Summer Gone and Fall's Here

Well the summer is almost offiacially over and man it sure does seem like it with this weather. Rain, rain and more rain. We havent had to water the grass all summer. Anyway Since we have got home in the middle of July we have been able to do a few things. It has been so fun to be a family again and hang out. Here is our summer recap; we have been to the Beattie Family Reunion at Park Lake, had a Birthday Party for Kaden, Went to the Campbell Family Reunion in West Castle, had Brock's Birthday Party, Been swimming at the Stirling Pool, We have been to Waterton for 3 day trips and Went camping again in West Castle. I feel like we haven't done too much in the last 2 months but I'm so glad for that. I have been enjoying being home and not feeling like I always have to be planning the next trip. I have just loved to BE HOME. The kids have really loved to be here too with everyone home. Being away from your kids or them being away from their mom and brother for that long is not normal, or good for anyone.

Waterton day trip July 26, 2010:




You know that it is a nice day in Waterton when you can go swimming in the lake!! I made all the boys a deal that if they dunked their heads all the way under that they could either have $2 or an icecream cone. Surprise, surprise they all chose the $2.

Kaden's 6th Birthday, July 30, 2010






Campbell Reunion July 31 to Aug 3, 2010

We had a double Birthday for Kaden and Brock, with all the Seely's in West Castle. They were led on a scavanger hunt...

...and the last thing on the list that they had to find was...

...A cammo colored mini quad. They were pretty excited about it. Our rule is that you have to be 6 to ride by yourself, Kaden got pretty good at it, I usually ride on the back of Brock and help him to control the throttle. Too fun!!



Campbell Reunion, Monday Picnic and Drive

Here's Kaden jumping into cold water again.

Brock was staying clear of the water this time, and was happy just to throw some rocks into the creek. What a beautiful picture. It just takes my breath away, I love the mountains.

And the picnic, my kids love to have picnics. Usually it doesn't matter what were having if were calling it a picnic it is always so much more fun to eat lunch.


Brock's 4th Birthday, August 9, Bowling and cake with the Smiths.


Brock requested a strawberry cake!! My boy sure LOVES cake. yumm
