Summer is here!

So I complained a bit because June was a little disappointing in the weather department...

It's hot.
Very hot.
We love it!
Only I don't love it when I am stuck inside with a killer sore throat and a hot wiggly boy.

We took a little trip down to Taber, just Euan and I.
We stayed at my Aunt's house and caught up with some cousins and their kids.
The trip started out a bit rough with a disastrous trip to Waterton and ended with mostly everyone getting a cold, but we had some fun in between! Playing outside and reminiscing about the good ol' days.

Waterton was windy and the first day it rained almost constantly. Me and my cousin Stephanie were tenting it with our two little boys who are about 4 months apart. Putting them to bed at the same time didn't work, Noah just watched while Euan screamed for Mama. So we put Noah down and he fell asleep, just as I was going to put Euan down a huge gust of wind picked up our tent and flipped it over...with Noah still inside. Luckily no one was hurt and we managed to stop the tent blowing away with the little guy inside. We lashed that sucker down more securely and went to bed with the boys since they were a little worked up. Well about an our or two later our tent was basically ripped apart at the seams so we spent the rest of the night in the camper with me, Euan, Stephanie and Noah all in one bed....not the best night sleep I've ever had. A lot of tents were deserted that night.
Oh and there were cougar warnings all over the town, and dire stories of deer being strewn about the campground by said cougars. They even had a golf cart full (and I mean FULL) of border collies that would chase the deer out of the town so the cougars wouldn't be tempted. I spent a whole evening reading up on cougar attacks when I got home. They are sneaky! I'm starting to think bears aren't half bad!

We spent the rest of the week relaxing and letting the boys play outside while we worked on our tans. Euan is such a water baby and would spend all his time immersed in any form of water all day long if he could (all of which are called "bath")

Ok so the pictures aren't really in order, some are instagram/iphone and some are off the camera.
Enjoy!

Sushi

So a while ago we decided to get Euan a pet. Since our first choice would be something furry, which we can't have since we are renting, we decided on a fish. We picked out a goldfish and named him Fin. Euan was decidedly uninterested. We had a huge vase that we were keeping him in but after a day he was at the top constantly blowing bubbles. I read it could be lack of oxygen in the water so we bought him a cheap fish tank with an oxygen pump. He lasted roughly one week before we found him very dead in his swanky fish palace...

So fast forward to a couple months later, me and Euan were taking a trip to Michaels to get some crafty supplies and it just happened to be next to the pet store. I couldn't let the fish tank go to waste... so this is how Sushi made it into our lives. This little Betta has some spunk! It is way better than a goldfish because it reacts when you come close to the tank, so all Euan has to do is point his pudgy finger at that little fish and he swims around and around, much to Euans delight. Euan can even say his name!(ok he says shoe-si or just shoes...but it's close enough)
So without further ado!
Sushi!

I could watch this fish swim around for ages, his tail is unreal...and his tank is bigger than it looks in this picture...

And in case fish aren't your thing...a couple of pictures of the boy.

 Stuuuuuuud Muffin!

 Dang paparazzi... 

Boy on a mission...

*side note...Euan received some hand-me-down crocs and because he can put them on himself he wears them a lot...I'm not a fan but I've succumb to the convenience, someone needs to invent an equally comfortable shoe that is more attractive.*

Not much.

We've not been up to much lately.
It's actually been really nice.
I love having people come stay, but being lazy is awesome too.
We've been to the park(on the rare sunny days, what's with that?!)
Chillin' in our kiddie pool.
A little bit of shopping...(they had puppies for sale outside of the mall and they were seriously CUTE, it took all my willpower not to sneak one home in my bag...)
Getting calls from concerned brothers in Taber who see the clouds swirling right above the house in a very menacing way.(TORNADO)
Crazy thunder storms.
Puddle jumping.
Hair cuts.
Trying to go as long as possible between grocery shopping trips....I HATE grocery shopping.
Impromptu dance parties, Euan has mastered the foot tap and hip thrust(its more like belly thrust)
General laziness and tomfoolery.
I haven't brought out the good camera for a while so iPhone pics will have to do.
Blogger is being uber dumb so pic descriptions can be found below...

Holiday Part 6

So are you bored yet?
Glenns boss has a couple rooms in a lodge in Fernie that she let us stay in for the last few days of our holiday. The weather was horrible but there was a pool and hot tub that made up for it. Glenn was on high alert for bears but the weather was far to rainy. Poor man has yet to see a bear.
Anyway. Here are the pics!
