Our trip to Lake Kiowa

For Labor day we went out to Dad & Gigi's lake house on Lake Kiowa. It was a nice & relaxing weekend on the lake. We had a great time & I can't wait to go back to get away from it all! Being in such a beautiful, serene place allows us to soak up God's earth & appreciate all that He has given us!

A day on the lake is just what we needed!

This is one of the biggest images I remember of Dad from my childhood!

The "Big Mable" is fun on land or in the water!

The kids had a great time making self portrait drawings on the drive way.

Wow! They grow up SO fast..

..When I first held you in my arms,
if only I'd have known,
the years would feel like moments,
after you had grown..
-Cynthia Sieving



I can't believe my baby girl is getting SO big.
