June

 

Bedroom window view of my freshly planted flowers. You should see them now! I'll do a comparison picture in a future post. Its AWESOME!

Passed my glucose tolerance test. I was going to be good and stop eating sugar anyway just to see if I could ever have a 7 lb baby...but I didn't. : /  Here's hoping my baby isn't more than Addie was! Don't really want to push out another 9 lber. But is it worth a whole summer's food fun for those few seconds/minutes of pain? I guess we will see!!!!

Justin in his happy place. Tending the strawberries and raspberries that both gave us a great yield this year! I thought the clouds just looked amazing in this picture! They were even better in person.

I snuck away to Calgary for a night to reunite with my long lost Edmonton friends, 2 of which just moved back to Alberta after being gone for 2 and 4 years! It was SO FUN. Here's a pic of me and my buddy Cassie who was due a month before me. She let me buy the same shirt as her. :) Thanks Cass. So we had to take a twinsie pic. Nice photobomb Tarilyn.

Baby Belly bumping. Oh, and I cut bangs! Love them until they get too long and thick. Gotta stay on top of them!

 

We stayed up way too late eating, dancing, playing, lip syncing, and being crazy. Maren was the only one to take pictures and she posted these on Facebook! This one cracked me up so hard! Such a flattering shot of Jordana and I. ;) Love you Jordana!!!!!

 

And Here is what we spent the most time on...so fun! We are HAPPY!!!

And it was father's day! I am blessed with 3 of the best fathers in the world, really. I've learned so much from each of them and really admire them.

We had a lot of sister pictures in June. :) Flower girls.

Look at that admiration. :)

Doing hair. I see this as only the beginning of lots of fun for these 3 girls.

The end product. Pigtails galore!

Another day we did sponge curlers. Of course Addie wanted them too! They didn't last 'til the morning on her, but she loved being one of the girls!

 

We had TONS of rain mid June. The creek got so fast and so high and flooded over in areas. Here are a few shots of the floods.

Check out that RIVER. That's Lee's Creek! It is SO low now. Weird to see pictures like this and imagine that much water flowing through.

Pretty high! Right up to the bridge. 

Justin and the kids and I snuck down to Echo Lake for 2 days to help get it ready for the season. Really Justin did all the work. I was SO excited to see MY FAVORITE canola fields in bloom!!!! I love the vibrant colors. I LOVE SUMMER!

And how relaxing and beautiful is this??! I love Echo Lake.

And Addie caught her first fish! You can barely see it on the end there, but we were casting and she got one! Good work Ads! :)

Mount Everett at 30 weeks!!!

The beginning of our amazing strawberries! They were seriously so delicious.

Addie thinks so! Right out of the patch. Amazing texture, not acidic or anything just soft and sweet!

And this was just the beginning. We got bucket loads like this every few days for a few weeks.

The kids were SPOILED with cousins starting at the end of June. First we had Julie and her girls come. Addie, Anne, and Faye were ADORABLE together. They are just 3 weeks apart. Addie still asks, "Where's Anne an' Faye?" She just wants to play with them! I really wish they lived closer.

 All the kids lined up on the (NEW!) couch for a Family Home Evening. Robbie taught them all the 10 Commandments using each finger for the appropriate commandment. :) It was amusing.
