What Have We Been Doing?

Wow, it has been a few weeks since I've updated! We have been staying busy; out and about in the city and Clint was home for a week too, so that was nice! It is hard to believe that the summer is already half over....that means the time for me to go back to work is soon approaching. I have been spending some more time looking for a dayhome; it doesn't seem to be proving easy so far. So what's new and what have we been doing......

Makayla has been working on her "funny faces"!



We spent some time with Nicky and Brooklyn in between their vacations (BC & Australia)!




We have spent some time at the beach!





Then Clint was home for his one week off a month, so we decided to take our first family holiday! We went to Canmore for 4 nights! It was a great trip!













The day after we got home from Canmore we went to Capital Ex, the annual exhibition here (same as what we just went to in Calgary with Auntie Cindy - Stampede). That was fun!

So, basically Makayla and I have been keeping busy, trying to pass time while Clint is away, but also trying not to let her grow too quickly! Makayla has been working on crawling, which for her really means getting up on her knees, then face planting, trying again and sliding backwards. Just within the last few days she has figured out that if she sits up and pushes with her hands she can turn around, so she has been doing lots of "circles". Also, just two days ago she figured out that if she gets up on her knees then pushes backwards she can actually sit up; she is so proud, as is Mommy!

Graffiti is still a go, I just need to get somemore parties booked; I have one for later in August and a trade show in September, also a few people who want to book for September!

Happy 1st Canada Day Makayla! July 1, 2010 = 143 Years Old

Yesterday Makayla and I did our best to enjoy the day! First thing we did was take Daddy to the airport to go back to work, then we went for an oil change, ran to Walmart to buy an air filter, took it to Grandpa Dave's for him to put in, went for a walk to feed the geese and ducks, then we came home and spent the rest of the day hanging out. Grandma Vicki made her way over in the evening and just before 11pm we headed over to the lake where the fireworks were going to be launched from. I was surprised, Makayla did really well and actually seemed to enjoy watching the fireworks, she was squealing and kicking her legs! I was expecting her to be scared and to cry. Good job little monkey!

First Easter = One Spoiled Little Girl

I remember as a child getting so worked up over holidays that the night before I could hardly even sleep; as I have gotten older that excitement has honestly faded. Makayla has really brought back that spark in me! As we approach each holiday I get a little bit more excited because it is her first and I can't wait until she is the one not able to sleep at night. As for her first Easter, yes she was too young to dye Easter eggs or go on an egg hunt, but it was a special one. Growing up our family wasn't huge on Easter gifts, just some chocolate and it stopped there. Don't get me wrong I loved it and never thought anything of it, but oh my was Makayla ever spoiled! Between Grandparents and Auntie, Makayla took home quite the haul! We are so blessed and thankful for having such a wonderful and generous family!
