Zack's Football Season

 Zack just finished up his first year of football. He loved playing and had a great season! He was #43 and played full back, tight end and kicker. He is a great player and improved so much over the season. He received the MVP for their last game, great job, Zack! Can't wait for next year!

Zack got quite a few touch downs, this one we were able to capture on video:

Happy Birthday, Zack!

 Happy 12th birthday to Zack!

We had a great day celebrating Zack! We went out for brunch, went shopping, made cupcakes, went out for dinner and he even managed to get a football practice in :)

Levi's First Football Game

Levi's first football game! It was so much fun to watch. Levi is #93 and he plays defensive back. He played so amazing in his very first game (ever!!) playing football.

 Levi had some amazing tackles and even caught an interception. Way to go, Levi!

They won! 14 - 5

One very happy boy after their first team win!

Back to School

 So thankful that we are back to school in person this year!

Levi is in Grade 10 & Zack in Grade 7.

(Jakob is taking a bit of time off, so no back to school pictures for him yet.)

Levi started a day before Zack, so this was his official first day of high school:

Next day, Levi and Zack both heading to school:

Zack's first day of Jr. high:

Looking forward to a great school year!

Jakob's 18th Birthday

 Happy 18th birthday to Jakob!

We had a great weekend celebrating Jakob's 18th birthday! On his actual birthday we went out for dinner to Earl's, went to the Rec Room to play some games and then back to our house for ice cream cake! I can't believe Jakob is 18!

Family party time! Jakob wanted a family party at the lake to celebrate his birthday. 

We spent some time by the water, seadooing, paddleboarding, tubing and hanging out together.

Then back to the cabin for a hot dog roast and cake.

Jakob with all his cousins & brothers:

Since we were all together, we took a few family pictures too;

Michael's 40th Birthday (Part 3 & 4)

Part 3... The party continues... Michael and a group of his friends went to Kelowna for a couple days to golf. They golfed 3 different courses in the Kelowna area:

Part 4... For the final birthday event, I met Michael in Kelowna for a couple of days. We spent 3 beautiful days walking around Kelowna, swimming, paddle boarding, exploring, wine tasting and a river float day with friends. It was great!

What an epic 40th birthday party the last 10 days has been!!

Happy birthday, Michael :)

Taste of Edmonton

 While Michael was in Kelowna with his friends, the boys, my parents and I went to Taste of Edmonton. 

We tried lots of yummy dishes!

Lots of fun with this silly group :)

Part two:

On the morning of Michael's actual birthday, we went golfing first thing in the morning:

Then Michael and I went downtown and stayed overnight at the new Marriott. It was so fun! We walked around downtown, ate at a nice restaurant, went out for brunch the next morning and then to the downtown farmers market. It was a great weekend celebrating Michael!
