Guilty, guilty, guilty of not blogging stuff that should have been blog-worthy! So here’s a brief recap in a few seconds:

1. Joshua James turned 7!!!! We headed up to Calgary and hit the Calgary Zoo for his birthday. Nicole/Bjorn and family came along for the day. It was blistering hot, the animals were awesome (so was the slurpee/soft serve ice cream concoction). On the way out of town we stopped by to see Conor and Katie (and bask in the air conditioning at Mom and Dad’s house). Katie made us dinner and fed us all cookies - yum!!! It was a fantastic day and we loved being with our kids.

2a. Canada Day we woke fairly early and headed out to the Raymond Parade. The small town puts on quite the show, and we will definitely be back next year. In fact, I have heard whisperings of my husband wanting to BE IN the parade next year. Maybe his Mom can make him a costume!! :) The kids loved the miniature horses, motorcycles and all the tons of candy they throw out into the crowd.

2b. Canada Day Con’t - Nathan’s parents took our family to see Wall-E! Oh my gosh the boys were so in love with that movie. It was adorable. We braved the torential downpour and somehow made it to the theater without a canoe.

3. Did I mention that the kids are out of school? I was in attendance at a million farewell bbq’s, picinics and presentations. Joshua was a rockstar at Sports Day and showed off his coordination and energetic nature to all in the vicinity. He was precious!

4. It’s the afternoon…I have a migraine…and I’m still in my pjs. Gotta split but at least you’re caught up on what our family has been up to. I’ll be a better blogger soon. Promise!
