Hangin out at Papa's, Brycen and Zack got the chance to help Uncle Josh (aka Uncle JuWatch or Crotch) feed the calves. Here they are deciding where to go next.
Jessica came to help them too.
Then it was off to the beach with Grandma, Jessica and mommy.
Brycen loves the sand but not to sure of the water.
Enjoying some juice after a hot day at the beach...wearing matching t-shirts from Uncle Jason and family all the way from Estevan Sask.
The boys enjoyed a photo shoot at Papa's place on his tractor. I made a t-shirt for dad for his birthday with this picture of the boys on it but in black and white. This is Brycen's most favourite place to be...on Papas 'tracker'...though Papa is now becoming known as Cramp Pa.
I call this one Peek a boo Brycen. Doesn't it look like something out of the 1940s? This tractor was purchased by my Grandpa Ireland in 1940 and is a Farmall H. My dad fixed it up earlier and it is currently being used in a tractor square dance group done in Teeswater for the International Plowing Match. 
The last weekend in June was the World's Invitational Fastball Tournament in Monkton. It is our fifth year hosting this tournament. This year they had a day camp that Zack attended. It is capped off with an autograph signing session with many of the players who hail from places all over North America, South America, Austrailia and New Zeeland.
Zack and Brycen's cousin Jessica was home for a week and spent some time with them and their cousin Mac. Mac is VERY fond of Zackary and tries to kiss him all the time!!!
Father's Day weekend we took our family to our church retreat at Camp Kintail. We enjoyed lots of activities including fun at the beach during the day and a campfire their at night. This is Zack and his buddy Darnell throwing rocks in the lake.

Brycen and Zack are super excited about their 'new the them' wading pool although Brycen insisted it was a boat at first!!! They were so happy to find Daddy filing the pool up when they got home today.
Brycen enjoyed playing with his new water wheel toy and was so excited to see that what happened to the water. At first this was all he'd do with the pool... but pretty soon he ended up right inside, soaked and laughing his head off!!!
Ready, set....JUMP!!!!
Zackary and Geoff caught a toad and put it in a bucket. Brycen thought it was a frog and kept jumping around the bucket and yelling 'jump fwoggy, jump'!!!
Zack named the toad 'Toady"...terribly original but cute all the same. He also has a pet snail named...you guessed it, Snaily. So far he hasn't convinced me to bring the pets inside!!!
Happy 2nd Birthday Brycen!!! Friday was the big day and what fun it was. Zack was just as excited as Brycen about some of his gifts!!!
A new water toy for his 'new to him' wading pool. He wasn't too sure what it was but quickly figured it out once we added water!!!
Brycen got a bubble mower from Aunt Kim, Uncle Drew and his cousins. He's wakes every morning and asks for bubos and it's the first thing he does when he gets home from the babysitters each day. I don't think our lawn has ever been so....clean!!!
Here's our 'twin' boys as Zack calls them in their matching t-shirts. Both boys got them for their birthdays. Don't they look handsome!!!
The official day isn't until Friday but I couldn't resist posting some pictures from Bryen's family party on Sunday...I'm sure I'll have more to post later in the week!!!
Uncle Josh decorated Brycen's cake and filled it with trackers, ca-ows and an-mos so he was pretty excited. He's mastered the technique of blowing out candles...needless to say we had to light them a few times to get the pictures!!!
Brycen got a dump truck full of sand toys from Uncle Josh and Marjan and some very cool blocks from Uncle Adam and Aunt Julie and baby Mac. The blocks now reside in the dump truck and race across the kitchen floor in hot pursuit of Zackary!!!
This adorable picture was taken a few weeks ago at my Uncle Gord's 60th birthday party. These are Brycen's cousins Allison and Avery...born 2 and 6 weeks before him. We have a great picture of them all within a few weeks of being born so it was time for an update.
We celebrated Mother's Day with the Ireland gang on Saturday as my dearest friend, Charlotte, was home from Phoenix and at mom and dad's for a visit. Here is my brother Adam holding his baby boy, Mac and Charlotte's little girl, Paulina while Zack helps out. Brycen was too busy running around the house to pause for picture time.
Brycen and Zackary LOVE their baby cousin Mac. The first picture in this series was without baby's soother and Brycen kept telling Mac shhh, shhh.
Zack, Brycen and Paulina went for a wagon ride with Grandma after they helped Uncle Josh feed the calves. 
Brycen was VERY excited that Papa took him for a tractor ride and this is all he's talked about since then...Papa, tracker, ride, me, papa, ride, tracker, me, go... you get the picture!!!
And here is our final moment with Sebastian. On Sunday we said goodbye to this fine young man who became a part of our family over the past 9 months. We were sad to see him go and wish him the best of luck in his future. I am sure he'll be back to join his Canadian family again.
