Our trip to Kitimat

I just got back from my mommy's. It is strange having a quiet house. Nice, but strange. Anyways, here are some awesome pics of the kiddos during our trip.

These are at the pond just before we left.

Waiting for Grandpa's bus.

On the bus to the Ferry. Nice tongue Keenan!! Note how Haylei is always in a different seat. She just wouldn't sit still!! LOL!!!

Haylei wasn't too sure about being outside on the ferry.

These are the cute t-shirts Auntie Dayna brought back from her travels for the kids. Thank you Auntie Dayna!!!

Grandpa and Uncle Mark attacked Keenan and pants him. Keenan wasn't too impressed by this. It was kinda funny though.

These last two are my favorite ones from the whole trip. I think this one just looks neat.

And isn't this the most precious picture EVER!!! She was glued to the window during the entire take off, that is Vancouver on the ground.

I have more but blogger is starting to act funny with my pics so I will stop it here for now.

Honey, if you are reading this we love you and are excited to see you soon.

Keenan, be good for Nana and Papa. Have a fun visit and have Nana give you and your sister hugs and kisses from me. I love you.

Going away..

Well, I am headed over to Vancouver tomorrow and the kids and I are going to spend the night at my fathers. Then up to Kitimat for a week, so even though I don't post often I probably won't be posting until after I get back. But from the amount of comments I get I doubt if it will be noticed. For those of you who do look and not coment......I will be back with some new pics.

Snakes

Is it me or is it the year of the snakes??? Everytime I turn around someone is talking about snakes. And if my little critter catcher Keenan doesn't come home with one...but TWO of them the other day.

This is the smaller one.

And this is the bigger one that was in our pond in the backyard.

WOO HOO I got it figured out :)

I couldn't get the video to flip. So it is a bit of a pain to look sideways but it is too funny.

Trying this again...

Camping Videos

I am trying to upload my videos and post them but I am having a hard time. It says it is uploaded then there is nothing there. I am getting frusterated. If I figure this out I will post the videos that I took of the kids when we were camping. Oh, and we were camping at Goldstream Park. It is about 10 mins out of town towards Duncan.

Great Fun

WHAT A WEEKEND. We had so much fun. I took the kids camping and we had a blast. I am exhausted now though and I am REALLY not wanting to clean up the trailer and stuff right now. So here I am procrastinating. LOL!!

Haylei had NO FEAR all weekend. She went every where and LOVED it. Everywhere that big brother went she wanted to follow. And I mean EVERYWHERE.

I picked up Keenan some of those caps that are supposed to go into a cap gun. He sat there forever exploding those little pieces of paper with rocks. SOOOOO much better than sitting in front of a playstation or something.

It rain on us the second day but sometime around 3pm it stopped and cleared up. It didn't bother the kids thou, they found something to amuse themselves...Haylei was loving splashing in the puddles, and Keenan got to use my friends Terry's IPOD headset. So they were both happy.

After it cleared up and we all had dinner we took a walk down to the Falls. It was only about a 15 minute walk from our campsite but the trail down to it is quite a bit of stairs. It wasn't that bad but we were all worried that Haylei wouldn't be able to do it and that we may have to take turns carrying her. But she wanted nothing to do with that. She walked the whole way there, stairs and all all by her little self. Plus she got to walk Terry's Jack Russell, Bailie. Then she walked up all of those stairs and all of the way back too. I was so impressed with her.

This little waterfall is beautiful and it is deep so you can actually swim in it. As it flows down there are it more or less turns into more of a stream and it is calm so you can wade in the more shallow parts. Keenan was in up to his waist. He was totally enjoying this place.

This next one is my favorite picture from the weekend.

This was a really great place to go camping. The campsites were good sizes and you were not so close to your neighbour that you could hear him fart in the morning. I actually stood in the campsite and looked around and could honestly say that I could see nothing but forest. It was nice. We will have to go back.

