Cheese........

My niece Maddie is about to move into the Toddler room with Mackenzie and joined in the fun!!!!! Jenn and Jason were wondering why Maddie's poop was green...hmmmmm, I wonder!!!!

What!! A picture of all four of us?????

With a little help from Auntie Shelley we were able to get a decent picture of our family...I'm finally in a picture instead of the one always behind the camera!!!

Cousins......

These two little munchkins get along way too well. Whenever Jackson and Cameron are together this is the usual picture...laughing and having a lot of fun.

Backyard fun....waterguns and swimming in the hot tub!!

Last weekend Nana, Papa and Cameron came for a visit and to watch Daddy play ball. We had a great time hanging out at the ball park, playing in the backyard, going to the park and eating Nana's yummy chocolate chip cookies!!!!!

Big girl....growing up way too fast!!!!!

At the park...

While Nana and Papa were watching Jayson play ball the kids and I headed to a couple of parks and had a great morning climbing and sliding.

splish...splash

Last weekend Mackenzie had her first solo ride in her little turtle pool....she loved every minute of it and screamed her head off when it was time to be "all done"!!

Jayson's Provincials...for theHodgson Brothers!!

Boyz, I know you haven't seen your big bro in action so here are a couple of

pictures your dad took of him "in action" at 3rd base. They didn't win provincials but had a lot of fun and a few beers trying.

Hangin' in the H.T. with Daddy...

This evening was finally nice enough to spend outside. Mackenzie took her first 'dip' in the hot tub. She wanted to do everything her big brother was doing. Looks like we have another fish in the family.

Camping in the Crowsnest Pass

For July long weekend we packed up the family and the camper and headed out for one hell of a long drive...11 hours 2 min and 35 sec. to be exact from our door to Coleman Alberta for Wilber Ellis' annual summer camping party!!! The trip was a long one but well worth it. We had a great time catching up with everyone, partaking in a few beverages and watching a wonderful fireworks display put on by Jayson's work. There was the 'passing of the guard' with the new boyz providing the evenings entertainment (cuz all the old ones have to be responsible -- they now have young children). Jackson and Mackenzie had blast playing out doors and getting the chance to stay up later than usual (it's hard to get kids to sleep in a camper when the sun doesn't want to go down)!!! On the Sunday we then packed up once again and headed to Drumheller for a few days to camp and visit the Royal Tyrrell Museum and all the Dinosaurs!!

Then our trip came to an abrupt end and we had to go back to work...yuk!!!

Having one of many snacks

Fernie in the summer

Jackson hitting the trails with his truck...he spent the majority of his time doing exactly this...and saying 'hi' to everyone.

Our visit to the Royal Tyrrell Museum

More Royal Tyrrell Museum

This exhibit Jackson is playing with was made with the help from Uncle Jason. He did all the electrical components for the interactive dinosaur head. you press buttons on the head of the dinosaur and it lights up and in the case infront it explains facts about the animal...too cool!! way to go Uncle Jason!!!

Watch out Daddy...Triceratops is going to eat you!!!
