Aug. 19, 2011

Cole's baseball season got cut very short this summer with the Flood of 2011! He played Cal Ripkin on the beautiful Hoeven fields, which also were flooded. He also played on the All-Star team.
Claire loved to sit with the team!
Nathan coached!






A few fans!
Having Dad for a coach has a few advantages! :)
Claire began t-ball this summer with Mom as one of her coaches.

Cole enjoys pitching, and does a great job!
Later on in the summer, Surrey invited Minot teams to share their fields! What a nice gesture!




















Grandmas Sherry and Lana are proud of Cole's accomplishments!
Teammate Colin and family
Paul dedicates many hours to coach his sons' teams!
The Anderson family wished the season could have lasted longer!
"Nathan's Nachos" are really the best!
Claire shows off some of her nes "Kindergarten" clothes!
Hot summer afternoons at the lake are perfect for fishbowls. Thanks, Scott!


Buster loves the pontoon rides now! He was really nervous at first!
When we returned from the ride, Scott and Cindy's daughter Josie and friend looked like "Seaweed Creatures!"


A little foot action!




"Sittin' back, relaxin' Campfire Time!"





Down Time!


This pup is loved by all!
Mom & Dad's basement was finally ready to move back into after flooding, due to a failed sump pump. Jerry helped put baseboards up.
Closet doors were put back up, storage room floor painted, and furniture moved back in!
Dad's good friend Orlin drove up from Bismarck for the day.
Lots of reminiscing went on that afternoon at the Badlands Restaurant!
Later that day, we headed up to Metigoshe. Claire has learned many new tricks on the trapese this summer.


Jerry apologizes to Taj for taking her on too long a walk that morning. Taj protested halfway, by laying on the road with legs spread out. Jerry ended up carrying poor Taj for awhile!
Finding "Keepers!"
Neighbor Mary Ann brought over beets, potatoes, and onions from her wonderful garden!







Neighbors Tim & Stacy treated us to frozen drinks from their new Margaritaville blender.

Maddie and Claire will miss each other when summer week-ends end!

Tiff and Kaydra's friend Sidni
Neighbor Connor is a dog lover!
Twin Oaks fun!



MaryAnn & Trevor
"Pampered Pup!"

Kaydra and Sidni had a great time together!
Claire really loved the caramel rice krispie bars! I think that's a REALLY big piece she's cutting!
The girls dined out together, and had to move the planter between them for a table decoration!
Puppy kisses for Connor!


The girls paddled out to the weeds by Canada.
Cole & Jayden won't see each other as often now that summer week-ends are nearly over!
"Slidin' Time!"


Jim and Susan (Jerry's cousin) stopped over Sun. afternoon for a cruise around the lake.

A new TV arrived that afternoon.





Scooter time!
All great week-ends must come to an end!
