Kevin and I took her down early in the morning and after all the prep work and talks she was in for surgery at 7:45am to finally fix her hernia that she was born with. The surgery took about 45 min and after two doses of morphine, 2 orange popsicles and alot of crying later (all from Jaclyn btw but I wasn't far myself watching her as she was in pain) we were finally able to move her from recovery and get out of there at about 11am. She was such a trooper and did an amazing job. I was so proud of her!!! She was pretty much a write-off for the rest of Thursday and all day Friday and finally by Saturday she was up and moving around on her own and starting to eat again and play. She is now back to her normal self and we are just waiting for her tummy to heal completely, which the surgeon said may take awhile, so she finally will have a "belly button like Mommy" as Jaclyn like to point out :)<br /><br />On another note everything else here at home is great. Makayla is growing like a weed (6 1/2 months old already). She rolls over both ways and sit on her own completely now. She is very active and moves around lots. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before she learns to crawl or atleast scoot herself across the room. She is also starting to talk and "blab" away to herself which is quite interesting to listen to. Jaclyn is starting to love her even more now that they can sort of play with each other and before we know it those two are going to be joined at the hip getting into all kinds of mischief!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN7Pj8PEeL4Brm_ndIdLVp-myWDR1pn_Z6AwRy_SGmvL5dUZrNC2vAgZYLzg7NF6jXxJsl1Dg6ww1OGlNeUpeYDV9MGSJ8PNTQikmKGEXSydDEbt9gfbDsMzKm9pXJDK0tpQxEGt9wwSUm/s1600-h/SDC10793.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We went and saw Alvin and the Chipmunks The Squeakual. It was such a cute movie, I'm really glad we chose that one. Jaclyn had a blast sharing popcorn and pop and just being in a theatre and was quite and sat there the whole time except for one potty break. She wasn't a fan of the previews though cuz they were to loud for her but that was it. There were no booster seats at this theatre and Jaclyn doesn't have enough weight to her to keep the chair down when she sits all the way back in it so needless to say I had to hold her seat down with one of my hands the whole time ... well let me tell you, I never thought I'd have feeling in my hand and arm again after that .. lol. So worth it though!!! I think this might be something we go and do together every couple months or so if there is a good movie playing.<br />She is also becoming quite the little artist. We got her a desk and easel for Christmas and an art/craft box and she also got another big art center thing also and she loves it. She can sit there in her room forever and paint and colour and stuff ... it's really great and am glad she's enjoying it so much.<br />We had Makayla's 4 month shots last week (a month late) and everything is good with her. She is just a tiny pipsqueak though and is barely in the 50th percentile for her age (Jaclyn had about 4 pounds on her at this age) but that's ok, she can be my little pipsqueak for as long as she wants :) She also has started rolling over and loves it. She is so proud of herself, it's really cute!!<br />Well that's all for now .....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwdnidc5fpFgXgN9wa-wrQEtABxZo3relFV9JZnzhe3NWXogHNQDI27YefVCK4M00qbWu2tBy-vQKAWTo8JnRrk3BWBWlWEAhdpXvtbn0eL5RfRXfiNmjLkbwyTEO4rWfXNNPHwYAxgvuA/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428583559305842898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwdnidc5fpFgXgN9wa-wrQEtABxZo3relFV9JZnzhe3NWXogHNQDI27YefVCK4M00qbWu2tBy-vQKAWTo8JnRrk3BWBWlWEAhdpXvtbn0eL5RfRXfiNmjLkbwyTEO4rWfXNNPHwYAxgvuA/s320/003.JPG" /></a>My baby girl at 5 months<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWItbZCDCGU9DqBzh7_pE5ru3rnuPvhFwLySopZc5OF1lLsTCYAL04asL6-FvyTTP9awGy23CR6NjPVsBqT3bDtZVDpm4ISwnNSNnNynhrJQjrh05CrD0cl7AwnH8-q_2MMwVatrfopElO/s1600-h/002.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428583505262864530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWItbZCDCGU9DqBzh7_pE5ru3rnuPvhFwLySopZc5OF1lLsTCYAL04asL6-FvyTTP9awGy23CR6NjPVsBqT3bDtZVDpm4ISwnNSNnNynhrJQjrh05CrD0cl7AwnH8-q_2MMwVatrfopElO/s320/002.JPG" /></a>Jaclyn doing some art work <br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW7uPV2KtI49ovFs8RFLy3bh2x5ly0oZMMEWvKnn8Z1ZBF7Jgb6CgGVelpKrReE0Jend45T030st22CR6-M4rdqKPsEI0wqdNwhGZ5HtsCXbXkfU_eRjZh3b63He_45HZHImHWCY8q4S3o/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428583105467839426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW7uPV2KtI49ovFs8RFLy3bh2x5ly0oZMMEWvKnn8Z1ZBF7Jgb6CgGVelpKrReE0Jend45T030st22CR6-M4rdqKPsEI0wqdNwhGZ5HtsCXbXkfU_eRjZh3b63He_45HZHImHWCY8q4S3o/s320/009.JPG" /></a>Some of her paintings so far .....<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAtrMrJF5W4z3vkQcmfXWzwfkKWi7lhr1XtWVqxfwIY22IWYoXnWxXe-GQ05wHKWYqhY7yZROGd9xdLxiG65R1axpjAMAOQj5LMKX7Yj4j6hHVE3XM2N_-j4VKAgcuXeRDAgniXBWY0O2G/s1600-h/200.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428583042625866338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAtrMrJF5W4z3vkQcmfXWzwfkKWi7lhr1XtWVqxfwIY22IWYoXnWxXe-GQ05wHKWYqhY7yZROGd9xdLxiG65R1axpjAMAOQj5LMKX7Yj4j6hHVE3XM2N_-j4VKAgcuXeRDAgniXBWY0O2G/s320/200.JPG" /></a> Rocking out in Makayla's room putting on a little show for her :)</div></div></div>The Tolsma'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00479620787953366043noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-565661510796357698.post-14385134367351452902010-01-06T14:36:00.000-08:002010-01-06T14:58:16.664-08:00Happy New Year2010 already ... where did the time go?!?! We all had a great Christmas over here, busy but good. We had Christmas on the Tolsma side a week early and the kids all loved it. It was quite crazy with 11 kids opening up presents plus all the adults but it was great to see how happy they all were when they opened their presents. We then had a quiet Christmas morning at our house with just us and the girls. Jaclyn loved being able to open her and Makayla's presents (might be the only time she'll be able to do that). We got Jaclyn her own desk and easel for her room and she loves it. She'll sit in there forever and draw and colour!!! Then for lunch and the afternoon on Christmas we spent it with Jim's Mom's side of the family and then headed out to Chilliwack to spend the rest of the weekend. We woke up Boxing Day and just pretended it was Christmas again and did gifts and a turkey dinner etc. with Mom, Dad, Kevin and Drew. It was a great time and the girls loved spending time and visiting with Nana and Papa "with Rocky" (as Jaclyn refers to them) and their Uncle Kevin and Uncle Drew who they don't get to see to much of. All in all we had a great Christmas this year and look forward to next year already.<br /><br />Jaclyn and Makayla are growing like weeds. Makayla is going to be 5 months already next week .. where the time goes I have no idea ... and Jaclyn is a very interesting 3 year old. The things she does and comes up with just crack me up .. I never know what to expect from her. She is still a big help with Makayla and loves having a little sister. She can't wait for Makayla to get a little bit bigger so she can actually play with her.<br /><br />Who knows what 2010 is going to bring us this year .. we are hoping for Jaclyn to finally have her surgery this year and other than that we'll just see what it's going to bring our way!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZn7XZmYv4cA0Sboq0LAQJjel80g4aWLldArBC9bAWBoxPCDLsQKoOicQMcOYkJ5r_2BybkPKBUNZDHbIOGndfK9rXnh8_kVjqWRcm1OvZiLACe7M2k9hGa6tJuW95VSgq_6LYFTbmszHf/s1600-h/106.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423760840809583810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZn7XZmYv4cA0Sboq0LAQJjel80g4aWLldArBC9bAWBoxPCDLsQKoOicQMcOYkJ5r_2BybkPKBUNZDHbIOGndfK9rXnh8_kVjqWRcm1OvZiLACe7M2k9hGa6tJuW95VSgq_6LYFTbmszHf/s320/106.JPG" /></a>Big smiles<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9aLESyGMue7jH2I1gyItjQ7EZJrk2s7CPAJwGV_d8mysleCs8y9-WeLs9sUpv0hI3etKRaJXH4b3ZZCiUvRN-MRbRHPLwqPN1dRvvf8nyN-Q7F1eFP_dX4zRLZ4cSSeccEc7mA4fXRvRf/s1600-h/090.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423760342655034466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9aLESyGMue7jH2I1gyItjQ7EZJrk2s7CPAJwGV_d8mysleCs8y9-WeLs9sUpv0hI3etKRaJXH4b3ZZCiUvRN-MRbRHPLwqPN1dRvvf8nyN-Q7F1eFP_dX4zRLZ4cSSeccEc7mA4fXRvRf/s320/090.JPG" /></a>Totally oblivious to the bow on her head </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0zYnyNvySiVAzqLpKDPXv8cqqHC9XmgnvPWl6vJ5Twjjbcy-OEKiVMsokTuOeiZ5EYg-XCZAAP2Alr3BpNgV6s4pJmM3QgKKPVZ7NAuNqds_5JgnFN0xOTJlKwmHLbXV4y8qqbESm0vV7/s1600-h/095.