Pig Tails

I've waited a long time for this!!!

It's very fun to have a little girl.

We went to the cabin for a whole week.

Our cousins Violet and Lucy came to join us for a few nights.

Lucy and Isabel seemed to want everything the other one had.

We celebrate Isabel's 1st Birthday.

July 16

She liked the bowl of whipped cream the best!

It's 30 degrees outside and this is what Elijah wants to hear.

He said when he grows up he's going to cheer for Saskatchewan Roughriders.

It's seems as though someone's plan is working...

Isabel has spent the week as an only child... she appears to be adjusting quite nicely.

Enjoying the view
Getting into lots of trouble... she is getting very busy

Jackson graduated!!!

Congratulations... it was a really cute ceremony.

Today was hat and tie day at Jackson's school.

Elijah dressed up too.

hmmmm... they look like trouble

I had a great day spending time with Violet...

We baked cookies... peanut butter (Violet's request)
We went to ballet...

Our little girl at 9 months...

A couple random pictures from the week.

A beautiful spring day at the park.

Isabel is sitting!!! at the ripe young age of 8 1/2 months, she's not rushing into anything here. She also cut her 2nd tooth today.

My good looking boys....

I can't believe our son is old enough to wear full hockey gear...... I also have no idea if the gear he is wearing is on correctly as he completey dressed himself? Jackson starts hockey on Monday!

We spent spring break at the cabin. Dad joined us for the weekend.

Jackson and his dad power washed the decks.
She is one lucky girl... her brothers give her so much attention.

Isabel cut her first tooth so she's sucking on her lips.

Just a quick picture of Isabel.... Shirlee made her cute bib and she's showing it off.

On Sunday we took the kids to Holland Park in Surrey to enjoy some more Olympic Festivities. Our friends Will and Braydon and Taylor joined us.

I'm not sure how much fun Isabel had... but she showed her Canada Spirit by not taking off her hat.

They had a pretend curling rink which the boys thought was pretty fun.

The boys had their faces painted. Elijah has Sumi and Jackson has Muck Muck.

They even got to go pretend sledding... Only in BC is the toboggan run white carpet. Not quite as good as the real thing.

Go Canada Go!

We took the boys out of school and took a trip downtown Vancouver. We saw the Olympic torch, the mascots and lots and lots of people! The skytrain was very exciting.

At Robson square we saw the mascots on ice and Elijah was really upset when they left. He wanted more mascots... especially Sumi.

This is a 'Miga' mini zamboni. Very cool.

Go Canada Go!

It was a quiet bus ride home. The Olympics have been so much fun.
