My Vermont Trip

Before we went to Kelowna. Costco sent me out to Vermont to go to a Seminar regarding Michelin tires. I was able to test 6 different type of truck tires that Michelin/BFG makes. We did some 4x4 driving in a mountain resort for the life of me I can not remember the name of the place. It was in Burlington, Vermont though. I actually enjoyed the time there. I learned alot about what the truck tires that we sell are capable of... Some of these pictures are of some of the other people that came for the seminar and what the tires are able to withstand.

Kianna loves the backyard. The last owners left her the swing set and that little playset. Which she just loves.


Kianna playing catch with Gizmo. Who is also enjoying the back yard as well.


Still playing catch.

Trip to Kelowna

Sorry everyone. I have been a very bad blogger. I really have not had any time. We are still trying to get settled into the new house. I will post pics of the new house when its a little neater. Until then enjoy some of the pics from Kelowna.

Having fun on the trampoline

Sylvan Lake

So today we went to the lake with the Sandi, Scott and the kids. Let me tell you, Kianna had a blast. She loved being on Sandi and Scott's boat. And don't get me started on her tube ride. She didn't want to get out of it. Here are some pictures from our day.

P.S. to the grandparents- She was totally safe in the boat and in the tube. :-)


Kianna figuring out that she cant walk down the steep hill. So, she figured out that its easier to crawl down backwards.


Trying out the trampoline with mommy and the girls.


Have a fun tube ride with mommy and the girls.


Waving to mommy from the tube. If you can blow this up you can actually see the smile on her face. Like I said she just loved it.


Naomi getting up on the ski's. GREAT JOB!!!!

Kianna's Birthday at Uncle Scott and Aunt Sandi's

So I must apologize for the tardiness of this post. We have been extremely busy these last few days. Here is but a few of the pictures from Saturday and Scott and Sandi's place.














Wasn't sure what to do.



Singing Happy Birthday to her. She loved it!



Sporting the new swimsuit from Uncle Troy, Aunt Chelsea and her cousin Alyssa.

Trip to the Zoo

This past weekend we decided to spend an afternoon at the Edmonton zoo... we were a little bit dissapointed at the lack of animals to see, but Kianna did have a chance to meet some goats in the petting zoo.



Kianna also enjoyed trying to stick her fingers through the fences trying to pet the rabbits... I think they were probably her favorite out of all the animals that we did get to see. It didn't take long for her to get bored of the few animals and just want to run around...


One of the few interesting animals that we did get to see was this tired looking camel that was in desperate need of a haircut... and as you can tell by the look on Kianna's face, she wasn't super impressed by the camel either!

Keeping Mom Busy

For any of you that know Kianna, you know that she is a busy girl... and she's not slowing down. The more she walks the faster she gets and she keeps us laughing and on our toes. As you can see, the other day she emptied out the laundry basket for me... so that she could crawl inside.


Kianna discovered the water in the toilet a while ago now, but yesterday for the first time she figured out that you can put stuff in the toilet... needless to say there are now a couple of shoes and a bottle being disinfected - and as Grandma and Grandpa pointed out; at least she can't flush yet!

Abbotsford

The first weekend of May the family made one last trip out to Abbotsford before I go back to work. It was a great chance to get my side of the family together and to watch the two girls play together. A lot of the week that we were there consisted of Kianna running after Alyssa trying to touch her and Alyssa crawling away as fast as she could. They were great together and a lot of fun to watch! It was a very nice treat for Kianna to be able to go from inside to outside as often as she wanted. Coming from Edmonton it definitely felt like summer and she had a great time in just her diaper. We look forward to getting a new house with a fenced back yard so that she can have that freedom at home.


And of course what would a trip out to Abbotsford be without Auntie Kyla... taking care of both girls for us so that we get a break!
