The Latest

I had started this post weeks ago, and never finished. The post never became "the latest" as I had planned, will try to do that shortly!

Trying to catch some fish on our first camping excrusion in mid June. No luck with the fish!

Father's Day 2008

I know you all think that your husband is the best father to your children, but seriously, I think I have the best husband/father around!! I really appreciate his willingness to teach our children to the very best of his ability. I know he's doing a great job because of their level of respect and love for him.
Dad doesn't make it on the blog very often, so had to take the chance when I have one! I'm thankful for the dad I have!

End of an Era

Another phase of life has ended and another begins! Jeziah graduated from Nursery School on June 12th. He is SO excited about starting Kindergarten, and I must admit, I'm almost as excited! I do look forward to this new "phase" in life!

Nursery School ended with a pool party. Last year Jeziah was hanging on to his teacher for dear life in the pool. He did not enjoy it at all. It's amazing how one year can make such a difference. This year he was having a blast in the pool, and made really good use of the waterslide. He's a lot braver than his mom!
Raquel & Dexter share in Jeziah's excitement!
Way to go Jeziah!! We are so proud of you!

Cate

Isn't she a cutie?! We think so!
Cate came to hang out with Raquel & Jeziah one Saturday afternoon while her mom planted a garden. This gives also gives Raquel a chance to practice her babysitting capabilities!

In the Merry Month of May

Another month has come and gone, and it's been a busy month! Raquel & Jeziah started swimming lessons at the end of April. Dexter started league soccer in May. All the kids are having a great time with their extra activities, but Mom & Dad are getting old, which means they're getting tired! We have another month to go, which we know will fly by, hopefully our summer doesn't fly by that fast. Other May happenings:
Garage Sales in Winnipeg
Mother's Day celebrations with both sides of the families & at nursery school
Garden & Flower Planting
Hosting People & Going Out
Visiting Uncle Rudy & Aunt Verna
Girls day out for myself and two special friends
Kidney Stone blast for myself
4 day trip to Edmonton for Henry & myself
and I'm sure I've missed something, but this would be our life in a nutshell. Sometimes it feels like so much to do, and so little time, and sometimes it's amazing what one can all accomplish in the midst of the busyness. We are all very excited to be going camping real soon. Here are a few pictures of the May highlights:

I am proud to be the mother of these 3 beautiful children! I remember being taller than my mother at a young age, and Raquel is only about an inch away from being as tall as me! Yikes! (Here she is wearing flats & I'm wearing heels, thus the difference)

I'm assuming my mother is proud of her two children!!

Jeziah has learned how to ride his bike without training wheels. We have just been too lazy to take off his training wheels sooner, but he has had no problems. We took off his training wheels, and he was gone. Now he's riding his bike all over the place. It wil be fun trail riding this year at the campground, no training wheels to get him stuck!
