Just like Daddy

When in Calgary last weekend Todd bought a 100 lb punching bag to use within an exercise rountine and Kaitlyn just thought this was great. Once Daddy was done with his turn she wanted to try. We put the wraps on her hands and she went to it. It was so cute to watch her playing on it. She was even trying to punch it. Her favorite though was sitting on it like it was a horse.


Superman!!!

Thanksgiving Weekend in Calgary

We decided to go to Calgary to visit my sister and her family for Thanksgiving this year. It's a long drive but it's worth it. We don't get together enough. With the kids getting older we want them to be able to see each other more.

We wanted to get some Christmas shopping done as well as take the kids to the Calgary Zoo. Kaitlyn and Gregory really had a great time together. Almost every night they would chase each other in circles around the kitchen. By the end of it they were ready to go to bed.





Kaitlyn, Ashlyn and Gregory. This one was taken for Nanny and Poppy. They wanted a nice picture of the 3 kids together.

Gregory has a set of drums that Kaitlyn just loves. Everytime we go there to visit she has to play them non-stop. Maybe we will have to ask Santa for some drums for Christmas.



Trip to the Calgary Zoo

When we arrived at the Calgary Zoo it was feeding time for the bears. This bear however was more interested in everyone looking at him then eating.
Kaitlyn was really excited to see the Buffalo. We have some not far from our house and she always asks to go and see them.

Trying to get a good picture of Kaitlyn and Gregory looking at the camera is really hard. They were more interested in what each other was doing.

Todd took the kids into this tunnel . There was an opening on the right side of the picture that the kids could go through to get out. Todd and I however had to go out the way we went in.

Looking at the turtles.

Having a little break and enjoying the ride. They were able to do this because Ashlynn was being carried.

It was great to see the newest additions to the Zoo. There is a baby giraffe and elephant. There is also a baby gorilla but we weren't able to get a good picture of it.


A picture of everyone except me. Someone had to take the picture.




Gregory checking out the monkey.


Kaitlyn was holding onto Gregory's hand as tight as she could.
