Halloween Pic

My hubby had to be a minion from the movie Despicable Me.  So using the help of www.instructables.com, we created this...

Not too shabby!

And I went as a vampire.  Cause I didn't want to be the lame wife of the guy in the cool costume...Next year we'll make something cool for me!

Took my phone swimming this summer... Ooops

 Got a new phone.  The kids all had to get a picture on it.

 My favorite crazy kids :D

 My cute baby :D

Cute cousin!  What fun!

Here's my baby learning to crawl.  Not yet six months in this one! :D

My little artists

I got these two set up to paint so I could feed the baby and chat on the phone.  While I was watching, they proceeded to get creative.  One of many times today, though this one was the most fun!

They decided that paper was too predictable for their artwork, and moved on to a more creative medium...Their bodies!

 I think they were going for the warpaint / camouflage look.

It took a lot of elbow grease to get that paint off! 

Randomness...

 Wesley got to meet my gramma.  Isn't she cute?  Love you gramma!

 We've been going to the mountains after church for fun...

 I think Trevor is just trying to kill me by making me haul my butt up huge steep hills.  Bring it on!

Here are the falls.  So pretty.  We went up into Blue Rock and Sheep River Parks.

And stopped for a picture in Black Diamond.

A great day!

May long weekend

Peter turned 10 this month!  Happy birthday!  And why can't you ever just smile NICELY for a picture???

We went camping at Little Bow provincial park for the long weekend.  We had to try out our new camper!  The camper was great, the weather was not!  We slept seven people in that camper two nights in a row.  Two littles on the bunk, myself , Trevor and Wes on the table bed (and Harlee too one night) and two littles on the floor.  Peter drew the short straw the second night and got the floor to sleep on.  All night long, he kept kicking open the door and freezing us!  Good times though!

We still love you Peter!

We tried a little fishing.  No bites.  The wind was too strong.

This is what Peter and Alex liked to do whenever they could....play in the fire.  

or chop wood.

Climb trees.  This is a "where's Levi"  picture.  Can you find him?

We did a lot of fire playing...It was the only way to stay warm.

We had a ceremonial curtain burning.  Bye-bye lace curtains.  The fumes just about killed us.

 

I think this is a good look for me :D 

 

 Smile Alex, it's not that bad!

 This is Trevor's favorite thing to do.

 Grampa is enjoying his chocolate bar.

Levi is looking somewhat clean here.  It's a miracle!

And Wesley decided after only two days, that he didn't want to camp in the cold anymore, so I decided we should all pack up and go home.  :D

Some fun videos from our crazy lives!

Trevor at the Big Rock in Okotoks. I attempted to film his accident to get on America's funniest home video's.  He landed it, though!

 Here are the baby cousins.  Trying to get them to smile. 

This is Levi staging a video for America's Funniest Home Video's! LOL

Here is some of the family being crazy, trying to get Wes to laugh.

May so far...

I'm so far behind with blogging, so here is another quick update with pictures.

Harlee loving her brother.  A regular occurrence.

 .  Gramma May turned 50!  Happy birthday!

 Uncles Wayne and Drew playing with Wes at the Party.

I think Isabella enjoyed her cake.

 Peter and Alex... not trying to annoy each other!

Here's all the family that made it.

We went for a five hour drive to Elkford BC.  It should have taken us only two and a half hours.  But we got delayed....Climbing big rocks...

 This is at Frank Slide in the Crows Nest Pass.  I used to love climbing here as a kid.

 Check out this cute hat.

 Yup, I was here too!

 We were on our way to our cousins house.  Dad was already there helping them shingle the roof of their house. 

 I think he was taken over by an alien...Hmmmm.

Tonya, Braiden and Blaine and you can kinda see the new roof in the back there...

We saw a lot of wild life on the way.  A Coyote, a herd or two of these funny guys, more deer than we could count and even some elk.  The trip home was much faster.  No stopping, and we made it in two and a half hours.  Of course, Dad was driving again.

 We had us another cousin photo shoot when the Youngs came to town again. 

 We weighed them both, and Wes is still winning, but not by much.

Wes is 15lbs 4oz and Sol is 14lbs 4oz.

 Cousin Rosie stopped by, too.  She's in the twenty something range.  The boys may never catch her!

 Here's Wes grinning at his great gramma Callbeck.

 I couldn't resist adding this one.  That's hot, Matt!

 And here is my latest acquisition.  It's a 14ft trailer!  I'm so excited!  It's the same age as my dear husband.  It is also my new fixer-upper project.   

 It's in really great shape, but...

 THESE cushions have got to go!

As do the LOVELY lace curtains, and those caps!  There is carpet on the floor too, so I will be looking for some free laminate scraps to clean that up.  I will be posting pictures of the final project when I get it done.  

Harlee has already broken in the trailer.  She fell in the doorway and split open her chin, so we got to spend the evening in the Urgent Care Center waiting to get her all glued back together.  Good as new now.

And, hopefully I will post again soon, so I'm not doing so much catch-up!
