Battle Wounds


It's the name of the game...Chris got these bruises during football practice! He may have been out of commission for a few plays, but the other guy was done for the night. He is quite proud of them, even his ear is black & blue. He may not be big, but he is TOUGH! Good game today Buddy! You are so fun to watch!!!!

Silver Lake













































We spent the extended Labor Day weekend at Silver Lake with Mimi, Papa, and the Ferguson clan! We had a wonderful time "roughing" it; propane lighting and a generator:) the cabin was one of Rick's Grandpa Doug's greatest joys! We hiked 2 miles up to Granite Lake-Carsyn, Jane, & Jack were troopers!! The guys took Nicole & I on a canoe ride across the lake, it was a smooth ride until my 2 boys come around the point on the Sea-Doos...I'll never forget that mischievious look on Chris' face! We all started screaming "NO", but luckily he just made some waves; Cole on the other hand flooded the canoe!! Poor Rick had on the last of his clean/dry clothes! We all had a good laugh, but things would have been quite different if he had tipped us over...we would have had to swim to shore!! I love making memories with the family.

Back to School
