Happy Father's Day, Phil!

Happy Father's Day to the best Dad in the world!

Phil asked Lucy who her favourite Dad was. I tried to get him by whispering to her "Grandpa" but she didn't bite and replied with exactly what Daddy wanted to hear. Then Charlie asked her who her favourite Mom was and guess what she said? Grandma. Little trouble maker...

And another one from Lucy. Today, we went out to lunch and she saw two men walk in. She greeted them with a "Hi Mens!" Followed by, "Are you strangers?"

Check out Chloe's expression. She sure doesn't like Charlie invading her personal space...

Happy Birthday Charlie!!!

With his cake before the party.

Charlie wanted a Hawaiian themed party this year so he picked a Volcano cake, Pool Party at the base gym, followed by pizza and a movie in the theatre.






Charlie brought the underwater camera along and had lots of fun taking pictures of his friends.









Lunch after the swim, Hawaiian pizza, of course.

The cake is erupting! Thanks to sparkler candles and dry ice...

The Birthday Boy!
Time for presents...

Peyton's gift was a huge hit - he's spent a lot of hours playing Wii!

More fun gifts! Thanks Everyone!

Last Day of Preschool...in Winnipeg

Lucy's class had a party on the last day of preschool.

Sibling were invited to join them so Chloe made sure to get some snacks...

Garden of the Gods

On our last day in Colorado, we drove an hour south of Denver to Colorado Springs to visit the Garden of the Gods.
The towering red rocks are stunning, especially with sunny blue skies.

You can't see it, but there were tons of rock climbers scaling these steep rocks. Charlie figured he could easily do it too.
Making sure Lucy is looking at the camera.

And little sister #2
