The last hot day...

...before fall actually kicked in. Thought I would try and get a few more pictures in nice summery clothes as the summer was ending fast! I usually go out to Borden and hang out with my dad once a week with the kids. That way his retirement has some excitement (ha! not that he needs it... but it is good exercise keeping up with a 2 year old while hauling a baby around!) and Ryan can get some work done without us all bugging him. This was one such afternoon in Baba's garden in Borden.

As I was looking at these pictures I realized they could be arranged with Graye slowly coming to meet Tegan and get in on the pictures too! Funny...ish. =D

Beauty Queen

I admit it. I entered Tegan in a cute contest. Which I normally would not consider doing, but it was for a Zellers "babyface" contest and they give a $10,000 RESP and a trip to toronto... I thought what the heck?? We still haven't gotten the big call saying she is the winner, but I know it's coming!! =b Here are a couple of the pictures that I took as possible send in shots.




Fall Harvest

Graye in the field behind our house right before they combined.

The wheat was eye-level and Graye was getting upset that he kept getting poked!

We went to the Threshermen's Festival that they have every year in Borden. Graye got to ride on the horse and didn't want to come down! Every 10 minutes or so we would ask him if he wanted down and every time the answer was a quiet "no" then he would look ahead and wait to keep going. Pretty funny!

He also got quite comfortable on the tractor. Between that and the horse he got his picture taken more times that day by all the grandmas and grandpas than he has all summer!