Alone again

Well, James is gone again. He left on Monday morning to Halifax for 5 months :( It sucks butt, but we will live. At least he will be home for 3 weeks during the summer so that is good :)

Not too much to say right now. Work is CRAZY busy and it is just going to get worse with most of my guys getting sent over to the mainland to fight the floods.

And of course James is gone so one of us got sick. It always happens when he isn't here. Little Miss Halyei is sick. But the worse part is HE gave it to her. Of course he didn't mean to but none the less now she is sick and he isn't here. Good ol' Murphy's Law.

Anyways I am taking the kids camping this weekend so I should have some good pics for you soon.

How could I forget ???

I said in the last post that I was going to post pictures of my cuties....well, how could I forget this one ????

Can you tell he was on leave when I took this picture? Hence the scruffy face. It is a good thinghe has to be clean shaven for work because this facial hair CRAP does NOT suit him. LOL!!

This smile melts my heart eveytime I see it. How did I get so lucky to get such a hottie you ask ?? I don't know but I sure am glad that I was :)

Picture Catch Up

I woke up this morning to a empty house. It is always strange to wake up to a quiet house wondering..."Where is my family." But I will take full advantage of it as it does NOT happen often and with James leaving again in 1 week for 5 months it won't happen again for a long time.

We finally have the new computer up and running so I will finally post some pics of my cuties.

Haylei is trying to put on Keenan's underwear. LOL!!

I love this pic of Keenan. Doesn't he look awesome!! What a little model :)

Long time....

I know I know it has been a long time since I have posted. It has been a little nuts around here with one thing or another. But we are going to put in the new computer this weekend then I will be back posting pic of the kids and stuff. I just don't want to download anything to the old computer right now and then have to clear them out.

So I will be back soon with some cute shots of the kids. Of course......

Haylei's First Hair Cut

Just look how long her bangs were. If her hair wasn't up it was ALWAYS in her face, and she didn't like that so it was time for the "First Hair Cut."

It went smoother than you think. Our little princess sat up on the counter playing with the toothpaste and stuff which kept her occupied and relatively still so I could do it. I think it makes a big difference. It makes her more like a "little girl" than "baby". It is kinda sad in a way but she STILL looks like the cutest little thing EVER!!

Short

Ok, so my computer has temporarily let be back in to Blogger so I am going to do another quick pic post for now. If it lets me back on another time I will post more than pics cuz MAN!! It has been a hectic(ish) week.

Haylei LOVES playing with the laundry baskettes!!

THE EASTER HUNT!!!

HAHA!! She didn't know where to start. She LOVES chocolate, seriously she will SCREAM!! for it.

I will post more soon, now that it will let me again. But for now, take care and I miss you all!!!

Quick picture update

Ok, I have been a little preoccupied since James came home. But after being hounded by my mom, and rightfully so, I will do a quick update FINALLY!! HAHA. (Hi mom)

Here is Keenan's green mohawk. It was a surprise for daddy, we did it the night before James came home, and YES it is gone now.

Keenan calls this his soldier face....haha!!

Here we are, the second car to show up on the Jetty, believe it or not we were NOT the first ones there. I knew I should have camped out the night before. LOL!!

More people have showed up now so the excitement is building and we moved from the car to the jetty with our signs in hand.

This is the fire tug that came in ahead of the ship to add a bit more of a show to their return. Apparently there was a helo and some other stuff too but to be honest I don't think too many people were paying attention to anything other than the ship.

OOHHHHHH, Here they come!!!!!!!!! And here is when the..."where is he" frantic searching starts.

Where is he???????????

Where is he ????????

WOOHOO!!!! There he is!!!! Dead center and still DEAD SEXY!!!!!!

My baby is back

As most of you know James finally got home on Saturday morning. I doubt if I will be on here much for the next little bit. We have lots of catching up to do. But I wanted to share this picture that was in the Times Colonist this morning. Enjoy and I will talk to you all LATER!! hehe
