Quinn- HOCKEY SUPERSTAR (In daddy's eyes...)

Quinn has started his hockey here in Calgary...so far he LOVES it!!

The first video is demonstrating some high speed stick handling...ha ha

Caden

Caden has decided that he doesn't need to nap in the afternoon anymore...so far it is going well!!

Hunter lost his first tooth the other night!!!!!!!!!

First Day of School

Quinn started Grade 2 and Hunter started Kindergarten this year. I can't believe it...it was a little weird watching the two of them getting on the bus together!! How on earth did they get to be this big?!?!?

Butterfield Acres

We decided to take the boys to this petting farm called Butterfield Acres as they are all animal lovers. Caden was thrilled to visit the sheep, goats, donkeys, horses and all other large animals...he even had his first pony ride...but you get him anywhere near the terrifying small animal world of rabbits, squirrels and whatnot, and you have a panic-stricken toddler on your hands. It is truly bizarre.

Penticton

We made our way down to Penticton for a little holiday away from rainy Calgary...it was no less than 38C-42C everyday!!! Wow, was it hot. We had to alternate between the air-conditioned trailer and staying in the lake to stay cool. Here is Caden hanging with his little buddy Rowan by the lake and the boys staying cool at the trailer. When we left Penticton this year it was 41C and we came home to a balmy 10C in Calgary...needless it was a wee bit of an adjustment!

The big boys and daddy decided to float down the channel this year...Shannon managed to make it down a hour and a half of floating and still have two boys at the end of the day!!

We even managed to endure a choking hot day on the Kettle Valley Railway as Caden loves trains.

Skateboard Camp

Quinn goes to skateboard camp!!
