It felt so good to take a family trip today...just the 5 of us.  We headed to Meandher Creek Pumpkin Patch...the kids had a blast!  We all chose our pumpkins, loved the variety of different pumpkins they had.  This family will definitely be back next year for another visit.

My Dad wouldn't really be a fan of me posting this photo...but when he popped over and Coco wanted to just hang with Papa, I had to snap a few pics.

Today was the last day for the kids with Nanny Kelsey...they had a wonderful summer with her and Cory & I couldn't have accomplished all that we did with our businesses without her.  Thanks Kelsey...we wish you the best as you go onto becoming the Preschool/Pre-K teacher here in Oxbow...you are such an aspiring, capable young person to have in our community.

What a month...August 2011

Wow...August was a blur!

Some major changes in our family's lives this month.  With the amalgamating of the two lumberyards, Cory working full time at the lumberyard, I working full time at the liquor store AND us both carrying on our other careers in the meantime, not to mention family life...there was alot of adjusting for the 5 of us in August.  Thank goodness for our nanny Kelsey who kept things going on the homefront as we sorted things out at work.  We went from a staff of 6 to a staff of 16 and had 5 people down in one week (3 quit and 2 sick/injured).  I definitely asked myself 'why are we doing this' several times and just kept thinking...it's going to get better.

I'm glad it's over, I'm glad we survived...we're so lucky to have each other and hopefully we'll look back one day and think fondly about our accomplishments.

Cory's Grandparents were so sweet to make a special trip to see us to celebrate Coco's first birthday.  Scarlett was so happy she got to pose for a photo with Great Grandma!

My sister and I packed up all of our kids and headed to Minot ND for the day.

I remember how much I loved coloring with my Mom as a kid, so it's so special to see Mom coloring with my children!

We were guests at my Aunt Loelle's home tonight as she hosted a family bbq.  I just could not resist taking a photo of her dining room chandilere...it's so elegant!

We had a blast at Grandma Nash's birthday party this weekend in Saskatoon!

It was so nice to see everyone and catch up.  It will be a memorable weekend for all of us, especially the kids who played hard the whole time.

We always love going to the Alameda Fair!

We were so excited to hear Daddy was able to take the Family Day Holiday off of work to spend with us. We enjoyed the day together and took the chance to take part in the family skating event (while Nana watched Coco) put on by EFC at the local rink.
