Visitors

Gibb's parents came up to visit last week-end, it was so nice to have them here. Jayna and Kepler were so excited for Grandma and Grandpa to come. They got in some serious fights about who got to sit beside Grandma at dinner, luckily she has 2 sides! I think we had a perfect mix of fun and relaxing.

Jayna got to paint Grandma's toenails

 Playing Kepler's favourite game Diggity Dog (or diggity doggity as he calls it). This was a gift from Pat for Kepler's birthday and it is a really fun game for 3 year olds.

 We went to the Oil Sands Discovery Centre

  Proof that I was there

 

We decorated spooky Halloween cupcakes

  

On Saturday night we got a babysitter and went to the Keg for dinner

 Keira putting Grandma to sleep ;)

 

This week-end was also the Primary Presentation, so they got to see Jayna do her part. She did a great job memorizing her part (we practiced a lot, even Kepler had it memorized).

I'm just realizing that I didn't get very many pictures of Kepler this week-end. The poor neglected middle child...

 Keira got lots of extra snuggles all week-end!

It was so fun having visitors, and having some extra help too!

Swimming!

 We took Keira swimming for the first time today, and she liked it! She's our first baby to actually like swimming the first time, Jayna and Kepler both cried. I was surprised since she definitely does not like bath time. Jayna liked showing her how to swim and Kepler liked giving her a ride by "pulling" her behind his toy boat.

 

Check out those chubby legs!

She was pretty serious the whole time, but she lasted 30 minutes! Hooray for warm water at Mac Island! We had to sneak these pictures since you're not allowed to take any pictures at the pool. It was totally worth it, and we didn't get caught. :)

Edmonton

We went down to Edmonton for the week-end so that Gibb could go to the Dental Conference. Gibb's whole family ended up having to go out of town that week-end, so we barely got to see them at all.

While Gibb was at his conference the kids and I got to spend a whole day hanging out with Lindsay, Cohen and Ivy!! It was SO fun, and sad all at the same time. We miss them!

 Of course we spent some time at WEM, shopping and playing

We were excited to take Keira over to meet Great Grandma and go for her first swim, but then we found out that morning that she had shingles. So I just dropped Gibb off with Jayna and Kepler instead.

Getting a ride on her walker, as usual.

 

We also got to spend a whole evening with the Olsen's, literally. Me and my kids crashed at their house until about 10 pm while Gibb and Dave were at Priesthood and out for ice cream. Luckily the kids played great together and it was so fun to see them again!

Keira was so good this whole trip. She traveled really well and when we were packing up and getting ready to go I laid her down on her blanket for tummy time for a while, and when I came back she was fast asleep.

 The timing of our trip was perfect, the leaves were so beautiful on the drive home!

 

 

 Both kids were exhausted and slept for almost half the drive home.

These pictures make me laugh because you can tell they were just sucking their thumbs when their mouths are still wide open.
