Visiting Magrath

While staying in Magrath for 2 weeks we had a lot of fun. Kyle and Kate were nice enough to let us park our trailer at their house. It was nice for me because Kate helped me a lot with the kids while Mike was back at work. On the first weekend Mike was able to come down so one afternoon we enjoyed a trip to Waterton. We stopped for a hot dog then spent some time at the water. It was quite windy but we had fun anyway.



Another past time was Kate teaching the boys a few notes on the piano. On several occasions I would hear some clucking on the keys and find one of the boys practicing what Kate had taught them. I thought that was really cute and I hope that Kate has installed some music appreciation into them.

Sydnee enjoyed her nightly bath at Kate's using Levi's bath seat. She thought it was great fun.
Usually every night we would put both babies into their swings to get them to sleep. It was cute to see them both enjoying their night time ritual.
We had to visit the skate park several times while in Magrath. Grandma Kimberley gave Aidan and Griffin each a skateboard for their birthdays so they had to show off their skills.


This is what Sydnee would be doing while at the skate park.
One Monday night for family home evening, Kate let the boys paint on some canvases that she had. They thought this was so cool. They were each very creative and were so excited to show their Dad what they had done. They were even more excited when they were told they could take the paintings home.


This was just a few of the fun things we did while in Magrath. I think the boys' favorite part was just playing with their cousins. We all had a great time.

Happy 8th Anniversary


On July 19th Mike and I celebrated our 8th Anniversary. We took Kyle, Kate and Levi out to the Keg with us for dinner. We had a great time. I can't believe it's already been 8 years. The time has gone by so fast and with 4 kids to show for it. We have had our up's and down's but we are still in love now more than ever. Happy Anniversary Babe I hope to have 50 more with you.

Thunder in the Valley

On Saturday July 17th we had a super fun day quading in the crowsnest pass. We met up with Jamey Hall who works with Mike and his family and with Jeff Sillito and his family. We all had a great time, the boys were in heaven. We couldn't get them off the quads at the end of the day.
This is Mike taking Sydnee for her first ride at 2 1/2 months old. I think she liked it as much as the boys.

They were so dirty by the end of the day. A good indication that they loved every minute if it.
After the day of quading we met up with Katie, Jantz, Kyle ,Kate and some of Kate's family at Thunder in the valley. One of the biggest fire work shows around. We were there a few hours early and even though the boys were so excited for the fire works they all fell asleep and slept through the whole show including Sydnee. That was our fist time going to it and it was worth the drive over there. It was a great fire work show. We didn't get home till 2:30am but we had a super fun time.

Mike's 30th Birthday



On July 11th 2010 we celebrated Mike's 30th birthday. We were in Magrath this weekend because this was the start of my 2 week stay. We invited Mom and John to Vince and Heather's and we all ate an awesome steak dinner and skor cake. We had a great time and the boys loved the sparklers on the cake. Now I can bug Mike about being an old man haha.
