Wee

Tuesday morning we took a quick trip up to West Ed. We took in one ride at the amusement park as a last pit stop before heading home. Luke is obviously on the tractor, and Katie is in the blue helicopter in the back ground. I know, its blurry, but I like the shot.

Red Carpet Glam

Last night my cousin Ali hosted a 1940's Red Carpet Party. It was amazing! We had so much fun preparing and planning what to wear and I have been looking forward to this for weeks. As you can see everyone there really got into the costumes, there were false eyelashes and red lips galore! Sam seemed to enjoy the evening with all the ladies and came in costume as well. The decorations were amazing and the food as well! I really wish once again that pictures did justice. All the work that went into this makes me tired just thinking about it. Once again I will put the link to Ali's blog so you can read all the details. All I can say is wow and what a blast! Playing dress up as an adult is so much more fun than I remember as a kid.

What a Trooper

On Fathers Day, we had both sets of parents and my brother and sister in law over for supper. I was set on making steak and lobster, but I don't BBQ. It scares me to death to do anything with fire, so Aaron being the wonderful husband he is took care of the steak for me. Unfortunately Sunday was touch and go for weather to say the least. The picture doesn't give a clear picture as to how bad it was. Most of the time it was pouring rain and coming in at a 45 degree angle. The wind was terrible! To top it off it there was also lightning and thunder. Like it says what a trooper. At least he could do it with a smile, and he was also entertaining the neighbours in their sunroom. Thanks Aaron, the steaks were delicious!

Played out

A week ago, one of my best friends and her two girls came to visit for a week from Vancouver. Katie and Isabella shown above were so excited to see each other. I wish I had a video of them seeing each other at the airport and realizing who they were seeing and the running hug (I should say monster running hug) that resulted. Words will not describe it. It was so good to be able to catch up and talk whenever we wanted to. It has been very quiet here this past week. The two oldest shared a bedroom together and this was the last night. They were so tired! We aren't sure how it all worked out, but when we checked on them, Isabella was burried under the covers, you only knew she was there because of the snoring. To add to it, every stuffie in the room was around and on top her and the bed. Katie was at the foot of the bed on her toy box, just as pictured. It was quite the sight. I wish I had more photos of the week, but Andrea is the photographer and not me. Lets just end it with saying, I am so looking forward to seeing everyone at the end of August. Only 9 more weeks! Thank you for coming Andrea, Isabella and Abigail. We love you.

Lead Line

On Sunday, Katie was priveledged enough to take part in a lead line class here in Lacombe. My cousin Haley asked if Katie would like to do this, and of course this was something Katie would love. We didn't tell her until that morning and she had a great time. There were 2 other entrants in the class (all 4 year olds) and they all won a red first place ribbon. She rode Duke who is also 4, and they were lead around a ring a couple of times. Her job was to smile big and stay quiet. I'm slightly worried that we are headed toward having a horse. We'll see, maybe a dog isn't so bad. Thanks for a great morning Haley and Wendy!

Unforgetable

A little over a week ago, my cousin Ali planned and hosted a baby shower for Sam and I. As you can see, it was beautiful and I am still amazed at all the work and time she put into it. She planned it as a country chic baby shower with my favourite colours. I wish that many of you had been there to see it and to join in on the fun. I can't describe it enough so here is the link to her blog with all the details.

Lastly, thank you Ali. I had an amazing time and it meant the world to me!

What a Brute

I took a trip to the community health centre today to see what Sam weighs at 1 month. What a shock when the scale read 13lbs 11oz! I know he is growing like a weed, but I was still slightly shocked.
