Nicole’s baby shower and our awesome lake trip.

Okay, well that kind of brings us into August. We made a trip home this past weekend to see our folks and for me to go to my friend Nicole’s baby shower. If you follow the blog, you may remember her beautiful wedding from last June. She’s expecting a baby in the end of September, so I go to visit her and see her all pregnant and nesting. Here is her nursery. It has a cutie monkey/jungle theme:

They even made the cake at the shower fit the theme. It was so cute and amazingly delicious.

That’s the momma, enjoying her cake!

After the shower, we went down to Smith Mountain Lake on Sunday to visit our friends the Olivers. You may remember them from our wedding. Nat and Will were the twin groomsmen.

Their folks had rented an awesome 5 bedroom lake house and were generous enough to let us tag along on their family vacation. One of the best parts was going out on their boat. Smith Mountain Lake is gorgeous and neither Aaron or I had been there before. It was enough to make me think I could become a lake person.

This is the view from their house. You can see the boat dock behind the trees.

Nat and Erin in the kitchen. You can see that Erin is hard at work on a yummy diner of pork chili concoction. If we were smart we would have taken food blog pictures.

Here’s Erin’s face-side from the boat.

We spent much of our boat time tubing. I had never been tubing off a boat, and let me just say, it ROCKED!

Although I am a bit sore today…

And some fancy people went wake boarding…

This is Will looking very extreme…

After watching Will, Aaron and I decided we were too lazy for wake boarding. Although Aaron actually had one of the best tube-wipe-outs of the day, but unfortunately no one was around to record it.

Erin was great on both tube and wake board. This is moments before her plunge into the lake.

Needless to say a fun time was had by all. That’s it for now…

Although, since these last posts have been a bit Virginia-centric, if you are wondering what Aaron’s been up to check out www.svpics.com to see all his fancy new motorcycle pictures.
