Happy 4th Birthday Abbie!


Abbie was a little sad planning this party because all her cousins and friends who usually come wouldn't be there...but we invited her cousins here and her new friends in sunbeams and we planned Abbie's dream Ariel Birthday party. I had a lot of fun decorating and making the birthday cake. Abbie said she wanted to do it again next birthday so I think it was successful.

Our last weeks in Canada

Spencer ready to start the long drive all the way to Arizona! A few minutes after this picture was taken, Spencer gets horribly stuck in the snow bank and our neighbours have to help dig him out! We also experience awful road conditions and it was a long, awful drive....But we made it to Arizona and a beautiful warm blue sky was waiting to greet us! Goodbye cold winter!!!!! We will not miss you.
Our last picture of our house...freezing and covered in snow!
Our empty house after everything was moved into the truck. This is the day we left and we said goodbye to our Beaumont house. We had a lot of fun times there and we loved our first home. I got a little sad leaving.
Where's Pacen? We can't find him anywhere!
Abbie had to make a snowman before we said goodbye to the snow!
My 27th Birthday dinner at Moxie's with the family.
Abbie was having a lot of fun playing outside with her Dad and she was not happy to have to come in because Mom said it was getting too cold!
In the weeks leading up to our move it snowed and snowed more than we had ever seen it snow it Edmonton. Spencer was shovelling every day to keep on top of it.
Our house officially sold on January 19th after 65 days on the market and a whole lot of waiting! We were really excited.
