Well, it's been a busy summer, and I've tried my best as far as blogging goes. We have had a lot of fun this summer, and I am sad to say that our summer is almost over, then back into the routine of school etc. Recent events include a family picnic (with my bro's and sis's and parents etc), going out to the movies and dinner with Sue and Carrie, Lake Sikome with the Sherlocks, Prairie Winds splash park, girls night, date with Grant to Baby Tooth Bambino's for dinner and going to see the new Balzac Mall that just opened, fun in the sprinklers, and the list goes on. Lots of fun, friends, family and memories. I'm too tired to dish out more details, but figured I should post again. A few side notes to post..Kaitlyn has been developing her interest in cooking. I have been letting her help me cook dinners and bake. Who knows, maybe one day I won't have to cook, haha! She's been doing really well and is eager to create her own recipes. Damian's baptism is creeping up on us. His 8th b-day is on Sept. 17th and we will be having his baptism on October 17th (Marcus will be home from his mission and will be able to attend with Grant's parents who will be flying out). McKenna is enjoying the freedom of summer, and has chosen to go into swimming lessons in the fall instead of gymnastics. Kaitlyn will also be taking swimming lessons. Damian is going to continue on in gymnastics though. Catcher is excited for his first day of Kindergarten coming up very soon. He will be in afternoon Kindergarten (his cousin Ethan will be in the afternoon as well at the same school, but a different class). Maiya is very eager to grow up. We've been giving Catcher a little more freedom here and there to grow up and feel like a big boy, and Maiya is insisting she be able to do all of the things the big kids do. Tyson is a bit of a tornado at the moment (his mission is to search and destroy) but he is also such a light in our house. Always smiling and making everyone laugh. He will be 2 years old on September 13th and we will be having a family party for him. Well, I think I will leave my update on this note. I really wish summer wasn't ending just yet, I LOVE it so much!