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423760175049635826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0zYnyNvySiVAzqLpKDPXv8cqqHC9XmgnvPWl6vJ5Twjjbcy-OEKiVMsokTuOeiZ5EYg-XCZAAP2Alr3BpNgV6s4pJmM3QgKKPVZ7NAuNqds_5JgnFN0xOTJlKwmHLbXV4y8qqbESm0vV7/s320/095.JPG" /></a></div><div> Jaclyn's Christmas reindeer ears<br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4sP5iRK18lCBAYKljO5w8w5gmWwFHlT6CiqLy1hv3FzyWaHvSq4JcKBf46h9cGVsVD3jtho9_3rRAwnizk9IOZn_i2CxtV_4WbhweOyn2RF6RfpKqB-3fwMrFFNB3ibVwufeRdQMe0XBA/s1600-h/081.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423759970647222642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4sP5iRK18lCBAYKljO5w8w5gmWwFHlT6CiqLy1hv3FzyWaHvSq4JcKBf46h9cGVsVD3jtho9_3rRAwnizk9IOZn_i2CxtV_4WbhweOyn2RF6RfpKqB-3fwMrFFNB3ibVwufeRdQMe0XBA/s320/081.JPG" /></a></div><div>Jaclyn hamming it up like only she can</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiczEoM4D1c2ace1DrVJBUmK2G9K2HKC899ozz5X6Dui9v0qxIspDaYQKlVIPmx3P9oXkYG89rGF6d3isSrpEWgL5zkqxSxphOxieH-YGf_8xSzYhc_l90iVXqkLt1hq6Gx4AqnFRNV8klO/s1600-h/043.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423759813932884338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiczEoM4D1c2ace1DrVJBUmK2G9K2HKC899ozz5X6Dui9v0qxIspDaYQKlVIPmx3P9oXkYG89rGF6d3isSrpEWgL5zkqxSxphOxieH-YGf_8xSzYhc_l90iVXqkLt1hq6Gx4AqnFRNV8klO/s320/043.JPG" /></a>Santa baby<br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1NHxEFgHVI917TJJ95emAxc1574GiGb5vZ8_8R3SG73Gz3lTM63ibxuvhpJnsTrRB7Q7wWZ_6DFbf9eGLdJFJ2mcjhdRtpTUrQaXE_nxvov5OoGjw8G9ijvyvWaskQbYOVac7d8LBpjjM/s1600-h/052.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423759665992824098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1NHxEFgHVI917TJJ95emAxc1574GiGb5vZ8_8R3SG73Gz3lTM63ibxuvhpJnsTrRB7Q7wWZ_6DFbf9eGLdJFJ2mcjhdRtpTUrQaXE_nxvov5OoGjw8G9ijvyvWaskQbYOVac7d8LBpjjM/s320/052.JPG" /></a>The girls' first Christmas together</div></div></div>The Tolsma'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00479620787953366043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-565661510796357698.post-56203760975082082092009-11-12T14:49:00.001-08:002009-11-12T15:08:34.023-08:00October FunSeptember didn't bring to much over here with us. The first part of the month I was pretty much just getting used to having 2 kids instead of 1 and getting us all settled back at home after being up in Chilliwack for close to 6 weeks I think it was. I started daycare again about half way through the month and that has being going really good. Jaclyn loves having the kids here to play with again and it's nice that they entertain her while I'm doing things around the house and looking after Makayla.<br /><br />October has come and gone already too. I took the girls to the pumpkin patch one afternoon and they had a blast. It's definitely something I want to continue to do with them every year, it never gets old. I can hardly wait till Makayla's old enough to run around there and I can just let the 2 of them run wild. <br /><br />Jaclyn is now finally potty trained. It is such a huge relief and Jaclyn loves wearing her big girl panties everyday and it's a huge ordeal in the morning when she gets to pick out which pair she is going to wear that day. Makayla is growing like a weed too. I can't believe that she is going to be 3 months old aready tomorrow (Nov 13) time sure is flying by. She is on bottles completely now, talks, smiles and coos up a storm for us and she sleeps right through the night and has been for a few weeks now. I sure am blessed in that department ... the girls must know how cranky their Mom gets without much sleep .. lol<br /><br />Jaclyn turned 3 last Friday, I can't believe it!!!! She is no longer my baby girl and has turned into my big girl before my very eyes. It's so hard to believe that she is going to be starting preschool already next year. Seems like just yesterday I was in the hospital having her.<br /><br />Well that's about it for now and I promise to keep the blog updated more often :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOUKx5HVHiR8iZUzLfj95MfTH82fAcGUmCwdHw53jN-HT26i5HsDpyKjdKAQoOy3TnIXgf7Be6RXcJwFV0AMyrCg2sWJiN1WyhQQxZqHxyMVhsO5HBSjPin6oUYIkB95Bfto8a-QdarYc/s1600-h/4+wks.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

After being 3 days overdue Jim and I and everyone else thought that she was never going to show her pretty little face. She was born on Aug 13, 2009 at 8:10 am weighing in at 8lbs 5oz. Contractions started about 5:30am, Mom and I called Jim and headed to the hospital at about 7am and and 8:10am she was here. It all happened so fast that I did the whole thing naturally as there was no time to even consider giving me any drugs and poor Jim tried to get there as quickly as he could but ended up being about 10 minutes late. Man, people weren't kidding when they said your second one comes alot quicker than the first!!!! Makayla was born healthy as can be and other than some minor problems with me not clotting properly we both did very well and were able to go home the next morning. Jaclyn is a very proud big sister and is loving every minute of it. She is a big help when it comes to giving her a bottle, bath and changing Makayla and you can see the way that Makayla looks at Jaclyn that she already adores and looks up to her big sister!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVPdif-CGuDqCxgJ82RpXmNIAruSRrrhG7m5s0gbnmUE7ZwZ4TqROpNhuofipIUQ7v21HF-rooPHA3TA-jX7pkWoRRZTMRpowlcsflfqMUPXaWa7F7NxVT7pIL1726ybnGm5U5a8BzzAo/s1600-h/1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403339477507426850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVPdif-CGuDqCxgJ82RpXmNIAruSRrrhG7m5s0gbnmUE7ZwZ4TqROpNhuofipIUQ7v21HF-rooPHA3TA-jX7pkWoRRZTMRpowlcsflfqMUPXaWa7F7NxVT7pIL1726ybnGm5U5a8BzzAo/s320/1.JPG" /></a>Right when Jim got to the hospital<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVds1OmAADsfdvxPqDbEfKhgTNZeC7aImnWcptBx3kueCrxXkS_HrD5-RguS_Fw9_0BPYkv-XEXP8t9fJy3jm1L6vq2fCcgGKwuG1sPd-izPS0XxxyezyLReyVa9qpuUtpXcGe7kSPGmk/s1600-h/5.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403339284897100658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVds1OmAADsfdvxPqDbEfKhgTNZeC7aImnWcptBx3kueCrxXkS_HrD5-RguS_Fw9_0BPYkv-XEXP8t9fJy3jm1L6vq2fCcgGKwuG1sPd-izPS0XxxyezyLReyVa9qpuUtpXcGe7kSPGmk/s320/5.JPG" /></a> Sisters together for the first time</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Uxis5q54us1IIjFDg1E0vmCgUtdZyTMOXqlGWJ0PJV37NTTS6URNhMXTeBvmkGBkIWdwv9GPigdHMAZKHKG-Zz0JGL5ZWqPV9mSYLJJmKn0d5eHhq_P4Jt-4W4J0A5PnIo7HpSRg5Zk/s1600-h/21.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403339159444038738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Uxis5q54us1IIjFDg1E0vmCgUtdZyTMOXqlGWJ0PJV37NTTS6URNhMXTeBvmkGBkIWdwv9GPigdHMAZKHKG-Zz0JGL5ZWqPV9mSYLJJmKn0d5eHhq_P4Jt-4W4J0A5PnIo7HpSRg5Zk/s320/21.JPG" /></a>My beautiful family just as we were leaving the hospital </div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAr-wGRV9oOu9uosOX3LL5EQ3Y7uukPnM2M2jWpcZwBA-PyEAMTW4C9tZiYJzeHBOlMrTWw5U0rEkfBtMENW28ZOTzTg3iKPYHkbdpbbO7A-thyphenhyphenFL1jOR0m3nlCFym7vQOeyWFRg2JFxU/s1600-h/52.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403338941732169410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAr-wGRV9oOu9uosOX3LL5EQ3Y7uukPnM2M2jWpcZwBA-PyEAMTW4C9tZiYJzeHBOlMrTWw5U0rEkfBtMENW28ZOTzTg3iKPYHkbdpbbO7A-thyphenhyphenFL1jOR0m3nlCFym7vQOeyWFRg2JFxU/s320/52.JPG" /></a> Baby girl</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCWP7rsqwsax0aBVffIW70cgM6Ry1_p4QPBrrtok7B-VkuJ2zD_VAgE_nSA1hXCmDnbXdosygMRXQjLnlTAeMGP0rQC1V3BmjdDp_X6oAig51ku8G5mRY3xVTvU7Wj1_5WBJ0MoY_CMiI/s1600-h/74.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403338083721281954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCWP7rsqwsax0aBVffIW70cgM6Ry1_p4QPBrrtok7B-VkuJ2zD_VAgE_nSA1hXCmDnbXdosygMRXQjLnlTAeMGP0rQC1V3BmjdDp_X6oAig51ku8G5mRY3xVTvU7Wj1_5WBJ0MoY_CMiI/s320/74.JPG" /></a></div></div></div></div><br /><p>My two beauties :)</p>The Tolsma'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00479620787953366043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-565661510796357698.post-55994615329683867472009-11-12T13:28:00.000-08:002009-11-12T13:48:42.323-08:00Crescent Bar and HouseboatingJuly was a busy month full of vacations!! In the beginning of July we went to Crescent Bar in Eastern Washington with the Tolsma side. I had a blast playing in the sun and swimming with my cousins all day long for the week. While we were there we watched some fireworks one night, went to the waterslides one day, rented a boat and borrowed a jet ski and spent days just relaxing by the pool and on the beach. I had so much fun at the waterslides and even went down all the big ones by myself ... I'm definitely not scared of the water!!! I can't wait till vacation time comes around next year again!!!!

