Just busy

We have stayed busy busy for the past couple weeks, mostly with a house project that I started and needed to finish. BUT, we also managed to play here and there to keep us all a little happy.

First Ski Trip

Cole and Derian had a ball on the water. Jo ended up having a fever during the day so she didn’t knee board but did play in the water a bit and take a boat ride or two.






I also got my turn on the lake.

Jo LOVES being on the boat or in the water. And heck, it doesn’t hurt much that Michael was taking this photo.

Laughing, we get to do a lot of laughing while at the lake.

The kids wanted to throw the javelin in the yard so we brought in a
national champion for some one on one lessons. Nothing but the best for the kids don’tcha know!

Each time our collegiate stops buy to teach,
the kids get a little bit better.

FAIR
We met up with Gpa Norman, Gma Marie, Derian and Hannah for the fair. The kids were spoiled by the grandparents, nothing but smiles all day and then a little pouting when a “no” was actually heard, though that just didn’t happen much. No ashtrays or shot glasses were brought home on this trip, only blow up hammers and a few stuffed animals and four tired kids. Ok, four tired adults too!

Derian, Jo and Hannah all jumped on the swings for the first time ever! Jo was so excited to actually be tall enough for a “big” ride she could hardly contain herself. All three came off bouncing and talking over one another.

HOME PROJECT…again…
I had a vision of the kid’s room and so we gutted their room and started in. The kids picked the colors and Mom picked the design. With the help of the kids and our friend Sheila we managed to make this vision become reality.

Jo picked Hannah Montana colors and wanted them to sparkle.
They do!Cole wanted Mariner colors. Living and loving baseball.
