow, that Nana made her, Nana, and her tooth! :)

We had a great time at Pirates Cove! A'hoy, Matey!

On the way to Go Kart!


The guys took the kiddos go karting while us women shopped at the outlets. It sounds like everyone had a blast racing around the track!
