Old fashion Picture

Here  is a picture that was taken at Fort Edmonton Park

it took all we had to get her to put on the dress

and then it was a fight to get it off her.

Libby: I was wearing a beautiful princess dress

and holding beautiful flowers.

I was wearing a hat!!

4th of July

We have our Traditions for the weekend of the fourth. 

We go with Brittany's family to see the "stadium of fire" fireworks.  We BBQ before hand and then go take our seats across from the hospital and watch the wonderful fireworks show.

usually the holiday is spent with Brittany's moms side of the family since they live close.  Her aunt has 3 little girls one Libby's age and 2 a bit older.  they found it lots of fun to make Marshall the Guinea pig.

 

 The best is the look on Marshall's face through this whole experience.  The Little girls laughed for the 2 hours we were there.

So the next day we got up and headed to church and then got packed up and took off to the family property to meet up with Marshall's family for Sunday dinner and camping.

We got up there and roasted marshmallows, took the 4 wheelers for a small ride.  we played cards after kids went to bed. And got eaten alive by mosquito's.  the weather was perfect for camping.  over cast, cooler, and not hot.  my kind of weather.

Our Very old (with a bathroom though) trailer, Britt, and Libby getting ready for our ride.  Waiting for dad to get on so we can enjoy the nice weather.   Libby really does look cute in her helmet. 

Pictures from graduation

Graduation in May was really exciting in My family.  Both my brothers and Marshall were set to graduate all together. 

So here are the pictures.

Both my brothers graduated from the same school and these are pictures at their ceremony

My mom Cynthia,Brother Lance, Marshall, Brother Joe, My dad Eldon

Marshall made the choice to Not walk this time around, so we borrowed my brothers cap and gown for pictures sake.  (because I wanted the pictures)  He is planning to walk in 2013 with his masters degree.  I will gets lots of pictures then. for now fake ones will do.

Vacation part 2

We spent the day at an indoor amusement park. We rode the train 3 times, the cars 4, the carousel 1, the balloons 1.  We had a fun time and it was even more fun because it was free ( Libby was under 3).

the next day we went to Lake Louise and Rode a Gondola up the mountain to see the wonderful sites.  I don't think it was as amazing as everyone says it is.  I figure its because we see beautiful mountains on a daily basis at home.  it made me ready for my mountains.  We figured out that neither Marshall or I like heights, or circles very much on this vacation.  I am glad we have a few more years before we are planning on taking a family vacation to Disney Land.

 

 

Our treat after the amusement park. It tasted so good!

Our First Big Family vacation

We have been planning and saving for this wonderful trip for 9 months.  We really had a lot of fun.  The Trip was mainly planned to see my grandma who is 91.  But we got to see a ton of my cousins as a perk because she lives so far away.  We drove way to much ate out way too many times, and spent way too many nights not sleeping.  We did however truly enjoy our time that we spent together as a family and meeting up with all my family.

Here are a few of the pictures from our adventures.
