Labor Day Weekend

Katy found a great lake house on the internet early in the summer for us to rent over Labor Day weekend.  I checked the prior year football calendar  (current schedule wasn't released yet...) to make sure that we wouldn't have any games.  It looked like everything picked up after Labor Day, which makes great sense, right?  Well, wrong!!  SCFL had their first game on Labor Day weekend, in Navasota, no less!!  So, Matt and decided that I would go up on Friday am with Cade and Cannon and then he and Carson would meet up on Saturday, after the game.  I hated to miss his first game, but that was just nuts!!  Cade was in heaven for getting to go without his big brother...that meant that he had first dibs on a bed and got the top bunk!!  He and Ridge also got some great bonding time in and played really well together.  Here are some great pics that I took of my handsome Cade on the first evening out on the fabulous deck.

Most of Saturday was spent playing around on the deck and waiting for our other people to arrive.  Thorsen, being the fearless new mom that she is, came up with Nate, who was 3 weeks old (along with Scott, of course).  He was so good and slept most of the time.  Katy and I just laughed as neither one of us would have been brave enough to do that with a newborn, much less with 5 other boys under the age of 6 there too!  Anyway - Cade having fun on the deck.
Cade having fun in the water with Uncle Scott.  Scott is such a trooper with my boys and they love him!


Carson enjoyed being the ball retriever and getting things that fell over.
Nate doing what he does best!
Another beautiful sunset!!

The boys made s'mores that night and had a blast!!  Ridge was so excited to teach my boys all about it!!
More fun for the boys and a workout for the Dads!


On Sunday, we rented a boat and spent the day out on the lake,  We all had a great time!!  At first, it looked like Cannon wasn't going to have any part of it.  He freaked when we went to get on the dock and step onto the boat.  It was a little rough out there and I think that it scared him.  Once we got the boat moving though, we was fine!  He chatted up his Daddy and snuggled right up.  Sweet baby!!

He spent part of the ride cuddled up next to Aunt Jen.

 These two had a ball!!
