Fun in January

On January 2nd we went out to the hills to do some tobogganing. The kids had a blast! It brought back many fond childhood memories. We spent many a Sunday at Sprucewoods skating and tobogganing when we were growing up. The only difference between then and now is that our kids had a Grandpa on a ski-doo to bring them back to the top of the hill!! We didn't! Ha ha.

Moments like these...

A New Addition

I say this is a new addition but he really is almost a month old already!!!!!! Crazy how time flies. Our new nephew arrived on September 22nd (I think) weighing 9 lbs! Deklin Colt Friesen is his name! Tanner says, "Mom, I'm sure Whitley was never this small!" Ha ha!!

Here fishie, fishie

 We had planned on camping here all weekend long..but a sick baby and the weather kept us at home. We decided that we would still head up there on Sunday to fish and relax around a bonfire. It was raining when we got there but turned out to be a beautiful day!! No one caught any fish but it was still lots of fun. This was our kids first time fishing. This at some pasture we own, it's a nice little spot.

We ate way too much food, did a lot of relaxing and had a good visit with family and friends. Can't wait to camp here in the near future!

Have a great holiday Monday!

Barley Harvest

 Our neighbor helping us bale the straw.

 Chugging away, two days ago we had a half an inch of rain and were able to get back at it last night.

 The sunset was so beautiful last night!

 Full to the brim and ready to dump.

 Our son is obsessed, got in an hour or so before bedtime.

 Getting ready to ride home in the grain truck with Grandpa.

Happy HOT Friday!!!!! Heat warning again today!

Seven Years

Can't believe seven years has gone by! We have done so much with each other at our sides and I can't wait to see what the next 60 years bring! ;) Haying was caught up and we're not quite combining just yet so we managed to sneak out for supper. And with only one child. It was nice and quiet.

Our annual Zoo trip.

 Last week we made our annual trip to the Zoo. It was even better than last year. I think it's worth every penny.

 The polar bears were so awesome!

 Second time for Whit at the Zoo...first time was in my tummy :)

 All the Grandkids.

This picture makes me giggle. There was a comment about 'fuzzy nuts' made, something about a whole new meaning LOL. I love my sense of humor.

It was a great trip!

Easter, my baby girl is 3 months and finally a weiner roast!

 She would not quit staring at Grandpa to look at Mommy for the picture.

 She is very smiley but I can rarely get a picture on camera of her smiling!

 Just out of the tub!

 Easter egg hunt.

 The end result!

 Dying Easter eggs.

 A precious moment with Great Grandma.

 Our kids with Great Grandma!

 Our kids dressed up for Easter.

 Thanks Auntie Barb for the beautiful dress.

 I made a point of getting a picture of me and my kiddos, I'm never in pictures so I'm glad I did this.

 Cousins = Best Buds.

 Whit with Auntie Cheryl.

 Taking Whitley's 3 month picture, can't believe how big she's getting.

 Three months old!!!

 Finally had a weiner roast the other night, it was terribly windy as per usual lately, but oh so delicious. Smores were also involved !!

 I love love love this picture. This is a classic picture of Grandpa with his grandkids! He's started using the wagon lately, there's just too many to all fit on the quad, and they aren't even all in this picture!
 Missing Whitley, Hannah and Brooklyn.

Ali and Abigail, cousins who haven't seen eachother in months! They hit it off right away! So cute!

Have a great day!!!!
