Summer love

I had a market in a nearby community, so Grandma O and the kids tagged along! I think fun was had by all! 

Their love for each other runs deep! 

Cooper the Baker - extraordinaire

While big sis is away, Coop and Mommy get to play. Well, really... we bake and practice perfecting his scrambled eggs. 

Sawyer goes to Kindergarten

I feel like this day couldn't come fast enough, but I wish it didn't come as well. Sending our firstborn off to Kindergarten has been very bittersweet. She LOVES school, always has, and hopefully always will. However, I feel like I have lost a little bit of control over her life and need to let her teacher take some of the control that I'm relinquishing. The best part of Kindergarten for me is that, she loves it and her teacher not only goes to our church, but is in a women's bible study with me. How could our transition into school have been more amazing. She is truly an amazing teacher and knows just how to deal with her 15 little crazies.

Beautiful Sunday at the Battle River

We headed down to the Battle River with Glenys, Ezra, Ryder, Mckenzie, Auntie Debbie and Ashlyn. It was the perfect day. Sheltered from wind, waist deep water (for the kids) and a great spot for watching the kids. They played for 3 hours and so much fun was had by all! 

Ryder just drove right in!

Ms. Kenzie even had time for a nap.

Happy 7th!

Morgan whisked me away to Edmonton for our anniversary. Not only did we spend a lot of time with some great friends, but we went for a 40km bike ride which included a beautiful bike ride in the river valley.
