Zoë's first day of preschool
Zoë loved her first day of preschool, she has been waiting for this day for many months. She is used to going to different kinds of classes so this wasn't hard to get used too.
It is only a few blocks away from my house which I LOVE, compared to any of her other classes which have been about 10 minutes away.

Zoë staying afloat
Zoë has been doing such a good job of doggy paddling around the deep pool. I was able to get a little bit of her doing it before they told me I wasn't allowed to video tape at that pool.

Zoë turns four
My baby girl is now four, she had a super fun birthday this year which lasted for 3 days. Her birthday was Sunday so we went to the Stanfords for family dinner and Zoë got spoiled with gifts and it was decorated for a princess. She picked out her dinner which was hot dogs and fruit, she loved it.
My VERY rushed job on her birthday cake. It tasted better then it looked.
Day 2 we went to my parents place and had family dinner with them with pumpkin pie for dessert. She got to open even more presents there. I forgot to take pictures when i was there.
Day 3 Zoë said she wanted to have a sleepover for her birthday so I let her have 2 friends spend the night. They had a tonne of fun having pizza, opening presents, playing games, and watching a movie. She wanted a fairy themed birthday so I got tinkerbell the movie and bedding/nighties for them.
Zoë got to pick out a new outfit for her bunny Flopsy for her birthday, she picked a very colourful dress
Needless to say i'm ready for a NAP

Cabin
We had lots of fun at the cabin even if it wasn't great weather for most of the time. We would go on the paddleboat quite often and when we did the first time I had the kids swim back to the dock. Each time after that they would go in the water, even when I didn't want them too as they didn't have there swimsuits on.
My kids are obsessed with dogs, no fear at all. They LOVED having Toozik around at the cabin, and I got to admit it was VERY nice when it came to bedtime, they were so exhausted you never heard a word from them.
It was bathtime one evening so I decided to make a sign for Lee and have the kids go see him while he was playing xbox. I should do it more often, worked like a charm.

Montana/Southern Alberta
Lee's grandma passed away in her sleep last week so we went to the cabin a little earlier so my parents could watch the kids while we went to her funeral.
This was Zoë with her last year when we went to visit on our way to the Sefcik reunion.
It was nice seeing the Stanford relatives as we don't get to see them very often, even if it was under not great circumstances. I believe these are all the Stanford cousins and aunts/uncles minus one cousin.
Uncle Mark Stanford invited us on his pontoon boat one day while we were in Montana on Flathead Lake. it was a nice trip but we were thinking it was only going to be an hour so we definetely weren't prepared when we were on there for 5 1/2 hours! That is a HUGE lake as we didn't even come close to going to the end.

The Comedy Club
Zoë and Jayden are HILARIOUS to listen too. They were playing playdough for awhile and just listening to there conversations had me laughing the whole time.
Jayden was telling Zoë that when she goes "nanananannana" it's not nice and it's because she doesn't love herself. Then they proceed to go in a deep conversation about loving themselves.
(Zoë goes in time out for lying)
She starts counting 1, 2, 3 and says she has done 3 minutes in time out. I tell her it's only been 3 seconds so she counts again 1, 2, 3, minutes, i'm done!
When Zoë is done timeout she goes to Jayden and tells her why she was in timeout for lying, and that she always lies. Jayden asked if its cause Dreyton tells her to lie because Drew always tells her to lie.

Calaway Park
Lee and I, my mom and Dayna and the kids went to Calaway Park today. Zoë and Jayden had a blast on the rides, the boys on the other hand had fun NOT going on rides.
They have lots of cute rides that the girls can go on by themselves.
Dreyton had fun playing in the balls and the play structures they had around the park
Zoë and Jayden could have lastest alot longer then we did at Calaway, they would go on the same rides over and over again.
I was shocked they had bumper cars they could go on at 3 years of age, even Dreyton would have been able to go on them if he wanted too.

Camping
We just got back from camping in Fort Macleod this weekend. We wanted a campsite around Southern Alberta to go visit Lee's Grandma (who passed away in her sleep on July 30th) and Aunt in the Lethbridge hospital and my Granny in Magrath on Saturday.
It was a nice campground with a pool, games room, free mini golfing and a few other things. Unfortunately the campsite we were at was on the lower level of the campground where it was mosquito infested (100's of them). It was a huge campsite but mosquito's just swarmed the area, especially at dinner time. Next time we go we'd go to the upper campground as we didn't see any mosquito's around there.
It's funny how when you go camping the simplest things will entertain them for the longest time.
Can't go camping without s'mores.
They slept so well in the tent, I was impressed.

Heritage Park
Lee has been SO busy with work this year so far, and hasn't been able to have much downtime. I am excited for this month as he doesn't have CASB and it's not busy season so he will be able to spend some more time with us.
We decided to go to Heritage Park on Saturday, it was alot of fun.
Zoë LOVES rides, she is definetely like me. I have yet to find a ride she won't go on.
Dreyton on the other hand is the complete opposite, he is very cautious and would rather stand on the sidelines waving.
Getting ready for the train to leave, they were so excited to be in the train.

This week
I have been going to the splash park or the lake each day this week, we have had great weather so I wanted to take advantage of it while it was warm.
Dayna and my mom chillin' at the lake. I brought my canopy so we had some shade, a new essential when we go to the lake from now on.
The girls never get sick of the lake.
Dreyton loves to be independent so when he wanted to go upstairs without us to get dressed we let him. When he came downstairs it took us a minute to figure out what was a little off..
He got a shirt and put it on as pants, funny boy.
To celebrate Canada day we had a bbq at Mckenzie Lake, it was SO cold for being July.
Zoë is a nail biter, inherited from her daddy. When her nails are so short she can't bite them she starts to bite her skin to the point it starts to peel off. I have tried the gross tasting nail polish to get her to stop but it hasn't worked. Any suggestions?
