An accident prone weekend at the lake

A few weeks ago, (yeah, I'm always behind with blogging), we were heading up to the lakehouse again. This time with our good friends, the Monsons. The night we were leaving, I was making dinner for a friend that had just had a baby, so I made the dinner for 3 families, and the Monsons came over to join us for dinner before heading out to the lake.

I left to go deliver the dinner, and when I got home was suprised to see Kevin holding Halli's hand over the sink, and blood all over the floor.

Apperantly she had been trying to cut something, and the scissors slipped and cut her pretty good along the hand. I may have to stop leaving Kevin in charge of the girls, they keep ending up needing stitches when I do that!:)

Kevin, Halli, Sean and Blake headed off to the ER to get stitches while Allie and I waited around to see if we were still going to go to the lake. Luckily, they were finished pretty quick, and we were off. Only bad news was she couldn't get her hand wet for 24 hours, and she needed to keep it clean and out of the lake...fun for her!

I'm happy to say, this hardly stopped her from enjoying her weekend.

I didn't take as many pictures this weekend, but here are just a few. One of the times they all headed out, I stayed back with JJ and Lexie, so I got some fun photos of them boating around.

First rule of the lake - you must look stylish at all times, and Allie's sunglasses were the perfect accent piece. All the kids were wearing them. Literally, they kept passing them around it seemed.

Getting situated on the boat, the kids love their spot up front.



That is some beautiful water there! The lake was awesome this weekend. The perfect temp, and not busy at all! We loved it!

There is nothing more fun than being out there. I can't wait till the kids are old enough that we can all really enjoy it! Having a baby at the lake is a little tough sometimes.

See her hand all wrapped up there? She did a GREAT job of keeping that hand out of the water, it was pretty funny really!

The four older kids getting ready to go tubing on "the beast"

 Sean was being so nice with all of the kids on the tube. They did NOT want to go in the water so he went nice and slow. Unfortunately, this made the front end dip into the water....and down they went! It was really fun watching it from the boat dock!

Kevin and Allie jumped in to help the kids, and all you could here was a chorus of crying from Peyton and Braden, and Halli laughing while holding her hand in the air to keep it from getting wet. She was SO fast at getting that hand up when she fell it, I was amazed it stayed dry!

 Allie had to join them to keep them out there. Peyton and Braden were ready to be done!

There was also an incident at the pier, a fun little restaurant on the water. Braden ran into the corner of the bar and ended up with a HUGE goose-egg on his forehead. The restaurant even called for an EMT...they were doing their best to avoid a lawsuit! We ended the weekend with a mini birthday celebration for Braden, a perfect ending to an extremely fun filled weekend. The older kids didn't get much sleep, they were a little too excited. Luckily for me Jaden slept amazingly while we were there, unfortunately, it didn't last after we got home!:(
