July (the first half)

We start every July off with Canada Day!
The boys got to be in the parade this year with Aunty Phoenix. Sean and Max both really enjoyed it. After the Parade we had the annual Fyfe BBQ at Gerald and Cindy's. Gerald made brisket this year. OH my goodness so good! I ate way to much! But it was so worth it! haha We hung around and visited a long time. The boys had lots of time to play with their cousins. Then in the late afternoon we ran up to the fairgrounds where they had bouncy castles and fun games for the kids. It was a long hot day and we wore the boys right out.

the "twins"

He was passed out for a good 3-4 hours. Even slept through the nasty poop he has ever had!

The boys sure enjoyed canada day this year! Each year gets more and more exciting because of them and how much older they are getting and the things they understand!

July 7-9 Parker Family Payne Lake Camping

This year we finally made it to my families annual camping trip at Payne lake. It was our first time making it in the 6 years they have started it. haha Go us! We don't typically go because it always falls on our anniversary. This year though we decided to just go for it. And then Greg would stop whinning at us that we never come. OKay, it was because we wouldn't make it to the family reunion the next weekend.:)

It was a fun time. The boys loved the freedom of running and playing with so many cousins! Many games were played and lots of laughter! Something funny Sean said this weekend. He was talking to my cousin Teresa and was jabbering away and then said, " My dad's is small. But mine gets big sometimes" She asked him what he was talking about and he said, Penises. BAH! this kid. the things he says. 

It was a fun weekend. And it ended Sunday Morning when Sean woke up puking and then Dan followed shortly after. Good stuff. 

Summer Catch Up!

I can't believe we are halfway through August! Where has this Summer gone? We have done so much and been so busy I have neglected posting on all that we are doing. So hopefully I can get caught up! Stay tuned it might be a few posts!

What happened first?
Let's start with June since I ended last after Sean's B-day.

May 27- Willowcreek Wilderness Run
This is the race I got my mom to sign up for with me! haha It was so fun! Greg was sad he didn't sign up with us! It was such a hot day though for a Race. I'm pretty sure we didn't start until 9:00. So it was very warm! The race started and I was the first female for the good first half of the race. and then... my shoe came untied. Talk about bad timing. As I stopped to tie it two woman passed me and I wasn't able to get into my running grove fast enough to catch up with them. GRRR.....

But I still finished in 28:00mins and was the 3rd female and 6th place overall. Fantastic if you ask me. haha Next year....

June 10- Ladie's Fest!

I ran in the 8km Ladies Fest Run here in Lethbridge! I convinced Phoenix to run with me. We ran the whole race together and I even found one of my running buddies in the race and was able to stay near here in the run and run Whoop up with her. It sounds weird but that was a really good part of the race. I was in such a groove and was able to keep my momentum up the hill by walking one light post and sprinting one light post. It was great. Towards the top of Whoop up is where I lost Phoenix and my friend though. I don't know what happened to them.. lol. Once you get to the top though its just less than 1km to the finishe line and man did I just start picking up speed! I was so glad to have made it! Such a runners High! I finished in 45:52 which is AMAZING! I wanted to finished between 45/50 mins. And I Crushed it! :) 118/696 overall placing and in my category I was 21/94.

and my cousin Janae Ran too!!!! :) WAHOO

Fathers Day weekend we went camping to Kimball River with my Parents and Dan's Parents. Amie and Micheal showed up at one point. Tanner and Erica also spent the weekend camping with us! They came up all the way from Utah for that!  It was a fun time. A little chilly and the river was high and fast so the boys were disappointed in not being able to swim but they still through rocks to their hearts content and played at the playground!

The Fathers playing a Fathers Day game of bocci ball! After we saved the white ball from Amie's crazy throw straight down a gopher hole. How on earth!

June also had the last of Sean's Soccer days for the year. Our First trip to Wally's and many other Fun times! Take a look
