check check....is this thing on?

What, don't look at me like that!  You're acting like I just took 1st place as flakey mother of the year that likes to randomly fall off the face of the earth for months at a time for no apparent reason. BUT, that is where you would be wrong. I have a very legit reason for neglecting my one form of family documentation for extended periods of time. Duh, my three week visit to Canada turned into a two and a half month visit obviously... surprised you didn't know that. So I clearly am only in like 3rd place for flaky mother of the year and I can live with that. I also don't want any snide comments like  "don't they have computers is Canada?" said in kind of a high pitched voice oozing with sarcasm or "last family trip we took I blogged everyday so as not to get behind" said very matter of factly because you probably also update your facebook status every hour as well and there's a special place for your type that I have no interest in. 

I must admit however that I am slightly overwhelmed at the amount of photos I'm sorting through so I think the best way to get through these is to just break it down. So here are 10 Fun events/thought it was a cute picture of our summer in Canada   

We went to my friend Lindsay Petersons farm in Welling which was a good financial move on our part because they pretty much thought they were in Disney Land the most magical place on earth so I think I'm going to really fuel that fire and every time the word Disney Land gets brought up I'm going to yell YES lets go to the Farm!!!!

We went on a little family canoe ride. I guess it's been a while since I've been in a canoe because I found it terrifying!!! Every tiny movement felt like the whole boat was going to flip..Matthew didn't call me a spaz or baby or dramatic drama queen every time I screamed or shuttered or clutched the children dramatically the whole leisurely ride..

     Bridge Reunion 2010! So So much fun!!!!

Mia and Laken we're besties the whole week

I always talk about how amazing my niece Aspen is but she really is dreamy...don't look at Jessie he'll ruin for you..

Beckham and Track we're either hugging or attacking each other the WHOLE summer it was great

I kid you not Johnny slept like this for hours I almost teared up it looked so painful his feet are dangling!!!

I asked them what they we're doing and they said they need some sun

Mia made a club called "The Mia Club" she proceeded to write her name all over them in black marker..it the best

Jamie made the BEST doughnuts I have EVER tasted

A lot of casual leisure time

Poor tired boy this was in the middle of a game where everyone was yelling

This slide was the most entertaining thing I have watched in quite some time

Fudge..

I thought Tatum would want to frame this or something

Um, not 1 not 2 not 3 or 4 times did Matthew go down the slide on his feet for me to capture the "perfect shot" seriously it's rather endearing

Parades!

Of course there were several trips to Waterton the most beautiful place on earth

Okay so actually what I meant by the top ten events was as many as I just did and then  a whole bunch more smashed together that don't have a category other than I liked the picture. I doubt I'm even going to put captions under them because if I have to do this for ten more seconds I will never blog again as long as I live. Everything is chaotic and scrambled and I'm really not proud but, who the heck am I making excuses to anyways? You see I'm losing my mind! Besides, I won 3rd place for flakey mother blogger so it's to be expected!

Tatum wins the prize for the most beautiful/delicious fruit pizza

We went to Arco Idaho to visit family but Laken went especially to see her favorite Idaho cousin Makylee

I think they're going to love these when they're older don't you think?

Grandpa of the year
