 Canada Day!

 Matthew was a loyal spectator this summer at swimming lessons.

 He learned the hard way that sand is not for snacking on.

 Ella got to attend a bridal shower that Gramma had for Jon's cousin. She was such a little lady.

 We had Ella's birthday party! Gramma made cupcake flowers.

 Matthew had a sink bath...the party isn't over until a baby is in the sink bath!

 Ella trying out her new "tu-tu table" and tea set she got as gifts.

 The kids had lots of fun playing at the pond and watching the transformation over the spring and summer as well as the tadpole to frog metamorphosis.

 Our garden is growing! It didn't take long at all!

 The kids made garden pets as a fundraiser for the humane society.

 We joined Gramma for her birthday.

June 2016

 "Can someone help Matthew up the slide?" Not what I expected but one of my favourite photos!

 Ben got his seatbelt wrapped around his neck and was pretty scared! Jon had to take the entire seatbelt bolt out to untangle him. I had seatbelt cutters ready!

 After breaking my foot in May and having to postpone our weekend away... we finally got to visit Niagara Falls in June. It was a beautiful day and everyone had lots of fun.

 We celebrated Fathers day with our Dads!

 A comparison of Ben and his first friend then and now. They are so sweet! (age 2 and age 9)

 We went to a strawberry festival and picked strawberry's.

 

 Matthew got his first taste of splash pads

 The kids were surprised to visit Great Wolf Lodge for the first time. They loved it of course!

 This little cupcake turned 4! We went out for dinner to celebrate her birthday.
