Well we spent a fantastic weekend at the cabin with the Yaki-Sloans and a fantastic time was had by all. Friday and Saturday was spent in the beautiful sunshine with lots of time spent in the boat and on the tube. Wally tried hard to give everyone a great ride, and we only had 2 wipe outs. Dallas did an amazing cart wheel out of the side of the tub, much to Timothy's suprise!! No injuries were had thank heavens!! The next day Jonathan did a different version and it was also injury free and very entertaining. Sunshine during the day...and rain storms at night. There was a little bit of lightning one night and then lots of wind the next night.
We played a round of the bean bag game and Deanna and Cindy's team won!! It was an amazing comeback as we were behind a few points. The boys were sadly defeated by the girls again!!!
The most wonderful kabobs were had for supper thanks to Jonathan's talents. We sure enjoyed them.
Maddy and some friends have got a few days off work so they have gone on a roadtrip to Silverwood and Kalispell. Doing some school shopping, riding the rides at Silverwood and seeing the countryside will be a great last of summer adventure. One last adventure before she comes back home and starts school again. Only 13 more sleeps until she is home. Yahoo!!!!!
Well all the little bees are buzzing at our house getting ready for another school year. Hard to believe that Jordanne is in Grade 12 and will graduate this year. Dallas is right behind her in Grade 11 and both of them are SOOOOO excited for another year of Math!!! Reid will be King of the School with all the other Grade 6's. We are anxiously awaiting the class list on the first morning of school, hoping that he gets a certain teacher for the year. He is so excited to see his buddies. One of them, who has been away to Newfoundland for an entire month called and left Reid a message the day he got home and at the end of the message he said "Love ya Reid, call me". Cutest thing we ever heard!!
I am not ready for all the hustle and bustle that comes with the new school year. Though I love the schedule and organization it forces, it also becomes my duty as Mom to "nag, nag, nag". Seminary at 6:30am and all the "getting ready" that the mornings entail make me feel like all I say in the morning is "hurry, hurry". Thank heavens we get to say family prayer and an "I love you" as they go out the door. Time is ticking by fast and my girls will soon all be in college and doing grown up things.
Mike is busy as usual, he did have a fabulous time at the cabin and didn't even get thrown out of the tube, even though Wally gave him some VERY rough rides!! He felt kind of sick after one of them and is starting to realize that we are not as young as we used to be. So sad!!
Well, my blogging time is up, tonight is YW and we are having a joint activity and playing "Capture the Flag" at the Legislature grounds. Fun, fun, fun...
