Forty-third Post Ever...
Hello again! We've been working (correction, auntie kendra, gramma and grampa have been working) SO hard to finish the upstairs bedroom before we have to leave....As you can see! This is a shot of auntie kendra helping grampa to put up a diagonal piece of plywood....it was quite funny actually.
So here is how hard they've ACTUALLY been working:
Before we got here....
After they finished it...
Amazing isn't it! And they're going to paint today, so then I'll post of that too...it's going to look so amazingly different up there! It'll be very very nice...sadly, we can't be here to see the whole thing through, becuase the carpet doesn't come till September! And seeing as we're going to be kind of busy in September (what with school and all) we can't stay! It has been so much fun being here with gramma and grampa, and auntie kendra too. I feel like we've bonded these three weeks more than we ever have. But I am ready to go home now. I miss everyone out there. We're coming home really soon, so don't get too worried...we ARE coming back!

Forty-second Post Ever...
Hello everyone!
Speaking of cushions...I bought three different shaped cushions at the Tilly the other day, and some brown cordurouy, and some brown fuzzy fabric and some soft pink fabric, for a grand total of $5!!! And then auntie kendra bought me some pink ribbon, some brown felt, and a thing of pink embroidery floss for like...$2! And then I found four really fun big pink buttons in Gramma's button box, and then Gramma and Auntie Kendra helped me make really fun cushions for my room today! It was so much fun! We cut and sewed, and embroidered, and stitched buttons and all that stuff! The result was fantastic, as you can see:
Those are the fabulous cushions that are going on my hammock in my room!
Aren't they adorable! I love them....well I cannot wait to come home....I miss everyone out there sooo soo soo much!

Forty-first Post Ever...
Hello everybody!!! How's life in...wherever you are? Nicole, Auntie Kendra, and I are in Three Hills helping Gramma and Grampa with the reno's upstairs in their little house. The three of us went swimming the other night at the pool across the street, and saw "Hoodwinked" while sitting in the pool. It was something I've never done before! It was kinda cool in some ways, but about half way through the movie, everyone else in the pool got bored of just SITTING in the pool, so they started to play around again...not so fun. But it was a cool experience, something that I'll probably never ever do again! We've been to the "Oasis" for lunch, and we all had hamburgers, that were quite small, and ice cream! We also went out for Uncle Dale and Auntie Cee's fifth anniversary the other night! We were gonna go to the "Country Cousins Resteraunt" in Linden, but they were closed, so no veranki and sausage for us. So we went to the "Harvest House" that's like a block away from the house instead. And pretty much everyone had steak. Including Nicole if you can believe it. Anyways, I miss all you people out in the lower-mainland so much!XoxoxoxoxoxoxO

WOW! Forty Posts...this has to be some sort of record. (for me anyways.) Yesterday morning was lots of fun, except for the fact that I woke up at like eight-thirty! What is this world coming to?!?! Oh well, anyways! Nicole, Mom, Auntie Sharon, the girls and I all went raspberry/strawberry picking this morning. It was lots of fun. After all us kids had picked about 3 buckets-full of raspberries we played around with Mom's camera, and here are the results:Kaitlyn eating the raspberries:
Rachael running through Raspberry Lane:
The girls being goofs:
Kaitlyn being cool:
Nicole being sweet:
Nicole and Kaitlyn being CUTE:
Kaitlyn being just like Gramma:
Kaitlyn feeding me raspberries:
All the girls hanging out in the truck:
Well, we had a lot of fun, playing around in the raspberries...I guess we'll just have to wait 'till next year to do it all over again!
Tommorow we (Nicole, Auntie Kendra, Mom and I) are going out to Calgary becuase we (Nicole, Auntie Kendra and I) are going to help gramma and grampa with their house! So much fun! More painting *rolls eyes* Anyways, it should be a ton of fun, and we also get to stay with Justina and Zaffo for a week or so! And we get to see Pirates 2 with them, so yeah! Great fun!
I'll be in touch!
~Love you all...
