Cousins, Camping, and Birthday Parties...
July came and went way too quick! Camping was short lived this year. We were only able to get the trailer out once this year but had fun anyways. We met Scott's parents out at Ridge Reservoir intending to stay for 3 nights but Makynna decided the first night at about 2 am that she didn't want to camp anymore. So, the next day we packed up the trailer - after a day of boat rides, fishing, walking with Grandma Ully, and playing - and went home. The day that we were supposed to come home we got a phone call from Scott's parents. They got hit with a wicked hail storm. The hail was the size of softballs and they had 3 actually go through the walls and roof of their fifth wheel!!! So thank Heaven for whispering in Makynna's ear because I don't think our tent trailer would have given us much protection.
Chrissy and her 3 kids came up for a visit before they left for their move to Oklahoma. It was good to see them all, and the kids had a blast playing.
We also celebrated Makynna's 3rd Birthday too. We had a family party at the Hovan house as well as one at the Ully house. My sister made these wonderful frog cupcakes. I wish I had her talent of creativity. From Makynna's cousins she got two games and a pair of dress up shoes...that she tries to run in all the time, Scary!!! From Grandma Ully and Auntie Daina she got a 'Tickle Trunk' full of costumes (which Oryn and I tried on), and from Grandpa Ully she got a scooter.
Daniel and Makynna also did some dancing...as you can see Makynna has some 'sick' moves. =)
Auntie Pissy and Oryn.
Great Grandma Boo with Oryn. And Auntie Daina with Oryn.
On the morning of Makynna's birthday I asked her what she wanted for breakfast...she said pancakes, so I made them special for her. And seeing that we didn't have a friend birthday party for her this year I made rice crispy flowers and took them to nursery on Sunday.
All in all it was good month!

5 years and counting.
Today was Scott and my 5th wedding anniversary. It doesn't seem like it has been that long, Oh how time flies when you're having fun. I am just warning you I will be writing a few cheesy things about my dear husband so I apologize if I make you gag. =)
Its hard to believe that I met Scott 10 years ago. He had a bit more hair back then but was and still is a very kind, loving man. Don't get me wrong, like any woman, I would still like to throttle my husband every once and awhile but he truly is the love of my life. From the first day I met him he was respectful, funny, caring, and handsome. We met at the gas station where I worked with one of his friends. He made me laugh. From there is was a long 4 years before he proposed...apparently all my friends from work had a bet going to see how long it would take. I just found this out 2 days ago...and for those that were in, WHERE'S MY CUT OF THE POT?!?! LOL Our year long engagement went by fast as did the wedding...and the next 5 years that followed.
Scott, I love you for all that you have done as well as still do for me. You always try to please me. You work hard to provide for our family...and what a beautiful family it is. You are as handsome as ever. I don't know what I would do with out you! I love you, Scott! Happy Anniversary!

The Joys of My Life!
Well, time seems to fly faster than you think it does. Makynna turns 3 next month and Oryn is now 5 1/2 months old. I don't think I have accomplished much this past few months but I know I have done lots. As a family we have enjoyed the sun as well as the rain this season...rain taking up most of it.
I have slowed my picture taking this past month due to 2 wild and busy kids but have managed to capture some of the fun things we have done. One of the most exciting things we did recently was to take a trip up to Red Deer to attend the wedding of a friend I have known since preschool. It was so good to see her and her family as well as meet her husband.
Makynna got to puddle jump for the first time this week. I finally broke down after she asked to play in the rain for 3 weeks straight. She was sick already so no point in keeping her couped up. So, we threw on our rubber boots and headed her outside.
Makynna has a few new passions...1) Blowing bubbles, which I am sure the world would run out of suds if I would let her blow bubbles all day long. 2) Ice cream but really, who doesn't love ice cream?!?! 3) Putting on makeup...and for those of you who know Makynna, this is totally out of character.
Oryn has over come a few mile stones. She is able to sit up on her own...but if she sees something out of her reach, over she goes. Oryn can roll over onto her stomach but hates being there. And the best of all, she is in her own room.
Three weeks ago we started Oryn on rice cereal. She did good for three days then decided that she didn't want anything to do with. So far the only other thing we have tried is pureed carrots...that didn't go over very well either but when she's ready I am sure she'll let us know.
As for everything else life is good. Hectic and stressful at times but good.
