What's going on?

Hi Everyone! I thought we'd finally update the Colyn family blog as it has not been changed since 2006. Times are a changing.
We will try some new things to keep everyone interested and to maintain some sense of order around here. There is some social media integration for posts to be shared through Facebook, Twitter, etc. A Search function, so make sure you add labels to your posts for future reference.
Please be patient the next little while if things move around a bit, and be sure to let me know if you like or dislike whats going on.
Oh, and keep up the good posts, everyone! If you need any help logging in or posting, just contact me anytime... ~John

hospital fun

So William had a hard time breathing yesterday and ended up staying in hospital over night. He is doing much better and is happy to be at home. He really did not want to stay at the hospital and kept asking to go home because he wanted to see Ally and Evan.
One of the nurses gave him a teddy bear which he loved and then gave it to his brother as soon as he got home. What a little sweetheart ! !



Banks Family Reunion






We are just wrapping up a full week our reunion, and it has been great. All the kids got up water skiing, including the youngest 6 year olds, and the oldest....Grampa Banks. Wow, he even went on one ski!! Can't wait to hang with all the Colyns soon.

We have been playing .....






This is at Wild Play in Nanaimo, soo much fun. The kids loved every minute of it.

Hi everyone, I know that pictures of other people on our family blog is a little odd, but here are some close friends from work. Rachel and I went away for a couple of nights to a resort in the Cascade Mountains as an incentive prize from work, called Suncadia. I played golf, Rach went to the spa, yada yada. Pretty nice place, trying to copy Whistler without the ski hills.

Last photo is of a destoyed golf cart, the group that was ahead of us, not from Cintas, went over a 30 foot embankment and one guy recieved a huge head gash and concussion, cool.

See you all in August!!!

Anna's Party

Although she isn't officially 6 until Friday, we celebrated Anna's party yesterday.
It was lots of fun with the highlight being a homemade pinata which took the
kids about half an hour to destroy!
