Pig Tails

We have been very lucky with Jackie in the hair department, not only was she born with lots of it, she never lost it all, and it grows nice and evenly. So far the only thing we have had to cut is her bangs.

But she will not sit still long enough for me to get a pony tail or pig tails in her hair, on Monday we were over at the Chibry's for Fun Monday and Shelby succeeded - here are a few shots of the two of them.


Not only was she super cute, she left them in until they fell out.

Summer Holidays 2008

This summer we took a week off together and headed out to our place at the lake. We all had a wonderful time and really loved being able to be there for 10 days instead of a normal weekend or the odd long weekend.

Jackie got to experience her first boat ride; twice we had friends take us out; her first canoe ride (Grandma and Grandpa Hill came out and brought their canoe); we spend some time down at the beach, a few days trips - overall a great trip and no one wanted to come home...

This is Adam's idea of bringing the beach to you.....

On a side note, Adam finished the deck too - sorry I forgot to take pictures - I promise to take some next time we are out - the place looks great with the grass and now a deck.

Summer Holidays 2008 - Kimberly

Day trip - or rather afternoon trip...

We headed up to Kimberly, only 20 minutes north of Cranbrook, jsut before you get to Kimberly though is a small little town called Marysville, with the Marysville Falls - so we took the short walk to check them out, I was not wearing the right shoes, the path was not wagon or stroller friendly, so with Jackie on Adam's shoulders, there was only so far we could go, but I think we saw the biggest one.

After the falls we headed to the Bavarian part of Kimberly and had a great dinner where Jackie not only impresses us with her restaurant manners but the 2 nice old ladies sitting beside us.

We stopped for ice cream, and the ice cream shop had this stuffed bear - as you can see, Jackie loved it!

Summer Holidays 2008 - Swimming

When you have a beach and a lake.....

Summer Holidays 2008 - Kokanee Brewery

Since we are only 45 minutes from Creston, we took the opportunity to take in the Kokanee Brewery tour. I enjoyed it, Jackie however did not really allow Adam to enjoy or hear any of it. She came on the tour, but constantly wanted down to run around - the tour was not toddler safe for running around, and the last thing she cares about is how beer is made... one day maybe, but not now.

Since I do not drink beer, this was an acceptable tour to go on, due to pregnancy, all winery tours were banned this year....

Outside, they have a photo op - I love the one with Jackie as the Sasquatch...

Summer Holidays 2008 - Water Skiing

Kristi joined us for the day on Saturday and some friends with a boat took her and Adam out water skiing. They had a blast and heckled each other the whole time - but Adam will admit - Kristi is better than he is...
