July 24/10 Bowling & Storms!

On July 24/10 Zach bowled for the first time ever! We went to a bowling place in Sherwood Park to celebrate another 3rd birthday...for Zach's friend Emery. Zach could not get enough of bowling and told everyone how he "knocked pencils down". He did very well for his first time. (It helped that they have bumpers on the side so the balls do not go into the gutters.)

The theme of the party was Curious George, which fit Zach of course to a tee, for I still call him my Monkey!

The video below is of his first shot. Of course I was excited as you will hear!

Then after we got home from bowling...some freaky clouds moved in over the Fort

Busy July

Hello! July has been a busy month of birthday parties, thunderstorms & Edmonton's Capital Ex. I will be posting pics & videos in the next few days to show you all the excitement!

First off are pics from birthday parties for Zach's little friends Kaylyn (in June) and Maliah (in July). Bot celebrations were held at the Harbor Pool but we only used the pool at Maliah's party.

Canada Day Part 2!

Canada Day!

Canada Day was a lot of fun! I took Zach to the Canada Day breakfast at the Royal Canadian Legion. The breakfast is served by our local firefighters. Then we went to the parade where he got a BIG bag of candy & freezies. Next year I am going to bring a pillowcase...it was like Halloween! Zach was very well behaved waiting for the parade to start. It was a little chilly, but by the end, it was a very nice day. We continued to walk around all the activites in downtown Fort Sask and visited Grandpa at the Elk's bbq stand where he was helping out. I let Zach miss his nap since he was being so good. We finished off the day with an ice cream cone for Zach and a slushy for me. Zach was exhausted in the evening and got to be a bit teary-eyed. I am looking forward to next year where I'm sure Zach will have even more fun!

Catching Up

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! I am behind on posting pics. (Sorry Carolyn). Here are some pics from the last several weeks including Zach "driving" Daddy's jeep; visiting Brian at NAIT on his last day at school; and playing his drum like he was in a marching band.
