Long Weekend

We have been having lots of fun these past few weeks. We have had lots of visitors and been able to get out and enjoy the outdoors. 

  Alex and Joe came over to visit Baby Blakely and they also brought over dinner. We were able to have a nice BBQ and then we walked over to Menchies for some yummy frozen yogurt. It was great to have them come out and meet baby and have the kiddos play together. 
That weekend as Camilla and Ryan were visiting Channing was so excited that he ran past the table and there are cords hanging from the computers and he got his ankle caught and completely tripped. He was screaming and I could not calm him. He cried for about an hour and then Everee wanted him to play in the sandbox with him so he ran out there and then just fell to the ground screaming again. I then decided that we should take him to have his foot checked out. We had to wait for about an hour and then they x-rayed it and said it wasn't broken but a few things were torn. They said just to keep him off of his feet for a few days and then keep him in a supported shoe and it should heal well. The next day was pretty much spent on the couch watching TV. The next day he was up and walking with a limp and walking on his heals. He is pretty good now just kinda limps a little bit, but running and jumping around just fine and not complaining about it at all. 
Mike and Bailey came over that weekend and we ended up being horrible and ditching them. We went over to Ben and Linda's house for a four course meal. They had a chef come and cook dinner for us and 2 other couples. It was so yummy and everything was super healthy. 

Mother's day was to follow and Brad had a show that weekend so he wasn't able to be around at all. My Mom and Dad came out for the day and cooked dinner and pretty much catered to me. Mike and Bailey were still here so it was nice to have family around. Brad got me some really nice jewelery, 2 necklaces and a pair of earrings for Mother's Day. 


Later that week we had Camilla, Ryan, Meg and Jorge over for a BBQ. They got to cuddle up with Blakely and Everee and Channing loved playing together in the backyard. They are so cute together and really get along well. Everyone went hot tubing, except me cuz I am not quite there yet!!! Jorge kept me company as everyone else was bathing in the nice tub. 
This weekend we decided to do a little trip down south to Raymond as it was the long weekend. Saturday we went out to Waterton, taking many photos along the way for Brad's paintings.  We only took like 3 hrs to get to Waterton because we stopped like every 10 mins to take a picture. We made a quick stop at the temple to snap a few photos then we got to Waterton around 4:00 and went up to Cameron Falls. After that we went and got the famous ice cream. Channing is obsessed with throwing rocks into the lake so we spent about 1/2 hr doing that. Then it was time to go home. 

Bailey and Mike met us at Dad's house and we had dinner and then went into the hot tub! We pulled out some gooder home videos of Mike and laughed out heads off. He was hilarious, we threaten to show them at the wedding but I seriously think he would disown us. 

Sunday Morning we headed home and then Monday we were off to Banff.

We met up with Brad's parents and Kim and Glen. We went out and visited a few lakes so Brad could get some more pictures. Again Channing had to throw the rocks and sticks into the lake. Then we went and hit up The Fudgery and got the famous bear claws and a carmel apple. We stayed the night at the Douglas Fir.







It is such a great place to stay for kids. We went swimming and they had 2 big waterslides that Channing loved! He kept Brad nice and busy going up those stairs, Brad was sore the next day! They also had a playplace with slides and lots fun things to play on. Channing loved it! 

It was a nice weekend to get away and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. It wasn't the warmest but it was still gorgeous and fun. Blakely did amazing. Pretty much just slept the whole time. She has been such a good little baby. She pretty much just sleeps and eats. She still is spitting up a lot. I feel so bad for her, she is just gasy and I don't know how to help her. Once she burps and poops though she is good and falls back to sleep. She is such a chunk so I know she is getting lots of milk, it just sometimes seems like she is throwing it all up. Oh well I guess every baby is different.
