Just a regular day

It's been raining quite a bit, so as soon as the sun came out, I brought the kids out to play, and of course had to take some pictures.

Things have slowed down, now that summer is over. We're sticking around the house more, and not doing as much running around. We had such a nice summer!!! Now we'll be going to Mom's n Munchkins again, and hang out with other friends that are staying at home.

I have another baby shower this weekend, and another of our friends' due dates are coming up on Tuesday. Should be exciting!! And here, I'm getting rid of my baby things... Will try to continue our garage sale this weekend, and hopefully the weather is nice!!

Crab Apple time

Well, it's that time of year again.. We're trying different recipies to try to use crab apples up. Meagan loves helping out.

Why not put her to work, to use up her energy?? And of sourse Mom's got her new camera to play with to catch the moment!

And here are some more of my boys' smiles. I've never seen a kid smile SO much in my life!! He's gonna break some hearts!!

Trip to Salmon Arm, BC

We had a nice trip to BC, even though it went by way too fast!! The kids traveled well, and the scenery was beautiful. Meagan kept saying the mountains were "too bumpy", but she still wanted to climb to the top.

This picture was taken in Fields, were we usually stop to play at the playground. (Need to take a few breaks from the long ride). We met Grant in Calgary, as he came back from Sturgis, South Dakota. He left his Motorbike at my brothers, and he picked it up on the way home. He had a great time at the Motorbike Rally, but we missed him lots!

It was great seeing many of our relatives in BC. Meagan loved having cousins, aunts and uncles to play with, as she kept very busy. We hope to go again next summer. But that seems so long away! We have to survive being stuck in the house during the winter months!

Here is Caleb hanging out in the lake. He showed off his adorable smile to everyone, and always seemed happy and content. This time next year, he'll be running around the campground, and we'll have to keep up to him!

25th Anniversary

Well, our plans for my parents SURPRISE 25th Annivrsary Party went off without a hitch. They were totally surprised. The best surprise was seeing their faces went we brought out some of my mom's sisters and brothers from Quebec. We had a great time, and got to see many friends and relatives, and so many people pitched in and helped with setting up, food prep, and clean up. Thank you to everyone!!

The weather was perfect, and one of my favorite parts was watching Grant set off a whole bunch of fireworks. They were great. It went by too fast!!!!! My parents are showing my relatives from the East a bit of Alberta, and the mountains. I will be meeting up with them in Calgary, where I'll meet up with Grant from his trip to the US for the bike rally. Then we're off to BC for a week. Should be fun!!

Parade

Meagan had fun at the parade, even though it took her a little bit of time to ease up around the vehicles, as she tends to get scared easily around them. Grant stood beside her, to make her comfortable. She filled her little Diego bucket with candy, danced to some music, seen some friends, and had a great day...
