Final Snuggles

My final snuggles.  No need to say more.  It has been a long time since he has done this but it was like it need to happen for us to enjoy our final days.

I love this little boy to the moon and back.  Until we meet again my love.

Boys Weekend

The boys were off to a friends very rustic farm this weekend.  And they had an amazing time.  This farm is out in the back and beyond.  There is no running water or electricity so it is camping in a framed house.  LOL

Here they are ready for their war. LOL

My boys were in heaven with all the freedom to run and play with no real boundaries and threats.

The lake on the land.

A good old game of baseball.  I love looking at these pictures and thinking about how much clean fun they had.

Rylan taking a ride on the the tractor.

Even Stefan got to try.  Was it for fun or were they making them work and they just didn't know it.  LOL

They are all ready.  Poor Ms. B is the only girl but don't be fooled she can hold her own. 

Breakfast time.

Safety first  who doesn't want to do some archery.

Great friends.

Some foose ball fun.

Driving in the old tercel.  What they nicknamed the Terc.

Cruising!  You can't tell me this doesn't look fun.  LOL

It is an oldie but goodie.

The grass was so tall you could hardly see it.  Plus the bugs were endless.  LOL

And there is the proof.

Rylan and their grandpa.

Ok so maybe it wasn't all clean fun.  LOL

The sleeping quarters.

Everyone had a place.

The closest neighbors

Poor Darien had the worst allergies while he was there.  His eyes were so swollen that he had a hard time seeing.  I am pretty sure it did not damper their time there though.  :)

Happy Birthday Stefan

Here we are another year gone!!!  I can not believe that Stefan is now 7 years old.  He has been such a wonderful addition to our family.  He is the most caring and generous child I know.  If he has three treats he is more than happy to offer every single candy to other people. If he is putting his dishes in the dish washer and there are dishes that need to be put in he will do it without even been asked.  He is also the quiet little stinker that likes to get his brothers going.  Like a true little brother.

As usual we don't do anything major for parties but they can have a couple of friends over.

Ready for his cake or should I say icing.  LOL

Happy Birthday to our baby.

He is 7!!!!

Here he is with his friends.

Present time.  It was a great day in so many ways.  Love you Stefan.

Riding a Big Boy Bike

Happy Birthday Stefan!!  Here he is with his bigger bike.  It is just a little bit too big or him but he is so excited to have gears.

It is so great to see our boys growing up and loving like.

Last Day of School

The last day of another wonderful school year. Once again I am so thankful for the teachers that are patient and so helpful with my children.  They have all had a great year of learning.

I am always so thankful when the year is over and we can have a little bit of a break and get ready for the next year.  School is OUT!!!

Fieldtrip with My Boy

This was another trip back to Fort Edmonton but this time with Rylan.  The weather was way better!!   I have done this field trip so many times I feel like I live there.  LOL

Stefan Field Trip

It was a rainy and cold day for a field trip to Fort Edmonton but I wouldn't miss it for anything.

Of course the goofy Stefan has to dress up as a pioneer girl.  LOL

Learning how to make biscuits.

And sitting down for school

He even managed to draw the original flag of Canada

Exploring each building

One more of my little boy/girl.  LOL

Stefan enjoyed school but I don't know how well he would have done at the actual time  As you can see he is turning around which would have not been excepted way back when.  LOL

ARC

This is what they have been training and practicing for their annual ARC  Where they receive their awards and promotions.  It is a very major thing.

They look so good marching.

Working hard.

Receiving their promotions.

Way to go boys.

Marching out.

At attention.

This is Captain Mier and she is amazing.  She loves everything about this program and Darien has always enjoyed being with her.  Sadly this is here last year with this squadron.  It is a sad day for this squadron.  You can only be a captain of a squadron for 5 years before you have to move on.
