My Little Helper

One of my favorite things to do has always been to bake cookies with my boys. This time is so precious and I love it. Stefan was so excited to help me especially with Jamie bringing home a new apron for him. LOL







He loves to taste the cookies, in fact he likes the dough more than the cooked cookies. LOL So much fun!!

Street Performers Festival

Edmonton is known for being the Capital for Festivals and so this year we are trying to take advantage of these. So we decided to head to the Street Performers Festival, were performers come from all over the world. It was amazing what some of these people can do.



There was so much for the kids to do. They had these little tents set up for the kids to play in with different puzzles in them.


Enjoying some lunch together.


They have this great wading pool with fountains that the kids can play in and since it was a warm afternoon they were very happy to cool off in it.


Darien cooling off.


Kids plus one friend all cooling off.


Rylan got all the way in. LOL We had a great afternoon and will try and go again next year.

There is Beauty

Our fun was finally over and we were on our way home. I am so thankful for the beauty that is all around and the canola fields with the dark sky behide looks to beautiful that we had to take a picture. We had a wonderful trip to Salt Lake and can't wait for next time. There is so much to do and see there.

Swimming in Salt Lake

Yes that is Rylan jumping off the "high" diving board at a great pool that we took the kids to for the day. I was very nervous watching him up there but he did great.


Stefan taking his turn off the lower diving board.


Rylan showing his flipping skills. He did great because he didn't land on his back.


The two monkeys.

This was the funniest thing to me. At a fast food restaurant called "Chick Filet" they had a day were if you came dressed up as a cow you could get a free meal. Really only in America. LOL
So here we are all dressed up and enjoying our free meals. They kids had a great time.

They even had activities for the kids to do. They gave away a lot of free food this day. Amazing.

Temple Day

This was our day spent at the Salt Lake Temple. This was the original tabernacle.
I love looking back on the pictures from a year ago to see the changes in all the kids.
Again, playing with my new camera. The flowers on Temple Square of amazing.
Darien wanted to have his picture taken in front of this statue because he will be getting the priesthood in July when he turns twelve. If you want to know more about what this is you can look at http://www.mormon.org/.
I love this picture and I can see this being in their slide shows when they get married. LOL Of course I am always planning for their future. ;)
This is just tradition. LOL We have the same picture from last year.
After walking around in the heat for a while we made our way to the spray park so that the kids could cool off.
Ah the joys of a new camera.
The laughter from the water praying. The look of fun.
Everyone else relaxing and enjoying the shade.
