Jolly Jumping

We introduced Linkers to a whole new world where he can jump and spin and he loves it. Too bad the only place the Jolly Jumper can go is in the doorway to the bathroom. He doesn't seem to mind it one little bit.

Fun at the Park

We had a fun morning at Minchau park this morning with Tracy and Erin - I went for the adult company and hopefully the kids burned off all their excess energy

This is my very good friend Tracy - we used to live together when we were both younger and crazier...I love that she lives in Calgary now and that we get to visit with each other more often.

Tracy took a picture of me and Linkers - I don't have too many of them with us together.

Merrill is my little daredevil! He is very brave to be standing up there - I would have peed my pants

Andy running on an old fashioned treadmill.

Linkers in the swing for the first time - I think he likes it

Isaac jumped off the swing - so did Erin and I have a very funny video of it....someday I may be able to use it for blackmail....

And these three monkeys were just hanging around

just a couple more of Linkers....

Canada Day

This year we did things a little differently and kept Canada Day a little more low key. It was still a great day and I am not exhausted by it all. We had a special breakfast and then Tracy and Josh arrived from Calgary. We went out to see Monsters vs Aliens which was really funny - too bad it wasn't in 3D though. Then we came home had some supper and put everyone down for a nap (even me) That was already my favorite part of the day. At 9:30pm we headed out for the fireworks at Millwoods park. There is something wonderful about being with so many people all celebrating their country. I love it! Every year I come home feeling very patriotic and thankful that I live in such a wonderful place.


This is all of us at the park - The Jacksons were beside us - it was great!

Linkers did great for his first time at the fireworks! He really is the most amazing baby.

This picture is great - Andy and Merrill were waving their flags and being goofy when the people behind us started shouting 'Where's Frank!' I love their expressions....

Andy was sure excited to have a fudgee O cookie.....So was Rich


Isaac is my angel. I can always count on him. He was very excited to have someone older than him to hang out with. Josh has been wonderful playing with my boys. I bet he will miss all the noise and craziness when he goes home...or maybe not.

Fun With Lincoln Outside

Today I wanted to do some work outside but my little Lincoln wouldn't go down for the nap I was hoping for. So I brought out his bumbo chair and a blanket. He was thrilled to be outside! The wind in his hair, the trees to watch swaying in the wind and most especially his brothers sword fighting with their water shooters. It was a lot of noise and a lot of fun. The best part though was that I was able to get some yard work done!

My latest Cake

Today I spent the day working on a cake - I love to decorate cakes - I definitely love to eat them. This one was made for my good friend Jenn's mom who is turning 65 this weekend.

Something New

This isn't anything new but I love this picture - the drool is always there and super cute - I love this boy!!

Lincoln has finally started to sit up! I am so excited - but a little bit sad that he is growing up. Rich tried to get him to crawl the other day but luckily I caught him and put a stop to his madness.

He is so good at sitting up that he can even reach for his own toys and sit up again -He's a genius!!

Something else that happened for the first time - Isaac helped cut the grass today!! He was so excited and so was Rich. I wonder how long the excitement will last......
