Lots and Lots of Pictures

This is what happens over summer holidays I guess!  Between a trip to Saskatchewan, a family wedding, two weekend camping trips and general business it's been almost a month since I last put pictures up.  But they are here now, so enjoy!!

22 July 2012 - Last Sunday in Bengough.  Downstairs for a short Sunday school lesson with Grandma Bonnie.

23 July 2012 - We drove back to Calgary today, and look what I found in my garden!  Lots of goodies.

24 July 2012 - The girls were quite affectionate this morning.  They took turns holding each other on their lap.

25 July 2012 - A quick trip to the Childrens hospital to have Jesse's spots looked at.  The waiting room was empty so the kids got all the video game consoles.

26 July 2012 - Ana's lovely attire for the playground.  :-)

27 July 2012 - Ana in the hammock.

28 July 2012 - Getting our hair done at Grandma Brenda's house.  Ana was sleepy!

29 July 2012 - Out for an evening with our friends in Airdrie.  Jesse and his buddy Seth had a blast riding down the hill by the park.

30 July 2012 - Making stepping stone for Grandma Brenda and Grandpa John's newly renovated back yard.

31 July 2012 - Strange clouds by our house tonight.

1 August 2012 - Brenda gave us some of the boys old shirts...and Jesse picked this one right away from the bunch.  Just like his daddy! 

2 August 2012 - Family BBQ at the Coghlins because lots of family was around for the wedding this weekend.  The lucky kids were spoiled with some new clothes from A.Val and U.Bill.

3 August 2012 - This is from the BBQ the night before.  Our three kids with Mike's youngest cousins.

4 August 2012 - Wedding day!  The kids with their soon-to-be Auntie Chantal.  Such a special day.

5 August 2012 - The girls carried around their flower girl baskets for many days after the wedding...and wore their special shoes and socks.  

6 August 2012 - Comfy place to watch a movie!

7 August 2012 - At the zoo for the day...checking out a hippo here.

8 August 2012 - This is where things get out of order...we actually went to Calaway Park on the 10th, but I didn't take any pictures this day (or the next).  Anyway, the kids all loved the bumper cars!

9 August 2012 - Camping out in Kananaskis.

10 August 2012 - Ana and her coffee...this kid actually likes (and asks for) black coffee or with just a bit of cream.  

11 August 2012 - Breakfast with daddy...what a treat!

12 August 2012 - Ana and Mike relaxing at camp.

13 August 2012 - Coloring out at camp.
14 August 2012 - Jesse and Eli trade electronic devices to share their games.

15 August 2012 - Rebecca's first bit of dental work.  She did great.

16 August 2012 - Jesse asked to buy clay from the store the other day...and proceeded to make all these things from Angry Birds from memory!  He put a crazy amount of detail into these.

17 August 2012 - Our first week with the new church happened to be their family camp, so off camping we went again.  Luckily, this time we had the use of a trailer that John and Brenda were borrowing.  The kids got to sleep in the cozy beds.


18 August 2012 - Lots of fun down at the river that runs right through the campground.

19 August 2012 - More fun in the river.  Jesse jumped in and floated down to Grandpa John.

And, here are a few bonus pictures from when we were in Saskatchewan last month...

Nice curly hair after a day in the pool.

Eli and Rebecca watching a video on the iPod.

Rebecca could get some good air off the 1m diving board.

Jesse even attempted the 3m board twice!

Fire Chief Grandpa Al took us for a ride in the towns new fire truck.

Jesse got to turn on the siren.

I don't know what these two were doing, but they sure look mischievous.

Becca with Grandpa Al's hat.

Jesse and Eli sharing a very large fireman's jacket.

All the kids in the old pumper truck.

Ana and Grandpa Al out for a ride.
