Summer holidays have finally come to an end and Dad and mom have both gone back to work.  We had a great summer seeing so much family and hanging out at the lake.  Unfortunately it is back to reality and I even have to start daycare full time this week.  I had couple test runs and really like playing with all the kids and the pug named puglsey.  We'll see how a full day goes?!

Spoon anyone?

Trying out this spoon thing.

Going for the scoop....

close to the mouth.....

I'm so tricky.

I got to do this again?

Well it has been a great couple weeks here at home.  Dad and I have been watching some serious Olympics and cheering on Canada as best we can.  I even got to go for a swim at my friend Dean's house.  I've been testing out this spoon thing lately.  I don't have it mastered, but love to try.  This weekend is going to be awesome because both of my Grandma's and Grandpa Church are coming to babysit while mom and dad go to a wedding.  We are going to have a blast!!!

Happy Bday Dad

HAPPY 28TH BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!!  It was a rainy day today so for Dad's birthday we hung out inside.  Dad and I have been spending a large amount of time together since mom had to work three nights in a row, so it was the Anna, Oscar, and Dad show.  Yesterday we celebrated Oscar's 2nd birthday and we got him his favorite toy the "Orange Guy" and believe or not it's my favorite too.

Lovin the Lake

To wrap up our three weeks in Dauphin we headed out to lake for August long weekend.  Uncle Brad, Auntie Kristin, Cousin Dean and Luke came out too for their last weekend in Dauphin.  We had a blast celebrating Mom's birthday on the first of August, fire works on Saturday and nice night around the fire on sunday.  I discovered I love the lake and hunting for rocks with Oscar.  

WALKING!

After a week at work Mom, Dad, Oscar and I decided we needed a weekend up at the lake. The whole bunch of us Grandmas, Uncles, Aunties, and Cousins all stayed at the lake for 4 days. On Saturday July 5th I took 10 or so steps and then on Monday July 7th I became what my cousin Carter and Jameson like to call a 'biped'. Now mom and dad chase me everywhere.

Long time no see...

I'm ready for the beach

It has been a long time since I have updated my blog, but it has been a busy 6 weeks. The last week of June when Dad was finishing his last week of school Mom and I came to Dauphin to hang out with all my cousins. Uncle Brad, Auntie Kristin and Cousin Luke and Dean drove all the way up from Phoenix, 35 hours straight, they are nuts. We had a birthday party for all the cousins and everyone had a blast. Mom and I went back to Winnipeg the first week of July because Mom had to go back to work on the 28th of June. That means it's Dad, Oscar, and Me. Wish me luck.

Fathers Day

Dad's cake.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads, especially my dad.  It was an exciting day here because dad raced in his first Manitoba Half Marathon.  I thought he was best as you can see by my shirt.  After the race we celebrated by having yet another ice cream cake.

1st birthday party!

My sweet cake!

I had my 1st birthday party yesterday!  It was super fun.  Grandma Church, Grandpa Church, Grandma Tenley, Auntie Jen and Mandy, Jacquie, Alyssa, and Dean all came over for the big party.  I had a blast playing with Dean, and all my new toys.  Mom made me an awesome number 1 cake all by herself, and I even ate a little bit.  Thanks to everyone for coming and for all the great gifts.

My Dora Ice Cream Cake!

I think I am hilarious with my new Okiedog.

Loving my purse.

I can't believe that is has been one year already.  My birthday this year was on a Wednesday, and we had a little party.  Alyssa, Dean, and Jacquie came over to play, and brought me a cup cake but I didn't like it too much.  When Dad got home we went shopping for a few things and ended buying me some brand new Crocs with the money Greatgrandpa McDill and Greatgrandma Helen gave me for my bday.  That night Mark and Andy came over with a sweet Dari Queen Ice Cream cake (I think dad was more excited than I was) and a awesome Okiedog toy.  I got my Learning Shoes and Singing purse as a early present the weekend before from Grandma Tenley.  I am obsessed with my new purse.  Thanks Greatgrandpa McDill, Greatgrandma Helen, Mark, Andy, and Grandma Tenley for my gifts

I'm Back!!

Me and mom's friend Tamara at the Zoo.

I like Flamingos.

So mom and DAD lost our cord for the camera and we haven't been able to update you all in a while.  It has been a busy few weeks.  Since last time I went to my dad's final band concerts which I loved!! Me and mom went to the zoo!  And I went up to the cabin for one night only because it has been cold and rainy.  Come on sunshine!!!
