Sheldon's Big Grad Day..

Here are a few photos of the day..sorry they're not in any specific order. Some before the grad, during and after. The grad was a bit trying for the children, (over 2.5 hrs of sitting) but we survived it alright! We had a caramel fondue afterward. The inside photos weren't real great- I need to read through the camera guide about the flash & settings etc... (oh and I took a quick shot of Dad's stylin' shoes for you Ju! He decided to borrow Sheldon's for the evening!)































Graduation Time in the Town of Rimbey

This year 3 'friendly' kids graduated; Jamin, Becky and Sheldon. As tradition goes, we had a potluck supper for them Friday night. It was a good turnout with a quite a few young kids.. There were a few speeches, lots of yummy food and they even got a bit of exercise with a 'pop-the-balloon' game! A couple fit moms were in the game playing as well - notice the dance moves of the young mom in the white top! Go Michelle!!







Beautiful harvest sunset - it was glowing bright pink even though it looks yellow in the picture!



Little Drew getting in there to do some damage!

Harvest..

Some pictures of the first day of harvest! The kids had their turn in the combine with G'Ma, did a little swathing with Papa and even ate supper out with all the dust and machinery!

Oh, the Cozy Ambience of a Campfire...

For some reason, this summer we didn't sit around a campfire much. Too busy doing other things I guess.. So when our workers Rosanna and Dorothy were game for an outing, we headed for the pasture where we were married six years ago! It was well worth the effort - we all enjoyed ourselves immensely!







Weekend with the Mathews Crew!

Our house was pleasantly busy for a couple of days! The Mathews six came to visit! Here are a few photos to mark the occasion..
