Wow!! It's been awhile!!

I have a lot of Catching up to do!!!!!

I have been busy all summer with the girls and have pondered the last couple months on a few changes that we hope occur in the New Year!!

As of October 1st our home has been forsale and Blake & I have decided we'd like to eventually move out of Fort McMurray. I am very anxious/nevous/excited. We thought about staying in Alberta but now have considered moving out East to Nova Scotia!!!

Our summer has been full of wonderful events as Hailey completed her first school year in June. We took a family vacation in July and went to the Calgary Stampede. Blake and I also went to see KidRock in concert at the Stampede with No kids!!!

In August we added another member to the family our Puppy Lexi!! The girls have fun with her most days and she is now getting used to us and our home!!

September was our 'back to routine' month with Hailey back into Preschool and Blake working very hard at Spruceland Lumber. We recently celebrated Payton's 1st Birthday on October 12th & Brooke's 2nd Birthday which is coming up on Monday October 20th!!!!

Here are some pictures which will bring you up to date!!!!

New News

The weather is lots nicer and we are finding ourselves getting very busy. Blake and his cousin Duke (our roommate) have taken on some extra work for extra money finishing basements, building decks and other odd jobs. I just recently got a new calling at church as Visiting Teaching Supervisor and Brooke is FINALLY in Nursery!!!! Hailey is Loving school and this month we meet with her teacher to decide her route for next year. With all of us always on the go Payton has been a great baby and is very assumed by her 2 older sisters. We are all looking forward to the summer and hopefully seeing everyone if we can get away for a vacation.

Snow, Snow & more Snow!!!!!!!!!!!

Just when you think Winter has come to an end and Spring is here... Winter Returns!!! Well the snow at least! On Friday I was wearing flip flops outside and by Saturday morning we had snow drifts and by the end of the weekend my van was buried in the driveway and I had to push snow out of the way to open my front door. Gotta Love Alberta!!


My NEW van that I absolutely LOVE!!!! Full tank of fuel and I can't even drive it. Snowed In and as you can see it's still snowing!!!!

This is the road covered in snow and some cars on the street that will have to stay put!

My van Tuesday Evening!

Snow drift between our home and our neighbours!!

Sick little Brookie

Well... never say Never!!!! My kids have 'never' been real sick up until a couple days ago. Little Brookie has had a very bad bug in her system causing her to puke constantly. Her grandma and I took her to the hospital yesterday (Day 3) and they assured us that everything was okay and recommended gravol. As per his request I did just that but still nothing has helped. It has been a long process and I have kept very busy washing her bed sheets up to 9 times a day. We're hoping that tomorrow or even this evening will be lots better than today!!! She even wanted up with me just to cuddle into me and fell asleep right across my lap like a baby! The pictures will show you just how cute Brooke can be!!
Sick or not!!


Brooke on a juice diet & brushing her teeth.


Awww. Brooke laying down watching cartoons with her teddy!

This was right after she climbed up on me and fell asleep!!! I had to pretend I was sleeping too and took the picture myself. Difficult task!

Awww!! My baby Brookie!!
