Missing Daddy!

Keith has been off in BC this week working on getting a new salon/spa set up. Things didn't go quite as planned so he had to stay a couple extra days :-(
We've been busy with having our friend, Roman, over for playtime fun; going to Big Al's Fish Aquarium to see the shark feeding; hanging in the hot tub (and practising our swimming) and hanging with our buds at the Sherren's!

We all miss him & are really looking forward to his return...see you Saturday Daddy O!

Parties and BBQs

What a crazy weekend this has been. Spencer & Curtis were at their buddy Connor's birthday party on Saturday. The boys were having so much fun that it was really hard to leave but we were also hosting a year end BBQ the Beaver Leaders and their families. It was great to see everyone again.

Sunday was spent with Auntie Anne. It was somewhat relaxing..."Want to verse me in Basketball Auntie Anne?" "Want to verse me in badminton Auntie Anne?". We had a great visit and a yummy dinner.

Boy...can't believe the weekend is over already!!!

The First Long Weekend of the Summer - YEAH!!!

It's Victoria Day weekend & guess what...we are going to the campground again after we finally get together with Deb & Don to celebrate the missed birthday's - Spencer, Don, Heather, and Deb (Keith too just in case we have this much trouble connecting again). We all got amazing gifts & no worries...Curtis wasn't left out either.
Saturday it was off to the "cottage" to begin the deck building project. What a great job Dad, Uncle Steve & Gary did on banging it together. Just a few more finishing touches, like skirting & stairs, & then we are off to the next project...the shed! Don't worry Dad, you should be able to rest a bit before the summer is over...except for all the things on the to-do list for the house! No rest for the wicked!!

The rest of the weekend was spent hanging with Thomas, William and baby Sarah. The kids had a great time at the McDonald's Playland, creating wicked castles out of popsicle sticks and stickers, making the coolest tropical fish and playing with some turtles and a salamander. Oh and lets not forget all the bike riding we got to do. It is so awesome without training wheels...we can really go!!!

We ALL woke up reeeeaaaaalllllly sleepy Tuesday morning...I guess we shouldn't be surprised as it was a pretty packed weekend!

Another Baby Tooth BITES the Dust!


The last of the top front tooth finally bit the bullet today. The tooth ferry rocks because she even came in a wicked thunder storm & left Spencer $2. He's sure he can find something to spend it on!!!

Look Mom...No Training Wheels!!!

With a little practice and hard work, both boys have managed to master riding their bikes with no training wheels. They can go like the wind now after only 3 days! Both of them are trying to do wheelies, slide stops and many feet tricks. My little daredevils are going to make me go grey prematurely!!!

Camping Begins!

Well it's officially begun...camping for the 2007 Season is here!
Fortunately Spring has sprung & we had some really nice weather...not too hot & not too cold & hardly any bugs. Perfect!!! Here's the newest addition to our camping family. We've had our first official camping weekend sleeping over Saturday night. Soon we will begin work on a nice big deck and get things organized & ready for the camping season!

The weekend was filled with such things as cleaning out the fire pit...















...Cruising around to get things done on the golf cart...










...showing off at the climbers and playing with our friends!







And who could forget the odd video game. What a great weekend!





We are really looking forward to the next weekend & getting things off of our list so we can enjoy the rest of the summer.
