10 Months Old...

When we bought our house this past summer all we knew was that an elderly lady had lived there previous to us. Once we started getting to know others in town and explaining where we lived we often heard "Oh! The Klassen House!" Apparently the lady who lived in our house had a good and sweet reputation from the people we spoke to. We found out she was living in the Manor now, and so after gathering some courage B and I decided to pop in for a visit and introduce ourselves. Sure enough, she was as sweet as everyone said and was overjoyed to have visitors, especially my sweet baby girl. We usually try to visit with her for sure once a month now and the last visit I made sure to take a picture! She may not look too thrilled in this picture, but she really enjoys our visits :)

Beautiful weather means daily walks!

Beautiful things we see on our walks, this barn is next door.

Enjoying some delicious sushi at Miso House for my 23rd birthday (ok time, you can start slowing down now!!)

Delicious Soup!

B came along with us to her first WHL game, Wheat Kings vs Broncos! She did SOOO well! I couldn't believe it. The game went late and it was loud, but that didn't stop her from having fun :)

My Sweetheart and me at 10 Months. Twins :)

'Tis The Season

So... I have this bad habit of not taking pictures when we go places. I guess it's probably a good thing because I'm "living in the moment"but still, I have no pictures to show of things. We drove to my parents for a week over Christmas and I think I took less than 10 pictures and they were all of Bekah, haha.

We were out for 6 days and it flew by too fast! It was a great trip spent with my family and I was thankful to catch up with a few good friends as well. Oh, and I ate WAAAYY to much food, but HEY 'tis the season :D

Little B test driving her sweet new ride!

Playing hockey at Grandma and Grandpa T's.

Grandpa fed this little nugget a chocolate turtle. I think she liked it.

Fancy Christmas outfit!

Nom Nom Nom.

Swim Time, Parcels, 9 Months, Silly Baby

Excited for swim time in the tub! 

We received a Christmas parcel in the mail from grandma T

We have had some beautiful weather so far this month, so we usually go on a walk each day

Little B turned 9 Months!

She's got a good view at what I'm baking :)

Everything in the cupboard comes out, baby goes in

Deer oh Deer

This little sweetheart opens up the drawer under the stove and hops right in :)

CUTIE

First deer shot by this Momma. :D

It's Been A While

It has been a while since I posted anything.

Nothing seemed blog-worthy. Except a cute movie of Bekah gnawing on our wooden kitchen chairs, but for some reason that video just didn't want to load.

Next my laptop cord stopped working, which kept me from blogging once again. Thankfully we ordered one in and I'm ready to give some sort of update on life.

We visited my family for Thanksgiving and got to partake in all the activities: lots of food, getting the flu, combine/grain buggy rides, catching up with good friends, spending time with family!

We enjoyed getting to spend time with a African children's choir at youth group and hearing them perform the next day. It was awesome!

Bekah went to her first Riders game! It was a bit chilly, so we all bundled up. It was too noisy for Bekah's liking, but thankfully she slept for at least a part of the game :)

Other than that..

Bekah is getting close to 9 months and is a very fun and busy girl. She keeps me sweeping and vacuuming A LOT, but even then she's always finding SOMETHING to pick up (and put in her mouth).

Yesterday whitetail season opened in our area and Bekah came along on her first hunting trip (nap time).  Jared shot a buck and I'm hoping to get something as well yet.

I've enjoyed designing our Christmas card this year and I look forward to getting some Christmas shopping in, hopefully soon.

7 Months

This past weekend my baby girl hit the 7 month mark. 

I cannot believe it. 

She is growing up too fast!

Her favorite things include:

Standing. Anywhere. If she's feeling adventurous, she will hang on with only one hand and give a big proud-of-herself grin. :)

Exploring. She enjoying crawling everywhere and finding something new to chew on.

Talking. She has been repeatedly saying "mama" and "dada" and "nana"(banana??) I don't know if she knows exactly what she is saying.. but it kind of seems like it, she uses them in the right context, so...? Who knows :)

Bath time. It is super fun for her, but rather tiring for me! Why did we buy such a deep bath tub?!! My little one is such a squirmy wiggler I have to lean over the tub and try to hold her while she tries to flop on her tummy and crawl/swim (swawll??) all over the tub. 

 Happy 7 Months Baby Girl!

Anniversary Date

So...Our 2nd Wedding Anniversary was this past Monday, but we actually chose to celebrate Sunday instead. Jared's sister graciously babysat our sweetheart while we went out for a couple hours. So how does one celebrate such an occasion after having a baby? Answer: We keep the date local and short. We played mini golf at the same place we had our very first date ever then we went around to a few different restaurants where we enjoyed delicious appetizers. We also picked up some yummy icecream for movie night at home :)

Jared being a goof

I'm danger-jess with a golf club!

We had different challenges at different holes such as having to use the opposite hand or having to bank the ball of of each of the walls. This challenge was to put with a "pool cue"
