About Moving....

So, I think we sold the house already!! Who said Calgary's market is soft...just kidding...I know it is. The house is conditionally sold based on the other peoples financing & home inspection. I think all will be fine!!! YEA!!

Moving

So the Theme of this month seems to be HOMES. First, we listed our house for sale. Then, the Leavitt's moved to Chaparral...not too far...but still farther than before!! Finally, I am just hoping to sell our house in this crazy market.

If anyone is interested...you know what to do!! Check our house out at www.obeo.com/450199 or www.mls.ca Calgary, District D, New Brighton

The Obeo website has really great pictures of our house!

Montana's Birthday

Montana turned Three Years Old on February 18th. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. We celebrated her birthday with a family bowling trip and then a little friend party later in the week. Bowling was fun! The kids had a great time, as did the adults. We laughed, had cake & were all pretty bad at bowling! Only Travis got over 100 points!

The friend party was a little celebration with the friends she plays with most. We did a craft, some games, the kids played, had lunch and cake! I now know that 2 hours is a bit long for a 3 yr old party! Even though, they did have a good time!

Happy Birthday Montana! Sorry I did such a bad job frosting that cake!

Valentine's Day

Yea!!! I was laying awake in bed sooo upset about losing those pictures & I remembered that I had uploaded the pictures into Travis's side of the computer....sure enough they were all there!!! YEA YEA YEA!!

We had such a fun Valentine's Day. I went a bit overboard...but I come by it honestly thanks to MY wonderful Mother who always celebrates this holiday right! I decorated the table (with the cute place settings Mom sent...thanks!xoxo) and lots of candy! The girls got matching shirts & dresses that they wore to church the following week! Dad helped make us a yummy breakfast of french toast with raspberries, bacon & eggs...sooo good!

We really have so much to be thankful for, we are so blessed to have a wonderful family that we love so dearly!

I am going to SCREAM!!!

I am SOOOO MAD! I am a complete idiot when it comes to machines, including cameras. I somehow have erased all of the adorably cute pictures of Montana's Third Birthday, Valentine's Day & Grandma Korella's visit! I am soooo ticked off!!!!

Micheal Buble Concert

The Schow's so generously invited Travis & I to attend the Micheal Buble concert with them in January. We had such a GREAT time! The concert was incredible! The company was a blast and the food was awesome....definately a night to remember!

Girls just playing!

The girls were having such a fun time playing the other day! They were busy doing blocks, rolling around, & just being happy! Here are a few pictures!

 
I must document that Landry & Jon did drive ALL the WAY up to CALGARY & visit us!!! YEA!!! What a wonderful visit it was! We: had lunch with Grandpa, Dianna, & Ryun; went to the Science Centre, visited the Zoo, had a fabulous dinner at the Calgary Tower & even had American Thanksgiving with all the Kenney's....boy, we were sure busy! Thanks guys for making the trip. We sure appreciated it!

Zoo Trip

 
 
 
 

It was warm for a long time. This is a family Zoo trip in November! I loved all of these pictures!

Halloween

 

 

 

 

I know that this is late, but I must document how cute the girls were. Colleen was a great butterfly & Montana a very frightening Dragon. We had fun at the Ward Party & trick-or-treating!

Christmas Events 2007

Soooo....here goes! The girls & I were able to spend almost a month in Arizona for Christmas. We sure had a great great time. We played sooo much with Bamma & Bammpa Matheny & Kimmy; we spent the week of Christmas at the Bullock's house & had a fabulous time playing with them. Mom turned 50 years old on January 3rd so Landry, Dad & I threw here a huge sorta surprise party! We feed horses, went bowling twice, jumped on the trampoline, played tennis & badminton, rode scooters & bikes, SHOPPED, & just had a great time! Travis even took me to test drive a Porsche (yea, good thing there were no cops around...I got it into 5th gear before I was informed of my speed!!!) Travis was very happy that I could drive it though!!

