What a summer!

This summer has flown by...and we have been super busy!!!!  It's nice to know that things should start to slow down now...and we can breathe!

 Here's a brief recap of our summer fun...

 -July 1st week Richard and I traveled down to Idaho for the 1st Annual Roth Family Reunion...and had a total blast!  Oh...let me back up.  We got a new camper trailer, and we looooove it!  It is so awesome.  We were able to bring it down to Idaho with us.  We camped for a few nights up near Island park and that was so much fun.  Oh how I love having a new trailer...I will never camp again without it!  I mean seriously, who wouldn't love being out in the middle of no where with a flushing toilet and a shower???? 

 After that week in Idaho My Aunt Sharon who lives in Ontario arrived for a 5 week holiday.  We then traveled up to Edmonton the weekend we got back from Idaho so Richard could take his "English" test which is a required test one must take to apply for Canadian Citizenship(and BTW...he scored as high as you can...he's awesome!)

 The next weekend it was my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary, and we threw a surprise Anniversary party for them...and it was a THEME PARTY!!! OH YEAH!  It was so much fun...the theme was the roaring 1920's.  It was so much fun.

Then we celebrated Magrath days the last weekend of July. 

 In August....
August 3rd My baby sister Miranda was married to her sweetheart...and I inherited another brother...we're such a lucky family to have Adam in our family now.  He is such an awesome person...with a heart of gold!

 Oh my...I must say that I had so much fun visiting with my Aunt Sharon.  I hadn't seen her for 15 years...and that's WAY WAY WAY TOO LONG!  We had so much fun together.  We made so many fond memories...

          - We could hardly contain ourselves while making fruit shiskabobs(spell???)...
         - We were able to go camping together
         - We got to go have several campfires and learned of the super smart invention of the smore maker
        - We went to see The Lone Ranger...and laughed our heads off...
        - I got to watch "storage wars" with Sharon(the first time I'd ever watched it)...and that was great!

 ....and many more great times.

 Richard and I were able to travel down to Idaho again for Chloe and Dallons wedding...and what a special day it was.  We sure love them...

 and then our summer has finally come to a close with our ward campout that was last weekend!

 Busy summer right?  Right!  Not to mention that we've done a lot of work outside...our project this weekend is to finish repairing our "green house".  This last winter's wind completely destroyed it and we use it as our storage shed so we have to get that finished before the weather gets cold.

 I have to say I am soooooo excited for the fall.  It is totally my favorite season.  I love how the leaves turn beautiful colors, wearing warm sweaters...and feeling cozy cuddled watching movies(and of course when fall comes around...that means Christmas isn't far behind).

 Well that's all I have to report for now.  I'm sooo totally tired.  Now that summer has slowed down, hopefully I will get my butt in gear and post more. 

 Night all...:)

I'm bad...and that's good????

  Ok....so if you have not had the opportunity to watch Wreck it Ralph...you need to!!!!  It is now one of our favorite movies.  It has so much cute humor in it, plus a nice feel good story line.   They have a "bad guys" group where they have meetings weekly to discuss their frustrations on being the bad guys.  They all say a chant(if that's what you call it??) which is: "I'm Bad, and that's good, I will never be good and that's not bad, there's no one I'd rather be...than me". I love that.  It says/means a lot in my opinion.   Ralph is not bad...he's just the "bad guy" in his video game.  He's got a good heart and a good soul.   So... you are probably wondering why I'm posting about this right?   I have really been trying hard lately to not just assume someone is what I think they are just by looking at them...you know the whole don't judge a book by it's cover kind of thing.  It's working...

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...

By -
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...
