Baptiste Lake- 2013

Once again this summer we were blessed to be able to spend a week up on Baptiste Lake. Chris was able to come up for the first part of the week and Mark the end - so thankful that both special guys were able to be a part of it this summer:)
 Didn't get a lot of good pictures this summer, but here you can see the two cottages we stayed in!
 The beautiful lake
 At the locks we learned "Everyone wants everything for free" - hey Aaron:)
 When we got there we realized we didn't know the code for the cottage and the rental place was already closed down for the night or so we though - it wasn't technically a break in  - we just had to go through the window
 Generally every summer we find our way to Eagles Nest - always such a lovely spot to lookout!

 Making my mark in the wood:)
 The love-birds


 Have some interesting poses
You can kind of see the look-out from this picture - the scenery up there is beautiful!
Went hiking there later on in the week - camera ran out of battery, but got a couple on my phone
Such a nice place for hiking too - through a swamp - the forest was SO green!
 It has become an annual swim - across the lake! Only made it once this year though:(
 boating
 twins - only 30yrs apart
 The dam is another place we end up going to - the water was down a lot this year so we were able to walk around a little more
 the nut of the week
 My Parents



 Aaron and I organized a meal plan for the week and who was doing what when - worked nicely
Fun having Aaron as a partner
 Water sports...Chris did amazing
 Then Mark came up - SO thankful it worked out for him to come up - was SO good to have him there!
Mr. Good Lookin'
 Daniel almost had the wake jumped - he did so well
 the ham on ski's
Coming over to spray me!
 Couch time - likely something wedding related:)
 Faith working on a puzzle
 Two beautiful ladies - I'm so blessed to call sisters!
 Campfire before dark:) It was a hot-dog roast I think
 Makes me smile
 We were able to bring up our keyboard this time - so thankful we did! It was definitely a blessing

 My dear mother and I out on the canoe:)
Mikes n' I - they are all growing up so fast, learning to treasure every moment I get with them!
 This morning was definitely a highlight for me! Dad, Jenelle, Mark and I went over to the dam one morning real early to see the sunrise (didn't really see it, but that's besides the point).
"The Morning Light"
Just a really special time
The trip home was really nice as well - we stopped a few times - once for ice-cream and a walk and once for supper!
So blessed to call this group of people my family! Thankful for the upbringing the Lord has allowed me to have and looking forward with much anticipation for what He has for all of us in the future as we trust Him with our lives!

Christmas Preparations & Finishing up Second Semester

2017 seemed to be a year full of new adventures and "firsts"! I hadn't been home for all the hustle and bustle of Christmas for 5 years and boy did I ever miss it! Starbucks and studying for finals filled my December Experiencing and practicing out skills out in the "field" - preparing us for our final practical Something I've really missed doing - hanging the Christmas lights out at the farm! This year Ben helped James and I - a great night filled with music, laughter, and cookies (thanks Jo-Jo)  "Festival of Lights" - OWEN SOUND  It was a very wet/rainy night, but it was PERFECT! Ben and I had so much fun walking around Owen Sound talking, laughing, and experiencing the beginning of many new Christmas things together! The firework display was incredible, just in case anyone is thinking of checking it out next year - GO!!! They also did a great job at displaying many different set ups of Christmas lights!  Oh, and what better ...

(Parts of) Family Day

Family Day was different this year then others - it had become an annual tradition to go hiking, however due to some conflicting plans it didn't work out this year! Some went here, others there, yet we were all together for dinner!  I took Faith and the two youngest boys swimming - there was hardly anyone there, the boys so enjoyed it!  Game time  Music Time  Grandma wanted help cutting out her runner...  At 10pm I got inspired to do a cake - I had a gracious helper:) My Dad's project for the day! It's so nice - getting all these projects done around here!

Sunday Afternoon

 One Sunday afternoon I brought these adorables back to the farm for some fishing! It's all I could do to get them to stop!                                     Hudson wanted to keep catching them, didn't think that it mattered if we couldn't eat them all!
