Camping trip

We enjoyed another fun filled weekend. We headed up to St.Malo and camped along side Steve's family for the weekend. The kids had a blast hanging out with there cousins. The temperature again reached scorching highs and we spent most of the time cooling off at the beach. Cassidy had heat stroke on saturday night which made for a 'not so fun' night but she recovered and was out on the beach on sunday. Here are some pics that I took and some that Sherri passed along to me.

The kids played alot in the dirt with there cars and trucks.





Enjoying a camp fire. Steve's Baba was able to come join us for part of the weekend.




Here we are getting ready to have some birthday cake to celebrate Grandma's birthday.

another normal day. . .

Here are a few every day pics from our household. Liam has finally figured out the whole walking thing and is getting better and more confident every day, although if he wants something really bad, he still resorts to crawling. You may notice the nice big scar on his forehead. He decided he wanted to 'kiss' the concrete one day! Silly boy.
Aidan started swimming lessons this week and after a few days of getting used to it, he is now enjoying it. As well, we are off camping this weekend again.

Splash Island

Yesterday we took a trip out to Potage La Prarie and went to there water park 'Splash Island'. To anyone who has not heard of it, it is a small waterpark that is fairly new and is only about $13 to take an entire family for the day. We met up with the Miltons from Brandon to celebrate there little boy Caleb's 4th birthday. It was again a hot, sweltering day and we are all rather red from it but overall it was a great place to take the kids and we look forward to going again sometime.

Here is Liam enjoying the cool water! He loved sitting in his floaty and almost fell asleep in it.

Time for some spiderman birthday cake!!



The Milton's new baby girl Isabella.
After having a long swim, we took a walk to a park nearby before we left for home.







I think the kids have missed there playmates. Especially Caleb and Aidan who were inseperable the entire time.

day at the beach.

As most of you may have noticed by now, we like to keep busy as a family. Especially since the weather has been so hot. Here in Winnipeg we haven't had rain for a long time so I think a rainy day would do us some good.
We took the kids to Birds Hill park Beach on Tuesday since Steve had a day off. The water was warm and the kids had fun splashing. Steve built them a big sand fort and they played forever.
We buried the kids in sand. They thought it was pretty neat.


This weekend is supposed to be a scorcher and we are meeting up with friends from Brandon in Portage La Prarie and checking out there 'Spash Island' water park. I of course will bring the camera and have lots of pics to share! The next weekend we are off to St. Malo with Steve's family and then our trip to Edmonton is coming up as well!

Another hot summer day. . .

We again are experiencing very hot and dry weather. Here are some pics of our weekend.
Saturday Steve had to work so the kids played outside as well as we visited a local wading pool
This first pic shows the new fence that Steve built last week. I am glad to know dogs will not be digging through our garbage anymore. The next project will be ripping up the deck. The yard has alot of work yet and many things may have to wait till next summer.

Here are the kids enjoying the wading pool at the 'bronx' park. Even though the water was cold, it didn't stop the kids from getting right on in. Liam even enjoyed it which was surprising since he hates the pool at home.

Miss Sadie

I am so glad that I finally got to meet you. Your even more beautiful in person then in your pictures. I am sorry if I scratched you or poked you in the face. I just was so caught up in your beauty I didn't know how to behave.
Please can I come visit you again soon?
Love Liam
