Princesses & Canada Day Moose Cake

The arrival of Baby Boo 2 is coming up quick. We’ve been busy little monkey’s running around getting the nursery ready. It looks amazing and I’ll definitely have pictures up soon. The tummy’s getting huge too. Melissa has six weeks to go and her tummy is bigger than when she was 2 weeks overdue with Tyler. It’s a lot of fun watching and feeling our little monkey moving around in there and we can’t wait to meet him or her.

On Wednesday my clients, Rockin’ River Productions, flew me up to Fort McMurray to help with the Dwight Yoakam concert that they were putting on. It was a great show even if you aren’t into that kind of music and everyone there was just having a blast. Except for the lady who left her kid alone so she could go into the beer garden. BRUTAL!! The RCMP helped explain some parenting rules to her as they escorted her out of the concert. Rockin’ River’s holding their second annual River Fest music festival in Mission on August 13 & 14, so if you’re into country music you should definitely check it out.

And to put a big smile on your face, here are a couple videos of the kids having some fun. The first one is of Tyler and Grover just playing around. You definitely get to see what great buds they are. And the second video is of Tyler cracking the eggs for a cake. I’m SOOO proud! She used to just smash them, so it’s great that she can actually open them up without leaving shells in the bowl.

Christmas is Coming!!

So yeah, it’s been a CRAZY busy summer and fall and well our old blog software wasn’t that easy to post with so I upgraded to WordPress. I’m not saying you’ll see a lot more posts, but I can guarantee that you’ll see more regular photo updates.

Onto the update. There was a bunch of stuff this summer. I went Mountain Biking at Silverstar with the guys and had a great time though I ended up rolling my ankle on the first day, though I toughed it out the second day, but paid for that for a month and half as it healed. Dang that hurts.

We had a GREAT trip up to Grandpa Gilbert’s. Tyler got to play in the garden lots, went on a bungee trampoline and got to go to the game farm up there.

The HUGE news for the summer was that we went to DISNEYLAND!!!! We went with Casey and our friends Mark & Laura and their kids Taye & Nya. We had so much fun! Especially Tyler. She got to wear her princess dress lots and LOVED everything about the trip. Especially the characters and rides. We’ll definitely be going back one day!

After that it was a bunch of work around the house. We laid a new portion of our concrete sidewalk and then re-coated the fir floors in the house. Both projects worked out really well.

And now we come up to today’s news. We have a new furry member of the family named Grover. Yes Grover like the Muppet and the Monster At the End of This Book. He’s an 8 week old Welsh Terrier that we got from Darwyn Welsh Terriers in Mission of all places. There are only a few registered breeders in Canada and one of them happened to be 10 minutes from our house. They’re great people and breed some AMAZING Welsh Terriers. We have already posted some pictures and will have lots more to come.

That’s about it for now. We’ll have weekly photo updates and you might even see a blog post or two. We hope everyone’s getting into the Christmas spirit. We already have the Christmas music going in the car and have the Christmas lights up.
