NO FEAR!

Abbey has No Fear! She is up for anything...whether it be a roller-coaster, Steve throwing

her up in the air into the pool, or this...SO FUN!

Fall Traditions...

No Thanksgiving would be complete without a trip to Evan's Family Corn Maze!

Abbey and I a little lost in the corn! So much for following the six year old! ha!ha!

Success! We got all the stamps!!! Yay!

Fall In The Valley

There's nothing better than Fall in the Valley! So much to do for our little outdoorsy family!

Here we are at Dempsey's Corner Orchard! Such a fun place!

Here we are picking HoneyCrisp apples...our favourite!

Steve and the kiddies!

Great day on the farm! We picked apples, plums, blueberries, and peaches! Yum!

Summer 2011

Blogging is one of those things that if you don't keep up with it...too much time passes and you feel bogged down by things you want to blog about but haven't and don't know how to skip it! I haven't blogged in a while. I do love blogging and I love the idea that my children will have records of the things we did as a family but sometimes there's just no time. We were away ALL summer! Which was fantastic! Busy but FANTASTIC!

Steve and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary July 20th. TEN YEARS!!! Where did the time go?! We spoiled ourselves with an adults only trip to a Sandals resort in St. Lucia! It was amazing!

After our blissful trip we spent awesome time with family and friends in Ontario. Abbey and Michael got to meet their new little cousin Wyatt which was very exciting and they always love hanging out with Henry! We did Canada's Wonderland, waterparks, Clip and Climb and lots of fun day trips around Ottawa. We are so lucky to have such wonderful family who take such good care of us!

In August we went on a "bonus" trip to Vegas with our neighbours Scott and Judy. We had a blast...as you know...I do LOVE Vegas!!! :-) Third time didn't disappoint!

Then it was back to reality and work and routines! Super fun relaxing summer!

Now...that's done! Let's move on to more recent stuff...

Chalk Art!

We love using chalk on the driveway! We have a blast tracing each other and writing messages!

Here's Abbey's replica!

And Michael's!

Hockey IP2

A few pictures of Michael's hockey tournament. #5 for the team but #1 in our hearts!

Here's Michael is skating his little heart out and with everyone close on his tail.

I love that they make the players shake hands after a game. Great sportsmanship is important!
