First Day of School

Grade 8, 5 & 2... here we come!

Last Day of Summer Holidays

We spent our last day of summer holidays at the beach. We had the beach to ourselves and it was great! Perfect way to finish off the summer:

Jakob's Birthday Celebrations

We had a lot of fun celebrating Jakob's 13th birthday. On his birthday we went out for dinner to 97 Hot Pot. It was super yummy! Jakob loved it and is looking forward to going back again.

The day after his actual birthday, we had a family party at our house. 

I made (with Levi's help) a candy/chocolate/gum cake for Jakob. He was surprised and very happy :)

Sneaking a little bite of the licorice:

On the wall we put up a big 13 out of pictures of Jakob from birth to now. So many great pictures of our cutie!

Jakob requested bacon cheeseburgers for his party. He took full advantage of it and made a double burger with 8 pieces of bacon! 

Oliver, Alex & Levi cuddled on the chair watching Jake open his gifts:

Chocolate caramel birthday cake with 13 (!!!) candles:

Jakob received a new adult sized bike for his birthday!

13! Seriously, how did that happen? Our boy is really growing up.

We love you Jakob and are so proud of the young man you are becoming :) Happy Birthday!

Redtail Landing BBQ & Mini Golf

The boys did that golf camp at Redtail Landing a couple of weeks ago and then they had their wrap up BBQ last Sunday afternoon. We went out to the golf course for the BBQ, games and a round of mini putt golf. The boys have become pretty good little golfers!

Zack's Tennis Camp

Zack did a tennis camp at the beach club again this year and he loved it. His class was small, so he got to play and practice a lot. He had a great week!
