Jenni & Lisa brought these cupcakes from isk’n it click to visit her facebook

I try and come up with some fun things to do besides all the eating and drinking…we painted, played cornhole/bags, fished, played cards, campfired and did lots of dishes…23 people is a lot for a whole weekend…but we all managed and it was a ton of fun!

There was a birdhouse for each family…and I asked them to paint a fish if they wanted too as well…Scott from the shop made them all for me to give-away…

Anchor Birdhouses
all lined up ready to decorate….

Even our youngest attendeee, O-bug had to paint a fish…I promise a fence/fish pic when they are installed.All finished BirdhousesWe spent the perfect weekend in the sun & water…I also made the boys get the standup jetski out of the storage unit…as you can tell from the sticker it has not been rode in a couple of years…Little man fell in love with it…She started right up and we all had a blast with it!

Bucky…the bassett/lab mix is Tyler’s dog…we love both of these guys….my 30 year old son Jake…is a freak of nature…

Well…I have not posted family fun for awhile so I thought I would share this….have a great week everyone!  See you LIVE tomorrow in Facebook…

 

Kick’in off the start of the season…

I had a long, great day yesterday…Kick’n off the start of the season…

As we are getting the outside of the Lake house ready for Summer, we added in a little fun too!  It doesn’t take much does it…I thoroughly enjoyed watching the kids play in between, cleaning lawn furniture, wiping down every surface, planting pots, hauling out all the seat cushions…watching Nick finish up his 32 yards of mulching…

Jake and his friend Tyler went on a kayak cruise…Tyler was also a football player if you couldn’t tell…so it was nice for Nick to see him again…and reminisce about the old days when Nick was coaching with Tyler’s Dad, Brad. (who was the head coach and is no longer with us) I can’t believe they can remember details of each play, each game and all that…it’s crazy.

This was hands down the funiest thing to watch yesterday…Little Man teaching O Bug how to play in the sprinkler…I could not pick only one photo for this…so suffer through them all for me please….Kickin off the season/LIsa Bongean Top US Quilt Blogger Kickin off the season/LIsa Bongean Top US Quilt Blogger

Wiouwash Trail     5/16/2020

After the kids all left, we cleaned up the dishes and off I went on a evening bike ride on my favorite trail…14 miles in less than an hour…not too bad, now if I could take the time to do that everyday!!! I wonder why I feel like I don’t deserve to do this everyday…hmm maybe I can do two things everyday…

Nick was waiting for me to come home…my new plants look great….and when those daffodils and tulips are gone, hopefully those hydrangeas, petunias, and alyssum will be much bigger!  Nick’s mulch job makes my flowers look so much better!
