Summer Friends

My friend Hudson came to visit me in BC, Canada!



We both got our hair trimmed by Nana Deb









I met some of my cousins (mommy's cousin's children) for the first time!! I loved playing with them. Big girls are so much fun!



I also had to say goodbye to Auntie Lindsay...she is going back to Peru, then maybe Berlin for work. I won't see her for a long time!

That's it for now. We are having so much fun with our friends from Red Deer! We meal planned some awesome recipes from the REBAR Cookbook - which is my all time favourite cookbook - and we have had some fantastic meals. I am putting more photos on my photography blog :)

Dancing Girl

I just couldn't stop taping. The first 45sec are the best.

Make You Laugh - My Spa Day

These pictures of Aubrey laughing make me laugh every time. This summer she started scrunching up her nose and face when she smiles or laughs...it is pretty cute.

Birthday Wishes!! (And 10 Months Pics)

We get this face a lot :)

So a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my BFF Hudson!! He turned ONE today, and I wish I could be there for his Monkey birthday party tomorrow. Things I love about my Hudsy, he shows me that kids our age can walk, and even talk! Sometimes he holds my hand. We always have fun together. Especially swimming, that is our favourite thing to do together. He has the best smile and best laugh! You are so much fun Huds!

Things to tell you about me being 10 months old :

- I am a great crawler now
- I love when mommy pretends she is chasing me, I laugh and squeal so hard!
- My favourite snacks are BC Cherries and BC Peaches....yum.
- I pretty much nap and swim and poop all day, it rocks.
- I am about 19 lbs and 28 in long
- I still squeal at ear piercing decibels...it's fun, mommy's trying to teach me to stop, won't it
be hilarious if i get into one of my squeal-a-thons on the 17 hour flight to Australia?
- I LOVE SWIMMING!
- My friend Joella taught me about eating brown rice noodles....my new fav dinner

Canadian Summer 2010

Aubrey has a new baby girl cousin Sydney! This has been something we have been looking forward to for just about 9 months now. Enjoy some more pics and stories here.



Sydney Belle welcome to this crazy family. You will be much loved! Aubrey can't wait to see you. She talks about you everyday and smiles at your pictures.


As for Aubrey, she has instantly turned into a lake girl! She's really coming into her own out here... singing and dancing, screaming, and even a poop on the dock. Memories I'm sure we will embarrass her with when she tries to bring her first boy home. I'm trying hard to delay that first boy but this one guy named Hudson keeps showing up at our doorstep. I told him to get a job first but he only just learned to walk.

Here's Aubrey and Hudson hanging in the boat.

Aubrey loving her fresh fruit.

Swimming on the dock. And sleeping in the boat.

First Crawl

This was taken a week and a half ago of Aubrey's first crawl. She hasn't yet discovered that she can use this for long distances but she has been perfecting her crawl.

Let's Eat

I heard my Great Grandma is enjoying these videos so I figured I better get a few more up. I tried to narrow down the videos of her eating to one or two but as you can see I posted a bunch. Once you start watching you'll know why I couldn't stop at one.

Singing Kisses

For all you who like video.

Our Friends [Jeff, Care & Hudson]

I'm sure I posted about my friend, Cara-Leigh, back around Mother's Day...we went to Palm Springs together...but here they are again! Our mom's were friends back before we were born, and it is so cool that we have remained such good friends all these years - we even made it through those tough high school drama days!

I had to post a photo of Hudson....WALKING! I am fairly certain he started walking all on his own around 10 months, by 11 months he is walking all over the place!

Check out my photography blogsite for more of their family photos :)
