KEEPIN' COOL!!

The kids love playing in the sprinkler because it's the only way that I can really take the kids outside right now. Otherwise it's just too hot!! Linden is such a nice brother that he always makes sure to keep his sister cool in the Arizona heat.

She usually does alright on her own!

Just a little thirsty.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRIS!!!!Tris turned 26 this month so we had a little party. Mom and Dad Rollins came from Cave Creek and we had our closest friends (The Hatches) here in Marana come over to celebrate.

Tris got his work/golfing hat that he had been asking for. Pretty Stylin'.


Mom is always working hard to help out where she can.

It was great that Laura, Brandon and the rest of their family could make it. They're great!!

Grandpa just happened to click the camera at the very second that Linden's finger was in this position. It made for a pretty funny picture.

Hannah and Linden just hangin' out.

My two little monkeys jumping on the bed. Mya shouldn't be though cause she already has stitches in her eye from doing that very thing just days before. Doesn't their mother ever watch them!

They all fall down!

HELLO CANADA!!

The kids were pretty excited about going to see Grandma and Grandpa Jackson in Canada. They even saw Mr. Moose the Mounty!!

Sorry if this is a little out of order but I'm still trying to figure things out. This is when we took the kids to Calaway Park (an amusement park in Calgary). They loved the rides, especially Linden.

Linden wasn't sure about this one!



Everyone got to enjoy the roller coaster!

Then cousins took a little road trip in their Big Rig!

The adults had lots of fun too, can't you tell!!!

Mya thought the Ice cream was the best part!! Yummy!

GRANDMA AND GRANDPA JACKSON'S

Linden and Mya loved playing with cousins is Grandma and Grandpas backyard!!

Charlie's Angels!


We finally got to meet Joshua. Cheryl (my sister) had him in June. He's soooo sweet!

Just takin' a break after all that playing. Mya and Linden became really fond of juice boxes at grandmas house. I don't every buy them so it was a treat I guess.

GREAT GRANDMA ROGERS 80th BIRTHDAY IN LAC LA BICHE

I thought that we should post some of the pictures from our trip to Canada. It was such a nice trip because we not only were able to visit with my immediate family, but we also got to see all my Aunts and Uncles too. My Grandma had her 80th birthday so we celebrated with a family reunion in Lac La Biche, Alberta (way north). Boy was it chilly up there for us Arizona folk. The kids had a blast at Great Grandma Rogers Lake Lot!!

Cousins hanging out on the trampoline.

Linden had his first Quad experience with his Great Uncle Gary (my uncle) and loved it.


Tris and the kids skipping rocks at the lake.

It was Pow Wow days in Lac La Biche. It has a high Native population so every year they have a celebration with a parade and Native dancing. It was great. Linden's enjoying the parade with dad.

All the Rogers family visiting before the parade (my moms side of the family).

Grandma and Grandpa Jackson getting as much time with the kiddies as possible. Mya has Grandpa Jackson wrapped around her little finger.

Setting Up a Blog

Well, this is my first attempt at a blog and we will see how it works out. I've loved looking at my friends blogs and thought I would give it a try. I also thought it would be easier for me to keep my family in Canada, and throughout the U.S.A., up to date on the kiddies. Wish me luck!
