Going GREEN!

I'm not one of those people who is going to go crazy with trying to save the environment, but I have come a little way by doing a few simple things that make me feel like I'm not destroying the Earth. Jordy and I have a beautiful front lawn this summer and so we needed to purchase a lawn mower so it doesn't turn into a forest. We don't have a ton of money to spend on a gas or electric mower so we went to Canadian Tire and found a good old Reel Mower.

Haha, alright, so its a little more modern than this one, but this is essentially the idea. No motor. Just the power of your legs. Pure GREEN energy!

Another way we've tried to save the Earth is converting to the Green Shopping bags.

So you don't have to start wearing clothes made of burlap, or live life with the heat and lights off. Just start small and be practical. We have a small lawn, so the Reel Mower works for us, we also had been given a few of those bags so we didn't have to pay much for them.

Just keeping up and being a little more Earth Friendly.

Summer has arrived and nothing starts it better than a PARADE!

So the season of sun has arrived in Southern Alberta and have we ever been enjoying it! We went out to Taber for a Saturday to help my Mother-In-Law work on her yard. It also happened to be the weekend of Taber Days. So around 10:00am we took a break and headed down to the parade. It was a blast. Raven (our neice) was cute as always, and everyone had fun gathering candy and looking at the floats.

The Pipers were a big hit.
The cute little Police Chihuahua got a few laughs.
Everyone having a good time, I don't remember what they were looking at for this one.

August's first parade! :D

Family fun!

Good ol' trampoline!

Summer is going to bring lots of fun memories for us and I'm so excited for the great weather that has decided to grace us with its presence in Lethbridge. Love the heat, love the fun, love the time with family!
