Summer days

We love summer! We have been doing lots of walking, biking, and basically anything outside! My little girlie keeps me so busy and active that I often forget I'm pregnant. It's a bit scary to think I could possibly only have 5 weeks left in my pregnancy..Realistically though, it will probably be more like 9! haha.

Manitoba Holiday

We recently enjoyed a special trip out to Manitoba to visit my family and friends. Some of my family members were in Saskatchewan for a farm show and so my mom graciously agreed to pick up Bekah and I from home and make the trip back to Manitoba. Bekah and I spent 8 days there without Jared and then Jared came out for our last weekend there. I was there for almost 11 days and as usual it went by too fast! Things not pictured are visits with 2 of my grandmas and multiple family activites.

Bekah enjoyed the large cement pad in the front of my parents house. It was usually filled with kiddos on plasma cars, bikes, trikes, and wagons. 

Cousins Brandy and Bekah enjoyed playing together, they are about 9 months apart.

Some of my high school friends and I met up for a playdate with our kiddos. It was so much fun getting to see our kids interact and play together. So far Bekah is the only girl in the group, but that didn't stop her from having a blast, especially when we filled up the kiddy pool.

Cousin Reid was always eager to show us and talk about  his 'farm simulator' game on the iPad :)

Another get-together with my high school friends, this time out for supper WITHOUT kids. This year marks 5 years since we graduated, and it was so enjoyable spending quality time together. Between all of us there are 8 kids and 2 on the way!

My mom planned a playdate to the spray park with  her grandkids. Despite the crazy heat before and after this spray park trip, it decided to rain while we were there. The kids were troopers and had fun regardless. It was only because of the thunder, lightning and rain that we felt the urgency to get out of there so soon.

Splish Splash!

The cousins who made it out, minus little Davis who was chilling in the stroller :)

We had to run to the vehicle fast once it started to rain. Grandma bought yummy ice-cream treats which we all enjoyed as well. 

Jareds drive to MB took an unfortunate turn for the worst. Just over halfway to my parents our vehicle sputtered and then died. My dad and I drove out to pick him up with the car-hauler and arrived back on the farm at 3:30 AM. The local mechanic took a look at it monday morning and thankfully it was a quick and fairly inexpensive fix.   

We were able to partake in the town fair, which of course included face-painting!

My little kitty cat :)

My family knows how to have some good ol' redneck fun.  Here my brother Dean is opperating our service truck/swing which can go very high and is very fun :) 

Bekah enjoyed swinging with me as well!

Back at home now, Bekah loves to flush the toilet. She closes the lid, hops on and waits for Jared or I to help her press the buttons. I'm glad her focus has changed to this instead of splashing in the toilet.
