Fun at the Cabin

Summer time is here again and is passing by way to fast! We spent the first two weeks of July at Grandpa's cabin. July 1st Grandpa piled us all in the boat at about 9:30 pm and we drove to see the fireworks on the lake. It was a big party on the lake with tons of boats floating in the water. There was a houseboat with a live band entertaning everyone. The kids loved the fireworks and then they all fell asleep on the boat ride home! Happy July 1st!

Carson is becoming a bit of a showboat on his wakeboard. He was quite pleased that he is getting some air and can even grab his board on the fly! What a kid!

Kailey and Sadie - my bathing beauties!

Jordan gets air of his own on his flutter board as he jumps off the dock!

We are always sad to leave the cabin but will be enjoying another few weeks in August with the whole Gibb family!

Music Fest

I went to Kailey's Music Fest at the Jack Singer concert hall the other night. The theme was the Good Old Western Days. Kailey didn't want to dress up like a western girl so she dressed up like a gangster with the boys. She did however, have to waltz with one of the bad news boys during one of the songs. I snuck up close and took a picture of her just for the records!

Darcy got a new motorcycle a few weeks ago and Jordan asked him if he could have his old one. When I put him on it he sat there for a while and decided that it might be a little bit too big for hime to ride. Maybe one day Jordan!

Sports Day

We call it the Weston Tongue - both my boys do it. Whenever they are concentrating or playing sports they stick their tongue out. They get this from their dad. Jordan got to join Sadie's Kindergarten class for their sports day and he had a blast. I had so much fun watching him keep up with the Kindergarten kids (which he didn't have a problem doing at all). I'm always telling my boys that if they don't put their tongue in their mouth they might bite it right off.

Kids

This is Sadie and her cousin Lauren after their dance recital yesterday. They were at the recital from 10:30 am until their second performance was over at 3:00. It was a long day but they were still ready to pose for some pictures at the end of the day. I was disappointed that I couldn't get any pictures of them in their actual costumes because they were really cute but they wouldn't let us back stage to see them. Sadie was born to dance on stage. I asked her if she was nervous to dance in front of all those people and she said "No way - it was sooo fun!" She did a great job and of course was the best dancer on the stage!

A little family update just for fun. Sadie won the wackiest hair contest at school on Friday! I actually think she looked kind of cute!

The newest sport in the Weston home is log rolling/jumping over your siblings. The object of the game is to roll down the hill (while a few people jump over you and hopefully don't land on you). After you have jumped over your siblings you hurray and roll down the hill as fast as you can before they can get up to jump over you. It is hilarious to watch the kids do this! We are kind of out of practise this week because of all the rain but when it stops the grass should be nice and green and soft for log rolling!

Jordan's newest favorite thing to do is read the newspaper. He gets the paper every morning so he can browse through the flyers. He especially loves the Toys R Us and the Walmart flyers! He can always point out many things he weaally weaaally wants! "We should get this for my birthday mom" is the most famous comment out of his mouth these days.

Today Darcy's company had a private showing of the Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian movie. It was a great movie and Carson and Kailey really enjoyed it. Jordan and Sadie got a little bit bored with it and kept asking us when it was going to be over.

What the . . . .

Have you ever seen a squash racquette and squash ball this big?? Darcy was playing in his club championship squash tournament last weekend and the boys had gone down to watch him play. Darcy actually found out the previous Monday that he had a stress fracture in his arm and the doctor wanted to cast it but Darcy said "No, I have an important tournament to play in!" Silly boy! So he played the squash tournament with a broken arm and now needs to take a lot of time off in order for his arm to heal. Oh, but he just remember that softball season starts this week. No more sports until the arm heals honey! (Not that I can tell him what to do or what not to do:))
