I Toaster Man!

After a long day at the Lake of the Ozarks annual shootout, Lana, Mom, Audrey and I headed back to the lake house by land while the boys stayed on the boat for the night. While we were eating dinner, we were talking about how tired being out on the water all day can make you. At one point, Lana described that, after a long day on the water, "I'm toast, man." Now, Audrey has recently started repeating many words and phrases that we say, and Lana's inflection caught her interest, so she decided to start repeating what Lana had said. However, Audrey's interpretation was a little off; she started repeating, "I toaster, man." Of course, the three adults in the room started laughing hysterically, which only prompted Audrey to repeat the phrase over and over again. She has continued to say it off and on since then, and each time I giggle to myself.

Long Day at the Shootout

Cupcakes

Life always gets a little crazy during the summer, because we spend our weekends away from home on a lake. It gets even crazier when I am travling for work and Billy and Audrey are left by themselves during the week. It has been such a huge blessing to have family close by that can help us out. This week while I was gone, Audrey got to visit both of her Grandmas and Grandpas and two sets of her great-grandparents. While she was with her Nana, they made some funfetti cupcakes with pink icing. Audrey LOVES cupcakes, and yes, she will tell you that herself. She prefers to eat the icing first and then nibble on the cake. Here are some photos of her in action...I am sure she'll love these photos when she is in high school.
