The Lion King

Grandpa Ed treated our family to THE LION KING and wowza what a fun night!!!!!!!  The ladies wore their animal dresses and each picked fun hairstyles.  The whole experience was stellar!  We went for a pizza dinner first and then were off to the show.  Our seats were wonderful and once the music started I got goose bumps and was thrilled that my girls got to be there. It is a long show, 3 hours but the girls rocked it and boy oh boy so many times I would look over.   

Live shows, live music is magic! Cheers to a magical night!

drop everything

Summer is flying by and I am having mini moments of sadness because the time we have together, the three Polischuk ladies is fleeting.  I adore these two women and even though the days sometime seem long the years are flying by.  I keep thinking of this phrase and it is so true. I had a ton of laundry to do but it could wait.  So when the girls started getting a little stir crazy we pulled out the nerf guns and got to making targets and having some fun.

 

The little women love dressing up...still!!! Stella appears to be doing 'blue steel' and Amelia looks like she could be a real assassin.  Love these girls of mine.

the den

We have done a bit of work in the den and I am so pleased. I am a nerd for house stuff and whenever I go in there it makes me smile.  The chalk board hasn't changed since the girls' birthdays because I used a chalkboard pen so I may need to repaint it :( I am fond of what is written but still change is fun and I so enjoy changing up the board in there. Toffee trashed the carpet so I picked up a new one for only $50 and it is an inside/outside rug so perfect for the bunny to be on.  Mr. P helped me string up the birthday banner I made this spring and I think it looks so cute. This room seriously makes me smile.

On a more serious note I snapped a picture of Amelia standing by the 'Polischuk Summer Book Tower' where we are recording the books we read this summer.  It is now taller then her and we are pumped to see how far up the wall we can get it before grade one starts. Oh how wonderful pinterest is for great ideas!!!

Farmer's Market Date

Dancing to the busker, hot dogs, snow cones and some time in the bouncy houses :)  I love hitting up the Farmer's Market in our community, it is darling!!!!  We met up with the Watson ladies and enjoyed the beautiful summer weather.

baking with berries

We got a little busy with with Great Grandma Hinko this week, after all we did have a ton of fruit to work with!!!!!  Gma Hinko is a great baker (both of my Grandma's are actually) so whenever she comes out to stay we usually do something in the kitchen.  This time we made use of those berries and made some pies and tarts.  We ended up making 9 pies and many, many dozen tarts!!!! We used saskatoon berries, raspberries, pumpkin and our very own rhubarb from our garden.  This time we were inspired by pinterest to do cut outs with our pie dough and they turned out darling, the girls LOVED putting flowers or butterflies on their pies/tarts :) Nelly was over the one day and shocked us all with her desire to help, she rocked for someone so little!

There is something awesome about being in the kitchen with women you love, baking or cooking, making the house smell yummy! I am so thankful for the women in my life and the talents they poses and willingly share. I said of the day that we were 'making pies and making memories'!

berry picking in Rocky Mtn House

Our Aunt and Uncle have a lovely acreage in Rocky Mtn. House and we took a road trip out there because some berries were ready for picking. We met up with Cousin Addie and her adorable little crew, we made an adventure of it.  The littles mixed up vehicles before we took off and 3 adults, 8 kids made it there safe n happy ;)  

The mini horses were so cute and the kids loved them!  The wagon was also a hit and Jacey gladly shared as everyone took a turn.

 

 Amelia and Camilla are only 6 weeks apart in age and they love being together.   In Mia's last letter to Cami (they are little pen pals) she wrote that she "wished Cami was her other sister", it was pretty adorable. They have something special there.

 When they weren't outside they were colouring, playing the piano, playing in the billard room or spinning the rocking car with everyone loaded on.

 Almost everyone, just missing Alyson who was taking the picture.

Lots and lots of berries!!!!!! We ended up with 90 cups of raspberries and a ton of saskatoons.  I see some pies and jam in our future.

I just had to snap a picture as we drove home. Beautiful.

birthday pictures

 

 

My cousin Emma is a tremendous talent behind the camera!  We had a session with the little ladies and although I left thinking; perhaps we would need a do over I was sooooooo pleased with the shots she got of our girls :) We did an animal theme for their bday party and these dresses were crazy cool!!! So wild!

 I am pretty much in LOVE with these images!!!!!

I am totally a nerd who does yearly birthday pictures.  I love looking back and seeing their changes!! Totally in love with the smiles and silliness that these girls bring to our family.
