It's been awhile

Well, I'm finally back on here. It's been awhile since I've posted anything. We have just mainly started getting things back into routine around here (as much of a routine as we ever have) Braiden seems to be doing good in grade 1. Of course whenever I ask him what is his favourite part of school his answer is always recess. But isn't that everyones favourite? :) This summer he started riding a bike without training wheels. He is now always saying that he is going outside to ride his "two-wheeler" He's too cute. Caleb is all over the place already. He is crawling everywhere, and I am constantly chasing after him as he's getting into everything. He's going to keep me running once he's walking. I know people seem to be so happy when there kids start walking, but honestly, I'm good with him taking his time. Although I'm pretty sure that this may not be the case with him. He is definitely a kid on the move.
Here is a pic of him at moms. It was the first time he rode without training wheels.

Caleb finding the washer and dryer very interesting. I remember Braiden doing the same thing.

I'll try and post more often than I have this month. I'll try to get to it in between chasing Caleb down!

Why oh Why?

Ok, so first I have to say that I love summer. It's by far my favourite time of year, and I believe it's way too short. I'm trying to like winter more each year by trying new winter sports - but nothing beats summer. Although I am a bit happy for routine to start, I am sad that the warm days are coming to an end. The other day we all went out boating, and it was a blast. So much fun! We thought it was supposed to rain and be cold, but it ended up being a really great day. No complaints at all here! Oh, and I put a ton of pics on as well... there was just so many to choose from. Your lucky I didn't put more on!
Sitting on the beach. Caleb liked putting his feet in the sand.
This was so funny. Braiden kept pushing Shan (and roger) around on the tube. Finally I had to join her. I have to say, it was quite nice just hangen out while the kids pushed you around. I understood why she was being such a nice aunt and letting them do that! haha :)
Caleb loved being in the water as well. I didn't think he would - I thought it might be too cold, but he seemed to really like it. And Skylar was a little fish. She didn't come out of the water until the very last minute. It looked like she was having a great time
Zack up on the skies! He did an awesome job!
Blaine skiing. He was having a blast.
Caleb loving the boat of course - and the camera. He would smile so big when I would point the camera at him, and as soon as I would put it down he had the look on his face like "why would you stop taking pictures of me? Don't you know I'm cute?"
Blaine and dad on the kneeboards. Blaine said they should play bumper boards to dad - until Blaine got bumped off! haha
On a tube ride. I just love Braidens face on this one. Don't worry, he did love it. He wanted to keep going on tube rides the whole time. He was loven it.
This was from the first tube ride of the day. Being careful on how fast we were going for Braiden - I guess we were being too careful! haha Braiden fell asleep for a bit, and Tyson looks oh so impressed. We had to kick it up a notch after this.
This was a fun ride - especially for us in the red tube. The blue one didn't seem to move much. Ours went all over the place, and we were constantly hitting the other one. Poor Tyson kept getting splashed like crazy and our tube kept landing on top of him.
Just had to put this one on. Those are fun tube rides.
It was a great day. So fun. Here's hoping for a warm September! And maybe even longer? ... one can always hope.
