Another great trip to BC

I accompanied my sister to Vernon so that the family could meet Liam. We were only there for a few days, but it was great time for relaxing with Laura and another chance for the grandparents and auntie Shelley to spoil the boys!!

The boys did really well in the airport.
Dad met Liam for the first time!
And what a cutie he is!!


Isaac sat in the OLD high chair...i'm thinking over 20 years old.... mom?
It was great to be able to build a fire and relax in the living room. Although it was a lot of work trying to keep Isaac from the fireplace. That house isn't very "grandkid" proof yet...


We were able to take an afternoon and head up to Davison Orchards for a pumpkin festival. We had such a great time riding on the hayride, picking out pumpkins, and of course testing all the delicious food and drinks.

Great Grandma, Shelley and Isaac checking out how they make donuts.

Shelley and Isaac in the corn maze.Here comes the hayride!!! Jumping on the hayride!!

Isaac loved it!

Isaac loved the pumpkin patch...he was so curious and couldn't keep his eyes off all the pumpkins!

Time for a bath!! Thanks auntie Shelley for all your help while we were there. It was a nice break for Laura and I.
Now I'm a little sad because i'm heading back to work in a few days....but this trip was a great way to end my maternity leave.

Happy Thanksgiving

We headed to the Crowsnest Pass for Thanksgiving this year to be with Brad's family. We stayed at a bible camp that Brad used to go to when he was younger. We drove to Calgary to pick up his dad and then headed the rest of the way to Crow all together. It was a total of 8 hours...a little long for Isaac but we did it =) Isaac and Grandma Rempel ready for a walk. Isaac loved being pushed in his stroller.

Some of the walk was a little bumpy and rocky for a stroller.

It was so refreshing to breathe in that cold mountain air.

How to make cinnamon buns.....
How to steal the leftover sugar from the table....
Isaac was pretty tired.

The next day we went on another hike...this time we took Isaac in a carrier...much easier, and he loved it!!

It was a gorgeous day, and a great hike. This is the Crownest Mountain. Brad has hiked this mountain when he was young.
The drive back to Calgary I had to puppies at my feet. One for Brad's parents to take home and another for his aunt. The dark brown was Autumn and the light coloured was Brad's parents, Carmel. Super cute!Carmel, the Rempels' new puppy. Grandma and Grandpa Rempel with Isaac infront of Grandpa's truck in Calgary.
It was a great trip, now Isaac and I are off to Vernon with Laura and Liam!!

Grandpa Rempel comes for a visit

We always love it when Brad's dad gets a load to Edmonton and can stop in for a visit. Can't wait to see the family when we head to the Crows Nest Pass for Thanksgiving.

And a few more candid shots of little Isaac. I guess he's not so little anymore...he's now 10 months old =)
All smiles these days
Getting the toques out for winter
His new ride...all he does is sit on it...for now!
