My Wreck

I was really hoping that I would be able to follow up the last blog with something like the final results of our kitchen renovation or thanksgiving or my friend's wedding but alas this is what I have for you all.



So I was on my way home. I was over by Safeway and I was stopped at the stop sign waiting for the traffic to clear so i could go. i looked both ways and thought it was clear I pulled out and got hit. The kids are fine. I got banged up a little and the lady of the other car had minor injuries (so I was told). Here's the pic's.

Ellies birthday

It's Ellie's birthday. She is now two. I am sitting here today after the madness and I am simply astounded at the fact that two years ago today I was sitting in my hospital room with my new baby. I didn't have a clue was was a head of me. I am so thankful for what I have learned from her. I went from being a girl to whatever I am now.... maybe more humble or less self-absorbed. She is two and in two years she has amazed me and I am looking forward to another year with her.

September long

September long weekend we blessed Lucy on sunday in waterton and then we took our first family trip up to the zoo in calgary and it was pretty fun except where are the polar bears and penguins????? Ellie had the best time and now if you ask her about monkeys she will tell you,

"EWWWWW stink.....poo Ewwwww"

AND after she gets done telling you about the monkeys she will immeadiatly will tell you about the elephants and the giraffs.

Once we were done at the zoo, Dusty put ellie on his shoulders to carry her back to the car and she totally passes out on his head. It was the cutest thing ever. Such a good time.

this summer

ok ok so I'm like the worst "blogger" ever but who knew life could get so busy. So an update eh??? Well lets see.

We've been hanging out a bunch with Brook and Ryan and their little girl, Sage. We've been camping up at waterton a few times in my family's trailer. We've been busy laying sod down in our yard (well we did that a couple of weeks ago and now we can walk on it) My yard is no longer just dirt. I love it!!! I think Ellie might love it more.

Lucy has been to the doctor a few times and we have to go see a pediatrician because she's choking a lot and so hopefully they'll figure out what's going on with that.

Yah so that's my entire life so far this summer and tonight we're off to the stampede..... oh yeah and another side note. I bought Ellie her first pair of wranglers which I vowed never to do but I caved and they do look adorable.

Hello Lucy!!

We welcomed a new addition to our family at 2:08pm on June 15, 2007. Her name is Lucy Elizabeth Louise and she weighed 9 lbs 3 oz and was 20 inches long.

Family Traditions

Christmas 2004! We took Rob's quad to cut our first tree.

December 2005! Ellie was too little for the quad so we took Dusty's company truck out.

Christmas of 2006!!

Dusty was super excited this year because Ellie could finally ride on the quad so all three of us piled onto our own quad and cut down our tree together!!

Ellie and her new duds from Grandpa!!!
