Red and White is the theme

CANADA DAY...the Magrath way!

We started the day with my Dad singing Oh Canada, viewing all the lovely Canadian flags down the street and eating yummy buttermilk waffles topped with strawberries and whipped cream. Boy, did those waffle taste good, eh! We dressed in our Canadian colours and T-shirts too, eh. You see red and white is the theme. We hurried to Ramond to watch the parade, eh. We were bored while waiting for it to start... sooo my dad was trying to get me to go to the middle of the street and preform the Highland Fling. Its a Scotish Dance, eh. I told him if he paid me $500. bucks I would gladly put on a show...but he only offered me $5. Not enough for me but Madi heard the offer and decided to take him up on it and she started to dance in the middle of the street. She had a Canadian umbrella hat and Canada shirt on and she preformed her canadian/awesome/hoola Dance. We were very entertained, eh! Grandpa paid up and Madi made $5 bucks.
We saw the RCMP or Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the parade and saw them riding their horses too. It is truly a Canadian thing to see when the RCMP are in sight, eh.
The children loved getting candy thrown at them even a little water too helped us stay cool. We had a fun day, eh.

Fish Lake 06.24.09
Walking along the path around the Lake is a beautiful sight and brings a peaceful feeling too. We are use to the busy pace of life but when we come to Fish Lake we take it slow and enjoy the little things around us. One can't help but take photo after photo of the scenery and the cute little kidlettes too. We love to visit once in the summer to get away from the heat.

Old MacDonald Had a Farm

Old MacDonald had a farm!


So I finished one of my quietbook swap pages only 16 more to go, eh. I still need to cut and sew the farm animals for the inside pocket. I hope you sisters are having fun with this swap. I find so much joy in creating and sewing it all together.

Pizza Party!

Who can resist homemade pizza? I have been in a baking mood for a few days and well the thought came to me "Lets make pizza for dinner!" I can't say that I have done it before today. I have the ingredients and even some fun stuff to put on itl. I just need a pizza dough recipe. Nothing in my recipe stash...what to do?...search the internet? Oh, my computer is retarded and has a virus so everything is very slow. I know...Nola! She is the master of baking. She will have a recipe. She gave me kristen's recipe and it worked out great.
This has pesto sauce, chicken, olives, artichoke hearts, red/yellow bell peppers and tomatos on it covered with mozzerella cheese.

Pizza, Pizza! The girls and Thys were playing with some friends and when I told them that they were making there own pizza they got really excited and asked if everyone could stay and make one too. The Pizza Party had just began! I gave all the children their own dough and they had a blast spreading it and saucing it and topping it. But they loved eating it the most.

Cheep,Cheep!

Tweet, cheep, chirp! All in the name of Scrapbooking!
It has been over a year since I last scrapbooked! Way too long. Nola was making some scrapbook pages for Addie's birthday and I wanted to make her some too. But what to do? Then I remembered the cutest stamp set that I recently aquired (which I am totally in love with). Instantly, I knew that I should use it. The page is absolutely adorable. I forgot how much fun this really is and I miss doing it. I really want to make some more pages for my children this year too. There is nothing like saying "I love you" with a scrapbook page. It will always be there.
