A couple weeks ago Kim and the kids took a trip to Welling to see family. This was Nixon's first trip with his car seat facing forward
They made a stop at Sparwood on the way up and saw "The World's Largest Truck"
The kids had lots of fun running around under it
Lyza took this picture, she might have a future in photography
All of that fun tired them out
When they arrived in Welling they were treated to a yummy birthday dinner for Kim's birthday the day before
Nixon had no problems warming up to his grandparents
They made it just in time for the end of the corn harvest. Lyza enjoyed helping Grandma pick the corn.
She also made a little furry friend in the corn patch (caterpillar on her arm).
The kids couldn't wait to try out Great Grandpa's toys
Lyza was helping Grandma work on her puzzles
Nixon was really impressed with this toy
Excited to sit with Grandpa when he got home from work.
Meanwhile, I got to enjoy some time to myself. Photo credits go to Lyza on this one.
Love these beautiful fields!
But Nixon wasn't impressed with how poky the wheat was.
There were many hours spent jumping on the trampoline
Kim's cousin Krystal made it out for a visit
This was Nixon's first ice cream cone (that he got to eat all by himself from start to finish), he thought it was pretty fantastic.
Lyza is a pro with these things
Pj's on, reading some scriptures, and then bedtime!
Thanks for the fun visit Krystal! Looks like Nixon has his bedtime shoes on?
Lyza was allowed to bring one friend on our trip to sleep with. Sharp Tooth would naturally be the first choice of any little girl
Grandma and Grandpa's house is exhausting
The kids had a fun day at the Coaldale splash park/wading pool
They had to keep a close eye on this little guy, he was fearless in the pool!
He even jumped into the pool all by himself when no one was watching, but of course that one didn't make it on video ;)
Some snacks at the pool
Goofing around with Grandma and Great Grandpa
Kim was really sad to miss her good friend Annie's wedding earlier this year but had a great time catching up with her and her husband during their trip
Lyza made a special order of moose pancakes for breakfast
New born yawns are super cute!
Nixon was fascinated with her
He had to point out all of her body parts
He was pretty excited about "holding" her. He even snuck in a little kiss after this picture. Since Hailey doesn't have an older brother I think Nixon will gladly volunteer to fulfill that roll.
Happy grandma
Playing at the park by Kevin and Amanda's
Lyza thought Hailey was pretty great too
Stop for dinner at Dairy Queen on the way home from Calgary. Lyza always has fun eating at "restaurants"
This lucky girl sure got spoiled!
Lyza had been playing outside one morning. At one point Kim looked out the window and couldn't see her anymore. After going outside and looking around Kim found she had been hanging out in the garden with Great Grandma. Can't blame her :)
Making some play doh with Grandma
Of course Lyza wanted it to be green
One of our favorite things to have at Grandmas is her homemade rolls. It didn't take Nixon long to figure out what a treat they are.
Checking out the cat tails
Sun flowers
Our beautiful girl
Lyza was so excited to get up on the quad with Grandpa. Although, once she got up there she didn't want him to drive...she just wanted to talk. Typical Lyza
Lots of different books to read.
Kim and the kids celebrateGrandpa's 89th birthday! Kim's birthday is just 6 days before, but he's got 60 years on her. Doesn't he look great!
Picture with the great grand kids
Grandma gave Kim this beautiful plate for her birthday. It was given to them for their wedding.
More sleeping with sharp tooth
Kim looked in my rear view mirror on the drive home at one point and saw this. <3
Stopped and played at a park in Fernie on the way home. They had this awesome train there
All good things must come to an end. Kim came home to smoky Idaho, but it did rain the next day and help things clear up a little
It is pretty obvious that they had a great trip. But its good to have them home
Take care
Looks like a lot of fun!
