Saturday Fun

Trevor and I took the boys to Kids Club a few Saturdays ago. They have a new ball shooting area that TJ, Russell, and Trevor just loved. I couldn't have taken the boys on my own because I am too big and pregnant to crawl around in all the kid tunnels. I did manage to get up to the shooting area through the handicapped entrance. I guess if you can get a wheel chair up to that part you can get a pregnant woman up there.

Riding the Elephant in the toddler area

This was a big step for Russell. He usually doesn't like heights.

TJ throwing balls from underneath the shooters

It's a little noisy from the ball machines, but you can still hear me over the loud air.

A new cousin

Heather and Christian welcomed baby Drake into the world September 15th. We visited them in the hospital as a family the next evening. Drake is so sweet and so small. I would love to have a 7 pound baby. It would probably help if I had my baby three weeks early like Heather did. Russell and Savannah were so funny with the newborn soothers from the hospital.

Golf Date Night

Trevor and I love to Golf together Friday night for our weekly date. Last week we went to Fairview Acres, a local nine hole. We thought we would get a cart since I'm 31 weeks pregnant, and the course is full of par 4 and 5's, but because we were teeing off at 6:00 they were not renting out carts. Trevor kindly pulled my clubs around the course. I somehow have golf energy in reserve because I was still standing after two hours. Golfing together is probably one of my favorite things to do with Trevor. We're out on a beautiful course talking and enjoying one another. I hope we golf together for the next 40 years.

This is a little video of Trevor's hit. He videoed my hit, but it wasn't pretty. The tummy sometimes gets in the way.

Happy Birthday Boys

Since it's past both Trevor and Russell's birthday I am going to post the two occasions together. Russell turned two, August 21st and Trevor turned thirty-three, September 8th.

Russell had no fear when it came to feeding the big horses.

Cardston Alberta Canada Heritage Days

One of the highlights of an August, Canada trip are the Cardston Heritage Days. The whole town celebrates its heritage with a parade, rodeo, and Mudd Bogg. I don't know what it is about the small town activities, but they bring back so many memories for me. I love watching my boys share in some of the same expereinces I enjoyed when I was a little girl.

A little video of Mudd Bogging ( I had never heard of it until I experienced it last year). The boys loved collecting the candy thrown at them during the parade.
