Patriotism and Parties

It's been a while since I posted anything here, so i thought I'd cover all the major events of the past month. Lucy's uncle Jason is getting married in just a little over a month, and Lucy gets to be one of the flower girls. We've attempted putting curlers in her hair a few times to see if we can come up with a hairstyle that will work for the wedding.
She looks like a little old lady (minus the housecoat and wrinkles) with the curlers in, and unfortunately the hair doesn't look much better when the curlers come out. A little too boufant for me. We'll keep trying.

Max celebrated his 3rd month birthday as well. The chub in the legs and face indicate that he is healthy...and the silly grin indicates he's happy.

A few weeks ago the whole family was able to head over to Riley park to celebrate Emma's 2nd birthday. It was a bit of a chilly day, but that didn't stop the kids from enjoying time in the wadding pool. We had fun watching the kids play, eating lunch and watching Emma quickly open a few presents before the downpour was upon us. The best surprise of all was when Mike and Tammy announced that they were pregnant again by showing everyone a t-shirt for Emma that said, "I'm a big sister". Tears and hugs were enjoyed by all. We got a picture of all the kids at the party and I had told Lucy that she wasn't allowed to have a cupcake until after the picture...as you can see from the photo, Saydee Walker had a cupcake and Lucy couldn't manage to keep her eyes off of it long enough to smile for the camera.
This past weekend I spent Thursday and Thursday nigh at girls camp, while Tyler watched the kids solo. My first night away from my kids in a year. It was fun to go out and spend time with my girls and goof around. The weather was only so-so, but we enjoyed playing games in the "river house" and eating some most excellent food. i can't share too many details unfortunately, because we agreed that what happens at girls camp, stays at girls camp.

On Canada Day Sunday, our family wore our patriotic red and white to church and enjoyed singing all the verses of O Canada in Sacrament Meeting...a rare treat. Even more rare is the singing of the national anthem with out a puck drop at the end!
It's been a pretty great month.
