Well, the summer started off with me still not working..... so little miss ashlee got to have more fun at home with her mommy.... At the beginning of June, we went to Vancouver for 3 days with my dad and stepmom for Tom's graduation from Simon Fraser University. we had a great trip, and ashlee did very well in the car for that long (6 hrs each way). we got to stay right downtown Van, in Uncle tom's guest suite in his highrise condo building. very fun!


Middle of june was maddy's birthday and father's day. :) we took my dad out to armstrong for the train ride, and went to the mini-horse farm. ok, so maybe this was more for ashlee, then my dad, but he seemed to love it!

at the end of June, we went down to Osoyoos lake and stayed at my friend jackie's lake house for a weekend. what a gorgeous place. so beautiful and relaxing. ashlee had a great time playing with her 3 girls, and it was nice to catch up with jackie again.

In July, I went back to school... and Ashlee's daycare went on holidays for 5 weeks, so miss ashlee got to spend extra time with granny, and nana... and some days, Tianna babysat her. :) Ashlee loved all this. In the beginning of august, sam came to visit ashlee again, and be her "daycare" for a week, while i was in the last week of my summer classes.



then the last 2 weeks of august, i was on holidays, and my brother, todd came out from alberta with his family. it was GREAT fun!!! Kyan, who is 2.5 yrs old, and ashlee were inseperable!! he is just young enough to follow ashlee's every command. pretty cute!!! i think ashlee taught him some bad tricks, but SHHHH! don't tell anyone! :) Todd and Jamie also had their second son in June, so we got to meet Abel for the first time. what a cutie! he is a really good baby, very content to just hang out and cuddle. :)




so that is it for us.....
Ashlee is doing great overall. she has grown like crazy!! she moved into a booster seat in the car, and loves it. she is talking up a storm, and loves to "read" me and her stuffies, stories and books. she is a very helpful child, and will cook dinner with me, do the laundry, feed the cats, you name it, she wants to help do it!
a recent funny story:.. we were at my dad's, and went for a walk... well, we happened along a trampoline, so ashlee stopped to jump on it... as she is jumping she bounced in a circle or something, and then proclaims to us "i'm amazing"
hahahah. we all died laughing, but had to agree.....

she really is amazing!!! and i couldn't love her more!
