Catching Up....

So I am probably the worst blogger ever. Kinzee got mad at me for never blogging so this is for you Kinz.

I guess I should give an update of our summer.

 I absolutely love summers with the boys and I loved this one even more because I am still on Mat Leave and got to go home to my parents for a lot of it. July is kind of a blur we went down south for Canada Day and had an awesome time with our families. We took Knox on his first hike and he absolutely loved it. Then we headed back home. We spent most of our days in Edmonton going to the spray park, The Leg, or just playing in the backyard. My boys LOVE to be outside. We went back down  to Magrath for Magrath Days. I have never missed a Magrath Days I just love them so much. It is always so much fun to get together with family and to see all my friends. This year Nick and I decided to do the 5k run together. It was such a great experience and I hope we do many more together.
 
Let's see August was super busy. My sister Ashylla got married and it was so beautiful. It was seriously a perfect day. Nothing went wrong which never happens. It was such a fun day. I was a bridesmaid for my 10th time and I think I am officially retiring!! It is so much harder to be in a wedding party when you have kids. I told Hallie if she absolutely wanted me by the time she gets married I would make an exception but for her only lol!! Anyways Dex was the ring bearer and the poor little guys pants fell down as he was walking down the aisle. Poor little guy was getting dragged along cause Auntie Hallie didn't realize what was happening. It was so funny and quite sad at the same time but I am happy to report that the little guy got over it pretty quick. Their wedding was so much fun and I am so glad that they are married. The boys love their uncle Matt and Auntie Ash. They spoil them rotten.

 Right after the wedding Nick, Taylor, Easton, and my dad took off to do the west coast trail. They had an awesome time. While the boys where away all the girls decided we needed to take a trip to Kallispell. It was so much fun everyone got to come but Ash she wasn't quite ready to leave her hubby which is reasonable I guess lol!! Anyways we had a great time shopping and laughing the entire weekend. I had so much fun being home this summer I got to spend lots of time with my family and I loved having the extra help with the boys. If anyone knows Dexter you know that he requires adult supervision 100% of the time lol!! He is so full of energy lol!!

 September came fast and once again we headed south for labor day weekend. We had to come home to say goodbye to Auntie Kinz and Uncle Chanse. It was a very emotional goodbye and we miss them like crazy but we are glad they are having a good time in Costa Rica. We wish we were there with them.

 We went hiking with the family that weekend and just hung out. Nick and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary and actually got to go out on a date. It was so nice to spend time together. I love Nick so much!! He is such an amazing husband and father. I am one lucky girl.

 We had such nice weather for September so we spent as much time as possible outside. Nick built the boys a sandbox this summer so we have lived in the back yard. We had such an awesome summer and I am sad that it went by so fast. My boys are growing up way too fast so I kiss and hug them every chance I get, cause pretty soon they will be to cool for that lol!!
 
Here are a few pics from the summer.
