Summer Boating!

With the crazy, busy summer that we have had we didn't get to go boating very often but we really enjoyed it when we did. For Lynn's birthday the best present he could have gotten is to spend the day boating with the family. So, we did. Mindy came out with Ella and Jeffrey. We had tons of fun.


Jeffrey was ready to go!


We stopped for lunch and then played in the lake for a while. Jeffrey was a little nervous at first but when he realized the life vest would keep him from going under he thought it was awesome. Look mom, no hands!!


Jeffrey, let's practice your swim strokes...


Ella enjoyed playing in the water too!


Everyone took several turns on the tube. Mindy went with Jeffrey and Ella... and then I went with Jeffrey and Ella. Yes, it is true... for the first time in years I was out on the tube. We had a great time and can't wait to do it again!

I miss this smile!!!

Watching the Grandkids

When we got back from California, Mindy and Dave left for California. Lynn and I watched Ella and Tyler while Shauna and Renard watched Jeffrey. Ty and Ella were happy to have Londyn here to play with too.


For some reason I only got pictures of Ty this time. He was just such a character that I couldn't help take pictures to document it.


This picture is dark but it is of Ty figuring out that he was tall enough to open the doors!!


After opening the door, this is where I found him.


See what I mean about being a character... he found the visor I bought for Ella and decided to put it on himself. What a silly boy!!!
