good canadian fun

here are some random happenings as of late up in the great white north :) we are having tons of fun with family and friends and can't believe the break is more than half over!!

here's becks with some of the great grandparents, and he was lovin life! here's great grandpa smith making some fun noises to help a teething baby settle down. it's fun to think that he did the same thing to settle me down when i was beck's age!

grandpa hill and great grandma hill singing becks the mouse song. he was totally into it too with those wide eyes taking in the new entertainment!

 

great grandpa fairbanks loves beckam! he prints off pictures from our blog and is always asking about if his hair has grown or if he has any new teeth, so he was quite enjoying playing with becks in person :)

 

becks is still loving his arrowroots, but with his 2 little teeth, we have to watch him a little more carefully to make sure he doesn't chomp off any big pieces and choke!

here are dust and steele running their 10K race on saturday. dust has been working out for a while now and decided to see if he could survive a little bit of a longer jog around town. they both did super great and enjoyed running together. me and becks waited at the finish line for dad to finish, and we were so proud of dad and grandpa tolman. 10K guys - way to go!!!

 

pretty big event in our trip home - we gained a sister-in-law! levi and hayley tied the knot on saturday, and it was a really nice day :) sadly, becks decided it was going to be more of a fussy day, so i missed a lot of it, but i've been told that everything was really fun and nice and great! welcome to the fam hayley!

 

we also went on a little picnic with steele, cindy, and alaina on sunday afternoon. we braved the southern alberta wind and had lots of fun just hanging out together. it doesn't happen very often, so we loved just relaxing and chatting. alaina is such a great aunt to her 3 nephews, and beckam couldn't stop smiling at her singing and dancing and clapping :) she's getting to be so grown up and gets cuter and cuter every day! anyway, it was lots of fun, and beckam went on his 1st swing ride too! he kinda just sat there and looked around at everything with those wide eyes of his, but that's what he does best!

we are sick of the wind up here, and we miss our portland friends and life, but we love home and love family and love that we still get another week or so up here! good canadian times :)

It's funny how you can still get home sick when the people from home are here visiting but that is just what your blog did to me, MADE ME HOME SICK! I know it is windy but I still miss Southern Alberta! I am glad to see you guys are having so much fun, I can't wait till little Becks is back down here with us. I know that AJ is really missing you guys too. Enjoy the rest of your trip and HURRY HOME!

Glad you're enjoying your break! It's fun and exciting to move away from family for school, but it's always great to get back and visit! Living away from family while Jeff has been at school has been pretty hard for me, so take advantage of any opportunity to get home!

isn't' it funny that I have an oddly similiar picture to that last one, but the boy in the swing is replaced with Brad from the club? Ha, good times!
