One magical morning...




Grama and I stayed up really late on night last week when Richard was out of town and set up my Christmas village. In the morning, when the kids woke up it was very magical with the lights and music. Faith likes to sneak in and move trees and Nathan has to be held back or the railway would in major trouble.

4 Days Later


2 Days Later


Back from the Hospital


We had some big plans THursday night, Grama was coming over for dinner and the missionaries from our church, then we were going to have a girls night with TV and goodies! Faith was so excited when Grama arrived she tripped down the steps outside into a column and bruised under her arm, 20 minutes laters she flew over the handle bars of her ride-on horse and banged her nose and chin, and then to top it off the missionaires just came through the door and she drove the same horse into a pile of toys and flew over the handle bars into the fireplace! She had to go to the hospital and have it taped, she screamed when anyone tried to look at it. Now she shows it off proudly and tells about her experience.

Best Buds!


The kids playing in Nathan's room. Whenever Faith isn't in his room with him he starts yelling a t his gate!

Big Trouble



This is Nathan playing in his room, I put up the gate and he crawls around knocking everything over. He can just barely pull himself up and try and look for me.

Faith's new room


Faith's room is also the same as in Whitehorse, but I actually got the pink flowers painted this time since I wasn't 8 months pregnant!

Nathan new room


Nathan's room is the same as the one I did in Whitehorse, I just did it in January and all his stuff matches it. Those hand-painted waves took hours!

I'm a Handyman!



When we first moved into our new house, we flushed an upstairs toilet and then noticed water in the wall in the room below. The previous owners had put a nail through a water pipe for a picture and never knew since the nail was plugging it. Rich cut a hole in the wall and repaired the pipe then he had to fix the wall which now looks pretty good.

Happy Halloween




Tinker Bell and my handmade Peter Pan Costume. Faith and Abbie had a halloween party at Grama's then went to visit Nana & Gramps. Nathan helped hand out treats at Gramas while we took the girls around the block - they were so impressed by all their loot!

Faith & Nathan


It's Fall at Home



Faith and her cousin Abbie getting a taste of Fall weather after getting back from Mexico

Parasailing




Our last day right before leaving to the airport we decided to go parasailing - it was pretty windy, but so much fun!

El Mortero


Our last night in Cancun, we went to a traditional restaurant and we were entertained by live Mariachi singers!

The family




Braids


After a week in Mexico, my hair was driving me nuts! I finally went and found a local to braid my hair, when I got back Faith decided to have hers done too. She was very proud and when I had to eventually take them out because they were curling she was so upset

A little Fish!




Gymnastics

Faith loves her gymnastics class. She ran around
and did her own thing the first class, but now she listens very well. She is the most outspoken child in her class - when she is scared or can't do something she yells for her teacher to help her until she comes.
