At the Wharf with the Leleuxs
What a fun visit we had with Karla, Justin and Kenzie!
(write up to come later - I'm off to play at a soccer tournament!)

Look at these cuties, are you kidding me? Jorji and nate love it when Kenzie is around.

Ok, I am now back from my soccer tournament and can finally write a bit. Surprisingly, we didn't do too hot in our tournament mostly due to a lame draw. Also one of my teammates summed it up pretty well on her facebook account "Our team sucked on the soccer field this weekend but ROCKED in the beer gardens." Hmmm I wonder if there could have been a correlation?:) I'm lovin' my team this year though, it's been pretty fun.

We were so happy that the Leleuxs came to visit early June. We had such a great time visiting with them, watching movies, playing at the splash park, eating at Rosa's, celebrating Jorji's birthday (thanks for cooking the burgers karla) and visiting the wharf. Please come back soon!

Little Kenzie with her mamma. The kids think Karla is so funny, I think it's because she will say

"poo" when we take pictures to make them laugh.

The cousins enjoying a little treat on the wharf.

man, I love these guys.

The leleuxs, love them too.

We have a six year old and I can hardly believe it!

These kids partied like it was 1999 today at Jordan's party. More write up to come in the next couple of days.

Fun at Fletcher Park with the Floyds


Jess and the kids came up for Memorial day weekend and we had such a blast. We were so happy they made the trip, we love to see them and the kids always have so much fun! The weather was perfect so after soccer saturday morning we headed to the water park for fun and frolic in the sun.

And frolic they did....

Jordan's First Dance Show "The Three Little Bears"

After months of practicing, Jordan's dance show of "the three little bears" went on tour around BC last month. Well, not really but it sure seemed like it! They had two performance in Enderby and two in Salmon Arm, essentially taking up the better part of two weekends! I'm not complaining though, Jordan loved and had a blast. It was a new experience for me tacking together costumes, helping backstage and making sure that her hair is tightly pulled back and that she looked ballerina-ish. I think I like being a soccer mom better, but I may be a little biased.

One proud daddy.

We were so happy that our cousins were here to see Jordan's show, it really made her feel like a celebrity.

Jordan lit up the stage and we were so proud of her. It must be nice to be six and completely fearless.

Camping May Long Weekend at Scotch Creek

Aie! I have so much to blog from the past month. We have been busy with dance recitals (two weekends of it to be exact), soccer games and practices, a visit from the Floyds, planting and preparing our garden and flower beds, painting our basement and Jared's trip to Quebec. All of which I hope to blog in the next couple of days. It's also amazing how busy I feel now that I am working again, even though it is only two days a week. Spring is in full swing here, flowers are in full bloom and the smell of sunscreen is in the air. I LOVE this time of year with all the hecticness that it brings. May long weekend, we decided to get away from all the yard work, house work and other social responsibilities and pack up our truck and tent trailor for a weekend with friends in the woods at Scotch creek. We had a fabulous time as always. This was our tent trailor's maiden voyage and we were thrilled with our 1978 Lextra.

I can't lie, the kids ate a lot of roasted marshmellows. I mean a lot. Sometimes earlier in the day than I would like to admit.

Marching like "Peter Pan" around the campsite nice and early in the morning.

Tired eyes.

"Go Nathan, Go!"

Some friends overheard Nathan say to himself as he burned past them on his bike.

One of the best parts about Scotch Creek is the biking. We had a nice paved road right for the kids to ride on. Nathan got so good while we were there and would often be seen speeding by. I went for a run one morning and took Jordan with me on her bike. We went through some pretty narrow dirt trails and Jordan manoevered them so well. I think it's almost time to get her a mountaing bike with some gears. She was awesome as she rode with the million boys we had with us in our group.
