July- start of summer

Summer was fun and it went FAST. The beginning of summer was really nice. Which worked perfectly for us because we were gone for the last two weeks in July and the first week in August.

Well here are my picture updates for my family

 Canada is always fun. We seem to always go to the Sherwood Park parade. Then make our way to my parents and swim. Really hot that day.

 

Love this crew!

 This boy has the best eye lashes and lips!

And this boy always sits with his legs crossed. Jason's brother Justin does this a lot, and I think his Grandpa did and a few uncles. Got to be a Low thing. I love it, kills me every time. He even fell asleep with them crossed.

 

Best buds



 

 

Mermaid and Merman

 

He loves to build build build

 

Our kids are pretty creative. They love to play make believe. Guess Beck was getting in on the action.

 

Doctors. Well Vets.

 

This tukery got stuck. Had to take a picture before I helped the girl.

 

We try to spend a lot of time swimming on my parents pool. Really helps being here with 4 young kids vs. going to an out door pool.

 

He loves his independence since he discovered he could walk.

 

This girl is trying to read the scriptures a little a night on her own. Must have got tired!

 

Ever since this boy could move he's obsessed with basketballs. We did not force this on him or really even introduce it to him since Jace was never interested. He just loves it.

Before we left for the summer Jace and Talia did two weeks of basketball camp for an hour and half each day. It was so great. Well put together and they really got down to fundamentals. I am so excited for the phases of life where we get to watch our kids participate in sports.

 

And just before we left for Panorama we went to Newsies.

 

My big baby

June & End of School

June went by so fast! It felt so busy. School carnival, baby showers, Calgary zoo, father's Day, and last days of school. It was a fun month. In fact July has been filled and gone by so fast as well. I need to play catch up. Thanks goodness it's the year of picture up dates

My ward is great at doing park days or getting people together. It's so fun having Taren and fam. in our ward as well. Penny and Colby are best friends.

Dirty Baby goes in a sink. He loved it

 Funny I initially reached for the dish soap to wash him hahaha Good thing I clued in or else he might have been really dried out.

 

We went to a splash park for a friend get together. Saying good bye (mostly see you around southern alberta) to good friends.

 

I am wearing my kids out this summer... well they are wearing me out.

 

So many new cousins this year. Two in the Low side as well. We're loving it.

 This has been happening a lot lately... the spunky unite and become "best friends".

 

So first week of June Talia's school had a carnival. It's kind of fun going. Or maybe I'm saying that because it was my first year going. Kids loved it.

 

We had lots of pool time. Beck loves the water and the other three are fish.

 

He has grown up so much. He started walking at the end of June. And hasn't stopped.

 

Random picture but this guy was wet and in the middle of the driveway. I'd like to think I saved his life. ;)

 

Our nieces baby blessing. Occupying this guy at church is getting harder.

 

We planned to dress in black and white...

 

Jace was in heaven following around his uncles while they did our landscaping. Jace literally worked ALL day with them. Digging and doing what they did. Jace loves this stuff. I hope he keeps up this desire/ talent.

 

At Paisleys baby shower. The girls came a long. They love playing with their cousins.

 

We planned a trip to Calgary zoo to meet up with some of Jasons siblings that were visiting in Cardston. We loves family and wish we could see them all more. It was so nice to them to meet us. Even some just had had babies. We're so happy we got to meet the two new additions. And Jace obviously loves his cousin Benson.

 

 This boys dinner that night... parent fail or win? haha

 

Father's Day 2016

We are so lucky to have Jason has our guy here! We all adore him!

He's a hard worker, provider, and fun Dad to have around.

Love you Jason!

 

Playing. Avery and Talia still had a day or two left of school.

 

So close to walking...

Wanted a picture in our new dresses

 This girl is going to have a lot of photos like these this summer.

 

Last day of school!

Can I just say how proud I am of this girl. She has drive and she really worked hard. Not only at school but with her piano as well. We loved her teacher. She was kind and pushed just the right amount. I've been so happy with her school as well. We feel blessed.

 first day/ last day.

 

We randomly stopped at a splash park. No suits or towels... we were that family this day hahaha

 

Sibling love. I do love when they get a long. The beginning of summer before we left on holidays made me nervous but it's actually been really good. I think the key is going on vacation!

Well now on to July- Basketball camp, Panorama, and Echo. Lots of fun!
