It's been so long since I've had time to blog!! While I was busy working and taking care of these beautiful children, blogger totally changed their format. SO, all my pictures got uploaded out of order. :) I like to post the pictures in chronological order but that's not going to happen this time so bare with me. I'll do my best to just explain each one. LOVE and miss all of you!</div>

The boys were missing s'mores from Lake Tahoe so Mommy roasted marshmallows on the stove.

Lacey came with Ian and Grangie too!! Here are Me and Grant coming down the slide.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2qXzeXBEDbQ/TmuKw8C-tZI/AAAAAAAADm4/3vcxyS9o4lg/s1600/splashtown2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650762730823398802" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2qXzeXBEDbQ/TmuKw8C-tZI/AAAAAAAADm4/3vcxyS9o4lg/s320/splashtown2.JPG" /></a> By the end the boys could go up to the top all by them selves and come down to the bottom! Such big boys.

A lot of my friends live in Gleannloch Farms. This is the main rec. pool for kids. The boys love swimming and playing with their friends.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v8QEPH7-yao/TmuKwEmq7EI/AAAAAAAADmg/VBTHQBl5pLQ/s1600/glfp2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650762715940711490" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v8QEPH7-yao/TmuKwEmq7EI/AAAAAAAADmg/VBTHQBl5pLQ/s320/glfp2.jpg" /></a> Reed at the pool. We would usually come for the morning and have a picnic lunch with our friends. Such a blast.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a3Aaiweet5Y/TmuKVgTX6OI/AAAAAAAADmY/YgifWXzOgpU/s1600/glfp3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650762259519498466" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a3Aaiweet5Y/TmuKVgTX6OI/AAAAAAAADmY/YgifWXzOgpU/s320/glfp3.jpg" /></a>The big pool we would switch to after we got bored with the little one. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BWpBZqWyCGU/TmuKVejqxhI/AAAAAAAADmQ/OXG79B7lkV0/s1600/Lake1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650762259050972690" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BWpBZqWyCGU/TmuKVejqxhI/AAAAAAAADmQ/OXG79B7lkV0/s320/Lake1.JPG" /></a> When we weren't there, we were at the lake house. Ian has gotten so big and loves to crawl around and play with the boys. The boys had some toys under the counter and all three of them had fun playing together. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Od4XwJQaHm8/TmuKVEnaQcI/AAAAAAAADmI/qlVUvRidBpc/s1600/Lake2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650762252087345602" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Od4XwJQaHm8/TmuKVEnaQcI/AAAAAAAADmI/qlVUvRidBpc/s320/Lake2.JPG" /></a> Since there has been NO rain in Texas (over an inch) in the past 270 (something) days, the lake is very low. (even lower than when this pic was taken) This lake is a major source of drinking water for Houston. When there's no rain they have to let more of it out. Now, there is sand visible in front of the rocks.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E4mUoZZGQzw/TmuKU_HRYgI/AAAAAAAADmA/ZkKDJKSmwwU/s1600/Lake3.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650762250610369026" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E4mUoZZGQzw/TmuKU_HRYgI/AAAAAAAADmA/ZkKDJKSmwwU/s320/Lake3.JPG" /></a> On the up side, we can swim the kids and dogs in the lake right off the steps of the ladder. It's kind of nice to be able to jump in and play. </div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9KyUQwPgGKo/TmuKUg-OKNI/AAAAAAAADl4/AEJGbuW5JOQ/s1600/LD.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650762242519345362" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9KyUQwPgGKo/TmuKUg-OKNI/AAAAAAAADl4/AEJGbuW5JOQ/s320/LD.JPG" /></a> The weather had been very nice up until Labor Day. It was SO windy that even the pool had waves. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkoiFX8dJCk/TmuKDo-_LrI/AAAAAAAADlw/HPUoe2m7sug/s1600/LD1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650761952612265650" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkoiFX8dJCk/TmuKDo-_LrI/AAAAAAAADlw/HPUoe2m7sug/s320/LD1.jpg" /></a><br />And of course that was the weekend we decided to have the Beltz Family up for the holiday. We had to settle for hot tub time. Here's Melissa making breakfast for everyone.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LMQoXJc6oh8/TmuKDBUyKLI/AAAAAAAADlo/rzM6F12mZ10/s1600/LD2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650761941966268594" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LMQoXJc6oh8/TmuKDBUyKLI/AAAAAAAADlo/rzM6F12mZ10/s320/LD2.jpg" /></a> Ian still had a blast. He's getting to be such a big boy!! Learning to use a sippy cup instead of a bottle.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rtIVs9S1wpI/TmuKC2tcXuI/AAAAAAAADlg/uzdXzW1soEU/s1600/LD3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650761939116908258" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rtIVs9S1wpI/TmuKC2tcXuI/AAAAAAAADlg/uzdXzW1soEU/s320/LD3.jpg" /></a> Lacey and her baby BOY in her tummy.

We took full advantage and loaded up the tube to head out on the lake. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-02f_hhikiOk/TmuKCJyGQjI/AAAAAAAADlQ/8ti-Rd6KM8k/s1600/LD5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650761927056835122" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-02f_hhikiOk/TmuKCJyGQjI/AAAAAAAADlQ/8ti-Rd6KM8k/s320/LD5.jpg" /></a> Normally we bring the boat over to the house and load up the people and the tube. However, the lake is so low that we can't get the boat to the house. So we (by this I mean Jeff) had to load up the tube on the top of the van and head over to the marina to get the boat.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--pOUs7zA6mk/TmuJnSV_wWI/AAAAAAAADlI/Jp4_-DxTY5E/s1600/LD6.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650761465498419554" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--pOUs7zA6mk/TmuJnSV_wWI/AAAAAAAADlI/Jp4_-DxTY5E/s320/LD6.jpg" /></a><br />All the kids in the back ready to go.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0k8VcmQi5TM/TmuJnMz7HcI/AAAAAAAADlA/FcmVCV0gO_U/s1600/LD7.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650761464013331906" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0k8VcmQi5TM/TmuJnMz7HcI/AAAAAAAADlA/FcmVCV0gO_U/s320/LD7.jpg" /></a> Melissa, the tube rider. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jq2azPDHQqE/TmuJm6mp2NI/AAAAAAAADk4/8thHFE17pbI/s1600/LD8.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650761459125835986" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jq2azPDHQqE/TmuJm6mp2NI/AAAAAAAADk4/8thHFE17pbI/s320/LD8.jpg" /></a> Ian ready to ride on the boat.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XdMelN9nV6M/TmuJmoeekAI/AAAAAAAADkw/KmGGsPW7zK0/s1600/LD9.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650761454259703810" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XdMelN9nV6M/TmuJmoeekAI/AAAAAAAADkw/KmGGsPW7zK0/s320/LD9.jpg" /></a> Reed, Morgan, and Madison ready to go.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tidtI12ykDQ/TmuJmYFvqbI/AAAAAAAADko/yHRQM3ItLjg/s1600/LD10.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650761449860999602" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tidtI12ykDQ/TmuJmYFvqbI/AAAAAAAADko/yHRQM3ItLjg/s320/LD10.jpg" /></a> Melissa was so sweet to ride with her kids and ours.
