So Huntly decided today to know how to climb stairs. I was watching ellen and I went over to the stairs cuz I couldn't see him and he was up like 5 steps! He is growing up way too fast. So I guess I have to put up the gate now lol He has less than 2 months till he turns 1 and Im sure he will be walking by then. I weighed him yesterday and he weighs 24 lbs now. So big. when london turned 1 she was probably only 20 lbs and he isn't even 1 yet!

Grande Prairie Trip

Well it's been a fun week with my family. We got to go to Grande Prairie and stay at Corey and Mandy's house. It was a long drive but definitely worth it! I think the highlight of it all was meeting my amazing new little nephew Stratten. He is so adorable and sweet! I loved getting to hold him and cuddle with him! LOVE LOVE LOVE him!

We left Cardston on Wednesday evening and went to Edmonton. We stayed in this cheap motel and London was so excited. She thought it was the coolest thing. It was so cute. She turned the tv right on and explored while watching max and Ruby. She had a great time.


London was so excited to see Sterling and Piper. She always loves seeing her cousins. Her and Piper had so much fun together. The first morning we were up there Jeff got to go hunting with the guys. It sounded like they had a good time. Jeff got some disgusting video coverage of them gutting a moose. And apparently a very large elk charged at Jeff.. who was un-armed lol.. funny but not. Anyways later that day we all went out and did some skeet shooting. So fun.. I haven't shot a gun in a really long time though so the first few shots I took were a little shocking for me. Every time I pulled the trigger I would close my eyes bracing for the shot. lol But after a little practice I finally got one!!! I was probably the most excited out of anyone. I was like " I GOT IT, wait a sec did I really get that.. wow!"

The rest of the trip was great too. I got to go to a Christmas show at a green house. It was pretty sweet. They had so many trees set up with decorations and all sorts of other cool stuff. We also had a Guy Fawkes Day Bonfire at my uncle Bruce and Aunt Sharons house. It was fun getting together with Tina and Lincoln and their kids, grandpa, Bruce, Sharon, and all my family. After the Bonfire we went to this yogurt place called Menchies...can I just say DELICIOUS!!! It's a frozen yogurt place. It was amazing and now me and Jeff cant stop craving it! pretty sure I'd go there everyday if I could. Jeff too.

Sunday was Strattens baby blessing. He looked soooooo adorable. He had the cutest little outfit on and he is just so little and sweet. I'm glad we were able to be there for that!

Halloween 2011

So the kids looked so cute for Halloween yesterday! Huntly was dressed up as a monkey ( London's costume from when she was around that age) and London dressed up as a pirate. They were so adorable. London was so excited to go trick or treating. It was pretty cold and windy out so we had to throw a few layers on under her costume but luckily she still looked amazing. She was so funny acting like a pirate and getting into character. we didn't go to too many houses but she had a great time.

~A Funny Story~

Yesterday London was down stairs coloring for a while. I came down and noticed her crayons were gone and asked her where they were and she says, " They're in Carters juice hole."

I was so confused.. I wasn't even certain that she said what I thought she said and so I looked around a bit and noticed the crayons in the cup holder on the couch.. like she said they were in the juice hole.

It's funny how kids see things and make up new names for them.

Huntly John Redford

Well after 8 and a half months of waiting, baby Huntly is finally here!

On December 29th at 7 am, Jeff and I headed to the Hospital here in Lethbridge to prepare for our C section that would happen later that morning. We were taken into a room in the Labor and Delivery part of the hospital where I got into my very attractive hospital gown and compression socks (which the nurse informed me I put on backwards..so I had to flip them around lol). We waited a little while and then a nurse finally told us she was going to take us to my private room where I would be staying after my C section.

Around 10:30 am I was wheeled in my bed down to Pre Op where I waited for about a half hour while someone went through all my information with me for the millionth time. The anesthesiologist came and explained to me what was going to happen and soon after I was wheeled into the O.R. The whole process went quickly . There was a sheet up between me and where the surgery was happening so I couldnt see our baby when he was pulled out but the moment I heard his first cry .. well I cried. Before we knew it Jeff and I were looking at our wonderful little baby boy. He is so Beautiful and we are so happy and grateful to have him in our lives.

We named him Huntly John Redford. He weighed 7 lb 12 oz. He was 20 inches long and he was born at 11:46 am.

Since that morning we have Enjoyed having him in our lives. He is an amazing baby. He is very calm and he is a great sleeper. He is our little man.. so cute!

London is such a good big sister. She is a good helper and has so much love for her little brother. She loves hugging and kissing him and stroking his hair. It is so sweet watching her hold him in her arms. She pointed at his eyes today and said "Baby has tiny eyes". and she tried to squeeze his nose and say "beep beep".

I'll show you mommy...

London is so funny! She is in the bath tub and I go to wash her hair. I just have a cup that I fill with water and dump a few times over her head to wet her down which she basically hates. She gets so mad especially when I start pouring shampoo in my hand. So after I got her hair all wet I went to grab her Shampoo and as I was just about to open it she grabs a sand bucket that she plays with in the tub and starts heading for me with this look in her eyes like "Ill show you mommy!" Just before she had a chance to dump it on me I pushed it out of the way managing to avoid getting completely soaked! a little bit of my jeans got wet and my whole arm but I'm pretty sure if she would have done it a few seconds earlier I would have been soaked from head to toe. Funny girl..

-meg-

Well this past weekend we went to Cardston to visit our families and London got to bake cookies with Grandma. She had so much fun! She helped add all the ingredients, mix it together and put it on the pan. After all the dough was placed on the pan... and in London's mouth , London helped Grandma put the cookies in the oven. She had so much fun baking with Grandma Redford and Loved handing cookies out to everyone when they were done!

Park Lake!

We had a really fun time this weekend with Jeff's Parents and his brother Carter at Park Lake! London Loved being out in the water even though it was pretty cold. She also loved being out in our little blow up boat with Jeff. She wanted to be the one to paddle the boat. It was pretty cute! She also loved playing on the little boogie boards with grandma. she would lay on the board while Grandma pulled her around by the string that is attached to the front of the board. I think we were all tired and ready to come home after a few hours though but it was definitely worth the trip just to see London having so much fun!
