Happy Family Happenings

 

 

The Temple was so beautiful as we came out after working last week, dad just couldn't resist this shot!

We truly love the Temple!!

It has become such a refuge and 'home away from home' for us this past year and a half as we have served in the Temple Presidency.

So many blessings have come and continue to be poured out upon us as we serve there!

Brooke's last day of school field trip we went on together. It was so interesting to learn about Ft. Edmonton.

We didn't get to all the historical stuff we should have with our group, but we had alot of fun!

 

Brooke' Last day of school!!

She has officially finished Grade 2!,

 

 

 

Ava worked hard at ballet all year, this is her year end ballet recital.

What a darling butterfly!!

She is sure growing up and just finished Grade 1.

 

 

 

 

 

Joshie looks so excited to have finished his 'Pre-Kindergarten' year. He has worked so hard this year in school.

What a handsome little guy!!


 

 

The cabin is coming along.

We had to wait an extra week to get the stone put up on the outside because of the rain.

The stone was finally finished using this monster 'lift' to get the workers up to the top of the chimney! I love it, it's starting to look finished!!

After not having the dock in at all last year because we were building the cabin, it was finally time to get the dock in.

So...James, Mark and dad went to it!!

 

It wasn't too bad of a day for putting in the dock and having some fun!

 

 

Uncle Mark playing around while dad is working!

 

 

Ivy even pitched in to help clean up the beach, raking and washing the rocks.

A few days later after everything was in and cleaned up it was time to get in the water!

Brooke in the canoe with Grandpa getting her first canoe ride of the summer.

Lots more fun coming this summer as we finish the cabin and get to spend time together making some fun memories!

 

Some great news for Mark! He is now a manager for Enterprise and has moved down to Red Deer.

He has a cute apartment there, which he has fully decorated, after pulling a lot of his stuff out of storage.

The store he manages in Red Deer rents cars and trucks, which is an uncommon thing.

He is sure excited to be running his own store after working towards it for eighteen months!!
