Kite flying

What's a summer without the simple pleasure of flying a kite? My kids mastered their kites this summer, far better than the failed attempts last year. It was a draw though...not sure who enjoyed themselves more...the kids or Kelly!

Manitoba Sunflower Queen Competition

Well, this was a very special July for our Jordan as she was asked to be a flower presenter for the Manitoba Sunflower Queen Competition. We searched all over Winnipeg for the perfect dress...found it, had practices and finally, the big day came.

She was amazing, right in her comfort zone up on the stage...I did her hair and make-up for the big night and boy was she on cloud nine!

My daughter...so beautiful!

Summer fun and festivals...

We made our way over to Gretna this summer for their annual festival, kids had a blast on the pony as you can see. This same weekend, I had reached my limit for the town pool so I went out and bought the kids their own! Best decision we made as the kids used the pool everyday and I didn't have to leave my backyard!!!!!
