Best Football Game Ever!

On Friday night we went to my brother's first high school football game.  It was awesome!

Here's one of the first couple plays.  Joel is number 7 on the sidelines.

Here's the beginning of the first touchdown of the game.

And here's the end!  Joel scored it and I was screaming and jumping so missed getting a picture of the middle.

Congratulatory hug from his buddy.

Touchdown number two for Joel!!!

Another congratulations.

Nice picture of a scrimmage.

And the final touchdown by number 22.

Final score.  Hooray!  We left a bit early to go birthday shopping.  Also hooray!

Calaway Park!

I'm a week behind, but last Saturday we went to Calaway park with our favourite two little cuties.  Get ready for picture overload!  I just could not pick less.

Her first reactions to the big place.  She didn't seem too sure about it all.


This guy was happy in his stroller.

Going to get on her first ride with dad.

Here we go!

Smiling and getting ready to wave to all her fans.

She loved it!

Chilling out watching his big sister.

Her first ride all on her own!

She ran back to mom with a huge grin!

Baby type of entertainment, pine needles.

Next solo ride.

Family ride on Ocean Motion.  I was a little worried she wouldn't like it, but she giggled the whole time!  She couldn't speak because her "tummy was laughing"!

Then, I was supposed to go on a ride.  Leif convinced me to get on this monstrosity.

This was before the ride.  I was not so happy after.  Unlike our adorable niece, I do not like it when my tummy laughs.

On the kid roller coaster obeying the command to raise her arms.

Once the ride started, those hands were staying put!

Making baby laugh while the big kids had a turn on the monstrosity.


Playing on the picnic table.

Another ride.  She sure knows how to corner!

His first ride.  He had no clue what was going on.

Just like her dad, checking out how it all worked.

On the swings, with us in the background.

Swing number two with us in front so we could take pictures.

The kids had to go to a birthday party, but they gave us their tickets to stick around for a couple more hours and boy did we have fun!  Leif chose to ride some more scary rides.

I chose to get my arm painted.

And I won a basketball!!!  Super excited about this!  I used it already to practice for our games tomorrow.  More on that later...

Love life.

September Long Weekend

For the last boating long weekend of the summer, we had a blast with L and C again.  Here's us on our drive to BC in our new speedy car!  The guys seem extra excited.

Saturday was lake day. C got up on one ski for the first time no problem!

His football player shoulders.

And L popped up on two right away.  Her and I did a workout in the morning while the boys went golfing, so we were really sore by the end of the day!

Here's C goofing off.

There was a lot of ring exchanging to keep them safe and I ended up with all of them at one point!

Leif demonstrating his surfing skills again.

The cute couple.

C got the hang of surfing right away.

He nose dived quite a few times but always managed to pull himself back up.

Then it was time to get creative.  I think C spent more time behind the boat than the rest of us combined!  And we were happy to just watch all that he came up with.

That didn't work so well.

And neither did this.

Turning the surfboard into a kneeboard did though.



Here's us girls hanging out in the front of the boat.

Leif making nice pictures.

It was their first anniversary on Sunday!

Our hike to the top of the hill.

C yelling to the world that he beat me.  Which he did.  Quite handily.

Hope to see you guys soon!!!
