Family Pictures





Lethbridge Fun



We visited the Corn Maze which also had a petting zoo. The cow train was a big hit!

Many Faces of Nicolaas

Phew! Wonderful dog breath to accompany the ride home from Lethbridge.

Nicolaas is a very helpful boy. the latest is cutting down the weeds with a scissors. The prairie was so dead in Lethbridge that you could just break it off. But it made a cute picture anyhow.
Can't get this grinder working...
Well it's sorta working now...
Yep and I am cute! Nicolaas is growing up so fast, and has become quite the thinker. Question of the day. After reading the story of Abraham and Isaac. "Why can God only kill?" Also. What do you want for your birthday Nicolaas? "Let's talk about Heaven again Mom. Can you go there for me and get me an animal that doesn't bite?"

Visting Uncle Joel's Resting Place

"...For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words."
1Thessalonians 4:16-17.


Lethbridge Trip

Oma Arnoldussen and Dylan. Thank you for taking such good care of us all when we were in Lethbridge. We enjoyed our time there! We love you and miss you.
Dylan giving Opa Arnoldussen a ride in his car. uhhh Opa's car!

Josh Arnoldussen with the boys. At least Josh understands Noel. he was so cute listening intently to all Noel had to say. There was an aaah-HA moment at Jonas and Evelyn's. Noel calls all cars and vehicles Geeen. Even if it isn't green. (He knows the colour green) Noel came out of the room holding up a Lightning McQueen car and said "GEEEEN!!!" AAAAH-HAAA!! The mystery is solved. All vehicles are Lightning McQueen and Mighty Machines.

Sweet Friends

My sweet oldest brother Nicolaas loves to have me play with him. I was helping him build a tower. Mommy is still so amazed at how much I look like Nicolaas as a baby.
Nicolaas is Mommy's big helper, and he even fed me my bottle... Mommy had to show him how to tip it up, cause I wasn't getting anything!






My sweet second cousin Bekah Willene Boot, born June 9. 7lbs 5oz. Cute shorts outfit eh Aunty Natalie?My friend Owen thought I was pretty neat to check out.
Me and my almost twin buddy, Colin Wayne Sawatzky. Born June 29th, 7lbs 10oz.
By the way, Annalisa you were right, Dylan DOES have thrush! So no sugar (attempt..) and acidophilus here we go!

Snuggle Time

Dylan, 3 weeks old, snuggling with the puppies. The puppies thought he was one of them, and just cuddled right up to him. He was smaller than the puppies, and not as heavy! Dylan was 8lbs 7oz on Monday the 16th! So he is growing. He is my first son to reach a higher percentile than 5! He is in the 32nd percentile for weight! Those few extra ounces a day of formula must be helping!

Sweet Little Dylan

4 days old
4 days old
Mommy thought she'd better update some cute pictures of me. The Health Nurse came on Monday (9th) and I weighed in at 7lbs 13.5 oz. So a whole ounce more than my birth weight... The Nurse said that I was doing alright because I was a little over my birth weight and I was two weeks old. So I am still pretty tiny. But I take after my brothers. I think Mommy doesn't have whipping cream for milk. My stools were greenish, so Mommy is supplementing me a couple of ounces of formula every day. I take a bottle no problem.



My brothers adore me, and I have smiled at Nicolaas. He thought that was pretty special. He loves to come and talk to me, and Noel loves to come a give me kisses (a.k.a gentle head bonks) which he learned from his brother Nicolaas. Nicolaas thinks it's pretty neat that I look like him. He tells everyone that I have his head.. I wonder where my head went to???I am sleeping for Mommy almost 7 hours a night and she thinks that is pretty great. I only really cry when my tummy is sore. But my plumbing works real well, so when that is all taken care of, I always feel better.My sad face after my first bath with my brothers. 1 week old July 3rd.
Aunty Natalie reading to all us boys!
Swimming at Meota only 9 days old!
Nicolaas, Noel, and cousin David.Yep, and I am so cool, sporting my new hat. 2 weeks old
