Grandpa Ashby and Grandma Joan came through on their way to Vernon where they will start their 3 week vacation to Winnipeg. They were anxious to see all of Juliette's new tricks.

August long weekend

Oma and Grandpa Mark came to camp for the long weekend in Merritt. We had a nice visit and even got to pick a few apricots at aunt Deana's across the street. Mom and Mark brought their dog Tala, Juliette just loved him thinking he was a giant puppet.







Poor Tala was such a good sport and let her pull his ears and ride on his back. thanks for the visit guys.

The boys are back in town

we were so lucky to have my nephews Justin and Dawson come stay with us for the week. They were a great help with entertaining Juliette, watering the garden and Dawson grating all the cheese. thanks guys.

We had alot of fun off roading to get to a secret beach by the river, hot tubing & berry picking. Darren took them 4 wheeling and to shoot off 1000 paintballs. I won't tell everyone about the singalong and dance routines to "Dora". Juliette loved it!

Here are the boys posing with their tubes at our secret spot by the river. That bridge in the back ground was missing a few beams on the deck so needless to say we had to put it in 4 wheel drive to make it across.

This was taken at a viewpoint overlooking Merritt. Juliette thought she was flying so she wore her pilot hat and glasses. Our house is in the tree area about an inch to the right of the top of Justin's orange hat.
Mel and Dave came up to Merritt to pick-up the boys and brought me a beautiful bouquet of pink long- stem roses for having the boys. it was our pleasure.

7 months old

Auntie Nadia and Uncle Andrej came up for a visit on Juliette's 7th month Birthday weekend.We all had a great time, Juliette especially had fun snowboarding on the rocking stool with Auntie and Uncle. Andrej and I took shifts pitting the 20lbs of cherries i bought while Nadia entertained Juliette.




















We enjoyed a barbecue at the lake with Haika and Dave. Including a delicious dessert made by Andrej (A Slovakian family recipe). It was a very nice evening.



















On July 19th we went to
the river with a bunch of people for a picnic and tubing. Juliette dipped her feet in the cold water briefly. She is recovering from the shock in Auntie Angie's arms.

Well Iam excited to announce that her first word is mom,mom. She also has 2 more teeth up top. She is developing quite the little personality, we are enjoying every minute of it.
