Friday: more relaxing

I got a hold of the label maker early in the morning.
It was a bit rainy today, so we got out a puzzle, and finished it too. :)
During one of the sunny moments we took a boat ride.

And at the end of the day after dinner (I had rabbit for the first time) we went for a quick tube trip. I got thrown in after staying relatively dry on the tube. *sigh*

Today was a pretty relaxing day. We played with the kids, ate, napped, read, watched TV.

Here is Ashlyn buried in pillows.


Here I am driving the boat to lunch.

Tuesday: Happy birthday Amanda

It's my birthday today. :) I saw my dad in the morning and then Ben and I went up to Charlevouix to see Ben's family.

Ben got me a WiiFit. I'm pretty excited about it, although it just told me that my fit age is 36. :(

Here are Ben and I with my birthday ice cream.
And here is Ben teaching Jacob about the paino.

Monday: peach pie.

Oh let's see. Today Nathan and Liz left. :( I'm glad they were able to come up though.

Then we went to see Travis and Allison's almost-new house which looks very nice.

Then we had peach pie -birthday cake at home. It was really good.

Sunday

Today we went to church, napped, and watched the olympics. Dad and I also built a cover for Flurry's litter box so that we can get rid of the box that is quickly falling apart.

In the evening we playing bocce ball. The girls won the first game and the married-into-the-family people won the second.
