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)
Our view from the "Blue" room
From the lake looking back to the cabin
A visit from Grandpa Jerry and Grandma Susie
The grandmas!

One last post from the lake...

...I couldn't help myself, so one last picture from the lake.  I got up early this morning to start packing and as I was taking a few things to the boat house I realized I had to get the camera....back up the stairs I went and got this great one.


Our last week...

Our summer at the lake has come to an end...what a good one it has been.  Who would believe that 7 weeks could go by so quickly.  This week brought visitors to the cabin, the crane on the end of the dock, a neighboring woodpecker and Grandparents from Colorado.  Already looking forward to next summer!


The girls in their new dresses that Grandma Pam made.  

Playing with Papa Jerry on the paddle board


Grandma Suz on the paddle board and Jon, Grandpa Jerry and Addison in the background fishing

The fishermen!  I didn't realize how much Addison loves to fish

Sad face Gunner, he hurt his knee and can't play with the girls1

Summer Fun

We had a great weekend of lake time a few weeks ago, the weather is starting to change and it is good we got one last day of tubing and skiing in.  Addison had a great time on the tube with her cousins.
Gunner is such a good dog and so patient with the girls...

she LOVES the boat

great family pic







We realized of all the 100s of pictures we have taken we didn't have a good picture of all the girls in their 4th of July t-shirts.  



Quinn-Yoga or something like that

best purchase all summer, loving our new paddle board
