Ok, how freaking cute is this picture!!!! Wearing nothin' but rubber boots!!! Every mom must have a picture of their kid like this. Especially if every kid is as obsessed with their rubbe boots as Rowan is with his. I had them, at one point, put away for the summer, but he drug them out. Of course. Everytime we go somewhere, he goes and get those boots. And, as you can see, they are his favorite thing to wear in the house too! :)
My daycare kids have been very busy taking care of the garden we planted. Today was a huge pay off for the kids!!!! Great job guys!!!!
We went camping this weekend! Man, we had a total blast!!! We came back a little worn out, dirty, and totally refreshed! The kids had a really great time. They had soooo much fun. We went on saturday morning and came home monday afternoon. Man, I loved hanging out with my family all weekend! We had a really great site. Lots of grassy area where the kids could run and play. We went with my friend Jana, and her hubby, and their 2 girls. Their oldest, Arilyn is just a few months younger than Ashlyn. So the girls get along; and play really well together. We really enjoyed hanging out with everyone. Shelby even made it down for an afternoon. My kids sure enjoyed having her to snuggle with for an afternoon! We also made it into GP for a little shopping. Books and kid clothes were on the list! The campground we went too, Saskatoon Iland, is a really nice one. Lots of walking trails, and playgrounds for the kids. There is a nice beach, though it was too cold to spend any time there this weekend. Anyways, here are some pictures!!!

Rownie, I think you are in the wrong seat! :)
Kassidy is just soooo cute! The only little baby to ever make me re-think not having another baby! She just melts my heart!
Our campsite. Panorama style!
Even though we have had little sun and a LOT of rain, out little garden is starting to produce. Baby carrots, peas, and raspberries are all making an appearance! All the kids are sloop excited about the food! Here are some pics! Sorry, didn't get pics of the carrots! :(
Checking out the peas.
Peas! Not quite ready, but give them a few days!
Raiding the raspberries!
Gold raspberries we got from Uncle Dave and Auntie Jen's garden in Manning!
I just had to share these photos with you all :). We were at Daniel's brothers house and they have a huge raspberry patch out in the back. We brought the 3 kids out there (3rd being our niece, Zoë) and we all had a fiest. The second is Rowan with his new found love: trains!
How luck am I to have these two amazing kids!!!!
Yup. We are flooded. Our basement, our city, our region. Every thing is deffinately water logged. Roads are washing out, and new lakes are forming. I'm glad insurence hasn't come to fix my basement yet, because it in the process of flooding again!
So while my basement is out of commission, we are all crammed into the up stairs. We are all cranky and needing space. The worst part, is not only did we loose half our house, we can't go outside because it's so wet.
Yup, I don't think i could get any more stressed out. But I'm trying to roll with it. :). Which is hard. Especially since Danny has picked up extra shifts at work. He has worked the last 8 days and still had 4 to go. He usually works 4 on 4 off. So not only am I crammed up stairs with 7 kids I can't take out, i (or my kids) haven't seen Daniel I'm over a week! *sigh* it will pass, right?
I am LOVING this summer weather! Last week it was so rainy and depressing, but this week it's been nice and hot!!! I took the kidlets to Beach Day yesterday and we had a playdate with another daycare this morning in her backyard and now we are playing in the back yard with the pools and water! We are DEFFINATELY taking advantage of the sun!!! All the sun is making me crave the Okanagan! We have decided to go September 15th to 26th. Nana will be soo excited! I am a little worried that all the touristy things will be shut down, as I love going and just being a tourist! But, I am sill pretty pumped about it :)
Had to share this photo of Ashlyn and the garden we planted together!!! :) she is pretty proud of it!!!
