I was finally able to get my slide show added to my blog. I don't know why it wouldn't work before. Anyhow, we had a great summer at the cabin and now are gearing up for the school year to start. The summer went by waaaayyy to fast and I am not ready to get back into the groove of the school routine.

Some of the highlights from the cabin were Carson and his friends doing a pyramid on knee boards. (Stay tune for that video as it is being edited.) Kailey got up on the big water skis the first time with no problem. Sadie and Jordan both skied and enjoyed it. And the day trip to the Sandy beach was a favorite for all of the kids (Thanks Grandpa!)

As usual there is always an injury list which consists of Carson breaking his wrist while sleep walking and falling off the ladder from his bunk above the bathroom (I'm not making this one up) and Darcy hurting his wrist the day before by wiping out on the wet dock while competing in the great chair jumping contest. Neither of these injuries stopped the fun as Darcy golfed the next day with his bad wrist and within 5 days of Carson being hurt Grandpa helped him figure out how to splint his wrist so that it could get wet and he could still water ski. Oh these boys of mine! Other than that we had a safe, relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

A Taste of Summer Time at the Cabin

What? Mom is golfing?

Don't act so surprised Carson and Ethan! Yes I do know how to golf, I just never have time to do it. This was the first time out on the course for me in about 5 years!

Who is that looking for their ball in the water? Not your mom!

Darcy is there as my coach/caddie and does a great job!

I didn't break 100 but was close. Not bad for a first round in a looooonnnng time! I could get use to this lifestyle. Look out Darcy - you may be spending more time at home with the kids while I do the golfing!

Happy Birthday Jordan!

Jordan turned 4 on July 18, 2008. He wanted a soccer ball cake so that is what he got. The black icing did a number on the kids faces! I can't believe my baby is 4 years old! Where does the time go? I love this kid to pieces!

The one thing that Jordan wanted to do for his birthday was go to the farmer's market and buy some blueberries - so that is what we did. I should have taken off his new clothes before letting him eat the berries because his shirt was covered in blue and red stains after his feast. Thank goodness for stain remover power.

It doesn't matter how many dirtbikes he already has, we can always get this kind of reaction when opening another dirtbike or quad!

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!
