YAHOO - STAMPEDE

My little cowgirl

Stampede! I think this was Elyse's favorite part. Who doesn't love "Those Little Donuts"

Elyse and Laura. She is all smiles now, but she really didn't like the "swings", she is still telling me how she didn't like this ride. We bought a ride pass but she was about an inch too short for most of the rides. We went on a few and she liked the funhouses and the Merry-go-round. Maybe next year we'll get to go on some other rides :)

Tyler, Elyse and Connor at the Market Mall Stampede breakfast. It was crazy busy but we did get to the petting zoo and had the girls picture taken.

My other little cowgirl - she is always along for the ride but she was in the western spirit.

Such nice hair

Elyse loves to suck her thumb and twist her hair. Well this morning she woke up with a HUGE knot that I couldn't untangle so here is the chunk we had to cut out! I am trying a french braid tonight but I don't think it will last long!

Beautiful Day at the Zoo

We had a great day at zoo - when we finally got there. Getting 2 kids out the door is quite the feat! I seem to always be at least an hour slower than I think. We were only there a short time but we got a season's pass (thanks Mom and Dad!!) so I am sure we will be back alot. Elyse is chasing after a peacock that was wondering around - it was pretty neat and she wanted to get up close - she has no fear of any animals - but bugs are another story :)

Paige really enjoyed her first Zoo visit - she slept through most of it.

"LOOK MOM A SNAKE !!"

Mom came with us to the zoo which was great. She is so helpful and I really do need another set of hands these days. It is hard to go any where with a newborn and a two year old.

Paige

Peaceful little girl
I wish she was like this at 3:00am.Things are going well, Paige is a great baby but loves to party at night. She likes to wake me up every hour, nurse for 5 mins and then fall back to sleep for another hour or so. So we are all getting pretty sleep deprived

I like this picture - Paige is really good at scowling and loves looking at you like "what's going on around here?" I wonder sometimes too :)

Paige Sophia Vivier

Paige was born May 19 at 2:25am. She was 8lbs 4 oz and 21.5 inches long. She is a healthy, happy little girl. She has dark blue eyes and dark brown hair. We are so lucky to welcome her to our family


Happy Family. This is right after she was born. It was a pretty good labour - as good as it can be I guess :)







Elyse came to visit in the hospital. She loves Paige and being a big sister. We are all adjusting to our new roles.

So far Paige is a really good little baby. She is really mellow and sleeps lots during the day - around Midnight is her party time so we are all a bit sleep deprived but I guess that goes with the territory. I'll try to keep the posted updated as they change so much from day to day.

2 Year Photos

We went to have Elyse's pictures done for her second birthday. I am pleased at how they turned out. She was so co-operative I couldn't believe it. I had to wake her up and she protested pretty much the whole way there but then was such a good sport.
















This is a picture quite similar to one that I had done around my second birthday. We thought it would be neat to have one for Elyse too. She has WAY more hair than I ever did at her age.















I hadn't really planned on being in the pictures but the photographer told her to listen for the baby in Mommy's tummy and I just loved the look on her face!































I love how innocent she looks in this picture. She is our little angel.

9 More Days - but who's counting :)

Elyse and I getting ready. I am counting down the days until the new little one but nothing yet. I am feeling pretty good just tired and big!
