First day of School!

This week the girls started school.  Quinn started Pre-school on Monday and Addison started Kindergarten on Thursday.  They were excited to go back and see their teachers and friends.




A trip to Boppas!

A few days after we got home from the lake we got in the car again (yes, I am crazy) and drove to Grand Junction to visit my Grandpa and family.  The girls had a great time helping Grandma Susie irrigate, we picked vegetables from the garden and some fruit from the orchard.  Of course we couldn't have a few days without playing in the water (still missing the lake) so we settled for Boppa's sprinklers!
Off they go to turn on the water
Having a great time and we have only been in town for about 30 minutes
The girls feel it is their job to chase the chickens out of the yard even when they are still in their jammies!
Learning the proper irrigating techniques from Grandma, I was in trouble because I forgot their irrigating boots

Apparently I shop often with my mom as they are all 3 wearing yellow, Life is Good t-shirts with flip-flops on them!


Uncle Keenan teaching Addison how to bounce a baseball off of her bicep, a very important thing for a 5 year old to know
Playing catch with Uncle Keenan, a lot of discussion on step-and-throw

Cabin Photos

Now that we are home I have had some time to go through this summer's photos.  I realized I didn't put any pictures of the new cabin on the blog, so here you go!

Kitchen and Entry, this side of the cabin faces the road
Kitchen and dining, love all the space
From kitchen to lake side of cabin
Down the hall to the bath and guest room
Guest room, big windows look toward lake
Pre-McEvers family, love the blue (just kidding)
Much better without the blue in my opinion, this room looks at the lake
LOVE this sign, we found it in the boathouse and cleaned it up
Our bedroom, it is the entire 2nd floor and big enough for all of us
Lake views
Cabin from the road
The shed we share with Skip (neighbor a few cabins down)
