So its official. Dayton and I are foster parents. We have Kolby and Austin living with us full-time now. So big changes in the English house. I have now been over run by boys. One of my favourite times with the boys is Family Home Evening. The boys love my drawings, which are seriously bad, but they love to see the Bible stories by pictures. Its a competition after the lesson to get to keep my drawings. Only kids would like them. The games are also fun. Tonight we decorated ceramic animal banks. Trying to teach the boys to save money.

Kolby is the chicken, Austin the cow, me the sheep and Dayton is the bull. Fun times! One of my favourite things about the summer was seeing my family. Camellia, JP, Olivia, Jack and bump came to play with us all for three weeks.
For Graham, I finally found the Wicksteed Park of Calgary. We went to Calaway Park. My little sister Sophia had never gone to a fairground before so was VERY nervous on the rides. Luckily we had Austin who was also not a daredevil so we let Steph take Kolby on all the fast rides while the nervous people handled the kiddies rides. We lined up for an hour for the Log Ride. Austin was not so keen on going on it but we convinced him he would be ok. So all six of us crammed into the log. That was when he saw that he had to go up. The tears, screams and nerves kicked in and I had to hold him tight and talk to him about how he couldn't get off the ride now, when suddenly we went down, the water came up and so did Austins laughter! In his journal he now claims this was his favourite ride.
So I have discovered that I have sooooo much to write but so little time as Dayton is anxious for some attention. So in other news which I will just gloss over:
Jeannette is pregnant with number 2! Yay! So excited to be an aunt again. She joins Camellia who has her third child being born in December. I should be an aunt again this month when my sister in law, Dayna gives birth. Daytons Dad had a birthday so we went and celebrated with the family, although we are going out this weekend for Beatlemania with him. Dayton and I enjoyed our front row seats at The Lion King! It was absolutely fantastic! We went to Globalfest which is a fireworks competition to music. Think I am drying up.......apart from one last topic! Sod!
Our house is also coming along very nicely. We got sod. Never thought I would get excited about grass but the thought of snow and mud was not appealing to me, so Dayton and I have planted bushes and shrubs to make our garden look pretty. Anyway till next time, take care!
