Saying ABC's
Jeff has started saying his ABC's this week. Nick actually got him started on it, when I got home from work tonight he told me that he & Jeff had a surprise for me. Nick said A, Jeff said A... Nick said B, Jeff said B, and so on and so on...all the way to Z!!! It's so cute to listen to him say some of the letters. He's getting so big and really before we know it he will be going to preschool next fall. Gotta keep him little a longer!!!

Freiburger 4th Weekend!
Well the weekend came and went without too many hiccups I would say! It’s always interesting with so many people in a small place, and the weather wasn’t the greatest, but it felt good to catch up with all of the families and celebrate with Max and his moves on to the next step in his life.
Thursday night we started off the weekend on the right foot by heading to Pizza Populous in downtown Toledo with the 7 of us to enjoy some good food and laughs since we weren’t heading up to the lake until Friday morning. The pizza is so yummy there, I think I could eat their weekly with no issues what so ever! We sat around for awhile enjoying each other’s company. Even Jeff was good and only started wandering towards the end.
I got up Friday at my normal time and worked out and then got myself ready to take off. It’s amazing how much goes into 3 days at the lake! But we managed and left at 745 which of course was ahead of schedule!!! Made a few stops along the way but we arrived at the lake with plenty of time for me to get lunch stuff around and get our room back in working order. There wasn’t much sun, but we all enjoyed sitting out, going through Julia’s garage sale stuff, sharing stories, and laughing…man was there laughing. Rocks were hauled in and moved with the help of the guys, I got a nap in…it was just a wonderful afternoon of nothing really, but those are the best kind. We had a winey bake for dinner…not my fave, but the corn was out of this world! Jeff & I spent some time driving around since he wouldn’t eat, but it was fun. Jeff & I were even asleep before the fireworks started!!!
Saturday was another fun filled day… Got my workout in and done with before 11 so I was happy, Jeff took a very early nap since he was grouchy, some of the guys went golfing, had a wonderfully yummy Mexican lunch, made a trip to Shipshewana with John & Steph & Jeff, took a grandkid picture and a huge family picture, celebrated Max graduating from high school… it was a full day of visiting and everyone kind of did their own thing…it was fun.
Thankfully when we awoke on Sunday morning there was SUNSHINE!!!! We were all out all day long enjoying it too. We enjoyed a nice breakfast out at Adam’s lake with everyone, then it was back to the cottage to soak in all the sun we didn’t get over the other days. Nick & I took the kids tubing, on the wave runner… it was great. Jeff got to stay at the lake with Mom & Dad, and Nick & I came home. It was the first time leaving him, but he was in such good hands, it wasn’t a big deal. It was a nice treat since it was our anniversary. The car ride home was quiet and we just enjoyed not having another person in the car, we even went to dinner, and enjoyed the peacefulness. Amazingly we didn’t really even talk, but it was nice to be together and enjoy each others company.
It was nice seeing everyone, but I’m glad it’s over…way too much for me , but they all love coming to the lake too…until next year!

Little Water Bug!
Well alls I can say is that it has been HOT these past couple of days…grossly HOT!!! Last night Nick had a softball game so I took Jeff over to the Hoover’s so he could take a dip in the pool, HE LOVED EVERY SECOND. It was so much fun watching him enjoying himself. He goes under without a problem, we even got him to wear swimmies and he did pretty good keeping himself afloat. I’m looking forward to more pool time with him this summer, and maybe, just maybe I’ll remember to take my camera with me.

How does time get away from me like this?
2 Weeks...it's been 2 weeks since I've written on the blog...seriously I'm not that busy that I can't take a few minutes once or twice a week and put something up here...I feel guitly about it, especially since this is how I keep track of what Jeff is up too. Luckily I take enough pictures to jog my memory!!!
Alright, last week on Friday night we took Jeff to his FIRST Mud Hen's game!!! He loved it...we actually got to stay for the entire game, even for the fireworks. The fireworks made him nervous, but I wasn't really to surprised by that. Nick & I were both worried about how he would do, but it was a relief that he was so well behaved. I'm sure we'll be going to another game sometime soon.
The week flew, between Nick having softball and projects around the house, before I knew it was Thursday night and I was packing for the lake again... I was looking forward to getting back up there though, since it had been a couple of weeks. Jeff got to go with mom & dad early on Friday...lucky thing, but Nick & I enjoyed a nice quiet carride ourselves. We were saying how it hasn't been this quiet in 3 years...amazing how much you miss the noise from the back seat. Jeff was happy to see us when we got there though!!! I was spoiled all weekend having Jaclyn & Neil at the lake, because they wanted to play with Jeff. The weekend was actually relaxing for me since I got to do a lot of sitting around...first time in a long time!!!
Saturday morning Steph & I decided to do a 5k race that was going on in LaGrange...Dr. O had come down Friday night and told us about it... it was so much fun! I was a little nervous because of my foot and considering I haven't run that far in a long time, but it was great. I finished the race in 29.30, not bad at all and I was extremely happy, and Steph finished at 42 someting...not bad considering they walked the whole thing!!!!! The rest of Saturday was spent sitting in the sun, drinking water, and talking with everyone who was up there. We had a great, relaxing day!
This morning I got up to go to church with my family while Jeff & Nick continued to sleep. It was nice to go by myself, nice to listen for a change. Today was another beautiful day at the lake, we spent the entire day outside in the sun & if you saw Nick & I you could tell. I'm burnt more so than him, but he's still kind of red. Grandpa, Charlene, Tim & Janet came up for the day, and it was nice to see them and see how they are doing. Grandpa is still getting around pretty good at his old age... Feels good to be home tonight though. I'm tired, waiting for the house to cool down... Looking forward to the week...back to the lake next weekend too!!!

Family Picture...we need a new one!
Well, Well, Well...
It's back to another Monday...hard to believe... the weekend was just okay though. I feel like of depressed lately, not sure why, well I know why, but since I'm not sure who reads this or not, I cannot post it because I don't want it out there. Anyway, the weekend started off great, we went to Steph & John's house for a cookout with the Hoover's and it was lots of fun. We had a great time, cooking hot dogs, playing corn hole, sitting around talking around the fire, and Jeff enjoyed playing in the dirt and getting four wheeler rides.
Saturday was kind of a lazy day... we did some yard work outside, Jeff got tractor rides, I did laundry and got our rooms nice and clean, it just felt good. Nick left to go to Tiffin for the day, kind of sucked because that meant Jeff & I were by ourselves, but we had a great time together...birthday shopping for Nick, church, dinner, playing outside...he makes time so much more enjoyable. He wasn't good at church, but at least we went right???
Sunday was just another day...honestly nothing to good happened...I can't really remember right now to tell you the truth. Felt good to be home again though.
Jeff is just getting so big, he is sort of a pain to me, whines all the time, and seriously doesn't eat for me, but it's amazing how he just plays on his own, and rides the gator around the yard...he's talking so much more...words are coming out left and right, it's so exciting to listen to him talk. Right now he's saying papa, mom, daddy, hi, bye, mow, juice, doggie, me, home, more....just to name a few...so much fun having him getting bigger!!!
I'm uploading videos and pictures right now...they will be posted in a little bit!
