More Pictures from the camping and birthday extravaganzas

Well, well, well. I have no spare time any more. Work has tapped the hour here and the hour there when I could accomplish things. Drastic adjustments need to be made. The kids are happy and busy, CeeCee's bday party has passed and she is three finally. The pictures are her at her two parties, one out with her freinds and one at athe wading pool park with family and freinds.The camping pictures are of the trip mentioned previously. It was fun in retrospect, sickness and injuries forgotten except Lisa is still on crutches. We will have to get more out of summer soon as the nught s are cool already. I think we are having a great time. Billl and Paula are here, and Pam and Brian McDowell have been for a five day visit. That was a lot of fun for everyone here. Make your ski vacation plans now, we will have lots of room available.

Maddie had another swim meet, this one in Revelstoke. Summer finally got hot here last week and it has been around 30 every day. Last monday our neighbours took us for a special day in the country.

Today we were out for the Little Spankies Race at our Mountain Biking/Nordic Center. All three went in the race and they all did really well Between the last post and this, Madeleine had her first swim meet, finished grade one, gone on a sleepover, had two nights of camping and summer vacation has only just begun. MadB got to go fishing in a canoe while we were camping too. I believe she actually caught a fish. Three girls were out with another dad and I am pretty sure they each caught one. We also had a great Canada Day with a parade past the house and the big party right across the street. Lots of non stop action it seems.

my parents had a quick visit. The Kids were happy and really enjoyed the company and the stories. Plus some old toys were brought that have been keeping them occupied for a long time. New quilts too, I'll get some photos of those up soon.

Been busy with work and family MadBee,s birthday passed, my parents visited and lots of fun happened. Lots of agony too though, these kids sure don't operate perfectly all the time. Josie also went to Canadian Nationals for masters Swimming and is now a Canadian Champion in sometning, I think 200 Breast.

Will had a street hockey party for his 5th birthday. We all had fun and the weather was nice. It went over well, with everyone putting in at least an hour and a half of hockey.
