Madison Turns 9

Madison turned 9 today, how time flys. She started the day by opening up a gift from Alexander, Quinlan and Rebekah. It was a monkey webkinz that she has been wanting for a long while now. She was so Happy. Eric and I gave her an IOU to redo her bedroom for her...gone are the fishes and turtles :)

After supper of Tuna casserole (her choice) Gramma, Nanna, Dbis, Megan, Rich, Grampa came over for some cake. I made the cake in about and hour and half this afternoon, as we had a minor flooding issue in our kitchen this morning. I totally forgot to get licorice for the strings, but all in all I think it turned out quite well.

Madison got another webkinz, the one for the Month of October..he is a cute little frog, she also got pants, a skirt, a couple shirts, a 3rd paper folding art project and a gift certificate for Michaels to get scrapbook stuff! She went to bed a very happy young lady!

One more year and I have 2 kids in the double digits!

Camping

This is a slide show of our camping trip to MacGregor Point in Port Elgin. The kids had fun while we were away and we got some nice snap shots of the trip. Too bad the sun wasn't out while were at the beach.
This is my first attempt at adding a slide show and it should have been posted in the Camping blog down further. As I get more aquainted with this program things will look better.

A Nice Sunday Afternoon!

Quinn, Rebekah, Samantha, Nikki, D'bis, Mason, Snickers and I decided to go for a nice long walk near the River. After Dbis got stuck in the mud it was time to go to gramma's house to wash the Dogs and Dbis off. While the adults were doing that, the kids decided to play in the pond and see if Gramma had any frogs left. Samantha and Bekah were pointing out where the frog was for Quinn to grab.

Here they are with their "catch of the day!" also Quinn getting a froggy kiss!

Bekah has gone from just looking and maybe touching to being able to hold the frog. Quinn is so at home with picking up the frogs and catching them bare handed and with a net.

It was a fun way to spend a nice Sunday afternoon.

Camping

On Monday August 20th, the kids and I went camping with my sister Megan. We went for 2 nights. We went to MacGregor point in Port Elgin. The weather wasn't the greatest for being on the beach but it didn't rain either.

The boys had a tent for just them and the girls went into the bigger tent with Megan and I.

The Park was beautiful! The kids had fun down by the lake taking in the views. Rebekah and Quinn did very well camping for their very first time. I think they were a bit afraid of the public bathrooms but it was an adventure.

Here Bekah is hugging and kissing a tree, while the rest of us are setting up camp.
