Canada

Hello!

We are having a fabulous time in Ontario so far. I have had the chance to visit with my cousin Kim before she headed back out to BC, I also got together with some old church friends Sabrina & Maddy + baby #2 (almost here), Robin & Eli & Ariana and Jillian & Ethan. It was a fun morning and great for Ezekiel to play with some "little" friends while he is here. I also got to go out for tea & dessert with my high school ladies!! (Natalie, Sarah, Leanne & Patti) We had a blast and i will have to post the pic here when i get home.

Shiloh came last Fridays and so it has been nice to have a little family vacation all together here. We went with Mikey & Kayla to downtown Toronto where they are going to live after they get married. Some good times with the almost newlyweds!

Yesterday was the best Labour Day ever!! We had lots of family time around the pool as it was really hot and then Bryan & Jordan cooked us all dinner. mmmmmmm...i love food!

Mikey & Kayla's wedding is fast approaching...4 days! I'm looking forward to seeing more family and friends which should be exciting. I feel as though our time is going fast here and i'm not looking forward to going back to work yet. But it has been a very restful time so I'm thankful for that!

Well i will let you all know how the wedding turns out and put some pics of the cutest ringbearer ever soon!

Hello Everyone! We are back again! I got motivated to update my blog today because my friend Erin just started one and i thought, well people don't even know that Ezekiel has turned 2!!! SO yes Ezekiel turned 2 in May (and i turned 29) and my parents were here to celebrate with us! Here are a few pics from our birthday celebrations!

Shiloh started a new job as an electrician apprentice today and I have been working part time in our church office about 20 hours/week.

We hope everyone is enjoying their summer and doing lots of swimming! We will see our Canada Family & Friends in a few days!

loving spring

Hello Friends!

We have been enjoying Spring so far (even though it hasn't been super warm yet!) We have gone to the park several times. Ezekiel espeically loves to ride in the bike trailer this year which is great for exercise for me! Last Thursday i took him and his little friend Anna to the park in the bike trailer, they loved it! I looked back and they were just chatting away with each other and telling me to go "faster!" Here are a few pics from another park we visited 2 weeks ago:



We also have been tot eh Lincoln Children's Zoo (the day it opened!) with Shiloh's parents. It was a fun relaxign evening to walk around and look at the animals and ride the "choo choo" train..he was kinda mesmorized in this pic, but keeps talking about the train.
Daddy also helped him feed the goats, it was a little scary at first, but he loved it! He even tasted the animal treats to make sure they were ok!! (eww so gross!)


Shiloh & I were able to get away for the week-end. We went up to Strombsburg, Nebraska and stayed in a little bed & breakfast. Our friends Lydia & Chris got married yesterday so that is why we went up there and since Shiloh was involved by playing guitar and singing we were also invited to the rehearsal. For the reception they had a swing band playing '30's and '40's music and so it was so much fun to dance to that kind of music verses doing "YMCA" at another wedding! It was such a beautiful wedding and great to see how God brought these 2 together. They are also YWAMers and i work with Lydia at church so we have a great connection!

My parents are coming to visit on Tuesday, so we are looking forward to our time with them. We haven't seen them since Christmas so they will see a big change in Ezekiel! Well i thought i would try and keep up with my posting. Thanks for the comments for those of you who are still reading. Love you and miss you all!

our little man

We're backkkkkk...

Hey Everyone!!

Yes, we are back after a long cold winter....and many many MANY months of not blogging. I thought it would be fun to start back up again, since Ezekiel is now 22 months old and is saying super funny things and just being...well...his crazy self. I have been enjoying facebook and being connected with friends that i haven't talked to for years, so that is quite fun!

I tried to add a picture on here and have been having troubles, so i decided to go ahead and blog even if i couldn't add pictures.

I have been working at our church for the past 3 months, only doing 12 hours a week which is really nice. Shiloh's mom watches Zeke for me all day Tuesdays and for a half day on Thursdays. I am the Operations Assistant, which just means that i help out Jeff Tyson who is the Operations Pastor so i do everything from ordering Easter Lilies to helping pick out stuff for our Foyer Renovation. I like it b/c i am always doing something different so it doesn't get boring.

Ezekiel has been saying lots and lots of new words, his new favorite word is "Gammy" for Grandma. He will point at our bedroom (where our computer and web cam is) and say "Gammy!" when he wants to call her which is super cute! Anna came over for a visit this morning which was so nice since the weather is super blah today.

My brother Bryan is coming for a visit on Saturday which we are really looking forward to since he hasn't been here since 2004. And Shiloh & I are going to a Shane & Shane concert on Friday night with our BFF's Jeff & Ciana and our new friends Chris & Lydia so we are super pumped about that as well.

Well...i think that's it for now, i should get to cleaning as I've put it off for most of the afternoon. Leave me comments if you are still out there reading :)
