Visit to Calgary

Noah and I flew to Calgary last week to visit my mom. She just moved there in May, so we got to see her new place and where she works. We had an amazing time. First we drove out to Canmore to visit my Aunt, Uncle and Cousins and their kids. We had a great visit. The drive back was beautiful. We drove through Bragg Creek which took us to the south entrance of Calgary. What amazing scenery. My mom worked all week, so Noah and I tried to keep busy during the days. We went swimming at the YMCA. It was sooo much fun, yet terribly expensive, but worth it. We went to a nearby park and we also went to Ikea 3 days in a row!! Long story. One other great thing that came out of this trip, Noah no longer needs his soother!! He is officially growing up! Friday, the day before we left, mom had the afternoon off. We decided to take Noah to the zoo! It was so much fun and a little tiring from all the walking. Noah's favorite part of course was the little train ride:) Ever since Dale's parents took him to see Thomas the Train live in Winnipeg, it's all he ever talks about!! He doesn't really talk, but he won't let go of his trains. It's very cute. We flew back this past Saturday, it's so nice that the flight is only an hour!! As soon as Noah saw daddy he ran into his arms squeeling!! Everyone around us were smiling! It was so special:) Here are a few pictures from our trip.

The Joys of learning how to feed yourself!

Noah is pretty much eating all on his own. Well, actually he is. He won't really let me help him, he gets annoyed. I try, but I just have to learn to let go, mess is inevitable. It's just so hard!! He usually eats really well, but he still has trouble with soups:) I really want him to be a good eater by the time baby number two arrives!

20 weeks pregnant! Halfway there!

This is me, 20 weeks along as of April 9th! Yeah, only 20 weeks to go. So far I've only gained about 10 pounds, so I think I'm doing better than last time:) With Noah I ended up gaining 47 pounds!! I'm not going to let that happen again!

Noahs goose egg!!!

So, noah decided to take a dive off the back of our couch last week! He landed on the metal strip that separates the carpet from the kitchen floor. It was terrible! I was freaking out more than Noah was after I looked at his head! These pictures don't really show you how far out this bump actually stuck out! It was massive. I thought it was pooling with blood, but Dale thought I was being ridiculous. Maybe I was, but it was still scary.

Noah playing piano

When Noah and I were in Abbotsford we went and spent the afternoon at my Grandma and Grandpa's place. My Grandma had prepared my favorite, Borscht!! She also had fresh homemade buns!! I would fly to BC just for that! It was delicious, just thinking about it makes me want to book my next flight. Noah loves to play on the piano, so as soon as we got there, he headed right for it.

The New Baby!!

I had my ultrasound yesterday. The baby is healthy and very cute!! I'm due August 27th, so I get the joy of being pregnant the entire summer!! Yippey! I hope it's not going to be too hot this summer:) Well, Noah is very excited to meet his sibling (we know the sex of the baby!!). Noah kisses my tummy when you ask him where the baby is. It's so cute!!

Baby Bears Gym Class

Noah has been in gym since January. He loved it!! He has learned how to do somersaults, climb ladders, go accross balance beams(holding my hands of course). It has been great. He only has one more class next friday then he's done. I just thought I'd show you a few pics of him at the gym.


This is the certificate they give you at the end! Cute:)

My first Apple Pie!!

I baked my first apple pie a few weeks ago. It turned out heavenly!! I was so excited that I had to take pictures and show you all. I found the recipe online and it had something like 300 reviews at being the best pie ever! Doesn't it look yummy??!!

Coffee Beans

Fruits and Vegetables

Christmas 2006!

Well, we had a great Christmas this year, despite not having any family with us on Christmas day. Noah had so much fun opening his presents! It was so cute to see how excited he got when he opened everything. How fun when they can actually do it themselves:)

I love taking pictures

Webcam with Skype

Yes, I figured it out!!! I love our computer again:) You can do AV messaging to any computer through Skype! It's free and a lot more clear and smooth than msn. I got to see my brother Greg last night. So now I'm happy, I can webcam with family, seeing as I don't live near any of them anymore. So, if you get Skype, we'll be able to see eachother!

Our new Mac computer

Ahhhhh. So we got a new computer, a Mac. It's super nice, but I'm totally annoyed with it right now! I have msn messenger, but I can only get the old version. That means I can't video message with anyone but Mac owners! How silly is that. Our computer came with a built in camera, but I'll never be able to use it cause no one else owns a mac!! If anyone knows something I don't know, please fill me in!!

Emotional pregnancy experience!

Well, today I am about 6 weeks pregnant. I find I am a lot more emotional and tired this time around, if that's anymore possible!! Maybe cause I don't have a job, so I have more time to lay around. I love nap time. Well anyways, I had a major pregnancy emotional break down today in the car. I actually laughed at myself. Maybe so I wouldn't seem so stupid in front of Dale. He was good about it though. I said he loves me, that always makes me feel warm and fuzzy:) Well, the situation took place at Superstore! Not so super tonight!! We needed some groceries, but we didn't have a loonie. Great, only twoonies. We went inside and the lineup at the customer service counter was really long. People with returns and stuff. I saw the lottery counter only had one person there. What would that hurt to ask. I could see the lady behind the counter eyeing me up. She knew what I was going to ask. But I waited anyway. When I got up there, I said 'would you be able to spare me 2 loonies?' Very rudely she said no, go wait in the customer service line! I said 'what if I bought a loonie lotto ticket?' Not that I wanted to. But she said she was closing soon and didn't want to go low on loonies!! I didn't understand?!! So, I guess it kind of just hurt my feelings. I thought that wasn't very good customer service. Dale came over and said now what, I just said, let's leave!! So we headed over to Sobeys(my prefered shopping location), but on the way I broke down!! I couldn't believe I was crying so hard over that! I did laugh at myself and it made me feel better:)
