Pic of the Day ~ Becca on a Big Swing!

becca swingingWe had a wonderful day with my Dad! We had breakfast then my Dad made us Espresso’s (How cool is it that my Dad has an Espresso machine!?!?).

My Dad has been doing some remodeling so absolutely LOVED having his ever os knowledgable son-in-law assisting in the jazz!

Becca had an uber long nap this afternoon. She has had some major late nights and a lot of excitement that last week and a half!

Sadly, my Dad had to head off to work late this afternoon, but will return tomorrow night!!

My Grandma stopped by for a short visit, and we are going to go hang out with her tomorrow.

Betty tagged me with this meme to list the 10 Mac Apps that I use daily. I so love my IBook! I am still fairly new to the Apple world and there are so many apps waiting to be discovered, however here are my 10 Mac Apps I use daily!

1. Mail
2. Transmit
3. iTunes
4. iPhoto
5. iChat
6. Firefox (for Mac)
7. Adium (a must have for Mac users that use MSN & Yahoo, it is an IM client that you can add a bunch of accounts to in one neat list…plus the icon is a duck that quacks and that makes me giggle)
8. iCal (I would be lost without it!)
9. Address Book (no link I could find odd eh?)
10. Spymac (Although a community, there are Club software that I use daily that is Mac specific and omg the members rock, I have learned so much!)

So if you have the pleasure of owning a Mac, please participate in this meme and leave me a comment!

We Made IT…To my Dad’s!

Pic of the Day ~  Becca & Grandma!

Becca & Grandma!

I am thinking that I miss lead you yesterday. Sorry! We did leave the in-laws, however we cruised over on province to my Dad’s place! I will not be heading back to to California for 2.5 weeks & J is going back on Sunday. I will however continue to blog everyday (I may not be able to keep up with all your amazing posts though :cry: I have been trying!)

We got up early and packed up. Becca played with Grandma & Grandpa M till it was time to go :cry:. We drove to Medicine Hat and had some lunch then kept on cruising to Saskatchewan! Becca had a nice long nap, once up she enjoyed watching for cows and trains. My Dad was not sure if he would be home, being an engineer for the railroad means unpredictable hours.

We pulled into his driveway and there he was standing there (just by chance!) We unpacked the crazy amount of gear we are lugging around then hit the grocery store for supplies!

Becca totally remembers her Grandpa R so well! Right off the bat she was uber comfy with him. My Dad had an old table and chairs and a rocking chair (all kid size) from when I was a kid set out for her and a big bear (as tall as her) and my old teddy! She loved all of it however, she totally is in love with his backyard! Not only is it a HUGE backyard, the people next door have a golden lab that comes to the fence and is all cute and friendly!!

Before we knew it…it was time for Becca to head to bed. Now we are chilling out and my Dad is BBQing us steak, corn on the cob and potatoes…..Mmmmmm!! We already had a shrimp ceasar salad….MMmmmmm!!

One Last Day…

Pic of the Day ~ Becca and her Auntie Kristie!

becca and her aunt

Becca woke in the wee hours in the morning, so J spent some time getting her back to sleep. Since it is our vacation, I convinced J to sleep in a little. Becca & I had breakfast with Grandma M then played!

It was a lazy Sunday. We are trying to pack in as much quality time in before we leave tomorrow! It is sad to think, we have no idea when we will be back.

Becca had a slightly longer nap, then climbed into my bed to snuggle for a while. It was really nice. It is usually just Becca and I most days so it was nice to have a quiet moment.

We went for a walk in the afternoon then had a wonderful dinner. We are anticipating a visit from friends of ours this evening! We finally get to meet their third baby and see how much the other kids have grown!

Tomorrow we are planning to leave around 10 am to my Dad’s. It will be a quick trip (compared to driving from California to Canada!!) I am hoping to catch a friend of mine for lunch on the way!

Rainy Holiday Days

Saturday, April 22nd, 2006

Pic of the Day ~ Grandpa M’s Tickle Torture (which Becca totally loved)

tickle torture

Dudes today was Earth DAY!!!! I heart Earth Day! Although on vacation we did not celebrate all crazy…Earth Day was on my mind!

It was a rainy day here in Southern Alberta. We all felt a little blue in the gloomy weather, however we went out a few times and out for dinner.

Becca is totally enjoying sending time with her Grandparents and Auntie Kristie. She is interacting with them tons and giggles a lot with her Grandpa M! In fact when Grandpa stops tickling Becca, she says “Tickle MORE Peeeeeeessss” It is so cute! We all went out for ice cream after dinner. Becca will not eat hard ice cream however LOVES soft ice cream!! She ate tons of her Daddy’s cone with her spoon!!

Oooo I almost forgot!! While in the tub this evening Becca took a very large poop. In desperation J had to scoop the poop bare handed out of the tub. Poor guy :lol: It was soooo funny though!

Hi Everyone!
We are having a great time! It was Becca’s Auntie Kristie’s Birthday today. We had ice cream and went to Auntie’s favorite park!

Since I am a little pressed for time I thought I would share with your the vacation photos that I have posted on Flickr so far!

Hope you are all doing well and I do try to read everyone’s blogs when we have a little down time. But I am also reading a book and relaxing a lot too!

Sending our Love from Canada!

Chelle, Becca and J …
