4 More Weeks!

We're in the home stretch and it couldn't come any sooner! We had an ultrasound yesterday and the little guy already weighs 6lbs 5oz! Please don't kill me baby....We are all ready for his arrival as I just finished organizing the room and the hospital bags are packed.

Abbie and I are trying to keep ourselves busy...Abbie's fall photos are taken inside because we had no fall...there is snow already! Abbie misses going outside.

Abbie dancing to Backyardigans

Backyardigans Concert!

This was Abbie's Face during most of the first part of the concert....in complete awe! She wouldn't look away even for a picture.

During the intermission Abbie would actually pose for the camera. She kept asking for them to come back.

During the second half Abbie started to sing a long with the songs and she even got down and started to dance! When the ending song came on she started to cry because she knew it was over! She was saying "bye Backyardigans, see you later" while she cried!

We made the kids Backyardigan shirts for their big day...Abbie's shirt says "Number one fan" because we all know how much she loves Pablo!

The girls super excited for the concert...after the concert we took them to Boston Pizza for their special dinner. It was a very exciting day and they all passed out at the end of it!

Fall photo shoot

Jen and Mom came up for a quick visit and we took the kids to the park and tried to have a photo shoot...they were all over the place!

Abbie modelling her new outfit

Fall is here in Edmonton and with it comes the cooler weather and one of my favourite things...new clothes! I had fun buying Abbie her new wardrobe.

Family Vacation

For our summer holiday we spent a week in Terrace, BC. It was mainly a fishing trip, but we spent some time to go to Lakelse Lake. The water was really warm and we had great weather all week long!

Our last day there, we took a boat ride on Lakesle Lake to the river...it felt like bath water it was so warm! Abbie loved to throw rocks in the water.

Abbie loved going on Granpa's boat! Its all she talked about...

Abbie had absolutely no fear in the water. If someone wasn't holding on to her she would float away with the current. She loved to just sit there and float.

Sockeye fishing...Spencer's first day was the best. He would catch something every 3rd cast!

Abbie fishing with her fishing rod off of the boat...it never got old for her!

Abbie even liked touching the dead fish her Daddy caught (yuck) she is definitely a Pasowisty. She was even poking the dead fish with a stick!

One of Spencer's sockeye catches (nice pink shoes!)

Abbie and I on the boat...one of the few pictures of me to prove that I was actually there! How can you tell that I am the one with the camera?

Baby Room so far...

This is the baby's room half finished...I need to organize and finish decorating!

Abbie's Room

We finally finished Abbie's big girl room...with time to spare for the baby to come.

Happy Birthday Spencer!

Spencer turned 26 years old on July 24th! He is now in the late 20s....we had a BBQ for the big day and I let him stink the house out with seafood for the occasion.

Fun in July!

Me so excited at the Kenny Chesney and Taylor Swift concert!

Char-Lane and I at the concert....you could never tell how much has changed since the last time we were at an outside concert together! We're both married and Moms!

Abbie loves babies and she was so sweet with Summer, Char-Lane's little sweetheart!

Spencer and I dressed up to see the Lion King...it was amazing by the way and totally worth seeing!

The Summer is full of yummy foods!

Abbie discovered corn on the cob and stole Mommy's, for now on she gets her own corn on the cob!

Abbie also discovered fudgicles! Yummy and messy...poor Mommy.

Cooking with Mom

Abbie has to sample the cookie dough to make sure that I put enough butter and sugar in it! That is her favourite part. She even tried the flour once and that was enough!

Abbie and I have been making cookies on fridays...we wear our matching aprons and Abbie is the master taste tester!

Trip to the Zoo

Abbie favourite part of the entire day was going for a train ride right at the end! We had to wait in line and she wanted to get on the train so bad that it was hard to distract her. When it was finally her turn she had the biggest smile and she was going "Choo-Choo" the whole way.

After the train ride...Abbie did not want to get off!

All 3 of us on the train...Abbie was getting impatient for it to get moving!

Abbie in front of a camel....

Abbie and I in front of the elephant in the background. Abbie liked the elephant.

The petting zoo area...Abbie pet some goats, sheep, and chickens.

Abbie and her Daddy at the zoo....looking at guinea pigs.

It's a Boy!

Well, we found out 2 weeks ago that we are having a Spencer Jr. We had an ultrasound on June 17th and the technician said she was 95% sure we were having a girl and I was so excited! Then two days later we went for another ultrasound and that technician said we were having a boy! I was a little shocked, but she showed us the "unit" and it was pretty clear that something was there. I am not decorating the room until the end of this month beacuse I have another ultrasound appt and they can confirm it!

Two whole months of FUN!

I have been so bad at updating this lately, but now that my energy is coming back to me I will try to do better. May and June flew by...here are some of the highlights. Abbie continues to love playing outside whenever the weather is nice. She got a new rollercoaster toy and of course it wasn't fast enough the way it was so Spencer had to ghetto rig it! He is slowly turning our daughter into a daredevil.

Abbie and I went to Prince George for a little holiday to visit. We took a four generation picture at church.

Abbie has recently turned into a streaker! I can't keep the clothes on her... This time I came outside and she had all her clothes off and was trying to get the diaper off.

Abbie's first time holding a frog with daddy. Spencer almost ran it over with lawn mower and we had a pet for an hour. Abbie called it rippit.

"Good Morning Mommy" Abbie had gotten into all my makeup at night and in the morning their was a nice surprise for me! She had ruined everything all my eyeshadow, eyeliner....it was a mess!

Day at the lake with Grama and Grandpa, cousins Faith and Nathan. The lake was a little cold and Abbie was not about to get in. She enjoyed playing in the sand with Grandpa.

Abbie had a lot of fun playing in Grama and Grandpa's backyard. Grama was kept very busy!

More fun in the Grama's yard...Abbie would go thru at least 3 pairs of clothes a day because she was always jumping in the pool. Faith and Nathan came over every day.

Abbie playing dress up and eating snacks at Faith's house...These two had a lot of fun together when they weren't arguing over some toy! Abbie can now say Faith, Nathan, Aunty Jeni, and Uncle Richard. She would cry when they would leave to go home every night.

We had to finally buy a lawn mower...This is Spencer's first time mowing our lawn. (He's all grown up)

Abbie loves the bubbles...that bubble machine is always on.

Abbie has changed so much in the last couple of months. She is turning into such a big girl.
