June Celebrations

 Andrew and his buddy Noah at Sports Day. They giggled like crazy and had lots of fun.
 Luke is just like his mama super tickleous neck. He couldn't stop laughing when they were doing leap frog.
 One weekend Ken and I lined up babysitters for the kids so we could go househunting again. Sam went to the Demolition Derby with His buddies and he actually won the draw prize a bike and helmet. He was so excited and his friends that he stayed with generously gave the bike to Sam as a going away gift.
 Lukey graduated from kindergarten. He worked really hard and made so many friends.
 His class ceremony.

Receiving his diploma.
 Thrift store project for Emma's new room.

 25 and counting team won 1st place in our 20 mile relay race in the coulees. Next year I really hope that they will hold my spot so I can go back for the weekend and run again.
 Luke turned 6 this month.
Emma our little mermaid. 
 Luke got his own Bible for his birthday among other gifts. Now the three oldest can all use their own Bibles.
 Isaac completed preschool and they had a presentation and icecream social.  
 He has really come a long way this year and we are so proud of him.
This was his teacher aid whom he adored. She was actually Sam's and Luke's teacher aid for them in preschool too. We will miss her.

This and That till the end of May

 This is our new car " Blueberry". Standard and fun to  zip around in. We sold the van and bought a car to save money on gas.
 This is our new church in Edmonton. It is right next to the school Ken will be Vice Principal at.
 
On one of our house shopping trips we took the four boys along and showed them the new school. They were quite excited when they saw the playground.
 This is he school. K - 12 Approximately 280 students. Coaldale had 165 so it will be quite different for the kids with bigger classes etc.
It rained a lot in May and June in Coaldale. Lots of people in our neighborhood had flooding in their basements. Thankfully we didn't which could of messed up the sale of our home...

Girls shopping trip minus 1 of the girls!

 Baby Chelsea 5 weeks old came along this year and got lots of snuggles.
 Mels' awesome van.
 Tuckered out!
 upside down and scary facemasks!!
Hot tub time lasted 10 minutes. There was tons of screaming kids playing in the pool, not so relaxing!

Park outing with Aunite Mel and her ducklings....

 One beautiful day in May Mel and I took her 5 kiddos and my 3 youngest on a trip to the wetlands.
 Lots of baby geese swimming with their mamas.
 I had to chuckle at the baby geese following their mama's while our little ones stayed close to us too.
 After a big hike around the lake we came across all these turtles sunbathing.
 So neat, I bet we saw at least 20 of them.
 Then our explorers headed down another trail.
 We ended up at the playground at Indian Battle park for a picnic lunch.
 Emma was not impressed that her cousin Jason wouldn't move on the slide.
The end!