In the morning Mom and I went to the parade with a bunch of my cousins and I saw lots of cool tractors, horses, marching bands and other parade things. Afterwards we went for a walk in downtown Lynden where they had a bunch of stands set up and some games to play. We had lunch down there and just walked around and checked everything out. Then later on that afternoon/early evening Dad, Mom and I went to the carnival at the fairgrounds where I got to go on lots of rides and play carnival games. Finally, we went with Uncle Derek, Auntie Shelli and Austin to the demolition derby. It was really loud at times but I loved watching all the cars smash into each other. Austin and I cheered like crazy for the drivers. We even saw a car get on fire it was hit so many times and saw a truck do such a big burnout at the burnout show that is back tires burst into flames too ... it was really cool!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiirsDp7t6Gbz1i-Eszz7fjnkDi4N-d-JrEf9Iubopq89DLOk0s1rIECyuHn7R-eg_lakdjeSEigGPiIYzivNPkVmOgWFoOlXzB38PQ8JuLOusmOAxDHNc0QORCF2xUwH0mPoaJwvK6k6g/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346127772136097042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiirsDp7t6Gbz1i-Eszz7fjnkDi4N-d-JrEf9Iubopq89DLOk0s1rIECyuHn7R-eg_lakdjeSEigGPiIYzivNPkVmOgWFoOlXzB38PQ8JuLOusmOAxDHNc0QORCF2xUwH0mPoaJwvK6k6g/s320/006.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Going for a train ride downtown<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgssICzS24rPAohko6aYiRmNhZQAvIzVtnflg0sGEKena30V2o3NHqRMN19HO3xJAfbKfoZnklb-P9jbnUmj34qmDA_zf1VmS-qUtbn8xy3bYtoYJWOecF82nE98DKZ51kOhFVyOJqtx1s/s1600-h/008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346127691977001490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgssICzS24rPAohko6aYiRmNhZQAvIzVtnflg0sGEKena30V2o3NHqRMN19HO3xJAfbKfoZnklb-P9jbnUmj34qmDA_zf1VmS-qUtbn8xy3bYtoYJWOecF82nE98DKZ51kOhFVyOJqtx1s/s320/008.JPG" border="0" /></a> Nat, Landon, Shannon and me at an attempt of a group shot</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhndEl9VolGtZ3J4yKanKr7T_3bArb-4Tl0PwOqi3VdIHIBmyYKbjYPrQEHLSL05x0gLeemflB1-Cv-hVkfZZsSdn86chE0yp6h1VgT0mh5u-TyL4fIL-fOYyV3kNE0NWavcu5y-4eOTE8/s1600-h/013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346127595324065922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhndEl9VolGtZ3J4yKanKr7T_3bArb-4Tl0PwOqi3VdIHIBmyYKbjYPrQEHLSL05x0gLeemflB1-Cv-hVkfZZsSdn86chE0yp6h1VgT0mh5u-TyL4fIL-fOYyV3kNE0NWavcu5y-4eOTE8/s320/013.JPG" border="0" /></a>Milking a pretend cow ...

The tide was out really far so we spent a couple hours walking through all the sand and seaweed looking for treasures and digging for clams. Dad and I tried digging in a few spots but we never caught any live clams this time ... maybe next time we'll get lucky. I did collect lots of shells though and even got lucky and found a starfish!!! After my buckets were full of treasures we headed home where I helped Mom clean off my shells and my starfish. I really wanted to take my starfish in the house and play with it but Mom said we needed to leave them in the garage so I will get to look at him some more when I'm outside playing. I had a great day at the beach and can't wait to go back again soon!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrhq2TEuuNJXZTQLnbY7Vxc1lp09lvHkQr7Qtgn86mVORar6zYAwtWl0DVGX_mTGbSy04XzXtqvJ-WfTZ5ywYEfUMw1BOeRiRWcFE3DOYS0bIWkX5YHHfluTPGg-q82W7R1Dc9yv57JKg/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340238047713481890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrhq2TEuuNJXZTQLnbY7Vxc1lp09lvHkQr7Qtgn86mVORar6zYAwtWl0DVGX_mTGbSy04XzXtqvJ-WfTZ5ywYEfUMw1BOeRiRWcFE3DOYS0bIWkX5YHHfluTPGg-q82W7R1Dc9yv57JKg/s320/005.JPG" border="0" /></a>Checking out the seaweed ... eeww gross!!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWlt2MrzSzq4BxIxZio2V-Og3dZwG9s7-4ZaPEveL63dwam-dk_lSFle4fhbSyDQf2DhyhHnQ_cbKX0SCLEEBo13ZBlWmrrnf-_EsDBa0o0dj_OXGWFYUDa9JIJJwGFuJyAd6E8sQSw9c/s1600-h/007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340237624520555970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWlt2MrzSzq4BxIxZio2V-Og3dZwG9s7-4ZaPEveL63dwam-dk_lSFle4fhbSyDQf2DhyhHnQ_cbKX0SCLEEBo13ZBlWmrrnf-_EsDBa0o0dj_OXGWFYUDa9JIJJwGFuJyAd6E8sQSw9c/s320/007.JPG" border="0" /></a>Look at all this sand ... </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNM2GmS78csEPnprdJdDYbdRfi0heRWQRr-2WAP6NDJpaBoE5zkmpDaeSKGQwZ6CP_cdVT6q1WTn_ujxR8KJVfF82qaTzLVvf_d5n_nmzyfPDCKIyff3j87kfGZfFd8vQivxe3W-uIPYo/s1600-h/011.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340237518253306098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNM2GmS78csEPnprdJdDYbdRfi0heRWQRr-2WAP6NDJpaBoE5zkmpDaeSKGQwZ6CP_cdVT6q1WTn_ujxR8KJVfF82qaTzLVvf_d5n_nmzyfPDCKIyff3j87kfGZfFd8vQivxe3W-uIPYo/s320/011.JPG" border="0" /></a>Digging for clams with Dad </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqeZCd8-6G7A-S_spX-BYkIj14vjOBsc92iCPXb2mOS5kTXlTY2pMxe3syWO_6gQsiy69Vs6lkHz3lZBk3OBO4AxzkKtCaJPrvuXvAp6yKmAvLWdLIupQXDBoL3N74ycurIUm1hKBZrzQ/s1600-h/015.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340237442401080418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqeZCd8-6G7A-S_spX-BYkIj14vjOBsc92iCPXb2mOS5kTXlTY2pMxe3syWO_6gQsiy69Vs6lkHz3lZBk3OBO4AxzkKtCaJPrvuXvAp6yKmAvLWdLIupQXDBoL3N74ycurIUm1hKBZrzQ/s320/015.JPG" border="0" /></a>Check out my big seashell!! </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtf3wmks-9xd31m2u7XYNZEVuGLJUNY1xdc0ot4J8tzOQSJLtU3PTM2_cJC701fJx1QPNue27oFOlPODsul4uzNe3gw38HylCOOP4Y1sx-OcubAOQFVz5GoFMynsZinyEFHoIX2T6bMl4/s1600-h/022.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340237014264186274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtf3wmks-9xd31m2u7XYNZEVuGLJUNY1xdc0ot4J8tzOQSJLtU3PTM2_cJC701fJx1QPNue27oFOlPODsul4uzNe3gw38HylCOOP4Y1sx-OcubAOQFVz5GoFMynsZinyEFHoIX2T6bMl4/s320/022.JPG" border="0" /></a>The prized starfish </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoiR3_fIY8XUDEPnBqTRyK6PlKl26yjsMcj4_A03J3W7nhed1KHVNRoxVkuhId3knqp6TCtA9l469tVWuNo4LV0nPzdSLPkf-p-yQfSGdSmvRCDEvUbO5WBsRynG8oEpMkS6CXB4ymROE/s1600-h/023.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340236922285946962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoiR3_fIY8XUDEPnBqTRyK6PlKl26yjsMcj4_A03J3W7nhed1KHVNRoxVkuhId3knqp6TCtA9l469tVWuNo4LV0nPzdSLPkf-p-yQfSGdSmvRCDEvUbO5WBsRynG8oEpMkS6CXB4ymROE/s320/023.JPG" border="0" /></a> All my beach treasures!!</div></div></div></div></div>The Tolsma'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00479620787953366043noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-565661510796357698.post-43525050384782333532009-05-21T10:38:00.000-07:002009-05-21T10:51:30.898-07:00May RandomsWow, end of May already and summer is just around the corner, I can hardly wait!!! May has been a pretty slow month around here for Mom and Dad and me. We've been keeping it low key not really doing awhole lot of anything. A few new things though this month were I got a new pet fish, a male betta, and a trampoline .. which I all a "jumpoline". I named my fish Nemo and love watching him swim arounnd his fish bowl. As for my jumpoline, I can't get enough of it. I love going out there and jumping around it's all I want to do these days which is fine by Mom (as long as the weather is nice that is). Other than that there isn't much new over here, just waiting for my baby sister to come out of my Mom's tummy in a few months!!! Hopefully I will have a more exciting post for everyone next time ....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEIsseB-G6kdV-gdN0c9ExPcNH__xUQMfUlsTSvZEFBI-aKGW9w8H2ZDjadHUHRn-Lbw-sQvDDW3inpuDkmqAFj1QIQu3H2q7hbGwbzVLFCn9nDXCWZ3OUcPGq-Net14sV991MiNpIVPs/s1600-h/008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338334184564166098" style="DISPLAY: block;

We spent Easter in Chilliwack this year with Nana, Bapa, Uncle Kevin and Uncle Drew. I had a great visit with everyone. The easter bunny left me a nice easter basket filled with all sorts of goodies, it was great. Bapa, Mom and Dad took me to the hotel to see some baby chicks that had just hatched and we were hoping to see some hatch right in the incubator. I tried yelling at them saying "hurry up baby chicks!!" but they didn't seem to want to listen to me. I didn't get to see one hatch fully but did see a chick right after it was out of the egg plus lots of little fluffy ones that hatched earlier that morning. It was really neat, I loved it. It was all I could talk about for the rest of the day!!! We also went over to Auntie Heather's to visit with them and cousins .. Karen, Lisa, Liam, Cohen and Adria. Liam and I had an easter egg hunt and filled up our baskets full of candy and eggs then pigged out on all the candy afterwards ... it sure was delicious!!!<br />Well, I'm sure you have all heard already but just in case ....

