Happy Birthday Cindy!!! She is 20. It was Sunday and we had Grandma and Grandpa and Mom and Cindy over for dinner. We had Roast and Potatoes from the crockpot. It was yummy.
Eric cutting the French Bread I made in my Bread Maker. What a man!!!
For some reason while Eric is mowing the lawn Jimmy has to tromp along behind him in the freshly mowed path in his snow boots. I don't know why. Its just one of those Jimmy things.
This is the beginning of the camping saga. It started with Cindy going camping with her friends Adam and Anna at Bear Lake. They spent Thursday night in Cindy's car, because it was raining. We were discussing their camping trip and Eric made on of those off comments that come back to bite you. He said that he and Jimmy had not set the tent up in the backyard yet this summer. Well, guess what. He set the tent up, plus an extra. He had to go get his little two man dome tent that had been existing at Kristin's old house and then moved with her. Mom came over to watch the Olympic Opening Ceremonies (which were out of this world) she told me to call Cindy and see how they were doing. They were packing up to come home, because it was going to rain again. It was about 8:30 at night. Mom made one of those off comments and said they should sleep in our backyard instead of going home and sleeping in their own beds. They only had a small two man tent with them, so I don't know how they would have slept in it up at Bear Lake anyway. Eric trooped up to his parents and borrowed their Big Dome Tent for the kids to sleep in. Jimmy was bouncing off the ceilings about sleeping in a tent. You know how little kids are. I have a cold and there was no way I was sleeping in a tent, so I escaped the fun. It was Eric's idea. Cindy and friends got here at about 11:00 and went right to sleep. I wish I could say the same for Jimmy. He would wake up at every little sound and I think he came in and went to the bathroom 5 times. When it started to get light out at 5:30 he told Eric it was time to get up. Eric then dragged Jimmy back inside and we made him go to sleep in his own bed. He slept until about 8:30. Cindy and company didn't hear any of the goings on with Jimmy and their tent was almost on top of Eric's. They got up and made us breakfast which was very nice. What an adventure.
The Tents in the dark. I'm surprised out how well the pictures turned out. We have tarps under the tents, because we are still trying to figure out what our lawn likes and we went from killing our grass to a swamp in the backyard.
Eric and Jimmy slept in the little tent and Cindy and friends in the big tent.
Jimmy's ready!!!
Eric's not.
Making breakfast.
Adam reading a magazine. He did get up and help make the pancakes which were very Delicious.

Happy birthday to Cindy...I enjoyed the bday dinner pics. Glad the camping saga worked out. Jimmy's such a little man mowing the lawn.
Jimmy...what a nut! Sorry the camping thing didn't go so good. I told Jimmy we'd have a campout at our house before school started. I already promised the kids we'd put the tent up in the backyard.
Snow boots keep our toes safe, everybody should know that. Camping looked fun, I know exactly how much sleep Eric got out there.
