April in Review


This month literally FLEW by.....it's like I lost a month of my life....that's seriously how fast it went! It's not like we were doing a whole lot, time just seemed to pass by quickly. Good thing we took some pictures to prove that April actually happened.....
Enjoy the marathon of pictures....

February in Review

Another month has flown by, and I must admit, I did not take as many pictures as I should have. It is amazing how 29 days can go by and I wonder what we did? Besides Valentines Day, and Phil being away for a week at the end, the days just flew by without too much excitement. We have enjoyed a lot of park time as there has not been a lot of snow or severely cold temperatures (nope...don't miss Alberta winters at all!!), and Kaitlyn also finished her swimming lessons. Lily and Kaitlyn spend a lot of time playing with each other, and get along for the most part.....At any given time, at least one of the girls will be wearing a) a Princess Dress, b) a swimsuit, c) nothing!! :) I'm so glad they have each other for this stage of our lives, with travelling often, they don't have the kind of friends they had in Three Hills to play with.  Homeschooling is going well now that we have our schedule set and I have a better idea of what I am sopposed to be teaching Kaitlyn. We are over halfway through the alphabet, and Kaitlyn has been reading 2 words (ie: Bat) that I write out for her each day on her own (sounding them out) which is a good start. I wonder when she will be able to read her first book to herself?!
Here's a snapshot of what we did in February:

My sweet Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn was so excited about her mask,
but quickly realized she needed a cape to complete the look!

Wedding # 300......it is a daily occurrence in our house! 

This time they managed to recruit a Prince.....

Face Painting Fun

Do you see any similarities? 

Kaitlyn had to be a cat too.

Snowbirds & Lovebirds

2 bits of exciting news in my family.....thought I would share it with you...in no particular order.....


My brother in law Craig is now officially a pilot for the Snowbirds. This has been his dream for a long time and he is finally living it! We are so proud of him! Can't wait to see him in action.....
The highlight of every air show

The best pilots in Canada
My little sister Rachel is getting hitched to a great guy (date TBD)....Derek is his name.....they make a great couple. It feels like yesterday that Phil and I were calling around to tell our close friends and family about our exciting news!! We are so happy for them and can't wait to see what God has in store for them as a couple....We love you two! Engagement pictures to come....


I  bet you they'll be sporting some funky shoes....
