Welcome to our blog! We wanted to keep a record of our adventures and keep in touch with our friends and family that live in other cities. Matt was born and raised in Medicine Hat, Alberta and Jennifer was born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Molly joined our family in January 2007, Caleigh was born in July 2008, and Miller was born in January 2011. Since then, we have been very busy raising our family and having a little fun along the way!

Let the summer begin!






Summer is finally here! We have had so much rain this year, but the last couple days have been beautiful! The sun is shining and we have been able to spend so much time outside.

Matt and Ty had an opportunity to go to the U2 concert in Edmonton on June 1. They had a great time and I guess the concert was really good.

The first weekend of June we all packed up and drove to Saskatoon. The weather was beautiful and we really wanted to go up to the lake, but both Matt and I were very nervous about driving on that highway again. We decided that we really needed to face our fears. Matt drove up with dad, and I drove up with mom and the kids. They are currently dividing the highway, which is a hug relief. I think that highway will always bring back some bad memories for us, but we love it up at the lake so much, were not going to let our fears get in the way.

Miller went for his first boat ride...and first boat nap! He loved having his little naps in the boat and on the beach. Uncle Shane, Uncle devin, Auntie Angie and Ashton came out to the lake too. We had a great time catching up with everyone. Matt, Shane and Dad spent the majority of the time trying to get the satelite to work, and they were eventually successful!

We took a little day trip to Banff this month. We went for a walk and did a little shopping. Caleigh loved the waterfalls and her and Matt climbed a staircase to get a better view. Cal loved the mountains, and was so happy to be there. She was absolutely convinced that Mickey Mouse lives in the Banff Springs Hotel. We even had to drive to the hotel to prove that Mickey wasn't there! She loved watching the horses walk up and down Banff Avenue and really wanted to go for a ride. By the time we gave in and said yes, the horses were on a 'break'. She was so upset when we told her that we had to leave without going for a ride. Maybe next time....

Caleigh has been spending quite a bit of time in the yard this year. She loves playing on the new swingset that Grandma and Grandpa bought. The hilight of her day is definitely the ice cream truck. Everytime she hears the music, she runs inside and grabs her piggy bank. So cute! She has also been spending quite a bit of time with her new friend Macy. The play in the yard almost every day, but they also love playing dress up. Cal got a trunk of princess dresses and jewellery and it keeps the girls entertained for hours!

Miller started rolling over this month! He can only roll from his stomach to his back, but he is so proud of himself! He is becoming a really good eater, and loves his bottle. He also got his first two teeth this month. It was a little suprising for me, I wasn't expecting him to get teeth so soon! He is sleeping through the night (most of the time) which is a huge treat for both Matt and I!

Hope everyone is having a great summer and enjoying the great weather!
