The North Pole

Some of you may know that this past two weeks we have been moving the gravel crusher up to the northwest territories. That being said a few days ago Jeff came it to the house and said if we(me and the kids) wanted to go on a road trip we need to be on the road in an hour. This wasn't the first time that he had done this so we have things ready to go all the time. So in the motor home we were on our way to the northwest territories.

This is us entering into the North Pole!

Tayv was such a trooper in her car seat. We, well I made her spend most of our moving time in her seat but as soon as I was behind the drivers seat Jeff would give her a break and take here out. Kenyon on the other hand took over the couch. He want from sitting to laying to sitting on the floor and playing with his toys on the couch to watching a movie. He was all over the couch and so good at staying out of the way.

This is the main attraction, The Gravel Pit. We drove for 15 hour to see this! Good thing Kenyon and Tayvee loves to play in the dirt and gravel. But this is where we travel all the time, from pit to pit. So if I ever talk about the pits this is what I am talking about.

One of our many stops.

There is a national park that we drove through on our quest, Wood Buffalo National Park. This is were we saw buffalo all over the ditches. They are about the same size as the motor home, ok well up to the middle of the window!

This is at Alexander Falls in the Northwest Territories.

I know this isn’t the northern lights but this is the best I got to see. While I was in the North I didn’t get to see the Northern Light. Ya I was so mad, I didn’t get to check something of my bucket list! But I will be back sooner than I would like. Three days and 3,000km later ends in a long trip, but if this is the way to spend more time with Jeff I am all for it.

Swimming at the Ledg.

Last Friday was one of the few nice days here in Edmonton, so we took advantage of it and headed downtown to the Legislative building. In the yards there is this big shallow pool and a fun waterfall that people go and play in.

I miss the nice warm weather that we had in Provo. Summer started in March and ended in November! Here it is hard to find a hot day to go swimming so when we do find one we are outside in the water!

Happy Birthday Tayvee

So my baby is one. What an amazing kid I have. It seems to me that she is the happiest girl that I have ever known. She always has a smile on here face. We love you tayv!

Summer in the Car

For us lately, we have been going from Edmonton to Innisfail as much as two times a day. You ask why, well Jeff has his crusher there and I guess that I am the parts girl or as Jeff would refer me to as the gopher! So the kids and I have lived in the car for months now it seems and the drive is going to get a lot longer. Jeff is looking at a job in the NORTH POLE! Ok well the North West Territories. {Google said that it is a day and one hour drive, unlike my two hour drive to Innisfail}
And if we are home you can find Kenyon in his sand pit out back, he calls it his work! Tayvee is always trailing right behind.

Hair Cut Day

Yes, this is what I do to my boy.

Sometimes when I cut Kenyon's hair we get out the Bleach too.

Maybe next time I will think about Tayvee getting in on this.

Our Little Girl

Last Month in Review

I guess I should catch up. It has been a forever.

For the past 3 months I have been training to run this half marathon in Cardston, Alberta. I will just say this; I did it and will do it again!

Another crazy thing I did was pierce my nieces, Kayla’s ears. Ok I got help from my other sis. She did one ear and I did the other. Just over a year and she got here ears pierced at a city park called Henderson. I found some cute earrings at the beauty suppliers and my sis Natalie was all for it and I have to it looks good on her!

While I was doing the Piercing Kenyon got to play with Ryker.

And for my kids, they will not stop growing up. My Tayvee has 4 teeth and can climb up and down stairs. And for Kenyon he has found a new friend right in our back yard. There is a hole in the fence and on the other side is a 3 year old that Kenyon just loves to play with.
