So this summer the girls have been doing lots of reading and cooking. This jello dessert with strawberries and whipped cream is one of their creations.

 

 

The boys have been working alot trying to get all the money to pay off their grad trip and Frank wants to pay off his drama trip to London also and Jake is working on getting himself a nice set of knives, he has just finished filling out all the paperwork for the apprenticeship and he is pretty excited.

Rob has been working hard and I have been working around the yard and doing some painting at the church.

Emily and I are really excited about going camping next week, the boys have to work, so they will be staying home. Rob is going to come out on the weekend to join us, so the boys are happy to have the house to themselves for the weekend.

Other than that not much going on besides getting stuff read for mom to come out and school to start. We are waiting on some quotes for our bathroom and are hoping it can get down real soon.

I am going to try this again, if I manage to post only once a month I will consider it a triumph. After all it will be more than I managed over the last little while.

Anyways, lots of new stuff happening around here, so I will give you the some of the kid's highlights:

-David moved up to Kitimat, he is working at the A&W up there and taking some security courses.

-Jake got a job as a prep cook at the Medicine Hat Lodge. He is especially excited because they offer apprenticeships too. He is also playing ruby again this year.

-Frank directed his first play last month and did a great job. He also went up to a drama festival in Red Deer and had a lot of fun there. He is still at KFC and still saving up for his trip to London next spring.

-Emily and Rebekkah are just finishing their schoolwork for the year. They took belly dance and piano all year and loved them both. They have a dance recital coming up, they will be performing at the Canada Day celebrations.

That's it for now I will try to post some pictures soon.
