Summer Stuff and Back to School Again!

It's been so long since I've posted anything on my blog. I've had a camera full of photos and I keep putting it off, until now. I'm just going to throw them all at ya.
Our summer seemed to go by so quickly. We did the Stampede thing here in Calgary and then we headed out to some friends cabin on the Shuswap Lake in B.C. The weather was amazing. Then we went out to our cabin for the August long weekend. Craig and Angie and the boys made their annual trip out. And Susie, Rick, Steph and Sarah came out too. Charlie turned 6 while at the cabin and lost his first tooth! My baby is growing up, I can't believe it.
Now it's back to School already. A whirl wind, yes, but it was a great summer.
The photos are all out of order, but here we go.
For some reason, my layout is crazy. Sorry. I hope you can all follow.



Charlie on his first day of Grade One! Ash got a new back-pack too and wanted to wear it to Charlie's school. She was ticked that she wasn't starting school the same day as Charlie.



My little Picasso! Ashley loves to write on EVERYTHING! The night before this photo was taken she couldn't sleep, so she decided to color her room. The wall here wasn't the only thing that got abused. She wrote on her pillow, her side table, her dresser, her radio and her piggy bank. By the way, that's a picture of me that she drew.






Craig and "Dogmo".




I love this one of Colton and Hunter.






Craig got into the face paint.








Charlie's pinata.








































The TOOTH!






























Just before the tooth fell out. It's barely hangin there.















Peter and Dan at Shuswap.

































Charlie's little buddy, Lizard.















I love to see and hear this little boy laugh.


















Ash, "the nudie" in the tree house. The girl loves to take her clothes off.



















































"SMORES"








































Ashley has a problem with waiting her turn. Here the other kids got fed up and ended up not letting her play on the slide.









Here she is playing it up.





































I told her here if she didn't start smiling then she was going to have to have a time out.









A split second later.......


















We found this great little beach, were the kids could play. The weather was hot and the water was cool. It was a great day.

I remember when Quinn used to write all over the walls, oh ya Carson to! he used to label things... Don't you find that the first day of school is WAY more scary for the parent then the kid? it is for me at least, it was beautiful out in BC this year!
