More Canada. More Cousins. Did we ever leave the farm?










Nothings like playing in the wind of Southern Alberta!
They've tied the sheets to their wrists and ankles. 
Lift off!!

Speaking of lift off.  The kids loved this rocket ship that I remembered from my childhood. Adam may have embellished it.  He always makes everything better!

Good luck Uncle Johnny!




Uncle Adam showing off for the grandkids.
The Lego's entertained all the kids more times than I can count.  Also. They were super fun to pick up........


Hannah's Wedding.

We were lucky enough to be able to be in Canada when my cousin got married.  I was so happy I got to see lots of extended family that are otherwise never there!
 Davey, Me, Zane (I think!), and Phil!

I love the temple.  The Cardston temple is my "growing up temple."  Where I first went when I was 12 and back many more times with family and church groups.  I love this temple!





Wilson decided he would rather stay home and play with his other cousins.  Hence he is missing. :)









 Hutterites!  They sang at the family dinner. So great!

 The Bride and the MC.  Cousins are the best!
Some long lost cousins from Las Vegas!

Canadian Summer. Part 1.

When you only see people you love once a year how do you choose which photos to post?  We had a fabulous time on Grandma and Grandpa's farm this summer.  The only thing that would have made it better was having our dad come with us.  Big thanks to him for staying home and working so hard for us!  Still waiting to here back about his anesthesia board exam which he studied for and took while we were away.

 Truman and Davey.  They loved each other... just as much as two almost 2yr olds can. :)



The annual water slide.  It's everyone's favorite thing!





Too cold for my little Arizona born boy.


 One of many magnificent creations that went up in Grandma's sand pile.

 Great Grandma Keeler with Baby Lydia and Uncle Matt.
 It hurts!

 Everybody loves a good cattle drive!


 I didn't realize until the very end that what Davey really wanted was to get as close to the cows as possible. He LOVED the cows.  He still calls out in excitement "moo tow" every time we see a horse or cow.
 I think this is what may have won him over to Uncle Todd's affections finally. :)
 Kings of the Rock!
 One of many strolls to the canal with the two little boys.

 Straw bales!






The grandkids were hot and kept asking for water so Grandma led them right into some. Clothes and all.  Don't worry Grandma's in there too.... I just can't find the proof!


Fencing with Grandpa.

 Sigh. I love this place.

 Last minute instructions from Grandpa.


 Waterton!  
So thankful to my brothers for helping pack my kids around.





 Hiking to Blakiston Falls.
Actually EVERYONE helped pack my kids around!






 haha!

Wilson finally lost his other tooth while eating a granola bar!  LOVE his toothless grin!



 So many great memories of time spent with people we love!
My kids keep asking if we can move to Canada. :)
