Summer's here!

Summer has arrived and the boys are having a blast staying cool!

Lots of giggles hanging out at Auntie Shari's with all the kids in the pool!

Back at home Rory is testing out his jumping and splashing techniques!

A little later on Rory is helping his dinosaurs stay cool with a little target practice with the water shooter!

"Look out everybody!!" Is cool dude Cam's favourite pool side saying.

We were lucky to have a visit with Grammie and Grandpa and spent the morning at one of favourite spots at Fish Creek!

Everyone is searching for the biggest rock to throw - Grandpa usually wins and 'ahhhs' the boys with his gigantic throws across the pond!

Cam is always up for cuddles with Grammie!!

But he still enjoys his exploring and climbing.

Thanks for the visit Grammie and Grandpa - can't wait to see again soon!!!

Grandpa spotted a deer in the woods - he definitely has the height advantage!!

You'll have to look closely to spot it!

Our cheeky cheeky monkeys!!!

Hoping everyone is having super summer fun!!

Congrats Rory!

Congrats Rory!!

A big congrats to Rory on his preschool graduation - next up Kindergarten in September.

Way to go mate - we are so proud of all of your accomplishments this year!!  

Chugga chugga chugga

An Augustine tradition is to visit the Supertrain Show every year - we almost missed it this year, but managed an early morning visit.

All smiles for a seat on the little red caboose!! 

Thumbs up from Conductor Rory!

The boys had a blast climbing all around the mini version of the CP trains.

Cam and daddy checking out some of the really small model trains.  Cam always spots the diggers and construction vehicles everywhere -even at a train show!

Waiting patiently for the American Steam Train!

A friendly wave to good ole Thomas.

The boys had a blast again this year at the Supertrain show! 

Happy Birthday Rory!!!

Happy 5th Birthday Rory!!!

It's hard to believe that our little man Rory turned 5 years old today! Five years ago our lives changed for ever - we have been grateful for all the adventures, smiles, cuddles and giggles Rory has brought to our lives. We celebrated Rory's special day with a night in the mountains - swimming, water slides, hot tubs and a kids indoor play area. A favourite dinner of nachos and a brownie sundae for dessert on our return.  

Our little superheroes! 

A very quick walk at one of our favourite spots. We were chased out by a crazy spring snow storm!

Thank you for all the birthday wishes. We are truly lucky to have such special friends and wonderful families to make the day even more memorable for Rory and us as a family.

Still here....

A beautiful mild and sunny morning....the boys and I ventured to a new hiking spot.

Little legs need lots of rest and snack stops.

The boys hiked for almost 3 km! They did awesome and we definitely will be heading back to this spot!

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

The pumpkin carving - sloppy pumpkin goo!

Rory was an awesome pumpkin scooper outer!! 

Mum and Rory dressed as a pirate duo to attend Rory's school Halloween party! AARRRGGHHH maties!!

Just heading out Trick or Treating! Cam as the wee pirate and Rory as a piece of Lego.

A beautiful night for a little trick or treating with the boys!

Wishing you a spooktacular Halloween!!!! May your night be filled with lots of treats!!

A mountain escape..

An afternoon of raking and playing in the last of the leaves.

Where's Rory? 

Last weekend we all had a fantastic time in the mountains.  We walked along the streets of Banff, explored Lake Louise and went back to some of our favourite spots.

A cheeky Rory on Banff Ave.

Listening to the roar of Bow Falls.

A long walk to the top, with Banff Springs Hotel in the background.  Cam loved walking up all the steps and down them too!

A drizzly, cool walk round the lake at Lake Louise. Kids loved it despite the weather. 

A small speck of blue sky.

One of our favs near Banff - Cascade Ponds.

Always time for rock throwing!

A tired out Cam contemplating those beautiful peaks.

Our last morning in the mountains ended with another favourite - Quarry Lakes. The lake was like a mirror!

Monkey see, monkey do!

The boys playing in the long grass. It was a spectacular morning for a walk.
