Summer Action

Several months ago we made the decision to tear down our little cabin at Wizard Lake.

 

 

 

It was a difficult decision, but we really want a newer, bigger place for our kids and grandkids to enjoy over the next 30-40 years!

 

 

We have had such great times at the cabin!!

It served us well for 14 years!

 

 

 

But it was time to make a change.

I cried as I watched her coming down!

 

 

It was so sad to watch all the work we had put into this little cabin being destroyed so quickly right before our eyes!

 

 

 

This is the driver of the trach hoe that was doing the demolition.

His name was Doug and he did such a great job!

So I made both Doug's pose for me in the debris of the cabin.

Now, nothing but a big, flat open field. However, it won't be for long.

We are excited to start the new cabin next week!

It will keep Doug busy, he is sub contracting the whole thing himself.

 

Ava, Joshie and Elena enjoying some time together in their playhouse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tiff, Elena and Joshie taking a break from exploring the Rockies.

 

 

 

 

Such beautiful kids and country!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elena is 6 months old already, what a sweet little girl!

Is this her first trip to the zoo??

 

 

Cam with Brook and Mckinley at the Telus World of Science.

What cool dinosaurs!!

 

 

Looks like that tyrannosaurus is looking for a meal.

 

D, Colby and Brynn just chilling out under the dinosaur, and hoping he's not hungry!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brooke, Mckinley and Brynn chiselling away for dinosaurs.

Wow...the intensity on their faces...how exciting!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Colby made a new best friend at the fish aquarium.

 

Looks like the fish had a lot to say to Colby, he is a good listener!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mark went to Phoenix for a few days last week and enjoyed a short holiday there. The car is a perk from his job!

 

 

He went to the Comicon Convention while in Phoenix and had some fun encounters...this seemed to be his favorite, Chewbaccca.

 

Ivy was an attentive listener in her dad's Primary class on Sunday.

She loves all the cute kids in his class...and they love her!

 

 

Ivy just hanging out and looking cool in her dad's aviator's saying...

"Hey, what's you looking at?"

 

What does a teething baby look like...a sweet 'little monster!'

Come on Ivy, get those molars already!!

Family Fun

.

 

Well...Brooklyn turned seven on May 5th.

Wow...she is growing up so quickly!

She looks pretty happy with her toys...Uncle Mark is the 'balloon man' and came through again!

 

 

 

 

We celebrated with dinner and a party for Family Home Evening. Deana made Brooke a 'Rainbow Dash' birthday cake. It was very beautiful and yummy!

Brookie was so excited...she got two new 'Beanie Boo's' to add to her collection.

 

 

Everyone was celebrating...even Brynnlee who is always in motion,,

 

 

 

 

 

And cute Colby, as mellow and happy as always, even when it was time to go home.

 

 

 

 

Joshie didn't make it up for the party because he was at the farm with Grandma and Grandpa Jensen.

He got himself all packed up and ready to go...how fun for him!

 

 

 

 

Ava and Elena stayed home with mom and dad in Airdrie, and had some fun reading time together.

 

 

 

 

 

Wow, Elena is getting so big...almost as big as Chewbacca!!

It looks like he is trying to protect her...so cute!

 

 

 

 

Ava has been taking ballet this year.

It looks like she is enjoying it and does great pirouettes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joshie looks pretty big as he helps out at the farm.

WOW...what giant machines!!

I think Joshie might grow up to be the 'President' of John Deer Tractors! He loves them!

 

 

Ava, Joshie and Elena having some fun and a great picture at Drumheller Museum last week.

Elena is sure feeling the love!!

 

 

 

 

Park time and swings for Colby.

Oh my goodness, that smile could melt any heart...watch out girls!!

 

 

 

"Giddy up horsie!"

Brynnlee looks like she is going to ride that thing right of it's rockers!!

I love her hair blowing in the wind.

 

Oh, Mckinley is having so much fun!

I love that smile, she's just ready to give everyone a hug!

 

 

"Please push me higher!"

Brookie loves an adventure and will go as high as she can...happy birthday dear girl!

 

 

 

Ivy is getting bigger each day, and getting ready to walk.

 

 

 

She got into a bit of trouble this week, but who can get mad at a face like that?!

 

 

 

 

Ivy loves to eat, and is always willing to share...any takers??

 

 

 

 

 

Lindsay and James celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary in Canmore last weekend.

What a cute couple, we are happy for you.

Congratulations!!
