Sherry helps plant Mom and Dad's garden.
We all have taken clippings from Mom's
hostas and have them planted all over our yards. She puts some in her garden just for transplanting.
Friday night on Memorial Day week-end, Bill and Kristin joined us at the lake. Jeni and Kristin had a great view of the stars from atop the Shasta.
Little Ellie loves laptops and i-pads.
Claire and Ellie loved spinning on the "Spinning" chair! :)
Traditional lake "Family Pic!"
Saturday Lynn brought her cute grandkids Tanner and Archie to the lake for a short stay, while she stopped off at camp. Little did they know they would be put to work!
Claire pitched in too, and they carried branches over to the wood pile.
Nathan has quite a load this summer with classes for his PhD, coaching baseball teams, working full time, etc...
Jeni is happy to finally have a summer off!
Throwing stones into the lake - a kid favorite!
Nathan does the studies, and finds quality time for the kids.
It was pretty chilly, (so what's new?) for jet-skiing, but the kids didn't seem to mind!
Claire's always got a bowl of something at the lake! :)
Proud Grandma!
Dad won't miss a Twin's game!
Love the rainbow!
Even a double one!
Mom and Dad usually bring a ton of fruit!
Sherry seasons the pulled pork to put in the crockpot for later!
Breakfast is never light at the lake!
Sherry and Jeni brought blankets to tie for going away gifts! (We miss the Sicks already!)
Mark usually takes Taja on a walk when he's home. Taja would only go SO far, and then stops, and won't budge until he takes her home!
Mark is currently without a vehicle, as he hit a deer near Valley City on his way for a week's vacation in Minot. He's pretty sure they'll total it, and he leaves in a week for a two month stay in Houston for work!
Nathan and Claire used scraps from the blankets to make necklaces and bracelets for Claire.
Races!
We picked Claire up on her walk (to run to Walmart) and poor Nathan had to walk back to the cabin with his "manly" dog, and Claire's ladybug pillow! :)
Claire picked out this cute lawn flag for her friends' going-away gift. Claire loves butterflies!
The cozy, new, blanket!
Claire saw this pic of Taylor in a magazine, and wanted me to take a pic of her. She's a big fan!
Blankets were used quite a bit this week-end!
Sweatshirts were required on the tube!
The following Tues., around 10,000 were forced to evacuate Minot, ad the rest were advised to plug drains. Jerry helped Mom and Dad with theirs, while Dad advised!
Lana and Tara were in NY, so Mom and Dad had Art, Matt, Audrey, and Owen over for supper.
The dishwashers!
Mom made her pork roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli salad, and rhubarb crisp.
Mark bought a supply of drain plugs to show Nathan.
Owen was so cute! Audrey and Claire were hiding behind the sofa, and he pointed to where they were!
"Sticker" faces!
We cleaned out aroud 30 bags of needles, debris... from around the tall, pine trees in the backyard.
We had to hurry and take a pic of the pretty flowering crab before the wind took all the blossoms!
Mom and Dad pose in front of their pill boxes. Dad joked that, "This is what keeps us going!"
Car washing and waxing went on!
Cierra and Kaydra were the first to use our new wifi at the cabin!
Jayden was also happy to be connected!
It was really windy out back, so we set up a campfire on the lower deck.
Drew makes sure that Cale is safe on the tube.
Jason's parents stopped over Saturday.
Cale and Drew came up for the week-end, while older brothers and Dad were at baseball tourneys in Fargo.
A piece of someone's dock floated over. Because of recent rains, several docks were under water!
Potatoe frenzy!
Drew mixed up yummy burgers!
The weather always seemed to clear around campfire time!
We had a great visit with Jason's family!
Sunday was Lindsay's baby shower at Jeni's.
She had a great turn-out, and a wonderful shower!
The "Cool Dudes" and Claire and Avary!
The girls looked through picture albums and remembered the good times had together. Payton and Avary have moved to Bismarck! :(
Time for a little dancing!
Jayden is in Minot this week. Her he shows Great Grandma and Grandpa his soft pellet gun.
Jayden has missed his Great-Grandparents!
The boys had fun with these! I'm not a huge fan though!
