Annual A&W event

Last weekend was the annual Cruisin' the Dub event. Thankfully the rain held off until the last minute. Keithan was happy to be second in the rootbeer chugging contest for his age group! Samara was polishing her skills for the hoola-hoop and also learned to use a yo-yo. Rhett was Rhett. Grady was super tired but made it through the afternoon without a nap.

T- Ball

Keithan and Rhett have been busy playing t-ball on Mondays and Wednesdays and mom has been busy trying to get them there. For the most part they like it .. but the weather hasn't been that cooperative to make it enjoyable to watch. Just to brag a tiny bit ... Keithan has the best throwing arm on the team! And just to humble myself a little bit ... Rhett has to fight to wear his ball glove and makes a scene every time! Oh well, the season is done in 2 weeks. Next year we might try soccer instead!

trip photos continued

It seems like ages ago now ... but here are a few more photos from our Calgary excursion. Carla and I tried to do a little shopping, but it wasn't an easy task. The day at the zoo was much more relaxing, as the kids fit right in there! Michelle and her kids and Angela joined us at the zoo so it was even more fun with 8 kids, 2 moms and 2 aunties! Then Sunday we were on our way home again. An unplanned monumental event was that Grady lost his soother on the first night of the trip. Both Grady and mom felt the pain ... as did a few neighbors in the hotel. But, I did not cave and buy a new one and we survived!
