On May long weekend we went to the city for our friends Lindsay and Rob's wedding. It was a very nice wedding. I would have enjoyed it a lot more if we wouldn't have had Brandon with us. Oh well, I'm so happy for them and was glad to be able to share their special day with them.
In less than two weeks I fly to Ontario for my youngest sister's wedding. I'm looking forward to it and am extremely excited that the whole family is going to be together. My Mom, all eight sisters, 7 bothers-in-law (counting the groom), and the 27
grandchildren. Anyway it is going to be a blast. I'm sure that the boys will enjoy playing with their cousins. They don't have any cousins close by, which really is too bad.
This week has been a crazy one. On the weekend some of us were starting to get sick and then by Monday all five of us were sick with a
respiratory cold. So there has been a ton of coughing going on, and I haven't had a voice for the last three days. This is the first time that it has ever
happened to me and it is very annoying to me and to people who have to try and listen to me. At least it has really made me appreciate the fact that normally I can talk, it is a lot easier raising the boys with a voice, now I can only glare at them when they are misbehaving.

Doug's birthday was the next day so we had cake for dessert.

In January my friend had twins girls. When they were almost a month old we went to visit them. Anson and Cameron for the most part just wanted to play with their older brothers, yet they did get a chance to hold one of them. Anson was disappointed that I didn't get a picture of him with one of them.
I'm not sure who Cameron is holding here. They look so much alike.
The weather outside has been unseasonable warm, and on one of such day Doug, and I were able to go golfing with some friends. It was a lot of fun.
After golfing we had a BBQ out on the river. There were three September birthdays in the group so we had some cake.
Anson also celebrated his 7Th birthday this month. The football from Micah was his favourite gift.
On Saturday Doug and I left the boys with some family and friends, and took off to hang out with some of our wonderful friends. The guys did 18 holes of golf and us ladies got to do some shopping, (mostly window shopping) and mini golf. At the end of the day we all met together for supper at this really nice restaurant. We had a super great time and are thankful for the good friends in our lives.

The weekend before Christmas we had the pleasure of getting together with Doug's childhood friend Dan and his family. It was neat to be able to get to know his wife and daughter better and to finally meet his little boy. We are really going to enjoy having them living closer and getting together more often.
Our Friend Lindsay came for a visit from Alberta. She took the time to hang out with Anson and Cameron. They played with lego, and did some finger painting. Needless to say the boys are quiet fond of her, and we really appreciate her as well.
