We Got the Goods...

We got the goods-
We are proud new owners of an SLR camera- a Canon Rebel XS
So you can all expect better pictures- once I figure everything out.
It is just the basic of the SLRs but we got a really good deal on it that we couldn't pass up. There is now a whole new joy in picture taking... And it is only going to get better!!!


And even Ruby feels the joy!

THE DAY HER BFF WENT IN THE FREEZER

Recently we were holidaying with my family in Radium and had a great time.
We went to the park, the pool, the beach, watched movies, played games, went for hikes and did whatever we could to keep everyone occupied for the 7 days we were all together.
There was one thing that we were lacking- Toys
We just didn't have the room- we were all packed to the hilt...
So we had to improvise- and we did- with Freezie Friends.
Mega supersized freezies- unfrozen mega supersized freezies- and the kids loved them- they all got into carrying around their freezie friends.
And the proof:


So after Radium we took a 12 hour drive to oregon to spend time with Justins family at another resort. If it wasn't for Little Mermaid and our pink freezie friend we wouldn't have made it through....
Until the plastic had taken all that it could- and leaks started sprouting. We tried duct taping it but the pressure was too much for our little freezie friend and it was time to change it from liquid to solid...
It was quite a sad day- and still Ruby asks for her freezie friend and everytime we mention it or open the freezer she cries for her freezie friend.
It was her BFF you know (Best Freezie Friend).
We are working on a replacement.....

The Foremost in Fun

First of all I am finally starting to feel like a real person- though I am not totally there- but it's coming...

So because of my recent humanness- We were able to have a Super Awesome week in foremost! It was alot of fun!

We had July first festivities with my parents ward at Centennial Park in Bow Island- It included food, family, fun and the sun- what could be better then that?

We had campfires- which of course included smores and hot dogs and fun!

Ruby loves it at grammie and papas house because she can be outside ALL day- and she definitely took advantage of that! We were outside from the moment after she woke up and ate breakfast until it was bed time.

She loved playing with her cousins- and if I was feeling better I would have more photos-

A common phrase in our house now is 'Where LILY go?' (one of rube's older cousins)

We were able to take advantage of the great weather and go to 40-mile (a lake and beach near Foremost) It was so nice to be out in the sun and enjoy family---- oh and FRIENDS- we met our long lost neighbors Clark and Jayne there- just out of the blue! It was quite the surprise- so Ruby and Ainsley were able to be reunited after this long few months....

And Ruby had her first pony ride ever!!!!

Hopefully since i am feeling a little more like a real person I will post more- I have got some definite summer adventures coming up- Hello Radium and then Oregon!!!
