New Addition to our House

Last Thursday we headed out to the "Annual Gold Fish Swim" at our local pool.  The kids are always excited about the opportunity to swim with the fishies and try their luck at catching one.  Took a little to convince B that he wouldn't need his fishing rod for the task!  Both boys had great luck with the assistance of their dad!

I am happy to report that four days later we still have two live...swimming fish! Thanks to Grandma they have a new home (a fish tank with a pump instead of a trusty old fish bowl) and seem quite happy in it.

Here's a few pics of the swim...

Ahhh....Lazy Weekend

This weekend is just what the Dr. ordered!  Last night it kicked off with my husbands staff BBQ, hosted at our house.  The company was great and it was a great way to end a hectic week.  After C's first day he was super tired and wasn't the most sociable but everyone understood.

Today we checked out the Family Fun Day, a local fundraiser for our swimming pool.  Blair was suppose to bob for apples in chocolate pudding as part of one of the events but it was moved to Tuesday at the school (I hope to get some pics from that!).  Then we had family nap time.  We were all in need of one!

This evening I joined Blair at the golf course for a fantastic steak supper at his baseball wind-up.  Then home for me to take the sitter home and have a little R&R time (he's out with the boys tonight). 

Tomorrow we hope to have a nice quiet day again...maybe get some laundry done...maybe not...we'll see what the day brings! 

P.S - I was exited to finally feel Baby #3 kick this week!  Wow how I love that feeling! :)

My Baby Starts School

Friday was quite the day at our house.  C started Kindergarten!  He was so excited he was up early very excited to get out the door!  I think dad was pretty excited to have him at school too.  C was waiting outside his door at lunch and after school ready to go with dad.  I knew it was a hit when he said that school was more fun than daycare and home! 

B survived the day without his "brodder" around and having mom home from work for the day.  We spent the morning running errands and had a little quality time on the couch sharing a snack.  Then he spent pretty much the whole afternoon napping...taking advantage of a quiet house.  I have to admit I may have snuck in a few zzz's as well. 

Here are a few pictures of the first day...enjoy!

Summer Vaca

A couple of weeks ago I took the week off and we had plans of going camping somewhere in Saskatchewan.  Our final decision was to check out Buffalo Pound Provincial Park near Moose Jaw, Sk.  We had intentions of staying 3 to 4 nights but the weather got the best of us!  After two nights of "not the greatest" weather, we decided to pack up and head home.  Here is one picture of the boys that I was able to snap during the few minutes of sunshine that we did have.  It was memorabale vaca to say the least!

One of my favourites!

Was going through some photos from the last couple of months the other day and this is one of my favourites!

C's "First Time" Knee Boarding

Over the weekend I was editing some pictures and have a few I thought would be fun to share.  The weekend we spent camping we had the privelge to spend some time out on the boat with my Aunt and Uncle.  C took great pleasure in this and took advantage of every chance he had to jump on the tube or knee board.  Here are some pics...enjoy.....

Fishing & "Dad I can't swim"

I couldn't resist sharing this one as I thought it was rather cute.  My husband decided to take the two boys fishing last night at their local "favourite" fishing spot.  This was only the second time he has taken both boys and thus was sure to be an adventure.  My dad went with them which I think was a great thing.

So I was busy catching up on books when my phone went off, only to have a text from my husband.  "B just fell in the water up to his waist".  I couldn't resist....I laughed out loud and responded "That's funny".  I know what a nice compassionate mom...but if you only knew B's personality!

When they arrived home I had to get the low down.  Of course B blamed his "brodder" for pushing him in although his brother had nothing to do with it.  The funniest part was apparently he kept saying to his dad "Dad I can't swim!"  like really dad!!  Anyway, I think it was good for a few laughs although he didn't think it was too funny!

Hmm...Where to Vacation!

As I had mentioned, my husband was playing ball this past weekend.  They won their playoffs and thus we are off to Kindersley, Saskatchewan for his baseball Provincials.  Thus..let the summer vacation planning begin.  We have been waiting to see where it would take us and now we know!

We will spend next weekend in K town then thought we would head off to Drumheller to show the boys all the fun dinosaur "stuff" that they have to offer.  Then we are unsure, we would like to camp at one of the wonderful Provincial Campgrounds in Saskatchewan but as of yet the verdict is out as to where we will stay! 

Where ever we go, I am sure we will make some wonderful memories and have lot's of fun!
