Welcome to the Lake

Well...Mike was nice enough to drive me into town, but we couldn't get the pictures to come up on his computer. Anyway, this is what we have been up to:

Yesterday was a little chilly, but Kasen was brave enough to go wakeboarding anyway. We ordered Rosatti's pizza for dinner (YUM) and the kids played in the water. Saxon loved jumping off the end of the pier. At bedtime he kept begging Mike to drive him home so he could sleep in "Saxy's bed." Kasen has been AWESOME! He helped me bake coconut cupcakes and he even did the dishes after. He has been so helpful. He plays with the kids and kept Saxon entertained the whole plane ride here.

Today the weather was better. Saxon and Kasen went tubing together. Saxon LOVED it! He didn't want to get back in the boat. He held Kasen's had the whole time and was almost asleep by the time we pulled back up to the pier. I took Bridger tubing on my lap, but he was too wiggly so he didn't ride for very long. Mike took me skiing just so I could make sure I could still do it :) My dad comes in to town tonight and Saxon keeps calling him "Big Pop" and calling Nathan "little pop." He came up with those names himself? Uncle Scott took the kids fishing. Saxon latched on to Uncle Scott right away. He had the dog and the fishing pole, so he must be fun. Later, my grandparents took just Kasen to Uncle Jim's farm. Uncle Jim took him horseback riding (bareback) and took him on a tour of the farm on the dune buggy. Kasen loved it and my grandparents said that he was such a pleasure to be around that they could spend all day with him. They couldn't believe how smart he is and how much fun he was to be around. They took him to McDonalds after. We picked him up from McDonalds and we all got upsidedown banana spilts from the Yum Yum Shoppe.

Anyway, Mom, this is mostly for you so you know that I'm taking care of Kasen and he's having fun. Don't worry, I'll remind him to wear his 4th of July shirt tomorrow. My grandpa is going to email you the pictures from the trip to the farm.
