Day 11

I totally wrote this entire blog, saved the update and then found out none of it saved!  Good grief!  Good thing I had it all "blogged" in my pink glitter notebook.  Here it goes again...

Today was a great day, I woke up at the lake house!  We slept in, ate a late breakfast and headed out for the lake late in the afternoon.  It was a fun day!

My 28 thanks:

1. I started catching up on my One a Day Bible again last night.  I didn't mean to get behind, but I will get caught up soon.

2. I have been reading about the life of King David.  Last night I read about David and Bathsheba.  I am so amazed with the love and forgiveness of our God!  His love covers a multitude of sins.

3. There were very few boats on the water today.

4. We were able to find smooth water for skiing.

5. Zachary was so brave and tried to ski today.

6. The first try, he followed my instruction to NOT let go of the rope.  Unfortunately, he left his skis behind and was drug underwater behind the boat. Don't worry, my dad is a pro at pulling young skiers and he was perfectly fine...and begging to go again.

7. The second try, he was on top of the water in a squatting position for a full 4 seconds!  I was a proud mama!

8. After skiing, Zachary was all smiles.  He was so proud of himself!

9. I was able to ski a really great run today.  I love skiing and wish I got to do it more often.

10. Madelyn gave skiing another good try today.  She will get it soon.

11. We had some great tube rides today!

12. While riding the tube, Zachary and I hit some big waves..  He looked at me with a huge smile on his face and shouted, "That's what I call fun!"

13. My kids are a lot of fun!

14. I am sore after dancing with the troupe girls last night.  I love it!

15. I made the girls do crunches last night and today my abs are sore.  I love when my abs are sore because even though I am not skinnier, it makes me feel that way.  :)

16. Being sore didn't hold me back from skiing or tubing today!

17. Sarah and I had a crazy fun ride on the tube that ended when she wiped out.  We had a good laugh about her fall.

18. Hot showers after a long day in the lake.

19. None of us got sunburned today.

20. I got to talk to Matt tonight.  I am sad that he isn't here, but he is having a good time as a bachelor while we are gone.

21. My MIL gave me her favorite lotion that they don't sell anymore.  It is Moroccan Argan Oil by Organix.  It smells so good!

22. Not only does the lotion smell good, it is keeping my skin from peeling.

23. We are all sitting together watching the Hobbit as I write this.  I love watching movies with my family.

24.  Today I had to drive the boat up on the trailer for the first time in over a year.  I didn't do a terrible job.

25. It was so overcast today that at times we were cold out in the boat.

26. I knew I would get behind on my blog while out at the lake house where there is little to no internet access.  I took a pen and notebook with me and "blogged" the old fashioned way.

27. I finished the sequel to the book I devoured last week.  I can't wait to get home and start on the third book.

28. I got to sit on the screened in patio tonight.  The weather was great!  There was a cool breeze, it was quiet for just a little bit until the kids found me...and there were no bugs!
