OUR TRIP BACK TO ONTARIO...

We had a great trip back to Ontario this summer! It was sooo nice to see everyone and have a bunch of great visits that were long overdue. We were up at Art & Lorna's cottage for a couple days which is always alot of fun, a couple of shots below with Andrew rippin' around on the SeaDoo... so much fun! Great times with family & friends and we look forward to everyone meeting our new little man at our next visit back!

Andrew on the SeaDoo!!!

I'll be on there next year!!! Can't wait!!!

IT'S A BOY...

We went for my ultrasound today and all went well. We are happy to announce that baby Ward will be a boy! A couple of pics from the ultrasound to have a peek at our new little man! Everything else went well at the appointment and we are looking forward to meeting our new addition in the new year.

STAMPEDE SMOKER PARTY

What would Stampede be without a BBQ Smoker Party, horses and quadding? Randy taking Secret for a ride... or is it the other way around?

The keeper's of the BBQ, Andrew & Ed did an awesome job with the smoker!


Auntie Nita & Andrew out for a spin on the quad...

And finally... the BBQ!!! The ribs were outstanding and everyone enjoyed the day!

FIRST PEEK AT BABY...

All went well, baby is measuring a little larger so little Ward might be arriving a wee bit earlier then expected, we'll see....

NEWS FROM CALGARY...

Well, for those of you who don't know yet... Andrew & I are expecting again and baby is due to arrive January 14th, 2009. Everything is going well, I have had 3 ultrasounds already and all is good so far. I am just over 11 weeks and my doctor is wonderful and taking great care of mom & baby. More news, Andrew has started a new position this week with a different company and is very pleased about his move and looking forward to some new challenges. I am planning on coming back to visit the second week in August for about a week, still on the fence if Andrew will be joining me, but hopefully :) . Stampede is approaching quickly, we have our friends from BC coming into town for a couple of days for some good ol' country stampeding which we are all looking forward to. Well that about wraps it up... try and get some pics up in the next couple of weeks. Hope everyone is well and enjoying the summer! xoxo

SPRING... Finally!

Well, I think that spring has finally arrived despite our miserable weather last week with our Vancouver like rain. Beautiful out today, the sun in bright, flowers are blooming, green grass and it's about 20 degrees. YEAHHHHH!!! Things are all good here, Andrew has been golfing as much as possible and I have been finishing up some more larger blankets for the hospitals for the spouses when they are there waiting in the rooms. Nice to have something to snuggle up with. Dad is coming for a brief visit at the end of June and then maybe a trip home in August for Andrew & I, haven't quite worked that all out yet, but it would be nice to see everyone! Hope everyone is well and loooking forward to the summer!

WHAT NOT TO WEAR...

The girls from my office and I went to this AWESOME studio in Calgary called Studio Gorgeous. There was six of that went and it was like What not to Wear... SO FUN!!!! They had the studio designed beautifully, with racks of clothes, wine & appies and totally girly. It was like playing dress up for big girls! We all had a great time and made just a few purchases $$$... love my new jeans called Miss Me's, great for all of us girls with a little junk in the trunk! The Studio books private parties as well as you can hire either one of them to clean out your closet and re-vamp your wardrobe! You can also hire them as a personal shopper for whatever your needs may be and these ladies are fantastic. We learned some great tips and had a great time!!!
