What a vacation we had, First we went to a good Friday service in Drumheller, then drove like crazy to Butte Montana, woke up and Drove even more to Las Vegas Nevada.  When we got there it was night time so we had to go to bed, but then on Sunday when we woke up, Daddy took us to the pool to play it was warm and beautiful. then we celebrated Jesus rising from the dead with a great meal with great friends.  Monday Daddy took Me to the M&M store on the Las Vegas Strip. Mommy let Joshy jump on the bed and sleep some more.   Tuesday Was a HOT HOT HOT day so we drove our cars from Las Vegas we went through Arizona, and ended up in California and went to the Valley of Fire It was Beautiful!! Then on Wednesday we went and had a family day at the Bellagio Hotel where we were able to experiance a little of Holland, and their beautiful flowers, we also visited the Flamingo, and Cosmopolitan . Thursday we drove to see "the" London Bridge In a small town called Lake Havasu in Arizona it was along the famous route 66. Daddy was in his glory driving along that road, it was amazing.    Then Friday we went to Mandalay bay and saw the shark reef. Saturday we got up early left Vegas, then hit a snow storm in Utah. made it home sweet home Sunday evening now Mommy is swearing at the computer for loosing some pics and deleting others. so good night Mommy needs a time out, will show the other photos at Christmas :)

well.. This is a quick update I know I know it's been so recent that we updated last.. but Momma's on a roll :) So Mommy is helping plan a ladies retreat that happens in June, the theme is hearing God's voice.... and the verse that the speaker wants to use is John 10:1-17 and it speaks about how the sheep know the shepherds voice... So mommy took us to a lovely farm just out side of Rosebud take pictures of the sheep. and we made new friends some of the animal kind, and one of the people kind, she is a nice mom of three big (teenager) kids, and they have sheep, cows, horses, a pony... also breed grey hounds and have  a border collie named Bear.. we will visit them again. :) 

yes once again it's been almost a year since..

Good friends always...

and where would you wear your boots?? 

Wow, where to Start.. Last time we left you was on Family Day weekend..!   Well we have had more family time as well.. Nanna was in Devon, so Mommy threw us kids in the car (with Daddies blessing as he said he had a lot of work to do something about the government sucking us dry... we don't know what he is talking about Bath time is as wet as ever!) and we went up and spent some time with Auntie Stephanie Uncle Jonathan and Amelia.. Also Frodo was able to meet and pester Leifda.. Good times were had by all.. Then we came home on the Sunday promptly went up to Grandma and Grandpa's and flew kites with Auntie Vava. What a wonderful family we have.. We love all our aunties and Uncles, those who live far away and see on skype with bugs on their nose. and those who live a little closer and send us love from over the phone. So blessed.  Now we are getting ready to go on vacation and will have more to write about then LOVE YOU ALL!

Well this February has been great so far, as Mommy has picked up a new hobby of scrap booking, and also has decided to go for a healthier life style and has joined weight watchers and is running every other day, much to Frodo's chagrin, he is not a born athlete but Mommy is breaking him in slowly.. Also we have started going to Auntie Nana's to visit with Elizabeth and Claira we also have had the honor of having Julian join us as well.  This past weekend we had family day so we decided to meet up with Auntie Steph and Uncle Jonathan and Scrunch in Red Deer Auntie Sylvia and Uncle Christopher were there too, it was SO MUCH fun and food :) the night before Mommy and Daddy decided to take us up to stay in a hotel, Mommy made the arrangements, so we arrived in Red Deer, had supper at Montana's then Mommy wanted to take Frodo for a run. so Daddy and us kids cheered her on from the car while driving to the hotel.  One thing we should add, it was plus 5 and sunny when we left home, when we arrived in Red Deer it was a winter wonderland times 10!! so Mommy still took Frodo for a run and she said she did a nose dive right in front of people ordering big macs in the drive through... She's O.K!  and made it to the Holiday Inn where we have stayed before!   Well we cheered like CRAZY from the warmth of the car :) but she smiled and waved at us :) no more biffing it :).  Then Mommy went to check in to the hotel, and the guy at the front Desk even recognized her, and said "Hello welcome again it's nice to see you!" which mommy thought was so nice, but as he was looking up our reservation it dawned on mommy she made reservations at the BEST WESTERN!!! oops now she has to go tell Daddy :) anyways the BW is at the OTHER end or Red Deer almost at Auntie Steph and Uncle Jonathan's house! but it was nice, as there was some curling thing and lots of people in the busy part of Red Deer, but not that many on the out skirts.  we had the pool to our selves and swam until 9 pm that night, and then Mommy and Daddy took us again the next morning, It was great...!  Then On Monday we all met up with our family went for lunch, went to look at fun stuff and then had coffee and tried to speak to Auntie Angie and Uncle Trevor, but Tim Hortons was TOO loud...   All in all it was a great GREAT family weekend, even Frodo had a good time!

ITS BEEN SOOOOO LONG!!!!

Hello well Mommy has dropped the ball BIG time and it's been forever since she has updated our blog, Well Daddy, Hannah and Joshy all celebrate birthdays this month! We had a tinker Bell party on the 5th of this month.

A day after Hannah's birthday Mommy brought home a BIG surprise {well maybe not so big in size) a little miniature schnauzer we named him Frodo, he's a small size but will be sure full of adventures, as long as he STOPS peeing on the rug...don't worry mommy cleaned it up!  We take him on Three walks a day so that he is wore out when we are inside and Joshy is learning to like him more and more as time goes on., especially his puppy food! that seems to be Joshy's number one snacking spot.... Also so BIG news Joshy walked to day all by himself. it was very very exciting, mommy threatened to push him down so he wouldn't do it, but Joshy is just so darn cute that she couldn't resist.. It's so awesome to see how much we change in a year or four... a week ago Hannah was three and calling mommy "Mommy" well a week later and it's "MM-oommm!  mom this mom that!
