Love for a Grandma

Saturday was a hard day for everyone, but most especially for Lois.  After 65 years together, I think it is very difficult for her to face this time in her life.

This photo makes me both sad and happy.
Sad for the occasion, happy for the love my children have for all of their grandparents.
What amazing heritage they have.
What amazing people my children are.

p.s.  see that baby bump??  Only five more weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yay for baby Cook :)

Fun at the cabin

We borrowed a Polaris Ranger for the weekend and I took Tammy, Tammy's friend Sara and her daughter and my mom out for a ride on Friday.  Only problem is we weren't on the right trail.  We ended up on a VERY narrow, VERY rutted trail in the RAIN and a little bit of HAIL.

Talk about fun!!!!

BIG ruts.

This is at the best point of the trail.

Sara and Brooke...
Brooke is the one that told me to keep going :)

No cover on the back seat.
What great sports!

We spent Saturday at the beach with a rented boat.

Shea and Kelsey

not sure who is hanging on for dear life... but if it was me,
I was having a blast!

Robert diving

Sunday Greg, Tammy, Robert and I decided to go for a Sunday drive.
MY KIND OF SUNDAY DRIVE!

The boys thinking they know how to drive.

The girls then did the honors.

Beautiful scenery.
sweet kiss.

The cabin....

We spent our first weekend up in Bear Lake over Labor Day.

Beautiful weather.

Fabulous time.

Sunrise looking from the deck.

Beautiful day for boating

Looking up into the kids space from the kitchen
snowflake quilt... preparatory for a very snowy winter :)
getting snowed in sounds heavenly to me!

Kitchen with no dishwasher.
We actually have to wash our dishes.
It's a crazy world at the cabin.
