grade 2 & kindergarten

Kael was so excited, Emma too

I was downloading pictures from our camera and when it said now loading 100+ pictures I was surprised... I didn't think I had taken that many lately. I hadn't... Emma had of herself, the cat, Cora, her toys ect. So here are a few of the best... not to bad... for a 6 year old...:)



Smithers Fall Fair-- And At the Lake in September ?

I've been a bit slow with posting lately.... So here are a few things we've been doing the past month... The last weekend in August we headed to Smithers for the Fall Fair.

the boys check'n out the pigs

Cora was good just sitting the stroller all day

the kids loved the rides and Max was glad that he was big enough to go on some rides.

Emma even went on a Big ride with Kaelen

snow cones Mmmm

tractors ! the boys want a picture with all of them

Emma's fall fair purchase

We also went out to the lake for the first time this Summer (probably the last) the kids loved it... 

Other things we've done but not pictured... bike ridding ... lawn camping... running in the hay field... harvesting our garden ... just enjoying the last few warm days of Summer !

Despicable Three

Maxwell's 3rd birthday was despicable.... I was just a small family party but the cake was a big hit! 

The Cake

 Max's favorite movie is Despicable Me .... but he can't say Despicable so he calls it ME! So when I saw this cake on Pinterest ... I just had to make it for him... he was impressed ... until he opened his gifts and found out he got a tractor that moved and made lots of noise... :)

The Birthday Boy

DIY spare chairs

So a few months back I found these chairs at the thrift store for 2 bucks each... We where in need of a few spare chairs for the dinning room...It was impossible to find ones that were the same as the ones we already had ... So, I decided to go complete opposite of what we already had ... little bit of sanding and paint .... here you go before and after...Let me know what ya think ???

Barkerville

 It was Canada Day and so Kaelen had the day off from work so we headed about three an a half hours southeast to the old gold rush town of Barkerville . It was alot of fun to explore a place we had yet to visit.

Welcome to Barkerville, BC