I got to see the pictures of my new baby brother or sister and I can't wait for August. Mom should be finding out the first week of April what she is having ... I can hardly wait to see if it's a boy or a girl!!!<br />I have been working alot harder at potty training for Mom. On average at home I am telling her and going about 4 times a day on the potty. I did have 2 days where we weren't home all day and I went everytime on the potty while we were out ... I like to go more when I'm not at home cuz it doesn't take away from my playtime then. Mom is working with me so I tell her more often at home too ... definitely a huge improvement and big step forward so far though!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyf3jai5fZ51WQSZR0LQOSb_WthW2FjWkecUv2lazSK5svYPh5uwSF67TrryldNv-cdaF03JbbwMai75FgSxUVaJfk_Ba5K9bQ8dUyiurivH02P5pM0QMjMYUP_JFHxMykngNGnjUg48Q/s1600-h/18+weeks10.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314213551681375010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyf3jai5fZ51WQSZR0LQOSb_WthW2FjWkecUv2lazSK5svYPh5uwSF67TrryldNv-cdaF03JbbwMai75FgSxUVaJfk_Ba5K9bQ8dUyiurivH02P5pM0QMjMYUP_JFHxMykngNGnjUg48Q/s320/18+weeks10.JPG" border="0" /></a>Having a big sister talk to the baby<br /><br /><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib-2q9pz0JVkeXdDb7aQb77Du1qY2Amjhes05fJw4qaUXksPDXwpjp2UAWYIq3ixAd4oBl0aA9GTW4J33z1z28PODOn3fBAlfkzLnQHKztzthu9BN0-xtTxvuN-2dRTBHGW-Z2vreKCrA/s1600-h/18+weeks16.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314213497118760498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib-2q9pz0JVkeXdDb7aQb77Du1qY2Amjhes05fJw4qaUXksPDXwpjp2UAWYIq3ixAd4oBl0aA9GTW4J33z1z28PODOn3fBAlfkzLnQHKztzthu9BN0-xtTxvuN-2dRTBHGW-Z2vreKCrA/s320/18+weeks16.JPG" border="0" /></a>Giving my new brother or sister a big kiss goodnight<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXR1hVtCcx9D_nA2sOs6IwJgIBFFlOnVqv083IJQldSNktFedNjXGrheShnyFvoYS6aaIYwBLUAhhyzM9x_WPV4aWP-BxHyM4_RkTCdJ4VV2OF31yK-lVYJlaOx3sW7XHSKzSwl5nh-8k/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314213429481711954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXR1hVtCcx9D_nA2sOs6IwJgIBFFlOnVqv083IJQldSNktFedNjXGrheShnyFvoYS6aaIYwBLUAhhyzM9x_WPV4aWP-BxHyM4_RkTCdJ4VV2OF31yK-lVYJlaOx3sW7XHSKzSwl5nh-8k/s320/001.JPG" border="0" /></a>Passed right out<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAyrzE6CdSeTxPp7ra6ZF6HEd4rgFZZYM6frnqZl-W6sSPt6dmnKA_GqkiZSlzZGbbcujPzmdbycsMDiDiyOQXIgv48DuD5V2CsyuMKkNURUyLRGNHSzfNFJQgwGJjiMlBly0xBWe6KQQ/s1600-h/012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314213370335335250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAyrzE6CdSeTxPp7ra6ZF6HEd4rgFZZYM6frnqZl-W6sSPt6dmnKA_GqkiZSlzZGbbcujPzmdbycsMDiDiyOQXIgv48DuD5V2CsyuMKkNURUyLRGNHSzfNFJQgwGJjiMlBly0xBWe6KQQ/s320/012.JPG" border="0" /></a> Playing with Dora in the tub</div></div></div>The Tolsma'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00479620787953366043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-565661510796357698.post-16546928666354147632009-02-23T10:55:00.000-08:002009-02-23T11:08:53.658-08:00UpdateHi there, not much new going on over here in our neck of the woods but Mom and I thought we'd add some more pictures for everyone. Mom is now 16 weeks pregnant and getting big!! I love to rub her belly and say hi to the new baby whenever I can. We had Nan (who I now call Grandma) over for a sleepover the other night before taking her to the airport. I had a great visit with her and am looking forward to her spending a couple days with us when she gets home in a few months. I'm starting to get more involved and into telling Mom when I need to go sit on the potty and a couple of times I even went on the big girl potty. Mom is starting to put me in big girl panties to get me more motivated to potty train ... I guess we'll see if it works!! Well that's all for now .. talk to everybody soon!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDl-rXG5hcRsVMfavAhOHlYKZxHL6cUHAmuzEztth7uRSLSuzz-vFVK52hL3qMNrQW_0K3fvelLlOV8PlDAE5z8pCBi17cqu5oJQOrMM6uAeFFwKqkHLHVGpI3w5njxi7_5GVcWc_BefU/s1600-h/15+weeks3.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306069510010600690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDl-rXG5hcRsVMfavAhOHlYKZxHL6cUHAmuzEztth7uRSLSuzz-vFVK52hL3qMNrQW_0K3fvelLlOV8PlDAE5z8pCBi17cqu5oJQOrMM6uAeFFwKqkHLHVGpI3w5njxi7_5GVcWc_BefU/s320/15+weeks3.JPG" border="0" /></a>Mom at 15 weeks<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYTl9uoC3B54En_27OyA6khNZCnCrOR2KNDcDSh3SDXmSc2VBJd7Neaa-mn7zZ328aW17hs4vlH-aNhEVj5ba02LybA6wAmta4nJEoBuTSFaDAMtNC-N-p_6Jf_1Hjsu98T5ZG3mROLf8/s1600-h/15+weeks5.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306069416267929426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYTl9uoC3B54En_27OyA6khNZCnCrOR2KNDcDSh3SDXmSc2VBJd7Neaa-mn7zZ328aW17hs4vlH-aNhEVj5ba02LybA6wAmta4nJEoBuTSFaDAMtNC-N-p_6Jf_1Hjsu98T5ZG3mROLf8/s320/15+weeks5.JPG" border="0" /></a>Trying to feel the baby in there ... couple more weeks and it'll be able to hear me talking to him/her </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr0-OGV6PDpL5_hLCi20Ojoj7j3VhatJO6AbVxPYMVTPhZLVPiBYrqjNBduV-CDm9as0EXi3sw2v8-oL7h5R5LkFk-JI0FticMANCbHCN3zbSFD97mbTxG0lg2_SWTJBpOc1geIOKPrEk/s1600-h/15+weeks6.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306069331982016290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr0-OGV6PDpL5_hLCi20Ojoj7j3VhatJO6AbVxPYMVTPhZLVPiBYrqjNBduV-CDm9as0EXi3sw2v8-oL7h5R5LkFk-JI0FticMANCbHCN3zbSFD97mbTxG0lg2_SWTJBpOc1geIOKPrEk/s320/15+weeks6.JPG" border="0" /></a>Smile ... the proud soon to be big sister!! </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1OxncvJLtu9vobDfbwjZK369T0Hz8OIZ3kHVlnmi2oiACmfKNVnOClE26VZfVeLr_MNE8tqJpSIe57JgzEj0zRSKDSprl_uetXDEH5DrIuJ3iN4DeH-phIHrZKwM5TSH52_5MxE3IZBY/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306068827571028530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1OxncvJLtu9vobDfbwjZK369T0Hz8OIZ3kHVlnmi2oiACmfKNVnOClE26VZfVeLr_MNE8tqJpSIe57JgzEj0zRSKDSprl_uetXDEH5DrIuJ3iN4DeH-phIHrZKwM5TSH52_5MxE3IZBY/s320/001.JPG" border="0" /></a>Colouring with Nan/Grandma in bed one morning </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxT1179vCn9hX-918uWJQfnHL2HqwYnKALtrWci4QVC8oJuv-46-8U5AAPoQXE7Asp2I34X0OU5xqJD6KOorI3YT9y10bES47O54pNn-nFEpREoxvrprMT6IxpLUUmUnfPVQQxaoIti_U/s1600-h/002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306068652192355890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxT1179vCn9hX-918uWJQfnHL2HqwYnKALtrWci4QVC8oJuv-46-8U5AAPoQXE7Asp2I34X0OU5xqJD6KOorI3YT9y10bES47O54pNn-nFEpREoxvrprMT6IxpLUUmUnfPVQQxaoIti_U/s320/002.JPG" border="0" /></a> My new look ...

I had a great Christmas this year. It started off with an early Christmas a few days before with everyone on the Tolsma side with lots of presents and all my family!! Then we headed to Chilliwack on Christmas Eve to spend a couple days with Nana and Bapa Beldam. Uncle Kevin, Uncle Drew and Auntie Diane all came over for presents in the morning and then stayed for a very yummy turkey dinner that night. I got spoiled by everyone and had a great time!! We stayed in town for a couple days and did as much visiting as we could before heading back home. It was a great Christmas!!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ1B2Nmk82rb5HDz1LEXyTnEGb9YmE1Mdw2CULSWtp6Sd52YpXB5z-hv8KNwd5AWPQOleIKro_Q9qQXhxjmxxXQKqWuqmOPqPDRAxK9ClZ3hWEp7CYD6JVvebSgYfJ9FOfTLF_T5XUatQ/s1600-h/004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285980923563577026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ1B2Nmk82rb5HDz1LEXyTnEGb9YmE1Mdw2CULSWtp6Sd52YpXB5z-hv8KNwd5AWPQOleIKro_Q9qQXhxjmxxXQKqWuqmOPqPDRAxK9ClZ3hWEp7CYD6JVvebSgYfJ9FOfTLF_T5XUatQ/s320/004.JPG" border="0" /></a>Playing in the snow<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZrTLh_TOgbNibYb0cwHnATUxSgbj3p8EAZV0BhOrTHIT7MdByVlcC0noxsFJFHZ3L4qrmxXCcAo7r9zob20l8ubX6v7ndsOIS7W25ynGoynZ09aSy5c6TH5Oy6WxFf9I-Sek7Z2w70RI/s1600-h/014.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285980846079458562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZrTLh_TOgbNibYb0cwHnATUxSgbj3p8EAZV0BhOrTHIT7MdByVlcC0noxsFJFHZ3L4qrmxXCcAo7r9zob20l8ubX6v7ndsOIS7W25ynGoynZ09aSy5c6TH5Oy6WxFf9I-Sek7Z2w70RI/s320/014.JPG" border="0" /></a>Opening presents at Nana and Bapa Tolsma's </div><div> </div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf_rs9ixGyVQycUH95QrhJWe76D9LIdoLYTQvW3XQBpXmtkkhR47VSh6D66u9gqAuRVvqADvBC0Ppq9KZfGtMIznED2tWEPQP3XvO-FewIUT8GfasHS2vLGpNFMsPCHiVoMJWn1zrunRM/s1600-h/021.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285980776417511858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf_rs9ixGyVQycUH95QrhJWe76D9LIdoLYTQvW3XQBpXmtkkhR47VSh6D66u9gqAuRVvqADvBC0Ppq9KZfGtMIznED2tWEPQP3XvO-FewIUT8GfasHS2vLGpNFMsPCHiVoMJWn1zrunRM/s320/021.JPG" border="0" /></a>Mmm .. chocolate on Christmas morning ... breakfast of champions!!

