Weekend with Auntie Brenda and Uncle Gord


It was so great that they were able to come up.  They drove all the way from Sicamouse to come and visit everyone.  It was the first time that Natalie or Auntie Brenda and Uncle Gord have ever met each other so it was a special meeting.   Natalie took to Auntie Brenda so quickly  it was great!  They loved each other right from the start. It was a fun weekend, spending time at campfires and the beach.

The first night they were there and everyone was dancing and playing name that tune. Ironically Jason was beating everyone at it even uncle Gord the well known champion. 




Auntie Shannon and Jay dancing with Natalie


Oh the fun!

Natalie and Uncle Ryan.  She is usually terrified of men but not Uncle Ryan.  They ended playing for like two hours that night.  Ryan got a kick our of her and Natalie loved playing with him!

Natalie liked to knock them over








We found a dead fish on the sand and so Uncle Gord got the wheel barrow and wheeled it off far away.  Natalie was pretty interested int he fish.




....oh bye bye fish!

Stampede Breakfast At Auntie Jens brothers Ward


There were lots of fun and games for the kids.  Natalie had a lot of fun with the water games and the hula hoops.   She was able to play with Heidi, Ross and Natalie's little girl.  Heidi really likes Natalie.  They call her little Natalie.

Stampede Week in Calgary


We took the C-Train down town for the Stampede to take Natalie to the petting Zoo they had there and to watch the fireworks.  Grandpa rented me a wheel chair and pushed around all night.  It was really nice!  Definitley could not have walked the whole way.  Only 24 weeks pregnant, it makes a huge difference being pregnant with twins than with a single baby.  The fireworks were awesome and Natalie like the horses.  We tried to take her on the kids rides, but the minimum height was 36 inches and Natalie is only 32.  Next year for sure!

  Mommy and Natalie...you can see how big I am already. At this time with Natalie I was barely showing!  
I look like Im 32 weeks pregnant.






Visiting the mini ponies.  Natalie was a bit scared of them.  Didn't want to get too close.

Natalies new hair style


I got these ideas from pinterest.  I love them!  They work great on little toddlers who's hair is not long enough to french braid.  The only draw back is that Natalie hates when I put the little elastics in her hair.  I have to bribe her with candy or toys. haha.....but totally worth it! 


A back view

Cute when put into two little pigtails.  The great thing is that you can use the basic idea and then tweak the styles to how you want.  Thats what I did with this one.
