Flashback to Spring...

I missed posting a few pics due to a stubborn computer...so going backwards...here is a sure sign of spring! The parental leader looks a bit proud don't you think?

Happy Birthday Canada!!

Ooooooh...
Aaaaaah...

Oooooooh...

Aaaaah...

Oooooooh...

Aaaaaaah...

Ooooooooh...

Aaaaaaah...

That's exactly what the little kids behind us at the golf course sounded like...too cute!

An impressive fireworks display for the town of Dryden - hosted by the Dryden Fire Dept @ Flat Rock by Sandy Beach.

O'Canada!

As useless as can be...

I've heard that a picture is worth a thousand words...but I don't have the time to type that many. With any luck, some day soon, I may actually be able to get this stupid piece of technology to allow me to upload pics again!

Until then...sadly, no photos will upload.

Maybe in a week...?

Chillin' at the park...quite literally!

These photos are in reverse order because I was doing a test and turned that portion of my thoughts off I guess...but here are a few photos of the evening BBQ at the Park.
Shelby reading up on the Mammoths...

Playing football with Jacob & the guys...

The sweetest reflection...

Shelby & his Uncle Dwayne

Mmmmm, a face full of hotdog!

Hannah & Eva enjoy!

Steffi & Colby

What a cutie!

Looked like Spring, but felt a whole lot like Winter!

-4 in June is just sad...

Blossoms...finally!

Spring has taken its sweet time in coming...but I'm still hopeful that Summer is hot on it's heals. While I love all of the blossoms & lilacs, etc at this time of year....I'm impatiently awaiting a nice warm, sunny summer filled with perfect days to be at the lake or the park!

Well...

Yeah, it's happening again...only text, no photos! *sigh* I thought I'd figured out a way to get pics to upload, but no more! Keep checking for updates and if I don't run out of patience some day there may actually be another photo update!

GRRRRRR!

Two weeks old...

Dozing in the swing...
And on her Mom's shoulder...

Bright eyed and curious...

Stretching in the sunshine...

Growing as fast as she can!

Levi sang her a song on the way back home Sunday afternoon when she was crying.

I don't know the tune, but it went something like this...

"Mara Lynn, O' Mara Lynn...I got your chin..."

He also enjoys saying to her..."Why you cryin' Mars Bar?"

This is what the weekend looked like...

Games of indoor hockey with mini sticks...
Hockey fights...

Playhouse cleaning...

Bike rides, chariot rides & skateboard rides...uhm, yes that is Aj on the bike with training wheels!

Whippin' skipping ropes...

Rowdy soccer games...

Giants on tricycles...

Antics w/ the purple ball...

Another giant on a tricycle...

Show & tell...

Soccer fights...

Wrestling matches...

Giants trying to squeeze into small cars - kinda like the clowns in the Shrine Circus...

Tired kids...

Sunday naps that were hard to wake up from...even once you were part way down the stairs...

Leap Frog/Pad activites wearing the headset & hollering at everyone to be quiet becuase you couldn't hear...

Help from Cousins...

It was a lively bunch!

3 Nephews + 2 Nieces = Lucky Me

Spencer, "Pensa-Lane", Spence (who recently informed his mother that his name is SPENCER - he is Spencer Sports who rarely sits still and may spout)...
Graeme (who has quietly answered to "Grae" & is known for his patience & determination, but not to be willingly outdone)...
Alyssa, "Lyssa-lou" (a girls girl, a proud & helpful big sister, not afraid to be the boss & very excited for kindergarten!)...

Levi, "We", "Wei"...HOCKEY (a hockey fan from the beginning, with an amazing memory, and lots of zip & bounce, but don't step on his feelings)...

Amara, 'Mara (often seen dozing, squeaking, and looking perfectly innocent & adorable, but she may occasionally squawk & flail if she's mad)...

Four in a chair, and 5 on the couch...

How ironic that Levi had to have this book in the picture...it about sums up these 4...

"Ready...get set....GO!"
But aren't they cute?!
And here are my favourite 5!
Amara wasn't sure she wanted to join them and Levi was still "chewing" a mouthful of farmer's sausage...but they are the current & fantastic five!
