Trampoline

Image
As you can see from the title, you've probably guessed it - we've bought a trampoline - the base of the trampoline used to be John's family's and no one wanted it - so when we bought our house we offered to take if off of john's parents hands and store it at our house. The mat to the trampoline was unusable and there was no protective pad to go over the springs and there were springs that needed to be replaced. So John did some research if it would be better just to buy a brand new trampoline or replace the parts on the old trampoline, after doing some research we found that it was just cheaper to replace and get a new mat, order more springs and buy the protective pad for the springs. It is now in our back yard and we are having so much fun with it. I'm sure the boys will have more and more fun as time goes on using the trampoline. I'm not sure if you can read the warning label of the trampoline..... only 1 person at a time, no flips........... hmmmmmm

Sing....Sing A Song

Jackson LOVES music, he loves singing, dancing, anything connected to instruments, anytime he hears music he always gets a little dance going and I often find him in another room just singing away sometimes it will be songs from daycare or songs from Sunday school, we recently started to teach him "Hit the Road Jack" he thinks this song is soooo funny - he loves to sing to his brothers as well. Enjoy this little video!!!

This was attempt #1 at getting their 6 month picture, sometimes I like to do them separately and sometimes together, today Oliver just wanted to eat the paper and Hudson was anxiously waiting for his picture to be taken. We'll try another Ok take #2, Oliver still wanted that piece of paper and I've just learned that this picture will do, I could stand there all day trying to snap the "perfect pic" but this one will do just fine. Yesterday I was driving and saw that the fruit stand had saskatoon berries, for those of you who have never tried these berries you're missing out. Last night I made 8 pies, as you can see from the pic there is only 7 - grandpa bowering was over last night helping John cut branches down from our front tree, it was pretty high up to get all those dead branches, we really appreciated his help so I gave him one pie :) Also on Monday of this week I was in the living room cleaning and the door bell rang, I went to the door and there stood Ja

We have been having lots of fun this summer, we spent 10 days out at the cottage and it wa great, although the weather was a bit cooler, we were still in the water everyday except 1, that day there was a storm and we were without power from10am-7pm, we make good use of our time that day with John reading, Jackson playing and watching his charged portable DVD player, Hudson Oliver mostly slept, and I caught up on tons of scrapbooking. We even headed into Kenora one day and had a fabulous lunch together as a family. I turned 33 on July 10th and we had a fun day just relaxing, we are having a birthday supper soon in Winnipeg to celebrate. John and I will also be celebrating 5 years of marriage this July 26th, we will be out at the cottage but when we get back we will find a date for Grandpa and Grandma to babysit and we will go out to dinner and perhaps a movie!!!!! Hudson and Oliver are little chunko's, they are putting on lots of weight and eating lots of food. They love their cer

Hi Everyone - We LOVE summer. Since I've last been here we have been having fun in cottage land. First was father's day and that was great - we spoiled dad - he got a bocce set, crocket set, 2 XBOX games, the XBOX play and charge kit, and a book called McMafia,and a nice lounging lawn chair - oh yes and the "dad" willow tree angel b/c he needed to be represented in my collection - dad was really spoiled and had a great day and John had a great 20 oz steak!!! We also spent some time at my sister and brother in law's cottage at Lake Metigoshe that was alot of fun, the weather was great and the kids had soo much fun. Then the last weekend in June we spent our first weekend of the year at our cottage, for those of you who don't know where it is, it is in Lake of the Woods, which is in Ontario. We spent this last weekend of June/July 1st with our friends Jonathan and Karen and their kids Josiah and Jessie, we had sooo much fun, the weather was great, we had a
