We had a great 4th. I love the 4th!! Friday night we had some people over for dessert to celebrate Canada day which is the 1st, that was a lot of fun and the weather ended up being nice so all the kids could play outside, which was extra nice. We had a good time visiting and hanging out. on Saturday we went out to Flowers cabin outside of Elgin for a BBQ and 4 wheeling, we had a ton of fun. The weather was perfect and of course the kids loved the 4 wheelers, I think they are addicted! We spent the whole day up there, came home, bathed and went to bed. It's too bad the city decided to do everything on Sunday here instead of Saturday, but we did get to see the fireworks with the Olson's at our favorite spot. Yesterday Chas had the day off, which was so nice, we had a nice day of just us, cleaned the car (that was quite the job!!!) and then went to some friends for dinner. The kids first soccer games were yesterday, they did really well and it is a lot of fun. I am coaching Brady's team and Chas is helping with Brooklyn's team, it's so fun to watch them.
I've started doing some school work with the kids everyday, they need some structured things to do and it's good for them to be learning, obviously! They both love it and always ask if they can do more. It's nice to have something to keep them busy for a small part of the day.

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!
First day of School!
My Pride and Joy!
Next to my kids this is my pride and joy, I love working in the garden! Chas likes it too, he doesn't have to weed! Actually he always takes care of the kids while I spend time there. It's so nice!
Funny Story 1
Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day.
Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized."
Me: "Why not?"
Brook: "It's too scary."
And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem?
Me: "Whats scary about it?"
Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized."
I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?"
Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar.
So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!
What a handsome boy!
Achoo!
Emree right before a sneeze~
Something"s funny!
