Many of you know my mom, Marty. Only some of you may realize her summer obsession with boating. Now that Caryn and I are out of school for the summer, we have to make sure to plan one day a week to go to Lake Perris. The phone call comes on Sunday night, "What day do you want to go to the lake?" She will then coordinate between me and Caryn (or someone else if one of us is unavailable) what day works for us all. I'm sure if Caryn and I would agree to it, my mom would be happy to go to the lake every day of the week. The other thing that is important to note is how fabulous my mother looks while skiing. No, I'm not talking about her stylish bikini or her top of the line lifejacket (although she once skiied without her lifejacket!) I'm talking about the noseplugs and dual (but different) knee braces! Watch out girls! Marty is looking hot! Sorry I don't have a picture of this, but Caryn has those pics. I'll try to get one so you can see what I'm talking about! Now, don't get me wrong, we definitely love having this "problem." We are very lucky that our jobs allow us the time to spend with our family and that mom is still waterskiing at 63 years old. I love my mom dearly and it is some of the best quality time that we get to spend together. Caryn and I just love to tease our mom! :) We love you Martha!!
Cody has been going since last summer when he was one. He's a lot better with the lifejacket this year, but doesn't love swimming in the lake as much. Heck, swimming period is not his favorite this summer. Once his feet are off the ground, he cries, "Nonononononononono!" It's not too loud though! That is not to say that he doesn't LOVE the pool! There is definitely a difference! Anyway, he loves the boat and if we tell him that we're going to the lake, I hear "Nana's boat" until we're there! And while we're there. And when we get home. Okay, he loves "Nana's boat" as much as Nana does!
Here's Cody's best Nana impersonation!

FUN times at the Lake. I was there when Marty decided not to wear her life jacket while skiing. Or should I saw she forgot to put it on. :) Go Marty!!!
Stace-
I was totally thinking of you and Ann as I wrote that! I think we were more amazed when we realized that she had fallen and gotten back up without a life jacket! We definitely had some great times at Lake Perris. I will always remember you trying to throw me off of the Sea-Doo too! :)
I FOUND YOUR BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did I not know you had a blog? You are now officially in my blog addiction! Oh...I can't wait to sit down tonight and catch up on it!
Oh the good ole Sea Doo. We had some fun times with that. I think you, Ann, Heather and I had many stretched out bathing suit bottoms and bruises from falling off of it.
