Camas to the Silverton

It has been a busy few months! In June we got to drive down to Camas/Portland to see Mom & Dad Bundy & Tim and Susie & family (who had all either driven or flown out for the week), and Grandma Bundy, Uncle Duane & Aunt Diane. We had such a great time seeing everyone who was able to make it out, and Bella was in 7th heaven spending the week with her cousins. On the ways up and down we were able to catch up with friends too.

Last weekend we drove out to Silverton, where Matt's Aunt Marilyn & Uncle Ted have a house. Mom & Dad Lunde, and Matt's cousins from Nelson came out too, and we had a great few days with them. We had to come home early when Bella got a stomach flu (which she was kind enough to pass on to me).

Matt and I have been trying to figure out how to get Bella to give up her soother, which we've let her hold on to up till now for sleep times. She made that decision for us about 3 weeks ago when she bit a big chunk out of one of them... we decided to go cold turkey. We let her keep the broken one so she can see that it's broken, and she's done great - except that naps look like they may have gone in the trash along with the soother. We're working on establishing a "quiet time", since I would still like to take my nap...

Oh yeah, and we shot the photos for a wedding somewhere in the last couple weeks.

ITS A BOY!

Hello all, We've all been waiting to find out what we are having and now we know!

Here is a little picture of our little man coming in the end of October!

Bella knew it was going to be a BOY!

Spring so far

We are FINALLY getting some nice weather here. Here are some pictures from the last month or so...

We drove out with a few of our neighbours to Davison Orchard. Bella spent the whole time in the playground. She usually loves the animals, but this time she said that they were "TOO LOUD!"

Bella's "surprised" face

Our friends Ash and Melissa got married in Kelowna a few weeks ago. Bella had a great time at the rehearsal dinner (which was right on the beach) and spent the night throwing sand and preforming for the other people who were there.

Loving playing in the FREEZING water.

Matt and I at the actual wedding. Wilf and Aileen were kind enough to watch Bella for the day (and a sleepover) since Matt was in the wedding and we were running around all day. It was finally a sunny weekend.

Bella can now climb anything... the only problem is that most of the time she wants you to do it with her. I don't know how many times I climbed the little climbing wall and went down the slide that was way too small for an adult.

Most likely throwing something.

Our friend Randy took this picture of Bella playing at the lake. The water was cold enough to hurt, but that didn't keep her out.

Bella getting thrown around by Daddy.

Time sure flys

Well we've been waiting for summer for a while now and enduring the unusually cold spring. Time has been flying by and its June in 2 weeks already!

Here are some pics from the last little while.

She used to hate the swing, now we can keep her off them!

The Braziers came up from Seattle to hang out with us in the start of April.

Riah, Doren and Bells playing in the sandbox.

More swinging!

Pretty Dress, Pretty Girl.

The last three months +

Its not everyday that you get asked "hey do you want to go burn a piano" So I took the opportunity to shoot some promo photos with the same photographer who did our "trash the dress" photos. This shoot was for a musician, i just went for fun!

I'll post more of these on my www.lundephoto.com site soon.

Bella getting her first taste of pudding! Most of our treats and dessert are fruit, so this was pretty exciting!

Sugar high!

She picks out what she wears, down to her "accessories"

I think that's peanut butter....

Skipping stones!

Enjoying the view at Kal park

Looking forward to walks like these withOUT jackets

If you look closely, Bella is wearing a dress, a shirt, a second dress, AND Mummy's pink shoes. Who says we only get to wear one outfit??

Funny faces! Bella loves taking pictures and then looking at them all... over and over

Vegas! We found a last minute deal and went with our neighbours for a weekend. A lot of fun! But we sure missed Bella, who stayed with Omi and Opa.

Outside of... Caesar's Palace... I think

Bella turns TWO!

We had a big party and there were over 15 kids, with at least one parent each. It was a FULL house, and a ton of fun!

Bella was pretty excited to wear this dress that Uncle Ted & Aunt Marilyn brought back for her from Mexico. It was her "princess dress"

Bella showing off her beautiful new jewelry!

Putting her food away! Bella got this kitchen for her birthday