Todd & Casey, Landry & Jon were able to join us after Christmas day. It was such a blessing to all be together. It really has not happened before. How great to have such a fun family!!

Thanksgiving in Victoria

We drove to Victoria on wednesday and spent the long weekend with Trav's parents! We had a great time! We did lots of new fun stuff: visit the butterfly garden, swim at the commonwealth pool, visiting the petting farm, feed animals at Beacon Hill park & pick some pumpkins! We had so much fun with Grandma & Grandpa...they spoiled our girls with love, attention, yummy treats & toys! You can't get much better than that!

Montana also loved Grandma's stamps...which she chose to ingest after nicely playing with it for two days...oh, well...the blue eventually came off!!

Ode to Colleen

I must say that my little one does not have as many pictures taken of her...so here is a post of just her! Colleen is such a sweetheart! She is soooo patient with us, she is always smiling & loves to talk to us! Her hair is just funny, her eyes are so attentive & her little hands are always trying to touch my face. She is truly an angel sent from heaven.

A Very Busy Friday

Travis has been out of town AGAIN...this week. Therefore, I decided that it was time to go on an adventure! Tanya & I drove our kids to the Drumheller Royal Tyrell Museum (or dinosaur museum) & had a very fun time. I must say that the drive was quite long but I had a great time visiting with Tanya! Montana & Marcus had lots of fun running around, watching the movies & computers, finding the "bones" although the roaring dinosaurs did spook them a bit!!
Then we went to Auntie Diana's at night. Darren & Niki got a little kitty named Bobbi, which Montana just adored! She chased her around, loved her & threw a string at her...she doesn't understand the 'dangle' concept!! Ha Ha. Thanks for letting us terrorize your cat!!!
One more day without Dad...what could tomorrow bring!!!????

EARRINGS!!!!

Montana decided that she would like to get her ears pierced...so we did it!! She was so excited and marched into Claire's and asked the girls,"will you pierce my ears!" The workers just melted and got everything ready so fast! Montana picked the largest diamond earrings, we instead got the smallest ones which look adorable. Montana sat so still and waited as they counted 1-2-3 punch!!! She had been smiling so big then looked shocked, then cried!! I felt bad, yet had to not try to laugh...she was devastated that she got hurt. She quickly got over the pain, once she was handed a green lollipop and hasn't stopped showing off her earrings!

Flathead Lake with the Korella's

We have such a great time every year with the Korella's. This is the only time of the year that we all get together & have two weeks of uniterrupted fun! We played hard on the lake everyday, went to the movies (Harry Potter & Hairspray), had fun shopping, eating at Richwein's & best of all visiting WalMart everyday!!! AAHH!! Seriously, we had an awesome 2 weeks. Uncle Blake & Aunt Kandyce pulled their Malibu up from Az. (THANK YOU) we had so much fun skiing, tubing & swimming around!! Uncle Blake also stayed for the whole two weeks, it was lots of fun having him around. Melissa & Brooke were great helpers with the babies! Sara & I definately appreciated their help! We want to thank Gramma & Grandpa for another successful Dipstick-athon & a very exciting "happy Un-birthday!". Thank you for all the fun gifts & the Harry Potter cake was great wasn't it!! hehe! (Sara, Chantel & I picked it out!)

We Love you All! Thanks for a great summer

Landry & Jon's Wedding Weekend

We had the most wonderful week at my parents home waiting for Landry & Jon to get married. We played very hard & relaxed lots...then prepared for the wedding! The wedding went perfectly from the actual wedding to the reception to the girls behavior!! It was so great to meet Jon's family. They are such great people, we definately know why Jon is such the great guy that he is! The girls absolutely loved spending the week with their new Aunt & Uncle. We just love Casey & Jon, they are such perfect additions to our family. We also love Mom & Dad's newly renovated home...it is soooo beautiful! Thanks for the awesome week! We love you all!!

Ohh, some of the pictures are of Landry's beautiful bridal shower that Fredda threw for her. It was incredible. Thanks Fredda, you are an amazing Aunt!