On Saturday Mom and I put up our christmas tree. Yes, it wasn't even December 1st yet but we just couldn't wait. I helped Mom put on the decorations and make sure everything looked just right. Then on Sunday Mom and I went with Nana Beldam to the Envision christmas party. I had so much fun there. I did all sorts of crafts like make christmas tree decorations, christmas cards and decorating christmas cookies. There was also a clown there who sang for us and did a magic show. Lastly before we went home I got to sit with Santa Clause and tell him what I wanted for christmas. I was a little scared of him though and Mom had to sit up there with me. Finally, on Monday I had an appointment at Children's Hospital with my hernia. It was confirmed by the surgeon that I definitely need surgery. I still have to wait a bit though because there is a 6 month waiting list for that surgery. But atleast we know that it is going to get done for sure!!! On the way home we stopped at Jeff and Sarah's house and had a visit with Sarah and Isobel. I loved playing with Isobel, she is sooo cute. I gave her lots of hugs and kisses and had a great visit with her and Sarah while we were there.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvhxfB4hqR4GbZf1o0sEIftaYYlJ9FRGME7Dp2QJE64apm0fblkROd0DTkumJhHM0HqMhyphenhyphenz4YeOwo2BiSaWITuJ93RCkZaBpx_XtfHBFIn4qcDlWAsVHn8Y8k3iAA1KbLrf_aWwSjLeoo/s1600-h/012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276013576231925762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvhxfB4hqR4GbZf1o0sEIftaYYlJ9FRGME7Dp2QJE64apm0fblkROd0DTkumJhHM0HqMhyphenhyphenz4YeOwo2BiSaWITuJ93RCkZaBpx_XtfHBFIn4qcDlWAsVHn8Y8k3iAA1KbLrf_aWwSjLeoo/s320/012.JPG" border="0" /></a>Decorating the tree<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigMWfCmGadiD9KEvEh5zGlBQcs89f-RFqN7vOw6-PKW3qE-Qd778bY_UcGXkcj0TEgoESJSmCaAGLgCUllMIYjKqcj5Rz0ggm5tnCWCEw8iTchTeRzLtcobYflZEq43AB7Gt73LFFrhfw/s1600-h/016.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276013504896689282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigMWfCmGadiD9KEvEh5zGlBQcs89f-RFqN7vOw6-PKW3qE-Qd778bY_UcGXkcj0TEgoESJSmCaAGLgCUllMIYjKqcj5Rz0ggm5tnCWCEw8iTchTeRzLtcobYflZEq43AB7Gt73LFFrhfw/s320/016.JPG" border="0" /></a>All finished </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGFyLxV2LbGoRVyHQD3NyDFM44KNIMkfXgPJnzPBRcQlIjW9LrwvNJJJazBrr9Uq_u2-2Y3BqMelC1Z2ImoUm-c99lW69HZ9BB79Kpl6Pkhp2-D_VM7snuy1Roavq-D5r70XyGCAUAbK0/s1600-h/017.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276012839247706274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGFyLxV2LbGoRVyHQD3NyDFM44KNIMkfXgPJnzPBRcQlIjW9LrwvNJJJazBrr9Uq_u2-2Y3BqMelC1Z2ImoUm-c99lW69HZ9BB79Kpl6Pkhp2-D_VM7snuy1Roavq-D5r70XyGCAUAbK0/s320/017.JPG" border="0" /></a>Doing crafts with Nana </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiATy5SQsP1wP2qwcEivkczpQZjJfYCxGQLruXFzPJu3y-hgvk8513VDo6W4HPkJiDPitb2-WBq3hXzNKT2wdpAkl5mnJyBELo0S4R2NjlnjGZJ-IHENTLfzcu6hMPjvg9FtSDAbMfVO-M/s1600-h/026.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276012358287136482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiATy5SQsP1wP2qwcEivkczpQZjJfYCxGQLruXFzPJu3y-hgvk8513VDo6W4HPkJiDPitb2-WBq3hXzNKT2wdpAkl5mnJyBELo0S4R2NjlnjGZJ-IHENTLfzcu6hMPjvg9FtSDAbMfVO-M/s320/026.JPG" border="0" /></a>Having a visit with Santa </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2BLe6KOndgEiryDzCJi8TU4RfNC24Qizy5Oue4pX7aE7bjo0UR_WrRsKp7r2MKdBl8FxWxwosFWUZjEtcplY8T5RFpr2bPJCXPZyaueIpIZMMSNC8Gzz9yqTelewkdh5XsJsSKH8H8PA/s1600-h/007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276012166858519762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2BLe6KOndgEiryDzCJi8TU4RfNC24Qizy5Oue4pX7aE7bjo0UR_WrRsKp7r2MKdBl8FxWxwosFWUZjEtcplY8T5RFpr2bPJCXPZyaueIpIZMMSNC8Gzz9yqTelewkdh5XsJsSKH8H8PA/s320/007.JPG" border="0" /></a>Big kisses for Isobel </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHIBrdS8qTQwC7B2lKGN-lZ31qk_JMDS1v7iApDN8KuQtOanj5oxrkfhKlkq1yyxV3dqzzg48LbfOSf9t9p8LCaB6OmXIT-3KnHCFIw8wvr3QY_0VxrQ_msKmkzqqUYWQPeNd_O_49fw4/s1600-h/010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276012083174163970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHIBrdS8qTQwC7B2lKGN-lZ31qk_JMDS1v7iApDN8KuQtOanj5oxrkfhKlkq1yyxV3dqzzg48LbfOSf9t9p8LCaB6OmXIT-3KnHCFIw8wvr3QY_0VxrQ_msKmkzqqUYWQPeNd_O_49fw4/s320/010.JPG" border="0" /></a> Cheese!!</div></div></div></div></div>The Tolsma'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00479620787953366043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-565661510796357698.post-91927735864249504512008-11-14T10:17:00.001-08:002008-11-14T10:35:05.914-08:00Jaclyn turns 2!!!!Wow, believe it or not I just turned 2!!!!!!! My Mom says it seems like yesterday that she had me!!! For my birthday Mom and Dad had 2 birthday parties for me. One for the Tolsma side and one for the Beldam side and friends. On the Tolsma side I had a great time playing with all my cousins. My favourite part was the Dora pinata we had. Dad hung her up in the garage and all us kids got turns hitting her. I'm sure it was a traumatizing experience for all of us hitting Dora until we saw all the candy come pouring out. On the Beldam side I had a great time playing with Dylan and Ryder and showing off for all the adults that came out to visit. I had a great time at both of my parties and can't wait to do it all again next year!!!!!

Mom helped us all carve pumkins at the beginning of the week. I loved getting in there and digging out all the guts and mushing them around. My job was the guts and Mom did the carving. My pumpkin turned out great!!! For Halloween I was a cow. I was not to happy about putting on my costume ... despite usually loving to dress up ... but finally I gave in and just did it. Mom and Dad took me to a big carnival at our church where I got to play games and get candy. Then we went to this other church where they had probably 30 cars in the parking lot that were all decorated with a different theme and their trunks were filled with candy. We had to walk around to all the cars saying 'trick or treat' and they would give me candy. Man did I get a haul, I think Mom and Dad will have to help me eat it all. Finally we went to Nana and Bapa Tolsma's house and they gave me another big bag of candy .. it was a great night :o)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBwTEZwLGod7t5HVuDzPHNu8kNmxnzV5oXXgLfDbICveU3pQT6JUFpSCgJ3xrZnEUjChTas1UvAmZUvZElnMHDEB8xLI4ixjNdL58E15vOTN33t4LctYdbJYxYBrBnZJ9DtRWrY3J81iI/s1600-h/002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263779996417680786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBwTEZwLGod7t5HVuDzPHNu8kNmxnzV5oXXgLfDbICveU3pQT6JUFpSCgJ3xrZnEUjChTas1UvAmZUvZElnMHDEB8xLI4ixjNdL58E15vOTN33t4LctYdbJYxYBrBnZJ9DtRWrY3J81iI/s320/002.JPG" border="0" /></a>Carving pumpkins with the kids<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvVaMwtnO02vK4ZiCNWfx3c-9XL8vXAKVbowI5kiwwdyM15syIouUAnJlHON2-SQNh7RkiStLkcqVagY6afO-NG6DgMgv9SlHn7_ybK0NtOcxB-XCuiJI99plNgXX3v1HipnvNNnMilXw/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263779859530341938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvVaMwtnO02vK4ZiCNWfx3c-9XL8vXAKVbowI5kiwwdyM15syIouUAnJlHON2-SQNh7RkiStLkcqVagY6afO-NG6DgMgv9SlHn7_ybK0NtOcxB-XCuiJI99plNgXX3v1HipnvNNnMilXw/s320/006.JPG" border="0" /></a> Karsyn and I working together on one</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOlnY42nUIi9TQwtuHWL3klVU5bwUhyphenhyphenDLIiUwDtd7tIvrJxiYOnjXFtvATyMAyGMttENlCRttENcmI7ZAh0D6-SheQ6xrI5nV8eJPlfVpPJc25LGAKIB1nN7NYiuuHlz_LBVN-2ARdrA/s1600-h/008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263779744930264034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOlnY42nUIi9TQwtuHWL3klVU5bwUhyphenhyphenDLIiUwDtd7tIvrJxiYOnjXFtvATyMAyGMttENlCRttENcmI7ZAh0D6-SheQ6xrI5nV8eJPlfVpPJc25LGAKIB1nN7NYiuuHlz_LBVN-2ARdrA/s320/008.JPG" border="0" /></a>Gotta get right in there and get all the guts </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiquR1QxCa9WlOP5WtXEcq9tYsKiK-C5NgOkZkKh11X3gYYJkgHQoQSyf9SBX-ZckbZFdN5qCmAUKjaSeXwS4Nb4-zlvlZqp-RfUtBAVIvnSjvvIiDnUIzN8avSNF5l5eyVfQYy-zO0oOw/s1600-h/010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263779437328238114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiquR1QxCa9WlOP5WtXEcq9tYsKiK-C5NgOkZkKh11X3gYYJkgHQoQSyf9SBX-ZckbZFdN5qCmAUKjaSeXwS4Nb4-zlvlZqp-RfUtBAVIvnSjvvIiDnUIzN8avSNF5l5eyVfQYy-zO0oOw/s320/010.JPG" border="0" /></a>My pumpkin that I'm so proud of </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZnl1gsE_HMUTyS3T6I3GhlXer-hk6lKcqgfrycBz82LpzwREQxTwBlnoTXJnUUE-cVUNbDXrtapJOT2U1ApmQwdAqTGmUYUXc-rKzKS_uu-VaWTjnucHJAKXqM6SZksCIVeKb4U1xV2k/s1600-h/013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263779181242975762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZnl1gsE_HMUTyS3T6I3GhlXer-hk6lKcqgfrycBz82LpzwREQxTwBlnoTXJnUUE-cVUNbDXrtapJOT2U1ApmQwdAqTGmUYUXc-rKzKS_uu-VaWTjnucHJAKXqM6SZksCIVeKb4U1xV2k/s320/013.JPG" border="0" /></a>The only way I would let Mom take a picture of me dressed up was if I was on the potty so here you go it's all you get :o) </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNQGe-qvGtWu51TvKCJH_8-U0XLvIupZ64EJkhBCbapNF4podUDUrgSRI7GHGAbmVFZeRkdXG3CAo-7wzHAMfV3R7xbuz9juj94SiF-KAA2ND69gQgGTij_Qti7s2dHeiaIH48BuOU-Fs/s1600-h/015.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263779075741847122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNQGe-qvGtWu51TvKCJH_8-U0XLvIupZ64EJkhBCbapNF4podUDUrgSRI7GHGAbmVFZeRkdXG3CAo-7wzHAMfV3R7xbuz9juj94SiF-KAA2ND69gQgGTij_Qti7s2dHeiaIH48BuOU-Fs/s320/015.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div></div><br /><p>The candy haul!!!!</p>The Tolsma'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00479620787953366043noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-565661510796357698.post-15622076101026037112008-10-25T15:14:00.000-07:002008-10-25T15:33:13.422-07:00Stoney Ridge Pumpkin PatchToday Mom and Dad took me to the Stoney Ridge Pumpkin Patch. We had tons of fun!!!! It is one of the largest, if not the largest, pumpkin patch in Whatcom County. We got to go on a hay bale tractor ride to get to the pumpkin fields which we walked around in for awhile and checked out all the pumpkins. Then after we went through a big corn maze. It sure was muddy in there and lots of fun to stomp around in!!! At this farm they also have train rides which I took a ride on and had a tour all around the farm. They also had a big petting zoo area where I saw a donkey, some goats and sheep, some horses, ducks, turkeys, peacocks and even a cow (Mom loved that part!!)

