Camping

For our second camping trip of the year we went to Brewers campground at Aspen Beach with the Mullens and the Cuthills. Steph and Sean came for Saturday night too! It's so nice there with lots of trees, and the beach is great! The kids had an awesome time playing and riding their bikes. We stayed an extra day, but it was rainy. We still had a good time though relaxing and reading.

Edmonton

A few weeks ago we made the trek to Edmonton since grandma Mar was there visiting and it was closer than going to Sask. even though it's only 3 hours away it took us quite a bit longer because Erica does not like her car seat! We went to Auntie Debbie's for supper and got to see Auntie Karen and Jake too, and Amie got to slip 'n slide and play golf in the backyard. Sunday we went to the farmers market and Galaxy Land at West Ed Mall and tried some yummy sandwiches that Mike's cousin's husband was featuring to promote his new food truck.

6 Months!

I cannot believe Erics is 6 months old already! Time is flying like crazy. She's such a cutie pie :). Amie is so good with her and Erica's face lights up whenever she sees Amie.

Erica is eating solids now and definitely prefers sweet potatoes and pears over peas and beans. She is rolling over lots, and it's fun to see her playing with her toys and sticking her tongue out to make funny sounds. Her little feet are so chubby I can't get her sandals on.

Mothers Day

Mothers' Day weekend we went camping in Drumheller - our first camping trip of the year and Erica's first one ever! It went better than expected, though I did spend a lot of time in the camper; feeding, changing, and getting Erica to sleep. We went with 3 other lovely families and Amie had a blast riding her bike and hanging out with the other kids. On Mothers' Day the weather was beautiful and we went to the outdoor spray park and saw lots of dino statues around town. Then we went out for supper at BP's. Later after the kids were asleep we had a campfire and I even got to read a magazine on the iPad! It was a great day and now I get to use the gift certificates for Kobo and Old Navy!

 Erica's first bath in the camper bathtub.  Love those arms :)

Amie's preschool class had a really cute presentation for the moms on the Friday before the weekend.   All the kids made a special place mat and a card with tissue flowers and had a marigold in a pot they decorated to give to their moms.  They also served iced tea and cookies and sang some very special songs.  I'm so happy to be a mom!

4 Months!

Holy cow! How did 4 months go by already? Baby Erica is soooo cute :) -she's a very happy baby and loves to 'talk'. I just love all her cute rolls, so different from skinny mini's Steph and Amie! She had her shots yesterday :-( poor baby, so isn't feeling quite herself today. Lots of cuddles.

Amie has been busy lately with lots of drawing activities. She even complexly used up some of her gel pens!

Breakfast with Stephanie

On Monday we took Steph out to Cora's for breakfast to celebrate another year of university completed! We are so proud of her :) It was her first time eating there, and as always the food was great!

It was also Erica's first time in a highchair and we had to put padding all around her to keep her upright, but she enjoyed the scenery.

Amies pics

Amie has really been into taking pictures with my phone and even though it takes me a while to delete the 50 that are just of random things, like the carpet, Erica's toys, an eyeball, a drawer of clothes, etc., it is neat to see pics taken from her perspective and she does get some good shots!
