Summer Adventure

Well the camping trip to Dollar lake was a blast! Avery did VERY well and sleeping some where's different didn't seem to bother her a bit! Landon loved going out on the boat, even though they didn't catch anything. Kendall and Dad went out on Saturday, I think Dad really enjoyed getting out and doing some fishing.

Avery didn't really like the water, it was still too cold for her. she pretty much slept in Nan's arms the whole time. Landon and Jodi made a great sandcastle and I took Harley for a swim! It cooled him off but I know Mom probably cursed me where the water is going to cause him the shed like a bugger!

We enjoyed the whole camping thing and I can't wait to do it again! we do have a chance to go Canada day weekend but I think it will be very busy at the camp ground and we probably should stay home to get yard work and some gardening done.

We have moved the computer, TV and all the toys down to the basement now that it is finished. It looks great and it certainly keeps the upstairs a lot cleaner for longer!

only 2 1/2 months left of mat leave then back to work I go. I am really going to miss my kids but I am sure that once i get back into the swing of things at work I will be ok. I am really hoping that once # 3 comes I get to stay home.

Until next time, use sunscreen and hang in the shade!

I wasn't going to do a post already but I am just way to excited for my cousin Rae-Anne and her little angel Kamryn, oh yes and her daddy Anthony! we are pretty much sure that today is the day that she gets to go home from the IWK! Kamryn was born a few weeks early and had some complications. She is pulling through like a champ and keeps on amazing us with every turn! She's a fighter so world watch out!

Landon had a blast at Monster Jam on Saturday! he was sad that Donkey Kong wasn't there but Grave digger was so now he has two favorite Trucks. Well I think he may actually have more than two cause there is also a Batman truck!

I only have three more months left of mat leave and I am trying to adjust to the idea of going back to work. I didn't realize how hard it would be. Hopefully I will only have to do it for a few more years. I am hoping that I will be able to do some in home childcare and not have to work out of the home. I am torn by this idea of in home childcare as well where it is also a very trying job and is a lot of work. People probably think that you just let the kids play while you watch soaps all day but that is NOT the case at all!

We had another great night at soccer last night. Landon loves playing with other kids. I really want to get him out this summer and hopefully squeeze in a few play dates with Keenan where he is living so close now. Nonna and Papa also have started the pool clean up so that will be nice to have this summer. I just hope the weather warms up soon.

We are going on our first camping trip with Avery this weekend! We are just going to Dollar lake so if anything really goes wrong we are pretty close to home. Kendall and I have invited Nannie and Grampie out for a father's day supper. Kendall is also planning on taking Landon out in the canoe for a bit of fishing. Should be a good time and the weather is suppose to be nice and hot, I am hoping to get Avery down to the beach to test the sand!

Well this week hasn't been as nice to us as last week. We had a great time at Tessa's birthday party. it was a great afternoon and wonderful to get out of the house. The bad part was that by the time I went to bed on Sunday I had a full blown head cold. During the night Landon woke up not feeling so great as well.

So we are now on day #4 of colds. I feel much better than what I did earlier this week and Landon seems to have a lot more energy. Today is the first day that we haven't napped during the day!

The down fall to being sick this week is that it has been SO nice out! today was the first time we enjoyed it. I thought even though we are still sniffling both Landon and I have more energy so we played on the deck most of the morning and after lunch we took Avery out on the lawn. Landon played with her while I mowed, it was time and Kendall has be very busy with work and the basement that he hasn't really had time to get the lawn mowed.

The basement is coming along great. Kendall says that we should be planning to move down on Sunday! of course we can't do it Saturday Landon and Kendall have monster trucks at the speed world. Landon is very excited!

hopefully my next post will be coming to you when the computer is in the basement! fingers crossed!

What an exciting week for us! Landon played on his first soccer team! He did great and loved it! I can't wait for more team sports and more soccer games. He only plays once a week, which is perfect! once he is older I imagine that he may like to play hockey or a year round soccer team. I am sure he will find something that he will like soon enough and become obsessed with it!

Kendall is also off today to write his test for his mechanics license. Fingers crossed this is the last time. They are the worst test to write all multiple choice and most of the questions have sneaky answers. The answers are usually all correct but the testers want the selection made to the answer that is MOST correct!

The kids and I are off tomorrow to help Tessa Campbell celebrate her 4th birthday! Landon 4th birthday is just over a month away! I still can't get over how fast Landon has grown, especially this past year! I always strive to enjoy the time I have with them when they are young before I know it I won't be able to spend so much time with them. They will be starting to create they own lives.

I hope that where ever you are you are enjoying life and not stressing over the stuff that won't matter in the future. A lot of energy in our world is wasted by stressing over stuff that always seems to work out.

Cheers*