Not much new to report over here. I've been keeping Mom and Dad busy chasing after me and I occupy most of my days by playing with my cousins Karysn and Kayden when Mom is watching them. Other than that we've been doing some visiting in Canada with family and some visiting at home with Dad's family. We now have a finished garage which Mom loves cuz now she can park her car in there and I have somewhere to store all my outside toys. I haven't decided what I'm going to be for Halloween yet, but it's either going to be a cow or a princess ... guess I better hurry up and decide!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwY3_i7NX66yldDuQtIOi7RkvLaB8R48W-LZXtbzEXPZENECzY09z191Se-TsPTbqbxVaasTrBwYsniAhAls602qUbYua2Q3ld_DxWSLDQmxR4DCptfZWD38PeugOVLdvzrkG9HvCg6co/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261216159579450146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwY3_i7NX66yldDuQtIOi7RkvLaB8R48W-LZXtbzEXPZENECzY09z191Se-TsPTbqbxVaasTrBwYsniAhAls602qUbYua2Q3ld_DxWSLDQmxR4DCptfZWD38PeugOVLdvzrkG9HvCg6co/s320/003.JPG" border="0" /></a>Playing with my bracelets and high heel shoes<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPso1Lthyphenhyphenr-JDiFnB347lR86Fi_J-DnEsuMLVVXlyUFfHcAIIJ0lJAorQVWMU9cwRk20Q0kZW3W0URhaVP6ipw5h6TGIMJ8oJ-emeb2gZPvA-80NjDvfobFQp_wmWXHz25jXWOmORws3o/s1600-h/004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261216082888068386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPso1Lthyphenhyphenr-JDiFnB347lR86Fi_J-DnEsuMLVVXlyUFfHcAIIJ0lJAorQVWMU9cwRk20Q0kZW3W0URhaVP6ipw5h6TGIMJ8oJ-emeb2gZPvA-80NjDvfobFQp_wmWXHz25jXWOmORws3o/s320/004.JPG" border="0" /></a> All dressed up in a princess dress that Karsyn let me borrow </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrygTGOOszFkRTSL8U2phySiDuuFnoh_YEf9saLlWusRfRspOuX97riWEdJc9V_xtPi822rwKQYiLvCYIDmKwRpKmkA4fggVTe4eYvUj5pCHmQYR_MO5cRKjZMU-omhYAYXHI3LM8svWk/s1600-h/007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261215972987634610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrygTGOOszFkRTSL8U2phySiDuuFnoh_YEf9saLlWusRfRspOuX97riWEdJc9V_xtPi822rwKQYiLvCYIDmKwRpKmkA4fggVTe4eYvUj5pCHmQYR_MO5cRKjZMU-omhYAYXHI3LM8svWk/s320/007.JPG" border="0" /></a>Going for a ride at the mall </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU-U0RS8SrELNzkyILqvbVhmMAFl2XaGDsBSiDrDIswqgSst5VgUFcuRVdkWV-uYMdFX-jY-8ByTe0oNou24wutLYUxLK9EFBkaSRTqbG3Z0cEhz3j1gnZMitOWRByFw9bgWTTVHvFFvo/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261215830739628114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU-U0RS8SrELNzkyILqvbVhmMAFl2XaGDsBSiDrDIswqgSst5VgUFcuRVdkWV-uYMdFX-jY-8ByTe0oNou24wutLYUxLK9EFBkaSRTqbG3Z0cEhz3j1gnZMitOWRByFw9bgWTTVHvFFvo/s320/009.JPG" border="0" /></a>Or maybe I'll go as a witch for Halloween?!?! </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2NfGXVzxnCI9TSF6b0_iAMAciyuPmGixjHf6BTaviSSgHlXc6MuiRaiUyEhyphenhyphenTh_FX7cCrHGqtkid4G4b923Ga2LJC4P9MqotT5rvqC9IuWZS_3rFSuULKEBvB5QG5MU72b2XR7cBBkKA/s1600-h/019.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261215686633404930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2NfGXVzxnCI9TSF6b0_iAMAciyuPmGixjHf6BTaviSSgHlXc6MuiRaiUyEhyphenhyphenTh_FX7cCrHGqtkid4G4b923Ga2LJC4P9MqotT5rvqC9IuWZS_3rFSuULKEBvB5QG5MU72b2XR7cBBkKA/s320/019.JPG" border="0" /></a> Playing around in Dad's leaf piles</div></div></div></div>The Tolsma'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00479620787953366043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-565661510796357698.post-12165628868134944212008-09-24T11:03:00.000-07:002008-09-24T11:18:28.609-07:00Dora, Dora, DoraThe Dora obsession continues and everywhere we look around the house there is something Dora lying around!!!! I got an new Dora toddler bed and I am now officially out of my crib. I love sleeping in my Dora big girl bed, I stay in it all night long and only get out during naps to grab some books but I climb back into bed with them and eventually fall asleep while reading to myself. My mom says I am officially a big girl now that I'm out of my crib and I can't wait to get it out of my room for good ... next is the whole potty training thing Mom keeps talking to me about I guess!!!<br /><br />Mom has now started daycare and I love having Karsyn and Kayden over to play 3 days a week with me. We run around the house, colour and play with Harley outside all day long. It is tons of fun!!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqbQ0OfL222fIXzDUfQ52RYVaqLgsKGGSUDmvlq4337_iXRZ9HQABn5pi-EWp-HurEeQC9toujAYew0KJgL-LvozafMKD9Bno38EsSsxOJ3RPt_77SbV3Tnx72o94UN9tVi4sUGPFRozs/s1600-h/010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249651123511597122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqbQ0OfL222fIXzDUfQ52RYVaqLgsKGGSUDmvlq4337_iXRZ9HQABn5pi-EWp-HurEeQC9toujAYew0KJgL-LvozafMKD9Bno38EsSsxOJ3RPt_77SbV3Tnx72o94UN9tVi4sUGPFRozs/s320/010.JPG" border="0" /></a> Concentrating so hard while drawing/colouring<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFYbri5kud1Vmk0JblRZ_3ff8WKoBPT6AtkSO2O_ZMnRplQWNGJVgBlWpVoo2ZGbkARWJooAMINkqk55VmCrsY3IXs32ObWPuMhHfZ5u2xPf3ZQqrXngqz8SdglB1iW0IQLogtOZAgUFs/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249651044266852226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFYbri5kud1Vmk0JblRZ_3ff8WKoBPT6AtkSO2O_ZMnRplQWNGJVgBlWpVoo2ZGbkARWJooAMINkqk55VmCrsY3IXs32ObWPuMhHfZ5u2xPf3ZQqrXngqz8SdglB1iW0IQLogtOZAgUFs/s320/009.JPG" border="0" /></a> Cheese!!