Leffers Family 2013

We hired a high school friend of mine to do a photo shoot while we were in Nova Scotia. I was so happy with the pictures. We had the photoshoot in my favorite place in the world...the beach in River John. No wonder we all look so happy and just so you know...that man that I'm kissing...my husband...I love him so much for working so hard so that we could all go to Nova Scotia to see our family!!! We flew to NS on our 9 year anniversary. It was so neat to be flying to NS with our five children nine years after we got married there. FYI: we may have met in the Dominican but we really fell in love when Ken came to NS to visit me 1.5 years after we met. Then we got engaged at the cottage beach and got married at the cottage beach. It is a very special place to me and to us and it was so neat to take the kids there and make it their special place too!

July thus far...

Bought a pool, what a lifesaver.

Wiener roast at Auntie Ang's.

Andrew went to Edm. with his Dad to visit cousins while Ken worked. These two bonded. I found them sleeping like this one night when I went to check on them.

Candy Parade with aunties and cousins.

Love Isaac's face. He was in awe the whole parade.

Typical sight in Southern Alberta. A family of Hutterites taking in the festivities.

One of our hail storms.

Front row seats to storm watch.

Andrew in his new attire that he got for his birthday. There is something about boys and dirtbikes/ quads and gear. I found the race pants at the thrift store months ago. He was so excited to get them.

Water rat.

Guns and tonka truck and a tough girl!

Andrew in swimming lessons.

Sam working hard at overcoming his fear of getting his face wet.

Quadding at the farm. We will sure miss this place. Ken's parents are moving into town.

Just a few of July's highlights. Stay tuned for our trip to Nova Scotia!

Andrew and Noah's 8th Birthday

Andrew and Noah had a combined birthday party again this year. We rented the town outdoor pool and invited their class plus some cousins. It was a beautiful hot day.

Brothers hanging out.

Cousin Andi and Luke.

Auntie Ang helping entertain Emma.

Daddy and Isaac.

Even Karina (Edm.) and Logan made it, plus auntie Den.

Seth and Luke getting into trouble and probably giggling like crazy.

Emma and Handsome Jesse hanging out in the wagon.

Andrew got a new bike for his birthday and I also found him some motocross pants at the thrift store. He was super excited. Now he's all decked out in the gear to ride their quad. At their pool party we did a toonie party so he used his money to buy this used helmet. 

Emma almost there

Guess who is pretty much walking at 15 months?
