Reno's and Garden's galore!

Well I am really not keeping up on this blog thing, I really wanted to be adding something every other day or so. Life is full of excitement and keeps us buys we love it! So sometimes blogging will just have to wait!

We had a great weekend. Basement Reno's are in full swing and Kendall is doing a great job! I can't wait to have our family/playroom down there! a place where all of us can hang out! We were busy on Saturday with planting the family veggie garden. This year is our first year for a garden so lets keep our fingers crossed. We planted green beans, yellow beans, corn, snow peas, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce and green peppers! I think Landon will have a blast once we can see some plants and start harvesting! I can't wait to make pickles, relish and dill carrots!

It is now the end of May and we really still haven't received any warm weather. I am hoping for a good summer full of swimming and outdoor fun. I won't be getting another summer off for a while!

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!

Still getting used to this whole blog thing but again I really think it will be cool to be able to look back as a family and see our events.

Yesterday was "cousin" Jodi's birthday, Nicole and I made a trip to Truro to visit surprise Jodi and head out for supper and a night of girl chat! It was fun and I really need to get out without the kids more often. It gives Kendall a chance to really bond with them! He said the kids were good and that they had a fun night. Avery was a bit hard to get put down for the night but other than that a pretty normal evening.

When I arrived home I did find Landon cuddling in my spot. Think he missed me or just wanted to watch TV with dad?

We really didn't do much today just hung around the house. it is a pretty cool day here and overcast so we didn't even venture outside for some playtime.

hopefully tomorrow the weather will be better!

First family blog!

Hello all!

This is our family's first blog!

I am mostly doing this to track our family events and to allow a record of our history. I am hoping that some day the kids will be able to look back and see all the fun and challenging things they have accomplished over the years!

We had a great May long weekend! Kendall was able to get away on Saturday and Sunday with his dad for a bit of fishing and camping! While away Me, Landon, Avery and "cousin" Jodi stirred up a bit of our own fun!

Saturday was spent downtown Halifax. We went across on the ferry, it was Landon and Avery's first time, once getting off the ferry we made our way down tow the Museum of the Atlantic. The museum was having a birthday celebration for their Macaw "Merlin" it was his third birthday! Landon got to make a parrot puppet, we all had cake! Avery was loving the treat! I was surprised at how much stuff they actually had there for kids to do. It was a great afternoon.

Sunday started off with trying to pack for a day trip to the Valley for a visit to Oaklawn Zoo! It was a beautiful sunny day and the kids did really well with traveling in the car with the heat. Once arriving home we were greeted by Kendall who said he enjoyed his trip and that he actually caught the biggest fish!

Monday we did the usual "hang out in the yard" thing. we transplanted some plants and dug out the wade pool for Landon, and of course we ended the day with a barbecue and ice cream!

couldn't ask for anything more! :)
