Fun times with Jenn Ras visiting our place before bootcamp.

Canada!

Yeah we are finally in Canada!  A 14 hour car ride, a couple of stops to refill bottles and change diapers, a playground stop in Lethbridge a slight detour later we arrive!  El was beyond tired!  He was almost delusional.  I guess thats what happens when you are up for almost 24 hours straight.  But he was a trooper.  However the real troopers and heroes of the trip were the kids!  They did so well!  Well beyond our greatest hopes.  Natalie was bored our of her mind, but she didn't put up a fight and slept probably 70% of the way.  The boys were the same.  So proud of the little pea's and so happy they were so wonderful!


The big panda bear Grandma got for the bedroom.  Natalie LOVES it!

out at dairy queen for ice-cream  the first night we were there. 

Els banana split

Natalie very happy with her ice-cream cone

Yeah smiling Natalie

On our way to Canada for the summer

Natalie and her brothers all packed in the car with their binkis, and Blankies, and dollies and toys all set for what is hopefully a good drive to Canada.  Hoping the kids with sleep a good chunk of the way since we are leaving at night.  Can't wait!   Miss my home!

The big day! Kaydens BBQ!

Getting ready for the big BBQ for Kaydens graduation celebration

This was a fun bbq/party to get ready for.  It was a big day!  Kayden graduated the week before, which I already posted pictures of and that was really fun!  We are just so proud of him!  Can't believe how fast time goes though!  It really needs to slow down!  But back the the bbq.....We went over to moms house on Friday and helped daddy prep the bbq and Natalie played with the boys and the twins and Marley and I helped Aunty Tash with the potato salad along with the help from the twins.  Also can't believe how big they are getting!  But it was a really fun night!  I was a bit stressed cause I was trying to get everything ready for the bbq and pack cause we were leaving for Canada the next day after the BBQ, for two months.  Had to make sure that I didn't forget anything big and had to try and cram all our stuff in the smallest and few bags so everything would fit into our Altima.  But here are the pictures from the Friday night prep night...


The prepping of the potato salad

Marley playing with the boys

The almost finished potato salad

Laddy fell asleep on the couch that night...he was having a hard time sleeping because he was teething. 

So El couldn't figure out where the sound was coming from....well it turns out it was coming from fat boy....AKA Laddy baby! lol

Fun walk to temple square the day before Kaydens BBQ