</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCLgtIdjEWWW1uYT9XiNrF23ZXw8gLARrWtS9zvgyiM_KobbToubIFffV0vjSDShZ-T7uj1Knyy53icsgCglMXLskHB4UlPrTwp_DkOjEaZZmxzqgmsMNEZdxtdR-Ipykmno5AvbkLBkU/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249650631762224242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCLgtIdjEWWW1uYT9XiNrF23ZXw8gLARrWtS9zvgyiM_KobbToubIFffV0vjSDShZ-T7uj1Knyy53icsgCglMXLskHB4UlPrTwp_DkOjEaZZmxzqgmsMNEZdxtdR-Ipykmno5AvbkLBkU/s320/003.JPG" border="0" /></a> My very own Dora table and chairs</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnMtsbuZ4zvRNu8OryjIn-hdlUzFEsqMTbV4s-poquYvi2myKujWpzpzYfrZkeBXZLaNPwe7rJx_DkairnKduZ2gXIm2CS_WUnKJN__xemwXZPFDgCuNSxTGWpb1ngQ-GBRkaVLYd5N00/s1600-h/004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249650462542599922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnMtsbuZ4zvRNu8OryjIn-hdlUzFEsqMTbV4s-poquYvi2myKujWpzpzYfrZkeBXZLaNPwe7rJx_DkairnKduZ2gXIm2CS_WUnKJN__xemwXZPFDgCuNSxTGWpb1ngQ-GBRkaVLYd5N00/s320/004.JPG" border="0" /></a>My new Dora bed </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaDSuFAobMF7QYOoswrbhGSHLZA92G9TGVK_AN-7nf5QKitcsI692ywhIV9Cj55TAOBa0qZPwPDVzdguOWfs6JeCZ3Zf7RdaELUZrTNNmKhBTp1-j-tnnYGzCc2ZjZoCC3Ps7Fm2yH0DE/s1600-h/007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249650360768859298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaDSuFAobMF7QYOoswrbhGSHLZA92G9TGVK_AN-7nf5QKitcsI692ywhIV9Cj55TAOBa0qZPwPDVzdguOWfs6JeCZ3Zf7RdaELUZrTNNmKhBTp1-j-tnnYGzCc2ZjZoCC3Ps7Fm2yH0DE/s320/007.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>Getting up from a nap</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHwK54QLri4fnvRUL8Zn-SHiTJOf37OEOArGVShDgp1uvu7sPmcsL_CyOnn1eFKLP7yTn86nUvruGX8V3W2i4lSwPioSaLwunfBVyef1RKItEqdPMw-jqDTJQr6Z-8tMnBy0cdnAVwnHQ/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249650261201117714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHwK54QLri4fnvRUL8Zn-SHiTJOf37OEOArGVShDgp1uvu7sPmcsL_CyOnn1eFKLP7yTn86nUvruGX8V3W2i4lSwPioSaLwunfBVyef1RKItEqdPMw-jqDTJQr6Z-8tMnBy0cdnAVwnHQ/s320/005.JPG" border="0" /></a> Deep in conversation with Dora, telling her how it's gonna be .... </div></div></div></div></div>The Tolsma'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00479620787953366043noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-565661510796357698.post-88082215083952237682008-09-02T14:12:00.000-07:002008-09-02T14:23:22.919-07:00Summer is coming to an endWell summer is quickly coming to an end already. For the Labor Day long weekend we went up to Birch Bay with Grandma and Grandpa Tolsma. They were staying at a resort there and we went up on Saturday night and stayed the night there and then spent all Sunday afternoon there with them and my uncles, aunts and cousins. We all did lots of swimming and hot tubing. By the end of it all I was jumping into the deep end of the pool almost by myself. I sure did have a great weekend with everyone!!!! <br />Mom starts her daycare this week (looking after 2 of my second cousins who are 4 and 2) I can hardly wait to have kids around the house to play with all the time!!<br /><br />Here are some recent pictures of me playing around the house:<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL0shL9a8cqfpWK_4mI7GUYd9xN-py_g5Zwva1Tx2dBKbeHf9Rg2Ekdxig8WsA2GneneT1XSccMClwPHeGfqbLnCmnN211x9Gj1RVjTvpFmfXCu3VLFebG_Au4XJTCVQKpk5jwluCRi7g/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241535961058996642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL0shL9a8cqfpWK_4mI7GUYd9xN-py_g5Zwva1Tx2dBKbeHf9Rg2Ekdxig8WsA2GneneT1XSccMClwPHeGfqbLnCmnN211x9Gj1RVjTvpFmfXCu3VLFebG_Au4XJTCVQKpk5jwluCRi7g/s320/003.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />'If Harley can go in here, why can't I?!?!'<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxqJOap8JZ3g-MwjUVQk6PXUFIKGJvyHbXWrjipRZjvJcre9P-pJMySO5apgD8RtaIlqAHFJH2k7YSovL23J33F5I2Tyva3wlNb3galZm-N5KOQZ586dKUeVrIFWMPyTynwM0faKQbzL8/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241535884890708610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxqJOap8JZ3g-MwjUVQk6PXUFIKGJvyHbXWrjipRZjvJcre9P-pJMySO5apgD8RtaIlqAHFJH2k7YSovL23J33F5I2Tyva3wlNb3galZm-N5KOQZ586dKUeVrIFWMPyTynwM0faKQbzL8/s320/006.JPG" border="0" /></a>Playing around in the rain </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibKX7MHvAehWQ1dNxCG3UuVEu-uN6hOX2oKwEmrSTnG_M3dsbo2Hi90Kclkb4y1UKLrQTilTfVJC1EtcyayeRFxLaroceAf212skcQ-GJ0JHCwW0CEFo1JgwNdJxwp8JzACO40XL-0XpE/s1600-h/009+(2).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241535787615567906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibKX7MHvAehWQ1dNxCG3UuVEu-uN6hOX2oKwEmrSTnG_M3dsbo2Hi90Kclkb4y1UKLrQTilTfVJC1EtcyayeRFxLaroceAf212skcQ-GJ0JHCwW0CEFo1JgwNdJxwp8JzACO40XL-0XpE/s320/009+(2).JPG" border="0" /></a>Collecting water in my bucket from the drain pipe </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKqvfBc8Zy_zukQpBMWiaow6msqwMJEdjujCTyApT47koEk1y4vk8PjDcM03WmM9D8C-a6eyXDEehCoGunjJFABMy5alnvtG7w73nkmHQ-1jfdrfIBKVG41p3S52SIb3wRnYeBHdP98DQ/s1600-h/010+(2).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241535706120320034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKqvfBc8Zy_zukQpBMWiaow6msqwMJEdjujCTyApT47koEk1y4vk8PjDcM03WmM9D8C-a6eyXDEehCoGunjJFABMy5alnvtG7w73nkmHQ-1jfdrfIBKVG41p3S52SIb3wRnYeBHdP98DQ/s320/010+(2).JPG" border="0" /></a>Apparently Harley needed a shower!!! </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOmIFEdekaLBmVTEA4zjLxPZgsSXftcGssdB1BcrPb9QjWKJcTvn1EenDHxw5vABgBb4u6Wc_miV7coPe8I-B99kUC7d6A6q_AB7IlxdtwZ4qbQZmvnT_EnmCCUdPv3HTDWy9EJbduUfc/s1600-h/020+(2).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241535601971971314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOmIFEdekaLBmVTEA4zjLxPZgsSXftcGssdB1BcrPb9QjWKJcTvn1EenDHxw5vABgBb4u6Wc_miV7coPe8I-B99kUC7d6A6q_AB7IlxdtwZ4qbQZmvnT_EnmCCUdPv3HTDWy9EJbduUfc/s320/020+(2).JPG" border="0" /></a> Mom and I relaxing on the couch together</div></div></div></div>The Tolsma'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00479620787953366043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-565661510796357698.post-82655232096077999962008-08-22T12:42:00.000-07:002008-08-22T12:53:28.217-07:00My new puppy HarleyThe other night Dad bought me a new puppy!!! He is a beagle and we named him Harley. He is 7 weeks old today and is soo tiny and cute. I love my new puppy!!! Mom and I take him for walks and outside in the yard to run around alot during the day. It's my job to hold his leash when we go for walks and I only let go some of the times. We bought him lots of dog toys and right now I'm trying to teach him to fetch his ball ... he doesn't quite get it yet but we're getting there .....

