We spent another weekend at the lake.  Emma got to bring a friend along for the first time.  Her friend Jena from up the street (at our main house) came out with us and spent the weekend playing.  Her family was headed to Spokane (lots of driving there and back in two days) so we offered to take Jena out to the cabin with us.

Emma and Jena had lots of fun playing with all the toys at the cabin and they also spent quite a bit of time down at the lake.  We went to a friend of our’s house for a party on Saturday night and Emma, Jena and Bella (Emma’s friend that lives out at the lake) all had a great time playing together.  Jena was a little scared of the dogs there but she did pretty well being around them.

I spent some more time working on the cabin.  I tested some of the wiring circuits (I’d hate to cover them up with sheetrock before we know for sure that they were done right), installed some outlets and a few lights so that we can see as it gets dark and also painted more of the trim.

Next week we are planning on working on the deck and we’ll also try to finish the cedar peak above the deck.  We will also be calling for the framing/mechanical inspection and, if all goes well, will proceed with insulation and sheet rock before long.  WE CAN’T WAIT!!

Anyway, everyone has said that photos are the best part of these posts so here are a few of this weekend:

I guess we are little late posting this but we wanted to put a post up about Emma’s birthday.  Emma had a birthday party with some of her friends the day after her birthday.  We had it at our house and had a couple different crafts for the kids to do and also had a waterslide in the backyard (Thanks Brent and Tonja).  The girls got to decorate their own notepads (with foam pieces) and also made foam sun visors.  The theme for the party was “Ladybugs” so the gift bags were made by Katie in the shapes of ladybugs and the “cake” was 35 cupcakes with a giant ladybug on top of all of them (like a cake).  The girls had a great time.  Emma invited a few girls from her class and a couple long time friends.
