Gardening!!

We have been spending lots of time out in our yard doing some gardening. Camilla doesn't much like sitting on the nice picnic blanket I bring out for her, she would rather be in the dirt with mum and dad. haha

In this pic, she just couldn't wait to rip her socks off and feel the dirt between her toes.

Upclose shot!

She started laughing and enjoying watching her daddy dig and work....

Walking to the park to play!























My beautiful momma after I cut her hair, and Emma styled it!!

Love you all,

Michael's Graduation

20 Week Ultrasound

Love, Cass and Jeanine

What baby # 3!?

Yes its true, we are going to have another one! Crazy?.. Maybe, But so excited and can not wait!
This time we are NOT going to find out what the sex of the baby is, its going to be super hard but were going to do our best, we thought we have our girl and our boy so why not let this one be a surprise. The kids are very pumped, Austin keeps asking if the baby is coming out now, he cant wait to be a big brother, he has a long ways to wait, keisha just hopes its a girl hahah. Were all doing well and trying our best to keep up with the site. :)

We will keep things posted!

love
Jordan, Kristina, Keisha, Austin and Baby "It"

Congratulations Michael

Last evening we attended a beautiful graduation ceremony for Classes 125 & 126 of the Edmonton Fire Department. Our very own Michael was one of the graduands in #125. He has had a dream ever since he was little. He has worked diligently to achieve this goal.

Congratulations, Mike. We are so very proud of you.

If you all think Mike is handsome, you should see him in his uniform!! If you think he's handsome in his regular uniform, you should see him in his DRESS Red Serge uniform!!! Makes the girls drool and Gramma really proud!

NOW -- we are anxiously awaiting some pictures or even videos to be posted.

Congratulations, Mike. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration and great example to all of us. When I grow up, I want to be like you.

Love,
Gramma & Grampa

BLESSED ART THOU, MOTHER

Blessed art thou woman
For thou shalt be called Mother
Yea, and thy chores and thy tasks
Shall follow thee all the days of thy life.

And thou shalt eat the bread of thine own baking
And Thou shall dwell forever in a
Filthy house, if thou doest not choose
To clean it thyself

Thou shalt arise before the cock croweth
And thou shalt say unto thine self,
“Where are the offspring
Which were given me? Yea, the sun
Has risen high in the sky, and the
Hour is getting late; wherefore, I
Have been long at my labors.”

And thou shalt go and find thy
Offspring prostrate on their cot.
And thou shalt say unto them, “Haste,
Arise and shine, for I have many labors
For thee to perform, Wherefore, I have
Been many hours already preparing the way”

And thine offspring shall linger in sleep
And shall say unto thee, “Thou didst
Not watch the late, late, late show
As I did last night and mine eyes are
Heavy and mine bones acheth.”

And thou shalt say unto thy offspring,
“get thee up from thy cot
ere I lay hand upon thee
and go ye hither and scrub a sparkling tub
for thou has left black rings upon its sides.”

And thy offspring shall say unto thee,
“I will go and do thy bidding—in a minute.”

And thy rage shall know no end and thou shalt weep and wail and knash thy teeth mightily.

Nevertheless, thou shalt scrub a sparkling tub thyself and glory
Shall be added unto thee, for thou didst
Not strike the lazy beast.

Thou art blessed above all others
And thy descendents shall call thee
Blessed, for thou preparest a table before them
Thou cookest meat and all manner of tasty vittles
And they shall sit at the table with thee
And partake with thee.

And they shall add glory to thy crown
For they shall let thee also wash the dishes,
If thou wilt.

And when the night falleth, thou shalt be pooped
And thy offspring shall say of thee,
“She is an old woman, wherefore
She neither goes dancing, nor does she
Watch the late, late, late show.”

Thy art and thy craft shall make thee called on
And thou shalt labor at many tasks in the kingdom
For whosoever asketh, thou do his bidding.

Thy back shall acheth with arthritis,
Thy cane and thy husband
Shall be thy support
Thy veins shall be varicose in thy aching legs
But thou shalt do thy labor with a smile,
Neither shall thou gripe
For in the day that thou doest,
Thy name shall be mud.

Nevertheless, thou art blessed for
thou art crowned with the angels
On the second Sunday of May on each
And every year.

Wherefore, thou shalt be blessed above
All others for thou art Mother
And thou shalt find peace and joy in
Thy offspring forever and ever,
If thou endureth to the end!

Love you all, Troy

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

A Mother's unconditional love
approaches Christlike love.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers (wives), Mothers to be, Mother wanna be's and even to the younger girls who will be future Mothers. A special Happy Mother's Day to the Mothers in Washington. I hope your day is wonderful and filled with love from your family and those close to you. Thank you Mothers for all the kindness and love given through the years. Thank you for the healing kisses and the comfort for the scraped knees. Thank you for being the support to us Fathers after giving so much of yourself even when you have almost nothing left.

With that being said we all love you very much, from all of your Husbands, Fathers and children.

All My Love, (insert significant name here)
