I have crabs!
Well its not what your thinking~! ha ha! We are watching these little creepy things for a friend of mine! They are ALL Layton talks about, besides Indiana jones lego!
We have been keeping busy with house stuff, the kids and just hanging out as a family! IT has been wonderful to have a bit of down time! Things are super crazy this summer so it seems! I bet yours is the same! We finally got a bit of rain the other day. It is sooo dry here. The farmers are really suffering. My garden is doing okay for now. I have a few tomatoes, but the bugs got my raddishes... booo bugs. The peas are coming up great though. Can't wait to taste one!
We had Heather and Troy come visit with their little guy Ethan.... (We call him freda here) Tana and Layton had a blast with him. And why not! He is pretty cute!
Well, thats all for now but stay tuned we have some very exciting news to relay in the next couple of days!! NO were not pregnant!

Catch Up
Okay so we went to Prince Albert and had soooo much fun there! The Kids love love love it~ The animals and aunts and uncles and the dirt.... oh yes the giant dirt pile we call the garden! layton picked flowers for grandma everyday!! lol. I also had the chance to go for my first massage.... oh man if you have never been YOU MUST GO!! So completly relaxing and for $50 I can't imagine any better way to blow that money! I will be back!!
Then we moved along to regina, Makin decent time I might add! had so much fun there too! kids made crafts, I taught Kels to make bows. Spent time at the giant play park! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Layton went out with Uncle Dan and Auntie Krista to a movie, He still talks about it! (And Dan's new ride, he's jealous) and wears the 3 D waifare glasses I might add! I went out to dinner with Jim and Courtney! So Nice! Thanks again guys! (p.s.I am jealous of your new ride!)
Then it was time to make the journey home... Just me and the kids! Yup only took 11 hours! Now I am not to sure how many of you (look at me being optimistic and assuming more than one person is reading this!! ) know how long of a trip it is but it's usually only about 8 hours....
Good thing we were driving on a road with not much oncoming traffic! ha ha!
While we were away, we got new windows put in! yup we gave them a key and they let themselves in and did the job then left! Don't worry, It was the primary pianist and the bishop from church! (if we can't trust them who can we!!) They are fabulous, and quiet and New!! we also ripped down the fiber wall, cause it was a textured wall underneath and it was horrible! So we re-drywalled it and put the corners on today! so still have a ways to go.
The day after we got home we went to the Young Womens silent auction and Dinner, to raise money for girls camp. (I donated a photoshoot.) It was super fun and since we were all home to go we got all dolled up and took pics to prove it!
My Friend Holly and I decided to do a kids swap. I take them one day and she takes them the next! So she took my kids all day! How wonderful,
I cleaned out the room of doom (you can imagine by the name what it was like)
I did 7 loads of laundry
I set up the crib for Ethan
I put the corners up on the drywall
I patched nicks and scratches in the hall way
I made pizza for lunch
I went and looked at paint colours
I had an amazing shower!
I revamped my website.
I edited pictures.
I cleaned the basement.
I love having no kids for a day! THANK YOU HOLLY!!
and my garden! It has come up so well! I am so happy with it for my first garden I couln't be more pleased. I hope it all goes well for the rest of the summer!

"Hearts"
Lindsay is gone to cornwall and I am in regina. We are going to be reunited again tomorrow. Oh how I can't wait. I miss MY man. Who ever said that absence makes the heart grow fonder is SOOOOO right. It makes us forget what little imperfections they have, It makes us forget all the bad times we went through, It makes us forget everything in the world except the love we have for that person. I LOVE MY man!
He completes me.
He is the ying to my yang.
He is the itunes to my ipod,
He is The Jack to my Jill! Seriously....
Found this on Mom and Dads computer. Thought I would share.... P.S. I was 3 months preggo with Layton at the time!!

The Farm
Things I love about the farm
Waking up to the birds
gardening
feeding the horses
listening to the hum of the new (and very bright may I add) porch light
The laid back approach to everything here
And my favorite
HIGH SPEED INTERNET!
Bless this country!
