Looking Back...

i actually posted this on June 20th....I felt it was worth another look...Sometimes when I am having a rough day-like today, I like to remind myself of the important stuff in life, the things that give me joy..Looking back on the way God has blessed me helps me to be more positive about whatever is bothering me in the now.....

Sometimes life is kind of crazy...
Today I was thinking about how only 2 years ago, if anyone had told me that I was going to have another baby, I would have laughed at them....
Having a baby was definitely NOT in the cards for us at all. Kendal and I had been married almost ten years, and raised three teen girls before we realized that maybe we did want another baby after all...and now, I can't imagine life without Jeremy! Even all the dirty diapers, and no-sleep nights are worth while..I would do it all over again if I had the choice to make..and not only do we have Jeremy, we are actually considering another one in a year or so!!!
Life sure throws us some curve balls!
Fortunately, once in a while...they are good ones!

Jeremy's first time in the lake....

The Buffalo Days Parade....

Here is Jeremy being stabbed by a pirate....

Here are some pictures we took of the Buffalo Day Parade....We had some cool moments, but overall we were pretty disappointed...Parades just aren't what they used to be....Mostly it is just advertising now, and barely anyone really puts a lot of effort into their floats. They also don't hand out candy anymore which they used to do....but I guess it kind of puts a damper on things when a kid gets run over by a horse....The weather was pretty nice this year though...

Bree wants to join the armed forces and become a pilot,
so she wanted her picture taken with this guy.....

Talon plays at Grandma's house..

Jeremy likes the grass...

Rider Pride!

There are a couple of us BC imports who were busy being taught some Rider Pride this last Sunday....I have to be honest....I never even followed football until the last year...(I am ducking from the tomatoes now...) However, it is really hard to not get involved when most of Saskatchewan turns up wearing green every game, whether or not they actually show up at the game...and even if you don't follow the score, you hear it anyways! I love Saskatchewan's Rider Pride! We have some of the best fans in all of Canada! (Sorry BC!)

My daughter Bree was very thankful to be given a ticket to go with some of her friends to the Labor Day Classic, which is probably one of the most coveted games (aside from Grey Cup) It was sold out, so she has no idea how lucky she was!

Bree and Jeremy dressed for the labor Day Classic!

We even went as far as to buy Jeremy a little Rough Riders outfit! He was sooooo cute!




TOUCHDOWN!


Oh, and by the way......for those who are living on another planet and don't know this yet....the Rough Riders kicked butt, scoring an awesome touchdown in the last seconds of the game.....i believe(correct me if I am wrong) that makes us the best in the Western Division? Rock on Riders!

Fall seems early!

Maybe it is just me, but it seems that fall is hitting us a little early this year! These pictures were taken at Wascana Park on Sept. 1st, and there were already trees gone completely yellow!






Here are the girls goofing around, pretending to be doing an Herbal Essence Commercial!

TJ and Brandy!
