July 2009

Enjoying a few minutes without rain at the cottage!

Jack, WIlliam and Thomas make their own pizzas (with a little help)

Thomas called Auntie Tina and told her he needed a new box, so she brought several to the cottage and we made a car, equipped with a hood and trunk. Since Thomas would rarely allow Sarah in the car itself, she decided the small trunk was the next best spot

Sarah and Thomas on a teeter-totter

Thomas and Callie having a cupcake break from playing at a water park

Giddy-up horsey!

At Andrew Hayden Park in Nepean with some of Thomas' friends

Thomas and Sarah visited Nana and Grandpa today

       

They both took turns with Grandpa on the swing

Thomas loves playing with Perry and frequently asks, "Hobbes stay with Nana, Perry come to my home?"

Sarah enjoying one of three watering cans that Thomas filled

"Helping" bake cupcakes for Gram's birthday

Enjoying said cupcakes!

Our little thrill seeker loves going down the extra big slide at the park all by herself

Thomas now rides a two wheel bike with training wheels to the park and back

Sarah loves baby Colby!

See William run ...,

See everyone chase William (CJ, Jack, Sarah & Gabby)

See Thomas happily bringing up the rear!

Sarah helping Louise prepare food

Boys will be boys (Sarah was just waiting to get in on the tackle fest)

Gram's birthday meal at the cottage

Yes, that is Hobbes licking out of Sarah's bib!

Matching shoes :)

In the "crawl space" under the cottage, Grams helped Thomas build his own cottage, or maybe it was a garage with scraps of wood, nails and a little hammer

Ah yes, Sarah in the basement ... she's currently into the screeching stage ;)

Pops had two helpers to make a fire on a very cool morning in July

Walking around the block after dinner to burn some energy

Grams and Pops with their grandkids

Sarah was very curious as to what Pops was doing

What a great seat

Thomas watering flowers for Grams

Pam and her first baby, who was absolutely exhausted from chasing chipmunks

Enjoying the new deck

Hobbes is a pretty smart dog, the water was pretty cool and too high for the docks to go in, but just right for a look out where the kids couldn't bother him!

Thomas and Sarah heading down to the water

Biker girl

Thomas loved going out in the canoe, Daddy and Mommy took him for a paddle and he didn't want to return to the cottage!

Relaxing Hobbes

Thomas and Sarah "helping" Grams make lunch

Car rides are not always so quiet

Checking out the pool with Daddy ... several minutes later Thomas wanted in!
