A TRIP TO SALMON ARM

The girls and I took a trip to Salmon Arm to be there for Jorji's baptism. So nice to witness and celebrate such an amazing event! Funny that I don't have any pictures of the baptism, but I have lots of funtime with cousins and grandparents!!

This was one of the first times since we moved that Kenzie got to jump on a trampoline. Now that we have a new house, we will have to get a new one!!

My little monkey!! She looked like Mogli from The Jungle book!!

Even grandma joined in the fun!!

Love seeing the age gap! One day it just doesn't matter anymore!

Here's the girl herself!! She looked absolutely beautiful in her baptism dress and she glowed all day long!! We love you Jorji!!!

Got to get some papa time in!!

Looks like Ollie is getting the papa "Thunder Road" version!!!

MY ATTEMPT AT FOOD BLOGGING!!

So with all the food blog craze these days, I've always had an itch to put some of my own creations up for all to see. Instead of dedicating my life to constent food blogging, I thought I would throw some up every once in a while just to show my talent and love for delicious food!

So here it goes!!
Today I made greek turkey burgers with grilled vegetables. The main reason was that it was hot out and didn't want to heat up the kitchen and the other is that I went to the market and bought these lovely fresh veggies!

Turkey burgers
1 pkg  ground turkey
feta
red peppers
fresh spinach
red onion
salt and pepper
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs
garlic salt
I say put as much of the feta, spinach and red onion in as you want! No rules!!
One rule: oil your grill, they will stick!!

Grilled veggies
baby bok choy
yams
zucchini
red pepper
mushrooms
asparagus
I just tossed them lightly with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.

BOWLING!!!

Can you believe that we have never been bowling as a family?!! It was time!!

Here is the pro herself!!

Twinkle toes Mackenzie!!!

Wish we had gotten more pictures but the battery went dead! We were able to muster enough power to show the final results!! The funny thing is that both Justin and I tried REALLY hard!! I don't even think it was beginners luck, she was awesome!!!



SYDNEY'S 1ST BIRTHDAY!!!

These are continued pictures from our first birthday party!!!

 

We had to celebrate again on her "real" birthday!!

After eating three mini cupcakes kenzie said "take these cupcakes away from me, these things are heavenly"!

What we love most about our Sydney:

Her infectious smile

Her blue blue eyes

Her hugs and kisses

Her long restful nights (mommy and daddy love that!)

Her love for music

Her super loud voice

Her furrowed brow

and most of all we know that she loves loves us!!!

GRANDMA'S VISIT!!

We were so lucky to have grandma come and stay with us for a week! She always brings such joy when she is around and the girls just adore her. She was also here during our BIG and exciting purchase and was a huge help during the process. We also celebrated Sydney's 1st birthday early because grandma, auntie Chris and Shan could be here with us!!

Got to love a fun trip to Ikea!!!
