Oh Canada...

WARNING.. Picture over load.
And this is the scaled down version.

This past month the boys and i flew up to Canada to visit family. They love going and spending time with their cousins and hanging out with Grandma's and Grandpa's.

Peyton was able to go to school with his cousin Madi, they had a lady come teach then about Dinosaurs. He loved it.

And let me tell you a little about the weather while we were home...besides it snowing the first weekend we were there it RAINED and RAINED and RAINED. The kids loved sitting on my mom's deck to watch the rain storms.

I got to see my girls from high school and eat some yummy Japanese food with them.

Brody insisted on using my moms decorative mixing bowl for his cereal...???

Happy Birthday Auntie Carly.. oops.
Brody and Peyton found a giant chocolate bar that my mom bought Carly for her birthday! So needless to say we ran out to the store to get her another one.

We had a little get together for her and when i say little i mean there were more kiddos there then adults i think.

She asked for snickers cheesecake so i whipped this puppy up for her. We also enjoyed french toast and homemade buttermilk syrup for dinner.... mmmmm my kind of dinner!

And here are the guests. Sorry Carly that we didn't have very many people there.

On our way to Whitefish!!!
I love going to Montana in the summer, it's beautiful and relaxing and my kids love it too. Besides staying inside the cabin or mall on the rainy days we did get out a little. Here are some pics of what we did.

The boys on the way down.

We went to the beach a couple times. The water was FREEZING but the kids didn't care.

Miss. Cassie Grace

Caymbree Wynn would not stay out of the water, she loved it so much.

Brody

Anissah helping the kids build sand castles. It was so great to have her their so i could relax and watch them play.

Anissah built Caymbree this hole for her to sit so she wouldn't go in the lake

She loved it and enjoyed drinking the muddy water too.

Peyton

Becky taking Caymbree away from her hole...mean mom.


And it rained....

Cassie and mom watching the boys play outside...my kids don't care if it's raining.

I found my 2 dudes sleeping together one night..so cute.

Peyton got ahold of my camera and took this sweet pic of himself...silly boy.

The 3 kids watching a movie on the little dvd player so my sister and i could watch "Glee", i know we are losers.

Kindergarten here we come...

Peyton Brady Karren class of 2010!

Yep Peyton has graduated from pre-school and is moving up in this world and on to Kindergarten! I can't believe it.

Peyton has matured so much this year and has become a sweet, kind, caring 5 year old BOY!
He cares about others feelings and doesn't want to leave anybody out. He try's to do what is right and make good choices everyday. He has a passion for learning, he is always finding ways to learn above and beyond what is required of him. He has started reading and loves to sound out every word he see's or hears. Sometimes this can be annoying when your trying to talk to him and he interrupts you with "MOM you just said a word that begins with B" !!! He asks me everyday how to spell random words.
I love all of these things about Peyton. He makes our home a happy fun place to be. Thanks dude for being you.

AT graduation

The 3 boys in the class
Peyton, Hunter, Kobe

Peyton was asked to carry the American flag.
(kinda ironic that the Canadian got asked to do this)

Getting his diploma

Peyton and Mrs.Nicole
She has been the best teacher, we love her.


Now these are some pics from the school year in random order. Peyton's teacher gave everyone Cd's with pics of their own kids from the entire school year. She does way more than any other teacher i know. She is amazing.

They had a water day on the last week of school and they were aloud to go swimming in Mrs. Nicoles pool.

I love this action pic

DO you remember these from elementary? I totally do, they were my favorite.

Peyton's animal report was
on the "Snake" we found in our back yard.

Peyton even married his friend Katie at pre-school!!! The kids dressed up and had a wedding for the letters "Q" and "U". Seriously isn't his teacher so creative?

I helped in Peyton's class one day and taught the kids how to keep their teeth clean.

I think this is my fav. pic of Peyton

He is going to miss pre-k but i know he will LOVE kindergarten too.
