Stampede Breakfast

Dayna's mother-in-law's work was having a stampede breakfast today so we took the kids minus Dreyton (home with daddy) to it.

Zoë has no fear when it comes to animals, she loved riding on the pony.

trying with all there might to pull the "bull"

I put one of Dreyton's stampede shirts on Zoë today and Drew was wearing the same one, we both found them at garage sales.

Cake Decorating Class

This month I have been going to a cake decorating class, it has been SO fun. Unfortunately my hard drive crashed and I no longer have a picture of my first cake which was a rainbow cake. I found the hardest part in the course was getting the right consistency with the iciing, even a couple drops of water could change the whole consistency.

This is someone else's rainbow cake, but mine looked very similar.

My finale cake, I torted the cake before all the iciing and put some pudding inside the middle of the cake as well.

Elbow Falls

We went to elbow falls this morning for fathers day, we have missed being so close to the mountains while living in Edmonton. I forgot my camera but here are some we took with Lee's cellphone.

The kid's brought up some belgium waffles that they made (with some help from me of course) to daddy in bed to start his day. He then got two presents, quad scriptures and some shamWOW's (he's been asking for them for awhile..).

Lee and I walked across this little stream, it took alot of effort for me to last this long to get the picture taken, it was freezing.

I LOVE to look at waterfalls

kid's playing in the rocks, Zoë brings home "special" rocks every day.

After Dreyton had his nap we went over to my parent's house for a turkey dinner and a couple of games.

300th Post

wow, I can't believe I have written 300 posts since I started this blog. We went to prince's island park the other day to go feed some ducks as we had some stale bread to use up. We found some really cute ducks with there babies but the evil canadian geese kept attacking them every time they'd come close to us. We fed some geese but they kept coming closer and one of them would come so close it would start hissing at us, I made sure they didn't come near my babies.

We had a surprise anniversary party yesterday for Lee's parents at our house. They thought we were having a graduation party for Lee and were quite surprised walking into the room. We had a ham dinner, funeral potatoes, caesar salad, buns, lots of fruit and vegetables, beans and a few jello salads. I thought it turned out really good and seemed like everybody had fun. 

Dreyton was having fun going in circles at the kitchen island showing off his goggles The fun we had at midnight after the party.

Splash Park

You will probably get tired of seeing pictures of the splash park by the end of the summer as i'm sure we'll spend most of our days there. It is just across the street from us and the kids love it, there's a big splash area and the kids use the beach volleyball area as a giant sandbox.

Lee had a 1/2 an hour off today so he came for a little bit.
