Catching Up

It's been awhile since I've posted some regular updates...we've been busy...even though it's summer!  And yes, part of that "busyness" includes swimming in our (clean!) pool!  Anyhow, here's an update, in photos, as to what we've been doing!

A walk at C___ M____ with Oma!

Checking out an old bird watching shack.

At the park with Aunt Petra.

Watching the baler make haybales
(...and yes! I was nervous he'd fall!)

Baking some carrot muffins with cream cheese frosting..yum!

Austen went on a date with Daddy for "Date-Thursday" - they went canoeing and fishing!

Made rainbow cake pops for a visit to our friends the T____'s.

A close-up of the rainbow cake pops...they are rainbowy on the inside too!  5 colours!

Playing in the pool...

Just lazying around :)

We put in a new-to-us slide (found on a used website) and it's awesome!  Ian cemented it down and we all wrote our initials in the cement...permanence!  Guess it means we're staying at this house and NOT moving :)

Here you see Mason just getting in from the slide.

Sliding down, ready to catch!

Austen down the slide!

LOVE this action shot!

Came across this sign one morning....

"No Monsters Allowed" it says....
by Austen...
.I thought it was so cute in how he sounded out "Allowed"

Ethan's favourite passtime...playing with the vacuum hose.

On "Make-it-Monday" we made headbands...I love how they turned out!

Side shot! Cute!

This monkey likes the pool but not for as long as his siblings do...so he spends lots of time on the sidelines, just watching with one of us.

Hava a great day!

PS  Did you notice Dakota, our dog, in many of the shots?  He's always RIGHT.THERE.
