Summer Surprise


A few weeks ago we came across and surprise for the boys. It was a great price and so I was able to easily talk Pat into getting it for them. So we took a Saturday morning and went and picked it up and brought it up to the camp. The boys had no idea what it was just that they were going to get a surprise!


 So I got the camera out and as we drove up to the camp I took pictures of there reactions. This picture they are looking to see if they see it yet!
 And this picture they just caught a glimps of it." Whoa mommy"" is what Weston was saying
 TA DA! there own playset! We bought it second hand and got it for less than half of its original price. It was only 2 yrs old and in great shape. Here is Pat putting it together. this picture still doesnt have the side arm with all the swings on it. it came with a matching picnic table.( costco)
Because we live on a hill , it obviously wouldnt be good at our house so putting it at the camp was the best place for it. actually works out great because they can play on it while we are in the pool. it is just outside the fence for the pool!
 That day was a big day for Nelson! he has never been in the pool before. He has had no interest in the pool and when we would ask him to come in he would get upset. So this day i was clewaning out our little cabin for our up coming guest and i looked out and seen Pat getting Nelson all geared up. Apparently he told Pat he wanted to go into the pool! we think he must of been hot!
 So they started out slow with putting their feet in the water and going from there.
 Splish Splash, this was a few minutes before it was all over. Apparently Nelson was getting more comfortable and he stood up and due to his lifejacket he was top heavy and fell face fiurst into the water. Pat grabbed him but not before his face hit the water a little bit. So that was the end of that!!!!!!! so much for Nelson enjoying the pool!
So now Nelson has once again resumed his postion pool side eating snacks while we all go swimming.
There is always next year!

canada day fun


This year for Canada Day we were invited to Jill and Jason's cottage. We packed up the boys and the truck and off we went.


 The boys loved the canada flags. we counted them all along the way. Nelson was the only one sporting a canada day shirt, waving his flag!
 Weston without his shirt. big surprise!
 Pat teaching weston how to play baseball! Weston was actually interested. hes not up til now been interested in sports of any kind. Nelson seems to be more interested than him. but you never know.
 we went for a walk down to the water. the other kids were fishing.
 me and the all the boys.
 Cheese!!!!!!
 Weston climbing the cliff back up to the cottage
 Toby cuddling with Lenon
 Fireworks time. The boys were not enjoying the loudness of the fireworks so we went into the cottage and watched from the window!
finished off the night with Nelson cuddling with Jill!too cute!
We all had a great time. Weston still every once in a while says " Mommy i cant wait til next year for canada day, we will go to Jill and Jasons cottage again right?"

Piggy Bank raid!!!!!


Well today was the first Piggy Bank Raid for Weston.
We have never taken money out of his bank to buy anything before!


 This morning we went to work counting out all the big money from his piggy bank. We counted twoonies and loonies and quarters. We got a grand total of 30$ . We got a ziplock bag and dropped it in!
                                             quickly the boys got dressed and were ready to rock n roll
                                    The excitment level was rising as we approached the door
                                                               At last the wait is over!
                      I advised Weston to do a once over to make sure it was in top working order
                                      Checked the wheels and legs and all seemed to me good!
                                                    Weston was off and running to the cash
 While he watched the lady count his money Nelson took off with the wheel barrow. Which needless to say, Weston didnt care for that to much. Lets just say there was some sqreaching!
We went to home hardware for 1 wheel barrow but ended up leaving with 2. They were not cheap, so they better use them everyday haha. It was their own money at least. So now they both have good shovels and their own wheel barrows!

                             I have awesome, cute boys! Today was yet another example of just that!

Family fun!

Sunday June 12th the family gathered up at the camp to celebrate Lenon!
We had a awesome meal of steak and salads and delicious cakes for dessert!

 Grand Mere got to meet Lenon and she defiantly enjoyed him!
 Grampy and Nelson hanging out waiting to eat our meal.
 The kiddies got some great play time in with Marc and Mel. They had a blast rolling and throwing Nelsons new balls .still my favorite part of the day was when the boys were helping me open the gift from marc and mel for Lenon and Nelson opened a sippy cup that was the same as his and he squealed with excitement for what seemed like a long time. It was so sweet and funny since it wasnt even a gift for him! hahaha well to him I guess he figures it is his now!Thnx for the gifts Marc and Mel!!!!!!!

 Pat joined in the game!
 I have a very similar picture of Marc holding Weston almost four years ago! unfortunalty i dont think we have one with Nelson :(
another uncle marc picture. not sure how i managed to forget to get one with Lenon and Mel :( next time for sure thou.
