Canada Day Long Weekend we went home to southern alberta to finally meet our niece Olivia and she is beautiful!! We instantly fell inlove and wish we lived closer so we could see them all the time. We had a great weekend we went to waterton with the entire family on friday and it was a lot of fun!! Then on saturday we had Livi's baby shower and it turned out so great!! I got to make a few cute things on the cricut which I love to do!! We had a great turn out and Kass got some really cute stuff!! Then on Sunday it was Livi's Baby blessing and Easton's birthday so we had a very busy weekend but it was great to spend time with my family. I miss living near them and Dex loves being around all of them too!!
We got to bring Hallie home with us for a week and a half and it was awesome!! I might not have made it without her. I worked 12 shifts while she was here and she let me sleep in which was amazing!! We loved having her up here and while she was here Dex said her name it was pretty awesome and now she claims that she is the favorite auntie. I think the other aunties are a little jealous but I guess that just means they need to come stay with us for awhile!! Anyways I felt bad we couldn't do much while she was here because it rained the entire time. I think we had one nice day so we ran through the sprinkler.
My mom came up to get Hallie and she stayed for a few days and ofcourse I had to work everyday while she was here but I still enjoyed spending time with my mom!! I miss her so much!! She is the best woman I know and I just love her so much!! We decided to take down one of our trees in the backyard together and we did pretty good until the end... let's just say we almost riped down our cable wires running off of our garage. It is a good thing Nick got home just in time to help us lol!!
After working so many days in a row I decided to take a saturday off so Nick, Dex and I enjoyed an entire day together and it was awesome. We didn't do much in the morning just tidied up the house and let Dex take his afternoon nap. Then we went out grocery shopping and then went to the Leg. We had so much fun!! Dex ran and jumped in the water even though the water was a little chilly but it didn't phase him at all. We had a great time together and then we came home put Dex to bed and Nick and I got to snuggle on the couch and watch a movie!! It was so nice!!
Anyways this last weekend was Magrath days so we were heading home on thursday night but we got a phone call on sunday that my uncle burns had passed so we came home a day earlier. His funeral was on thursday and it was an amazing service. Everyone laughed and cried and you could just feel the spirit so strong and we knew that my uncle burns was there. We will truly miss him but feel so blessed that he isn't in pain anymore and is doing the Lord's work!! He has an amazing family and I am so glad I got so spend time with them this weekend. We had a family reunion and it is always so nice to get together with your family!! I have an amazing extended family and we always have so much fun together. Magrath days was fun like always but I must say it is way more tiring with a toddler running around. Dex had a blast!! He collected a huge bag of candy from the parade, played with all his little cousins, walked the trail with grandpa, went to the petting zoo, ran around all day, went to the softball games, was constantly given candy all day long, watched the firworks and zonked right out. It was a good weekend all in all and I can't wait to go on our holidays in August!!
