Water Weekend!

What a weekend!! It was full but fun! Friday afternoon we helped Andrew & Loribeth move all of there stuff to Kay's house. For the most part the girls were very good while us adults lugged boxes and furniture around. Then Saturday evening was the Pontoon Parade here at the lake. Every year the neighbors line up their pontoons and 'parade' around the lake, then tie all the boats together on the sandbar. Everyone brings out food and we mingle along the boats. This year Bill and Janelle came out with us. It was a warm and windy night but we had a great time.

Ready to go!!

Yummy!!

We love Mr Bill and Miss Nellie!!

Wild baby hair :-)

The line up

Our summer boatin' baby!

A little snooze in all the commotion

 It was an hr past bedtime when we got back to the house, but both girls settled down well.... and we all slept like rocks after the abundant windy and fresh air!!

Pretty princess

 Since the boat was still uncovered and all set up we decided to take our supper out on the lake Sunday evening. It was wonderful! I made a stromboli, we sliced it quick and took off :-)

The corner 'seat of honor'

Yum!

Yes, Rhea is asleep. The gentle rocking of the waves
and lull of water noises must have done it

But woke up happy to enjoy a cupcake that she
helped Miss Hannah make that afternoon

This was such a peaceful and relaxing time out on the water!! All glory to God for the many ways He blesses us!!

Family in the pool!

Uncle Matt and Gramma Sue each came for a visit over the last week....

Rhea and Susie Cat :-) They're pals

I love him SO much!!!

 Rhea had a lot of fun playing in her pool with Gramma (all 3 days Gramma was here). They did a lot of swimmin' and splashin'!!

 Lynden likes the pool as long as the water isn't too chilly. I think the longest she's hung in the floaty is about 10 minutes so far, then she likes to hang in the buzzy chair nearby in the shade.

Flowers by our mailbox this year!

Motor boatin'

Our first attempt at a garden. (Photo taken in the middle of my weeding efforts). We have potatoes around the outside, then green beans and a few pea plants in the middle.

First ride on Al & Linda's boat!!! Fun Fun Fun!! Generally the weather hasn't really been suitable for evening boating or we think of the idea too close to bedtime. But last week we had a nice night and put it to good use!

think she's enjoying it?!

so blessed!!

Captain Rhea!

Sunset Dinner Cruise - Lynden style :-)

We are so very grateful to have wonderful family/neighbors to get to enjoy the beautful lake with!

Pool time fun!

Hi everyone! Back to blogging for awhile, it kind of comes and goes for me (as you can tell by the 2+ month gap we've had). So here are a few fun recent pictures. Life is still great! The girls are growing so fast, they really love each other and it is such a blessing to watch.... Rhea gives Lynden a lot of hugs and kisses throughout the day and Lynden watches Rhea and smiles at her a lot.

GLUE BOX!!

A quick visit from Jeffrey and Hanna on their
nation-wide tour ;-)

Wake up Daddy, it's pool time!!!

Water was still a little too chilly for Lynden,
but she did let me hold her and put her feeties in.

Rhea was in heaven!

at an innocent and unsuspecting wife.
Love him!
