Summer Time!

It went by FAST... but I'm sure that just means we were having a great time.  Here are a few fun pictures to remember it by.


 One of the fun afternoon/evening spent out in DeWinton playing with the boys and all their new motorized toys...

 Meeting more of our big family!
 Chilling with dad...

More camping!

Another fun weekend spent in Cochrane with our buddy Lochlan...


 Taking the big step and starting on solid food.  This was our first crack at it.  This dinner went well, but we can't say it wasn't an entirely painless process.

 Sometimes we were better at getting it all over our face than actually eating the food!

Another camping trip out to Eau Claire for the 100 mile relay.

 Jillene making another trip out to Ontario with Declan for Marilyn's birthday.
 Fun in the pool with Grandpa.


 And then back home to enjoy a little sun with Dad in teh yard on one of the few weekends we didn't head out of town.
 Playtime with our buddy Arden...
 Love this pic!  I don't think either little guy is terribly impressed with the other.
 A visit from Shawna (moms friend) from Ontario.  Declan had a great time with Shawna, she's really good at getting us to smile and laugh...
 And finally our one and only trip out to Mable...  We combined to things that Declan loves.  Getting tossed in the air and swimming!  :)






 More camping out to Burnt Timber...

We finally fit in a camping trip with our buddy Lochland.  Declan was static at this stage, but Lochlan was flying.  Makes it tough to play together, but they figured it out.  Only a matter of time...

 I'm going to be a kayaker just like mom and dad! 
 Working out the new chainsaw...

 Playing in the rapids we were camping right beside...




 Finally ANOTHER trip out to Ontario.  This time dad got to go as well.

 First quad ride... obviously it wasn't too exciting!


April & May

We arrived home from Costa Rica and I immeadiately hit th ground running.  Was back the grind getting ready for a busy season, while Jillene headed for Ontario to show off Declan so everyone out could see how much he'd grown.  Grandma giving hime I'm sure what was a daily bath in the Kitchen sink.

 Spending quality time with Grandpa and our silly cousin Sam.

 But it was just a short visit, and before I knew it he was home and making me laugh with his funny expression that were starting to appear...

We wasted no time at all either... camping season was upon us, and we headed out first chance we had.  This was Declans first camping trip.


 Mom snapping a couple good ones on the change table when she realized his shirt matched the paint on the wall in his room.  The days before he was mobile and we actually had a chance of getting a picture like this!

 Visit with GG.  Not sure if GG is making Declan look big, or if Declan is making GG look small!

 Trip out to Cochrane to see our buddy Lochlan!
 A couple months of firsts... our first go-kart ride!

Time for another camping trip... May long out in Fernie.




 Hanging out at the fire with Grandma & Grandpa.