Dad had to stay home and work which made me sad but I was glad that atleast Mom and I were able to go with everyone. The first couple of days we had pretty crummy weather but after that it was super hot for the rest of the week. I spent alot of time swimming in the lake and playing with my sand toys on the beach. I also got really brave in the hottub thanks to Auntie Jen. She taught me how to jump in and go completely under the water. I loved dunking my head and love to swim. Mom says I'm like a little fish in the water. It sure was great to see all my Beldam family as I don't get to see most of them very much other than houseboating. I sure hope we are able to go again next year!!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJXHtvoYR4FjUPc_tf_LLncy-98UGg1k0doC_hkaLlcOwWSIAsqLaZRWKzpS1DkijrdqGgiPeGbaNXLaXWE49HIOArTeKTLPKWrQ4r5SJLmf2aOggIPYBMyctfbqVXoxGFMhCmDyRmJio/s1600-h/048.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237419371973266690" style="DISPLAY: block;

We had our interview and got approved to move down with Dad so we are all very happy about being legal etc. It was my very first airplane ride going to Montreal and I did very good while on the plane (way better than Mom and Dad thought I would) I really enjoyed looking out the windows during take-off and the landing and can't wait to go on another plane ride again. While we were Montreal we met a very nice couple who were also moving to the States and we spent the day with them and their daughter sightseeing around Old Town Montreal. It was a really neat place to visit and I'm so glad Mom and Dad took me around to see all the different buildings etc. We also went on a horse and buggy tour around Old Town and learnt lots of neat things about the city's history.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqzn-2z-4nbWYDtTQdHgyW3bkeWUD9uz_rkldCjTLZhdr6OPUr8RRmylG5gwWQQIENwOHu0c_xVU6SuHFWON-yEdzkJKaN5e-cj3BUbpwA0aSBYbewE7FC5AamnVMYAxrqGxBSIlL_CzI/s1600-h/011.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237415215209556274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqzn-2z-4nbWYDtTQdHgyW3bkeWUD9uz_rkldCjTLZhdr6OPUr8RRmylG5gwWQQIENwOHu0c_xVU6SuHFWON-yEdzkJKaN5e-cj3BUbpwA0aSBYbewE7FC5AamnVMYAxrqGxBSIlL_CzI/s320/011.JPG" border="0" /></a>In front of City Hall<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiC6MFESWp0GTvVmlm-a3p8IWFyHvMEnzDxFj7bhN9yPB70oHiVoTLAOWVdA3FJ2chwr-wJK7sSS-AjiZEte8hKkThijq0De4I86f7jFh6bjMKuk19ZyuRFlqgq-z2ggs7RHVK7n88Zis/s1600-h/018.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237415052415346002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiC6MFESWp0GTvVmlm-a3p8IWFyHvMEnzDxFj7bhN9yPB70oHiVoTLAOWVdA3FJ2chwr-wJK7sSS-AjiZEte8hKkThijq0De4I86f7jFh6bjMKuk19ZyuRFlqgq-z2ggs7RHVK7n88Zis/s320/018.JPG" border="0" /></a> Petting our horse Jack that took us on our tour</div><div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfY_Qn6N3Yi74R3PYE3Zq9rQNoFjIXFD7BKQMaWZ9nElPqO96xejwzabP18vKkP07a-ybRbnsAekWbkItiNCHkx4THwns_9QoSG5s9IOOldMhMyyTwGdagIWfgFbi5mPI6ch91w67j1i0/s1600-h/019.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237414970842936050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfY_Qn6N3Yi74R3PYE3Zq9rQNoFjIXFD7BKQMaWZ9nElPqO96xejwzabP18vKkP07a-ybRbnsAekWbkItiNCHkx4THwns_9QoSG5s9IOOldMhMyyTwGdagIWfgFbi5mPI6ch91w67j1i0/s320/019.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>A nice family picture of us while on the tour</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitQrlQUrvldBh45m6kxGeH9VCFk87ow6tlwvhnCD7Lzwas1oJ0qicI3zLoCai_SY-zuBeK5ulLxRQwSrEVyBWfR0igGq4H4KMqhdeYpwvl2BWZuwUuEwso4od012iyNQ58LQvQErB7JOU/s1600-h/038.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237414814302999970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitQrlQUrvldBh45m6kxGeH9VCFk87ow6tlwvhnCD7Lzwas1oJ0qicI3zLoCai_SY-zuBeK5ulLxRQwSrEVyBWfR0igGq4H4KMqhdeYpwvl2BWZuwUuEwso4od012iyNQ58LQvQErB7JOU/s320/038.JPG" border="0" /></a> Group shot with the couple we met</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzFKR3O6jzSH1f_0Hw4FZEd5WbNfQYyXs_2Rz7LOAr0PY0OWw1P7ZiUVVv7UV55GYfElUFJn54Bf1aW5d3LnRuL7xmxH6etahyphenhyphenlRyiRd6_u12lrgRBdsISjaqFigEXoqGhfCn8fgK_9Dc/s1600-h/045.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237414493815288930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzFKR3O6jzSH1f_0Hw4FZEd5WbNfQYyXs_2Rz7LOAr0PY0OWw1P7ZiUVVv7UV55GYfElUFJn54Bf1aW5d3LnRuL7xmxH6etahyphenhyphenlRyiRd6_u12lrgRBdsISjaqFigEXoqGhfCn8fgK_9Dc/s320/045.JPG" border="0" /></a>My morning face </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh49kf3NSBPFobmfIEu4jCzrrBxz_TjjD8RYHOIJre0pCNB520QHSknOtVVHZPC1bNs2nd7u2zFIoXht549tHOva96G1AOlLHLIgt2A3dQwcbrdi0mvYIzGpelVOmgarTEglfCPF6TWKcU/s1600-h/046.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237414341180546674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh49kf3NSBPFobmfIEu4jCzrrBxz_TjjD8RYHOIJre0pCNB520QHSknOtVVHZPC1bNs2nd7u2zFIoXht549tHOva96G1AOlLHLIgt2A3dQwcbrdi0mvYIzGpelVOmgarTEglfCPF6TWKcU/s320/046.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div></div><br /><p>All tuckered out after shopping while waiting to go to the airport</p>The Tolsma'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00479620787953366043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-565661510796357698.post-21108258388869905142008-07-07T14:35:00.001-07:002008-12-09T03:53:08.725-08:004th of JulyWell I just had my first 4th of July since moving to the States. We had tons of fun. Grandma Beldam came down for a few days to spend the long weekend with us. During the day on the 4th we went to a park in Bellingham called Cornwall Park. I played on the slides and swings. Then we went for a big walk on some trails through the woods and to cool off I decided to run through the sprinklers in the little water park they have there. I was soaking wet ... good thing there was a blanket in the car to wrap up in after cuz I had no towel or dry clothes with me ... it was all worth it though!!! Then that night we went to Auntie Becca's house with Dad's family and had a big bbq. I even went tubing for the first time. I only lasted about 30 seconds before Dad and I flipped off the tube and after that I was done and much happier just sitting in the boat watching everyone else go. Later when it got dark we went to Ryan Stiles' house (actor from Whose Line is it Anyways and the Drew Carey Show) to watch fireworks. They were amazing and I clapped and cheered as loud as I could!!!! Mom said they put Canada's fireworks to shame .. hahaha<br />Finally, on a very happy note, Mom and I got our interview for immigrations!!! It is set for August 4th in Montreal. Less than a month and we will finally be legal ... I can hardly wait!!!!! Plus I get to visit Montreal which is an added bonus :o)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3B2juYBNCHxZjox6MsNbO8ye9Q_MnjqsQwI6Ayl_ZBFJfxi-akUZU8pjUN4E0rjRcrjx6pgww5O1dKXVfM__bQXTGd_QAEleV4mtPIBTwdwMogBb3Cc_b-kKL5wi038opWd6Z47YUfNU/s1600-h/004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220393002325093666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3B2juYBNCHxZjox6MsNbO8ye9Q_MnjqsQwI6Ayl_ZBFJfxi-akUZU8pjUN4E0rjRcrjx6pgww5O1dKXVfM__bQXTGd_QAEleV4mtPIBTwdwMogBb3Cc_b-kKL5wi038opWd6Z47YUfNU/s320/004.JPG" border="0" /></a>The big twisty slide<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU41Cxu89thFWrlheHxz1AFE9uKkhHetJzuM16mYyv_Gf8Cr96tAXl6My8uSDVgH2Ja0FtO_ts1WTOAoorC7MQ0beikulslGXPwThSmheR5I3zMa427jQ_Nkq7ahSRnPejvYYTanSs5uc/s1600-h/008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220390761201337458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU41Cxu89thFWrlheHxz1AFE9uKkhHetJzuM16mYyv_Gf8Cr96tAXl6My8uSDVgH2Ja0FtO_ts1WTOAoorC7MQ0beikulslGXPwThSmheR5I3zMa427jQ_Nkq7ahSRnPejvYYTanSs5uc/s320/008.JPG" border="0" /></a> Checking out the stream below the bridge<br /><br /><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkppCej_gKPIbHFzwocB56tjjL4HbfgLcft9yAxhPWN5e4F_Zli9IbF7al5OjlDpCuCnMOrMNWmwRaS3B6HaNxeC_o4wl0qsiaEsx_9ZDyf0_IoIfYQXbMhSSFDwwBU1nX3nkkyOQlefs/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220390458251045810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkppCej_gKPIbHFzwocB56tjjL4HbfgLcft9yAxhPWN5e4F_Zli9IbF7al5OjlDpCuCnMOrMNWmwRaS3B6HaNxeC_o4wl0qsiaEsx_9ZDyf0_IoIfYQXbMhSSFDwwBU1nX3nkkyOQlefs/s320/009.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>Following Dad through the woods </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUeqAtOA2n9m233ymTn8x4PKMY_lSBuMtUbgmP46Tdp_znPk86eN41dEJmCKRy20pyF9XxF6-1vm5f2FpNZezaS_5BY_-2gsOtGBPhDY7YW_AjU2bsg_nMAwkMLRd06q_W1WW9KuMA1As/s1600-h/010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220390359571161538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUeqAtOA2n9m233ymTn8x4PKMY_lSBuMtUbgmP46Tdp_znPk86eN41dEJmCKRy20pyF9XxF6-1vm5f2FpNZezaS_5BY_-2gsOtGBPhDY7YW_AjU2bsg_nMAwkMLRd06q_W1WW9KuMA1As/s320/010.JPG" border="0" /></a> Still walking around ... it sure was a long walk<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeXCxRBIQ-BkbD3AOstSZxbVwZCZAW7SNk0dVSXBOmWtSazuiDs4yRVSTJSiebsCQ7f8rBlvcjZ94mm_AmVWCEp1Jb-I0WGQ9lRNEQgUEqNLenCXoQWbFKr7127QRzM4lxjPU0SvLYJhU/s1600-h/012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220390237419268258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeXCxRBIQ-BkbD3AOstSZxbVwZCZAW7SNk0dVSXBOmWtSazuiDs4yRVSTJSiebsCQ7f8rBlvcjZ94mm_AmVWCEp1Jb-I0WGQ9lRNEQgUEqNLenCXoQWbFKr7127QRzM4lxjPU0SvLYJhU/s320/012.JPG" border="0" /></a> Getting dipped in the stream/river<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5USCWhupsn6k1QHKj3rAHXNjlp9GU0Un7UIquWo80E74mobmnEuowjM0WS9wxlgdU7h-zX-hX7typhSwPQ2OMU7vCspSOvUNjmUWZvW-8wizpJDh4zuol6KKAE-RcEm4dopoMg3BHc7M/s1600-h/016.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220390166782240642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5USCWhupsn6k1QHKj3rAHXNjlp9GU0Un7UIquWo80E74mobmnEuowjM0WS9wxlgdU7h-zX-hX7typhSwPQ2OMU7vCspSOvUNjmUWZvW-8wizpJDh4zuol6KKAE-RcEm4dopoMg3BHc7M/s320/016.JPG" border="0" /></a> Running through the water park<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWTsc9A2MtFx-A7P1AFQssO-3IEyqLusiuTnC8szdXg24IUfQLwcLHvszh6z7KGMsRAyBNLObu1wxoqnnTd-wOdfp_8NBda6Fl61c-3mu-O2FayLFsrmwhWh-ZnRJvmESa1BSTy7iDQn0/s1600-h/017.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220390045469080674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWTsc9A2MtFx-A7P1AFQssO-3IEyqLusiuTnC8szdXg24IUfQLwcLHvszh6z7KGMsRAyBNLObu1wxoqnnTd-wOdfp_8NBda6Fl61c-3mu-O2FayLFsrmwhWh-ZnRJvmESa1BSTy7iDQn0/s320/017.JPG" border="0" /></a> Getting right in there ...
