June has started and with that so has summer plans and activities! No wonder the summer flies by so fast...I can't complain though as each and every activity and event I am looking forward to and grateful to be a part of!
Let's start with this past weekend here is a list of what we tackled in 2 days:
birthday party
1 shower/stagette for my wonderful aunt
1 shower for my beautiful friend Ashley
2 Swimming lessons
6 Soccer games
It was a fast paced weekend and I don't think I really sat down the whole time. My auntie Barb's Shower stagette was a blast! We went to this little underground restaurant, The Creperie, downtown Edmonton with a group of women from my family. If you haven't been there I would highly recommend it! From there we went her daughter, my cousin Danica's place for drinks!
Ashley's MIL (mother-in-law) held a shower at my place for Ashley on Saturday night! It was amazing and the food was to die for! She went all out, and put together a pretty special shower for a pretty special person! We had so much fun and I was extremely happy to meet Ashley's best friend Desi from Michigan (she now lives in Calgary with her hubby and adorable daughter).
Kira and Taylor both did excellent in this round of swimming lessons! They both passed onto the next level and they are so proud of themselves! Seeing the pride on their faces after they've worked hard on the skills and sometimes fears in the water is a beautiful thing!
Then there was soccer...The girls both had their first soccer tournament. Taylor is in girls U6 (the Green Lizards) and Kira is in Little Kickers (the Purple Dinosaurs). It was so much fun for us to watch them play. Both of them had 3 games each and they did amazing! There were so many firsts for them. First tournament, first team picture and firs metal! They were so, so excited to receive a metal from their coaches. We're so proud of them!
This week is pretty low key....but not for long...This coming weekend is my aunts wedding and the girls are flower girls! I am so excited to see them all dress up and walking down the isle.
Then on the 15th the girls and I are heading to Manitoba to see my Grandparents and attend my cousin's wedding. We're retuning on the 25th. Home for 3 days and then on the 29th we're off to Rocky Mountain House for our annual July Long camping trip. This year will mark 10 years that this group of friends have been renting a big group site and spending the holiday weekend together. The kids are starting to out numbering the adults! We return home on July 2nd and turn around and leave for our wonderful friends Nate and Ashley wedding in Michigan! We're gone from the 3rd till the 9th. We are leaving the kids behind for this trip, so it will be a nice break!
Phew...! I'm tired just thinking of it all....but so excited to get this summer started in so many amazing ways. We are so blessed!
