good old Saskatchewan!

I took quite a few pictures of all five of my kids together- just looking for "the one"- a great picture, and this is what I get. silly faces, never all looking at the same time- I guess if I take enough, that one should come along sometime, right? I hope so! I guess I will haveto keep trying. maybe that will be enough of a threat to get them all to look decent- if you don't look at the camera and smile, I will keep taking pictures for a long, long time! haha.
my two sweet girls posed for me by a cool wall, in a small town that had a super fun thrift store. the wall actually had lots of stripes of different colors all along it, although you can't tell by these pictures!

I have always wanted to stop by this barn that was covered in graffiti. mostly names, but sadly none of them were my kids names. I thought that would be cool to get their picture by their name on the wall- but no luck. maybe next time I'll bring along some spray paint! kidding.


I attempted the jumping shot. kind of fun. Maggie loved it and wanted to keep jumping and jumping. good times. Oh, Saskatchewan. your wide open plains. your fun sand hills- but that crazy wind that was blowing the sand in our eyes was not fun. I didn't pull out my camera there- I think Cory would have hung me if I did. the last time we were there- about eight years ago, I changed my film in the sand hills, and my camera was never the same. you could just hear the sand grinding in it. not good.
Leanne and I bought some peaches and canned them- so delicious. Cory said he wants about a hundred more cans of those for our food storage. hmm. do you think I can get him to help can the two cases I bought today? they should be ready to can on Monday. I hope. so delicious. crazy mess of work though.
the gang in SK got me hooked on So You Think You Can Dance, and then we had to head home just when the finale started. crazy. fun show. fun to watch it with a big crew. fun to get together with family. must do it again soon- oh, wait, we are! family reunion next weekend. good times continue!

Awww, I really like the top pic. I think it is so sweet when the big brother holds the baby.
I also love that SWEET barn!!! Way way rad. You totally SHOULD bring spray paint next time.
Yes, I always tell Brett when I am eating yummy canned peaches to remind that it's worth it the next time we are canning them.
p.s. I guess you'd better come stay the night again, cause I just ate the last chocolate bar today. ;)
