We spent the 4th of July weekend at the cabin working on some projects and getting a little relaxation in.
 |
| S'mores! |
 |
| Cutting down dead aspens for her log headboard |
 |
| Joe redid the roof and deck of the guest cabin. It was a big job! |
 |
| Jacob and Maya making ice cream in a ball |
 |
| on go the shingles! |
 |
| Done except for a fresh coat of paint and staining the deck! |
 |
| We did make it down to our friends' house for 4th of July party! |
 |
| Friendly game of parent vs. kid baseball! |
 |
| Back up to the cabin on the 6th to celebrate Joe's birthday with a peach pie! |
 |
| And more softball! Great hit by Maya! |
 |
| More fun at the art classes with help from big sis |
 |
| Jacob spent a few days with my mom and dad while I went to a conference in Ft. Collins. He insisted on wearing his 3rd eye. |
 |
| And then he spent another couple days after we got home wearing two extra eyes. He is a very funny kid who really likes to embarrass his sisters. |
 |
| This is the incoming ball for Maya's Home Run hit! I wish I would have videoed it instead! It was awesome! |
 |
| Jacob cooling off at the splash park next to the softball complex |
 |
| Gabi's team was 5th this year |
 |
| Maya's team heading into the championship game |
 |
| Maya's team was 2nd Place at State |
 |
| Do you see Jacob in there? This is how we all felt at the end of the long weekend! |
We took a step back from 4-H this year in order to play softball and spend more time as a family and at the cabin during the summer. The kids each did a few projects and did really well with them!
 |
| Gabi made an aspen log headboard with the help of our family friend, Kris. |
 |
| It turned out so well! |
 |
| Maya redid the interior of the guest cabin for one of her 4-H projects |
 |
| She laid all of the laminate flooring basically by herself after learning how to use the compound miter saw |
 |
| Done! Maya textured the walls, painted, added trim, refinished all of the furniture, selected the bedding, sewed the curtains and sink skirt, etc. |
 |
| Gabi hanging out at the lake with her softball friends |
 |
| Fun with friends on the trampoline |
 |
| Jacob celebrating Mom's birthday. He likes selfies! :) |
 |
| Gabi also made a wood wall art project for 4-H. It turned out really cool! |
 |
| Jacob loves Oscar |
