Our Little Cowboy

Isaac loves going out to our friends farm, and we've taken him there lot's. So here's a video to show how well he knows his farm animals.

A little time on my hands....

Well I dont' really have time to be posting, but I'm going to sit down and make myself do it. I would love to post a lot from the last couple of months, but that would take foreva...so, here's a few highlights.

Trying to get out for lot's of walks... This picture, must have been in March or April, with the snow still in the picture. Although there's snow on the ground right now from today, and it's May 19!!

In May, Laura and I took the boys on a 12 hours drive to Vernon, for my sister's wedding. Long drive, good memories.

Isaac falling asleep in his playpen. He pulled this picture down from the wall, but created a perfect picture.

Jackson and Shelley's wedding was great. Although Shelley lost her voice the morning of the wedding, so that made it hard for Shelley, but overall it was a great day, and a great chance to spend more time with family and friends.

My sister Shelley and her husband Jackson. Thank Rachel, for taking GREAT pictures...

Isaac and his cousin Laim.

Just this past weekend, for May Long, we headed to Barrhead, to be with Brad's family. It was a blast, busy...but great.Family picture in a old, abandoned house.Isaac playing in the field.

Grandpa Rempel with Isaac and his cousin Joshua.

It was so much fun for Brad to bring his gun...especially when we set up tin cans and I was the first to knock a tin can down, after everyone had already tried=)

Yeah....I finally updated my blog, now to put some pictures on facebook.....

Spring Break

It was weird to have Spring Break so early in March. Isaac's daycare wasn't provided during spring break, so my dad and mom as well as my grandma came up from BC to watch Isaac during the week. It was great! They took Isaac to Bonnyville for the first few days, which gave Brad and I a chance to go on a few dates. We went out for dinner all three nights, went to the theatre, went out for coffee, caught a hockey game....it was great. Although Isaac did get into some trouble in Bonnyville....he found an oilers jersey and put it on...how embarassing!

You'll never see him wearing that again.

I'm kickin' myself because I took hardly any pictures while my family was here. But here the few I did take, or stole off Laura's blog.

We had miserable weather the entire week. Blizzard like conditions. Here's Liam checking out the weather at the window. Isaac loves reading books, it was great to have everyone there, so Brad and I weren't the only laps to sit on.

After a great week, we all took a long nap. Isaac slept for two hours, but then came into bed with us and fell back asleep. I can't wait to head to BC at the beginning of May for a wedding. We find out tomorrow night if Jackson (my sister's fiance from Africa) got his visa approved to come to Canada. Please keep them in your prayers.

My little "Richard Simmons"

Isaac is such a sport when we want to dress him up or make him wear something for our own entertainment. Check out these pictures we took on Saturday as we dressed him up in his work out gear and headband. Brad and I are on the hunt for a real sweat band!!!

What a goof!

Stealing a kiss from Mom

Then on Monday night, it was hockey night in the Rempel household. Isaac loves to walk around with a hockey stick in his hand, but he uses it more as a weapon or as a drumstick than anything else. He's working on his hand/eye coordination....he's pretty good at hitting the puck when he wants to. I think he's going to be a lefty.

Flames fan, just like Dad

Where is the time?

Being back at work has put a strain on my time for sure. I just don't have the time to jump on facebook or update the blog as often, so you'll have to forgive me for that.

This past weekend, we were excited to have Josh, Laura, Liam and Emmett come and stay with us. It was a very relaxing weekend, of just hanging out....just what I needed.

It's great to watch Isaac and Liam interact with one another. I can't wait till they get a little older.

Isaac pulling Liam's ear.......you just wait a year Isaac, he won't let you get away with it then =)

Hudson, Emmett and Isaac checking things out outside.

Cutest little phillips ever!

This is Isaac's new favorite thing....reading books, and if he can snuggle up with hudson, all the better!

SAY CHEESE!!

Christmas 2008

Christmas this year was with Brad's family in Manitoba, so we opened our gifts as a family here in Lloydminster before we left. It was fun to watch Isaac open his gifts but he was still a little too young to really know what was happening. Next year will be even better i'm sure.

Our family picture in Lloydminster.

We were suppose to take the train to Oakville, MB, from Saskatoon, but when we woke up on the 23 to catch the train we found out it was delayed 9 hours. We decided to just drive the 9 hours instead to Manitoba ourselves. We so thankful we did, because we got our money back from VIA rail and ended up saving two hundred dollars by driving. Thankfully Isaac did really well driving too!

Isaac and Auntie Lindsay. It was so great to have Lindsay stay with us the week before we left to Manitoba to watch Isaac. He was really sick, and so it was so nice that he was able to stay home and recover.

Driving by the town my mom was born in...Grenfell Saskatchewan. My mom is related to the whole town, i'm sure of it !!

This how we warmed up Isaac's bottles on the 9 hour drive.

Isaac finding the glass balls on the tree. We moved those up pretty fast...and yet he still managed to smash 6 or 7 of them

We started a new tradition this year and had Grandpa read the Christmas story. It was pretty cool for sure.

Lindsay wanted steak for Christmas dinner, so Brad got out and BBQ. Isaac spending time with Grandpa

Isaac's first time on the ice...HE LOVED IT!! We can't wait to take him out here in Lloyd, if it ever warms up.

All together with Great Grandma RempelOverall it was a great trip, with tons of memories and great times. I could've added so many more pictures, but my laundry is still not put away from the trip. I also can't wait to scrapbook this holiday.

More Walking

I can't believe it, soon he'll be running i'm sure.

Look who's walking....

We are so proud of our little Isaac. In this video he's only taking a few steps but now, a few days later he's already doing 5-10 steps. We're pretty excited!

The Kill

Brad was suppose to do this post, but because he's in Vernon, so i decided to post for him. I want to get Isaac's birthday pictures up, but the deer happened first...so here she is.... Hope no one gets offended by some of these pictures.

Isaac and I got to watch Brad skin the deer. Isaac didn't know what to think. I'm surprised my stomach could handle it.

Brad shot four deer this year, but this one was his biggest...a five by five they call it. (Five points on each side of the rack)

This is one of Brad's hunting buddies with his kill.

I'm pretty glad the hunting season is over and I can have my husband back on the weekends. Brad still has to take the deer in to get butchered, so we'll see how this things tastes. Brad might be eating a lot of it on his own!

We miss you daddy!

Brad is gone to Vernon for a week to do some training for Kal Tire, so Isaac, Hudson and I have lot's of time to ourselves. Which, for me, is not so fun, but i know there's a ton of stuff I can get done, it's just getting my butt off the couch to start. Once i get started i"m on a roll, but to start is another thing.

Hudson and Isaac waiting for Daddy to come home.
Isaac turing to look at me for a picture.

We can't wait for Brad to come home on Saturday because he's bringing his sister Lindsay home with him. She's going to stay with us until we jump on the train to Manitoba for Christmas. It'll be such a treat to have her watch Isaac for a week and spend some quality time together.

Tonight i plan(key..."I plan") on putting up a post of Brad and Isaac's day off together, and maybe even some pictures of Brad's big deer he shot...we'll see how far my butt gets off the couch!
