2 months in review working BACKWARD


The past couple of months have been jam packed with life. I have already done a post highlighting Ryan's and my trip to Hawaii. Here are some of the other things that we have been doing. Of course I uploaded them in the wrong order. You forget those kinds of things when you haven't blogged for awhile.



As I go through the pictures I notice there are tons of Greta , some of Edwin and only the occasional picture of Joseph. So here is my handsome 7 year old. (It's not that I don't love him as much. It's because he is away at school everyday. )

Edwin and Grandpa B working in the garden. We've had an incredibly mild winter. I don't think you can even call it winter. The Olympics are suffering because of it but I'm rather enjoying it. The crocus' and tulips are already poking their heads up.


I decided to forgo chocolate and candies for Valentine's Day and bought this enormous bear and two razor scooters for the boys. ( Thanks to the awesome discounts at LW) Greta was overjoyed with her gift. The scooters were received with less enthusiasm. Can we say SPOILED!


We also had a Valentine's Tea Party with 12 of our closest friends 3 and under. :) It was tons of fun.



There were two birthday's in the family (that live in Vernon) that we celebrated as well. Happy Birthday Gaby...


Oops! I don't know how this picture slid in between the birthday shots. If you want to feel worse about your weight have your 1 year old try on your bathing suit!

happy b-day Ardie.


Because of the mild weather we've enjoyed playing at the park with our friends.


Greta and I had some female bonding time. I did her nails then let her do mine. Didn't she do a great job!!

Like any girl, Greta loves having "pretties".


Edwin confided to my the other night that some of the kids at school tease him and say he looks like a girl!! I'm ready to go to his school and spank some nasty little kindergarten butts. I think they are just jealous of his good looks and good nature.


My sister Maria wrote a children's book for my parents for Christmas. It has many treasured memories from our childhood. Here we are enjoying Grandma B's reading of it. My boys quote lines from her book all the time now.


Mom and Dad Burnham completed their mission in San Diego. We welcomed them home with a red carpet and banner. We are so glad to have them back. Sad they are off again to serve at the Vancouver Temple but glad they are closer and we can visit.




I think I should send this photo in to Tim Horton's.(minus the bags of recycling in the background) If that face doesn't sell their product nothing will.
Well that's a summary of the fun we are having. Hope you are all well too.

Fun to see the goings on in Vernon! And yes...with the typical Swiss greeting, I get a lot of action these days. :) It's three kisses on the cheek to say hello/goodbye.

Your kids are so cute.

I love Greta's great job on your nails. Grace always pulls out the polish and makes me do her toes.

Greta's hair is adorable! It's getting so long. I love reading your posts, now I feel caught up.

ps - those mean kids are definitely just jealous of Edwin!

Ohhhh....your kids are SOOO cute, but growing up WAY too fast. When I saw Greta's pics I couldn't believe it was her.
