Enjoying the beautiful fall weather

Dave and the girls at The Run For The Cure in Kamloops.

Kiley running free at the park by our house!

The girls wish the water was turned on I am sure...imagining the whole place to themselves!

Mom doing lots of cheering.

Of course they have to go underneath where we can't reach them...so smart!

Kiley determined to get up to the top somehow!

Sydney so intent on finding the perfect leaf downtown at Riverside park.

Kiley dragging Mom around.

Dad taking the girls for a spin in the bike trailer.

Cruising to the duck pond in the wagon

Life is grand...or so I hope they are thinking :)

Crazy, Crazy girls!

Sydney and Kiley sure are being adventurous lately! From climbing on the couch, on their toys, opening every drawer, cupboard and even standing on their little bikes...enough to stress a Mom out!!

I am sure there is a name for this move but I don't want to know!

Look out Dad and Uncle Steve...these two are trying to outdo you :)

.

Even first thing in the morning!

By the way I am yelling at them to "sit on their bums" as I am snapping away!

Thanksgiving part two..lucky us!!

We were lucky to have a wonderful turkey dinner again on Monday night at Willy and Gerry's. Even after much toddler-proofing the girls still managed to get into anything and everything they could find! The good news is that Nana and Grandpa don't mind it one bit :) We had a great visit with everyone and Sydney and Kiley had a blast.

Playing around downstairs, in the playroom Nana and Grandpa made just for us!

You can't catch me...

Can't hide from the camera Branden-GOTCHA!

We also celebrated Michelle's birthday-Happy Birthday Michelle!!

The grandkids

Branden, Kiley, Megan and Sydney

Now the kids with their Opa...Kiley was sooo done with the pictures and ready for bed!

Thanksgiving weekend

We had a great visit with the Hildee-Camps in Vernon this weekend. We had a chance to watch each of the boys hockey games, visit, go to the park and just relax together. We wish we could do it more often!

It was so fun to get all the girls together this weekend. Wendy and I had unknowingly purchased the same jackets for the girls so they all wore them at the park Sunday and caused a few triple takes from passerbys!

Devyn making a run for it as usual-busy girl! (I can hear Wendy now saying "just you wait")

Jare, Uncle Dave, Sydney and Kiley

Our Family outing (minus Jarett who rode ahead and Jayden who left us early to go to a friend's house)

We also had a fabulous dinner at Bob and Inez's house Sunday night. Sydney and Kiley got into everything they could reach and loved to explore the house and play with Emilia's toys. The girls always enjoy just watching the big kids and Kiley had fun kissing Carla and Jon's puppies through the screen door. Besides a few bumps on the head for our little Kiley, it was a perfect evening and so great for us all to see everyone.

The girls had a blast trying on beads and Kiley loved the feel of them on her neck. She walked around all night shrugging her shoulders just so she could feel them. Neither of them would take the beads off so therefore it caused some tripping since they hung to the floor (especially on Kiley).

Kiley looking so pretty

Moments before distaster struck, unfortunately the first of many for Kiley that night....Don't trust that Inez Kiley :)

(I should mention that I started to take the picture before she was tipping and put the camera down and ran when I saw it about to happen but somehow-thanks to a slow camera-I got it on film)

LOVING their Jarett!!

.

Both Jarett and Jayden are so good to our girls

Jayden-still can't believe he is in high school this year!! Time does fly by...

.

All the kids on my side of the family!

Jarett, Sydney, Emilia, Kiley, Jayden and Devyn

More out and about

We had a really fun day at the park with Willy a few weekends ago. Kiley and Sydney were so happy to lead Nana and Dad around the park. Sydney loves to collect sticks and rocks but Kiley just wants to climb up everything ...

Kiley loves the slide so it is impossible to get her off. She likes to climb back up it again and again but WITHOUT any help!

Sydney and Daddy

Serious deal going down

Sydney and Nana

Kiley wasn't quite sure what to make of this...

Back home again and ready for a wagon ride


Sydney and Kiley with their cousin Megan and her friends. They met us at the park where Auntie Michelle and I were playing with the girls after school one day last week. The girls love to see the "big kids" and Kiley was determined to ride their bike and scooter but Sydney just watched in awe!
