Claire loves her piggy back rides from Nathan!

Looks like Cole & Nathan have practiced this before!

Who can resist that smile?

The kids got this Super Mable for their combined birthdays. They absolutely love it!

Jeni spots while Nathan pulls the tubers.

You can ride facing the back or the front!

Jeni, Claire, and even Jerry rode the tube!

Wheeeee!

Claire often steers the jet-ski.

Cole enjoys leftover biscuits from this morning's breakfast of "Biscuits and gravy!"

Saturday night, John and Jill flew in from Yakima. Since we had frequent showers over the week-end, they both took pictures of the storm.


The umbrellas were brought out to the campfire.

They actually don't have much rain in Yakima, so this is actually a "treat?'


The rain really started coming down, so the campfire crew moved in to play a dice game called "Left, Center, Right."

Jill & John put on the pork loin to sear it before putting it in the crockpot to slow cook.

Jill even did "Clean up" duties. Thanks, Jill!

More tubing?

Lynn stopped over from camp with grandson Archie. He really enjoyed his first tube ride!

John looks pretty relaxed!

Looks like quite a few clouds up there!

Mom and Dad drove up Sunday for the day. Dad had just been fishing with Jerry, so he decided to pass on the ride.

Boys are getting brave!

Mother and sisters!

What a cute couple! Love you two!


Catching up on the news!


Dad brought up some corn to go with the pulled pork, and Sherry made her yummy potato salad.

Jill found her old McDonald's cap on the hook, so had to model it for us! So many memories!

We had a surprise 30th for Jeni about a month ago, but this was her actual birthday, so we just had to celebrate again!

We made birthday muffins!

Then boarded the boat for what's getting to be out traditional "Birthday Cruises!"

The party's on!

Even Taj is in the celebrating mood!



What a coincidence that Dave has the same birthday as Jeni! Happy Birthday, Dave!





Taj is getting pretty close to those muffins!

The champagne and muffins were great!


Aaaaawww, so cute!


Archie told his mom that he liked riding the "Party Boat!"


Lindsay came to help us celebrate with Jeni also!

Archie and Claire are only 3 months apart in age.

Tossin' the football!


Claire picked what she called the "Wishing Flower!"

Tramp tricks!


Mother-Daughter time!

More Mother-Daughter time!

The boys found this turtle on the road. We haven't seen many this summer!


Quality sister time!

Claire and I colored this together. Bet you can't tell who colored what!

Discussions on the Deck!

Batting practice. Claire has quite a swing!

Claire picked this pretty flower for Mommy!

Claire thought the sky was so pretty, that she wanted me to take a picture of her. It was her idea to get a chair to stand on, so she would be "closer to the sky!"

Claire likes her big brother and cousin!

Mother-son love!

Tiff was sure happy to spend a few extra vacation days with Jill and John at the lake!

The boys are scooping out baby bullheads! Go get 'em!

Jill, you're too cute! She posed for a photo shoot!

Jayden found a good place to leave his glasses when he went tubing!

This was a usual sight this summer! (at Claire's request!)


Jeni models her new Lake Metigoshe t-shirt.

These two are hilarious! Never a dull moment when they're together!

We'll miss this view this winter!

Family pics!



On the way home, we had to stop in Bottineau at Pride Dairy for ice cream treats!


A perfect end to a perfect week-end!
