Summer Update

Wow, hard to believe that we are already in August. As the summer is quickly fading by we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Myah Jade. Myah is supposed to be here by the 27th (Kim is hoping sooner!), but I have a feeling she may join us a little early.


Jewels is growing everyday and is starting to say the cutest things and even putting together a few short sentences (Up Please and No Daddy are some of her more frequent. We'll have to work on that last one:). I don't think she really knows what is about to happen with a new baby sister on the way, but we know she will be a wonderful big sister! We can't wait to show pictures of Myah when she arrives. In the meantime, here are a few pic's of the family.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Kim and I were able to get away and spend five nights in Puerto Vallarta. We really missed Jewels but it was good to get away and get some much needed R&R. The Westin Resort & Spa was where we stayed. It was right on the bay, which offered some great views of the Ocean and bay and was also really close to many restaurants and shops. We hopped on the local city bus one of the days and experienced the old town part of Puerto Vallarta. The bus ride was quite interesting, picture a 35 year old school bus driven by a 20 something aspiring Nascar driver and you kind of get the idea!! We arrived safely and the sights of the downtown were pretty cool. Anyway, here are a few pictures.

2009 Surprise


Wow, Mommy and Daddy just told me some interesting news. I really don't know what to think about it just yet. They say I am going to be a big sister this fall!!

Christmas Day 2008
















We arrived back home on Christmas Day from Arizona to a winter wonderland. We had over a foot of snow on the ground which is a record for Vancouver on Christmas Day. There has only been snow on Christmas day seven times since 1940. Jewles thought it was pretty cool!
