Across Canada Randoms!

We forgot to take pictures right away when we started our trip, I think we were somewhere in Sask before we thought to dig out the camera, here are some shots that we took along the way.
Here is Brooke enjoying her first ever Slurpee (Jer says it's a real slurpee because it came from Seven-Eleven. lol
Yup that's Santa Claus. Big ole statue of him...I think the town said "Home of the first Santa Claus", But we were driving and it went by fast! lol
It was extremely hot this day...Poor Brooke and Chloe had a hard time dealing with the heat!
Jer's solution to a sweaty baby! lol Coat her in a thick layer of baby powder!
Jer's turn to drive!
The long road ahead! And I think it's the first significant hill i have seen in 2 years! lol
This is the dock that Tucker jumped off the end of and almost drowned. Poor puppy, good thing he knows how to swim!

A nearly drowned Tucker!
Lake Winnipeg
Stopped in Winnipeg for some maintenance on the van! Thanks Margo for the use of the tools and yard!
Margo and her family photos. lol
Pee Break...some pit stops are nicer then others this was a nice one.

Canada geese...I don't remember seeing so many on the east coast.
We stopped to have a mini photo shoot, it was short tho because the bugs were really bad!!!

Fun times in the minivan! lol I think she's talking about a hat...lol
My turn to drive!
Picture of Jeremy by an Ontario lake! (There were so many that it's hard to remember the names of them all)
Would we be traveling across Canada if we didn't see at least one construction site?? lol
Ontario...the longest province in Canada and it took us like 3 or 4 days to get through!
Pretty Scenery, one of the many (and I do mean many!) lakes in Ontario!
A happy pit stop!
Are we there yet??? I'm getting kinda bored!
This is how you always know you are in Montreal...when the amount of concrete outweighs everything else that might live/exist around it!
Brooke loving the park!
Tucker needs to get out for a run...and boy did he ever have a good one!
Look at me climbing up to the slide!
Chloe's a little unsure about this whole swinging thing!
Brooke loves her swing! Always has!
There is always time to stop and have a swing break!

Finally Mammy's house!! Isn't her school bus cool??

UGH!!!

Blogger, or my computer or my internet or a combination of all 3 are not working with me. I have tried for two days to get pictures uploaded and it won't let me. I will continue to try, but just wanted to let everyone know why there aren't any/many new posts.

Chloe 1 Month

I know I'm a little behind on this since Chloe is now 3 months old...lol But I"ve been busy I blame moving across the country and trying to find a house to buy! And I'm sticking to it! lol

I have similar pictures of Brooke...same outfit even I think! LOL

Mammy's House is so much FUN!!!!

Every kid tries to go up the slide the wrong way! lol

So my mom is a grandmother and I know a grandmothers job is to spoil the kids, but Brooke and Chloe are going to like Mammy's house better then their own!! Mom just happens to find the coolest toys at yard sales! She paid a wooping 5 dollars for that slide...crazy eh?!
Yard sales out here are a bit different then the ones back east. For one, the run Thursday, Friday and Saturday with hours of 4-6pm on Thurs and Frid and from 8am to 8pm on Saturday. Secondly, they are pretty expensive for the most part. People seem to buy things brand new and then want to get all their money back. For example even on Kijiji they have baby swings selling for 120 dollars (used) go to Toys R Us and the same swing is 170 (new) why not spend the extra 50 dollars and get it brand new? I don't quite get it, but I haven't really been to a lot of yard sales this year, I went to quite a few last year tho.

The little brown rocking chair is my chair. Mom says I can have it back once we move to NB. Brooke loves that chair and I think it should stay at Mammy's because when Chloe gets old enough it's just going to be a fight over who gets to sit in it. lol

Big Sister Helping Mommy

I have figured out that in order to be able to feed Chloe peacefully and keep Brooke out of trouble, I just need to put a Baby Einstein movie on for Brooke have her sit on one knee and feed Chloe on the other knee. The other day Brooke decided she might like to feed Chloe. So I set her up so that she could. It took a lot of concentration at first, but eventually she got the hang of it.
"I got this" meanwhile Chloe looks a little scared! lol

When I went to burp Chloe, Brooke would get a little upset that Chloe wasn't on her knee anymore, she would babble at me in her own language and point to her knee. Saying...."Put her back here" lol
It all worked out fine until Brooke thought it was fun to put the bottle in her mouth so she would put the bottle in her mouth and then take it out, put it in....take it out...needless to say Chloe didn't find this game quite as fun as Brooke did.






Dinner at Ringos

It was great to see everyone and give them the exciting news that I was moving back. I didn't even recognize Kim when she came through the door with Jen, Melissa, and Darcy...I thought they had picked up some stranger and brought them to lunch! lol
This is how pictures turn out when Jen and Fonda don't sit still! lol would have helped if Jeremy had warned them first.
This is what pictures look like when the subjects stay still.

This is what it looks like


when you interrupt Jeremy during his Mr. Freezy frenzie.

A day at the Park

After the mother's left us with the two kids on our own and both went about their summers, Jeremy and I decided to take the kids to the park. Brooke loves the swing, then again she loves her swing so why not these ones?

The night before we had stopped at a little park and Brooke was in love with the slide. I think this one was a bit scarey for her as she didn't enjoy these ones as much.

Admit it...she looks a little terrified here! lol

Chloe's Crib

Here is Chloe's crib. Mom got her the side mobile and the girls at work gave me a gift certificate for Zellars and I happened to find the matching crib set there! So she matches all up!

Bath-time in the Sink

This is actually her second bath at home, but we were in a hurry to get her bathed the first time and it took two of us to do it, so the camera got forgotten that time. This time I did the bathing and the two grandmothers and Jeremy took pictures.
