Peachland, Bristish Columbia


This was our cabin in Peachland, British Columbia. It was beautiful and can't wait to go back next year for longer! You can see the smoke billowing from the west kelowna fires. We noticed the smoke while we were having our afternoon swim on Saturday, then we lost power at supper time and couldn't shower or flush the toilets either. We slept with the screen doors open that night and it was very relaxing listening to the water waves! Below are a ton of pictures and this is a very small collection of what we took...Enjoy


Alexis has been smiling for a couple weeks but it has been hard to catch one on camera, but I got one finally!


Our cabin from the beach


We went to Jasper and stayed over night with Keith's parents and visited Maligne canyon.

Playing in the sand with daddy and Uncle Brett


Daddy feeding Alexis for the first time. She took her first bottle at 6 weeks, I pumped and bottled it and gave it to her while we were driving, and we only had to stop twice for meals for the 10 hour drive, it worked real well! I love my MEDELA pump. SHe doesn't like taking the bottle from me much but if she is hungry she happily takes it from others much better!


Uncle Brett and Alexis


Jonah in the sand


Brett and daddy buried Jonah, notice his stump right leg and cup holder in his left hand.


Jonah enjoying the view.


My BEAUTIFUL 3 kids


Alexis didn't swim but she had to wear her bikini on the beach!


Another Alexis smile.


Burying daddy time.



Aunty Faye drove out and spent 2 days with us, she spoiled the boys with sand toys and floaties, and we had a great 2 days swimming and hanging out, Love you Faye!


Her sunglasses from Auntie Kim who didn't get to meet her when she was visiting because Alexis didn't want to come by her due date!



Mom and Dad relaxing on the deck.


Our beach set up


Alexis had a great week, sleeping all over the place.


We went to Kelowna one day to Scandia, an amusement park. We played arcade games, had lunch and played a round of indoor air conditioned mini golf, it was too hot to play outside and then we went to Westbank and saw the movie Ice age 3.






Alexis drinking a bottle on the drive home.




This Jonah singing to Alexis which he does a lot, he has a song for her he sings every time, it is so cute, she is so lucky to have 2 Big brothers who will love and protect her!
