Mid-July photo memories

I love to snap photos at most events....because face it they do help me remember!! It's been a beautiful summer month...lots of sunshine, warm temps, and finally today I can even say beach time!!!
Canada Day was, I will confess, very quiet for us. It was good to see that some of the family were celebrating....even in the USA

 

 

 

Bill and I landed in jail while on an ice cream outing with the Hartlings

Got some great photos from my fab five at the Musical Ride...lucky kids!!!!

 

Love this photo

and these fabulous five

 

Emmy getting a geology lesson from poppy...she loves rocks and says that she might be a geologist when she's bigger, or if not a cowgirl!!

 

These two connect with me every day and I love the photos that come with the texts. Here they are in Utah.

 
We got some new babies too...sisters and childhood neighbors, Dina and Paola tried to deliver on the same day...Paola ( seen here) had Giulia on July 4th. Dina delivered Jack on July5th ( I haven't met him yet) Congrats to you both.

More July to come....

Still catching up

As frustrated as it can be to keep this blog up to date....I will keep trying.
I just returned from a great visit with the Nelsons in Saskatchewan. I flew to Calgary first, on May 28th and headed then to Sask. driving with Laura, Sophia and niece Liz. It was so great to see them again. Once in Sask. we also met up with Charlotte Nelson who had joined us for some special Nelson days.

 May 30th was Georgia's 8th birthday and also her Baptism day. The service was held in the branch building, then we headed to a private pool for the baptism. It was a wonderful event. 
Laura and I ( and Co) had checked into a hotel for the first couple of days, so later in the day we surprised Georgia with a pool birthday party with family and a few of her friends.

 

This was also a special time for Jessica, as she was leaving Junior High school for High school and it was fun to celebrate her too. High school starts in ninth grade in Sask.

The school hosted a lovely dinner, and graduation program for these students and there families. We also surprised Jessica with a grad breakfast. ( a bit of a challenge in the midst of home renovations)

 

Opps I skipped over that we attended a great band concert with both Jacob and Jessica performing, and also some fun soccer with Sarah. This is one very busy family....sure do love them!!!

There was also campfires, school field days, giraffe making, library visits, Regina roadtrip, card making and lots more. I took a few photos....and here are some of them
