Summer Fun

By -
Well...it's been a really odd summer! The weather this summer has kinda stunk unfortunately. Normally I wouldn't mind it not being so hot, but because we have a pool....having colder weather is kind of a let down. But, we make the best of what we've got!

Richard and I were on holidays at the beginning of this month, which was REALLY nice! We didn't do a whole lot. Because of money, we wen't camping...in our backyard! It sounds super dorky I KNOW, but it was actually A LOT of FUN! Here's our Lovely Tent!

We had a lot of fun on Aug. 4, going to Calaway park with the entire family!! Calaway Park is
an amusement park in outside of Calgary. It has more rides for children, but it was still a lot of fun! It was a really nice day out!

I was actually REALLY impressed with all of the little kids, because they went on rides NON-STOP ALL DAY!

Mellis with HayleyAdam, Mir and Richard.Easton and Jacks are in the front...the rest of the kids are in the back.

It was a really GREAT day!!

We've been able to swim a bit too in our pool, which as been really nice. It's really refreshing taking a dip in the pool after work. It's very relaxing!









That's all to report for now!

Magrath Days...

Well, as usual I've waited a long time to post something. Nothing really new or exciting has gone on, so I use that as an excuse I suppose. OF COURSE it's not a good excuse, but I use it as one none the less. Yest., was Magrath Days, and it was super fun! The parade was great. We sat with my parents and the Towells. After that, we had a nice lunch at my parents house, where everyone in the fam. was their. I was able to participate in something really fun in the afternoon. Back in November, 2008 our young womens class did a time capsule where we wrote letters to ourselves. Our teach at that time, also made a video of us during one of our activities. I must say, I was SUCH A DORK! But if that's the worst thing I can say, then I'm doing pretty good right?! Anyway, it was fun to read the words that I hoped for myself. Unfortunately, I didn't say much. But there were a few things that I did say, like : always treat others kindly, always love my family and sta

Six Months...

I sure wish that I was better at this...but here I am 6 months later...oops! Well it was a super busy summer.  We put off doing any renos in our house and did outside renos.  Our project this year was taking down our old fence, and putting up a new one.  We unfortunately didn't get everything else done that we needed to. I'm sure we could have gotten the other projects done if money (which seems to ALWAYS be the problem right??!)   hadn't have been in our way! But oh well..I'm thankful that we got as far as we did.  This past week the weather started to get super cold, so I think that we're outta luck for finishing up anything else for outside this year. I am really excited.....because this is my favorite time of the year.  Richard and I make our Halloween Costumes every year(at least this is the 4th year) and it's been so much fun. This year we're dressing up as Mario and Princess Peach.  It's going to be great.   So we've got that on the
