Buying a home

Well, we have officially grown up!!! We are going to be buying a home, we hope. Its a little scarry but I'm sure we will be fine. It is a nice new home, not even built yet. It is located in a nice developement in Sooke, call Sunriver Estates, about 1/2 hr away from where we live now. This developement is growing rapidly and we have managed to secure a lot in the second phase. Right now there is about 300 home in there and ther will be around 800 by the time the deevelpoement is finished. There is only about 10 lots left in this phase and the next one will be even more expensive, but then again EVERYTHING around here is expensive!!!! I like the fact that we get some say in how the house is put together. I mean that we get to pick colours and alot of the little things that when buying a normal house you don't get a choice. Little things like lighting fixtures, door knobs/handles, flooring, cupboards and of couse anything extra that we want ...like a jetted tub in the master bath!!!! And YES we will be getting the jetted tub!!!

If you want to check out the house it is the Driftwood plan and we will be adding a basement onto it as well.

Christmas and Stuff

Okay, this should get me all caught up, then its off to beddy-by for me!!! These are some pictures mostly from Christmas and New Years Eve.



Daddy was downstairs with Haylei doing laundry and apparently it was easier to carry everything up together.

Daddy is feeding her a ketchup chip.

Keenan with his friends Erin and Cameron on New Years Eve

Still doing some catch up !!

Okay, now for the pictures. I know that I'm not writting that much to go with these blogs but I'm just wanting to catch up at this point. Then I will work on filling in any details later...

His gingerbread house looked sooo good. He did it all by himself and he was soooo proud of it.

No, we did NOT give her anything to drink!!!

Doesn't she look happy?????

I call this one "Daddy's Scowl" LOL!!

They are both just sooo adoreable!!!

Just Hanging Out

He still likes to play with the boxes, but now he plays with the presents that come in them too!!

Karate Keenan. The boots don't go so well but we were just on our way out. I keep forgetting to bring my camera to karate, but next week I will get some video of him to post.

Daddy at feeding time

Isn't he adoreable!!!!! I have posted these video's of James feeding Haylei for those of you who have never seen him with kids, especially his own. Okay, so that would be almost all of you. He makes all sorts of noises and stuff to keep her attention and I was trying to catch him but he always knew when I was doing it...kinda made it hard to catch him.

Catching Up

Okay, I know its been awhile and I promise I will catch you up on everything.

I have alot of photos to post but I also have a few videos for you all to enjoy, first is Haylei's first try at a jolly jumper. She isn't quite sure what to do but she is getting the hang of it now.

Next up is Keenan's Christmas concert, he was soooo cute. The crappy part is that I was trying to take pictures/video with my camera and shoot some footage on my normal video camera, the results weren't too great. Next year I hope James can go, he was away on course. Also, next year I will stick to one device!!!
