Excitement in Edmonton

At the beginning of May Curtis had a work conference in Edmonton. Elle and I got to travel along with him and we made a weekend of it so we could visit with Mike and Katie~! We got to stay in a hotel for the duration which was nice to have someone else to clean up after us. We had a great time and after my most favorite stop: 'Bath and Body Works' (it's a serious addiction of mine, and is going to be bad when the store arrives in Calgary this summer) we even visited the West Edmonton Mall Amusement Park. Who would've thought an indoor park could be so much fun. It was not fun for Elle however, when she saw her daddy and mommy shooting up in the air and dropping down to the ground in no time and heard me screaming from losing my stomach up at the ceiling.....whoops. She was so upset and cried as if something awful was happening to us. She can be a bit sensitive and it is cute because it shows me just how much she loves us. She also does the same thing when Curtis 'tries' to wrestle with me. That's right Daddy...don't mess with mommy!

Elle's Leisure Suit

Just had to share some pictures of Elle in her Leisure suit. I think she looks pretty cute. Ready for a major kiddie workout! She got this outfit as a gift for her 1st birthday.

Elle's First Easter!!

Elle had her very first Easter this year. We spent it with friends at the Family Cabin in Fairmont. The Easter bunny brought Elle a big basket with lots of treats and toys. She also got a new swimsuit. Picture number six is Elle with a mouthful of smarties. I made the mistake of offering her one and she didn't take just one, but the whole handful. Before i could stop her she had them all stuffed in her mouth! She is a big fan of Easter.

Move over Cookie monster!

More Birthday Updates:

Elle loves cake..... what a shocker! We have been blessed with a baby who thinks asparagus, shrimp and peas are a real treat, so the only worry we had was that she might eat the whole cake and have a really awful tummy ache. Elle will eat anything(knock on wood) including an adult sized peice of cake. Here are some before and after shots. The video is yet to come. And in case you are wondering.. The tummy ache we worried about was replaced with a glazed over look we like to call---- Cake Overdose!
