~ Garden Cart ~

ME, assembling the garden cart.

First test run.

I think it's a hit.

The girls are definitely having fun.

Just some more photos of our beautiful girls.

In lieu of the traditional Toys R Us plastic wagons, we've opted to "go hard or go home" and bought the Garden Cart. This baby has fold down sides, 10" pneumatic tires, a removable canvas liner and can hold 800LBS!!! Who needs a crappy plastic wagon? Not us! I fully intend to tow these two kiddies around McBride in their new wagon.

~ Fishing in "Takla Town" ~

Look at that technique!

Fishin' in true Takla style!

Just hanging out on the beach, notice Charley's swing and the medic sleeping on the quad.

Me and Sandy relaxing. One of the few times I get the chance to put my feet up.

Here we are just hanging out at 5 Mile Bay, about 5 miles from the house. It was the first time I'd been there since we've been in Takla. Lennah had gone fishing with Daddy the weekend before and had a great time. Right behind us is our new quad - I had a fantastic time riding back with Lennah all by ourselves. It was pretty special for me.

~ Gardening with Grandma ~

Lennah and I spent this past weekend at my Mom's house. We stayed in all day Saturday and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Lennah had a great time helping Grandma Nelson garden. She was so happy to just fill up container after container with dirt - and rearrange the lawn ornaments!

~ Bubbles ~

Last Friday, Lennah and Jordan had another playdate at Sean and Rachel's. The two had a fantastic time. I then immediately went out and got Lennah her own "Gazillion Bubbles" bubblemaker afterwards.

~ Playtime ~

Last Thursday, Lennah, Jordan and Dylan (he slept through these photos!) went to the playground across the street from our old complex. It was the first time Lennah went on the swing by herself and enjoyed it! It only took Jordan, who's 1 year old to show her how it's done.

~ Eric's 3rd Birthday ~

My lovely new feet, complete with daisies.

Lennah, learning from a pro.

First time cuddling with Uncle Francois.

Enthralled with the Berenstain Bears before bedtime.

Le piece de resistance!

Relaxing on the swing after the partygoers went home.

We celebrated Eric's 3rd Birthday on Sunday of the May long weekend. His actual birthday is May 16th. It was all things Fireman, complete with a water hose. As usual, Lennah had a fantastic time with her favourite cousins, aunt and uncle. I even got a treat this weekend with a pedicure. I said if I lasted past Mother's Day I would treat myself!

~ Lennah and Nona ~

These pictures were taken just last Friday at the beginning of our "weekend heat wave". Lennah had so much fun just being outside in the yard with her new trike and her Nona.

~ The Beginning of Spring in Takla ~

After a rough start,

And lots of trust.

Lennah went on her first quad ride of 2008. Now that the snow is almost gone and the sun has been shining, Lennah has been enjoying her time outside again.

PS This has to be one of the best shots of Lennah and her Daddy!

PPS Look closely in the background - you can still see some snow. Do I have to remind everyone that it is May!!!

~ Lennah - 18 months ~

Need I say anything more? Our beautiful girl 18 to 20 months and counting. She is so lovable, adorable and precocious. Everyday we love her more and more.
