Dale and Collette came over on the Fourth and we lit off some fireworks for the boys. They were ecstatic! Although they were lame Minnesota firecrackers, that didn’t seem to bother Jackson and Tucker.
Nic and Remy came over later to take us on a pontoon ride. Rachel had to work, so I got to hog R. the whole time!
He wasn’t too excited about the camo hat that I brought along for him; I think it only stayed on long enough for this picture.
R. was a little more interested in driving the pontoon than wearing a silly little hat.
Yesterday Seth and the boys set all of the goose and duck decoys up in the backyard so they could be washed before we move. I didn’t even try to count them. Although this picture only shows a few decoys they were literally covering our backyard. To put this into perspective, our lot is an acre and a half and it was covered with decoys.

Cousin Tony stopped by on his way home to Illinois, but I forgot to get a picture, so you’ll just have to take my word for it. Jackson was very excited when he saw Tony. The first thing he said to him was “Cousin Tony, do you want to try a little English?” (Long story).

Tucker fell asleep on the way, but when he woke up the first person he ran to was Uncle Rick. Rick was always my favorite uncle too, but don’t tell anyone.
Rick and Coleen brought us out for a boat ride around the lake and when we got back, Aunt Julie made Jackson his very firstsmore. He savored every bite! Jackson also spent most of the time forcing Abu to give him rides in the paddle boat. We decided that Abu should have a more middle eastern sounding last name thanAsche, so Coleen dubbed him AbuAschmed. It wouldn’t have been the same if he couldn’t keep the “sch”. 🙂
We had fun – thanks for letting us hang out with you guys!

Oh man it looks like it was a perfect day at the lake! That’s quite a fancy fire pit, remember the old fire pile in the front yard? Surrounded by mis-matched chairs.
