BANANAS ANYONE??

We had a BANANA-RAMA night a few weeks ago at Jr. High Ignite. We played games all night that had to do with bananas. We bobbed for bananas in jello, we fed eachother baby food (banana flavored of course), we measured things like the church in bananas, and so on... It was a really fun night! Enjoy the pics of our fruity night!

MY LITTLE SISTER'S MARRIED!!

We just returned from Minnesota yesterday after a fun week! We did lots of wedding preparations from Thursday and Friday. We were up early and up late. It was great to see everything come together. We had a personal shower for Annie. It was really fun we had chocolate fondu complete with a chocolate fountain! MMmmMMM! And Jamie went to Ryan's bachelor party where they went shooting at a gun range in Minneapolis.


Annie was beautulful! Her dress was beautiful and Ryan was a stud. They were so cute! They had a perfect day. We had a lot of fun getting to know their wedding party that came from all over the US and Canada. All in all it was a wonderful time! We can't wait to be able to visit them in Victoria in a few weeks!

LOVE SHACK!!??

More picture of our trip . . .

The red barn is where we stayed when we were at my parents. My grandpa built it and we named it the LOVE SHACK while we were staying there, well oficially BERNIE'S LOVE SHACK. It was fun to stay in it.

ROAD TRIPPIN'

Hello everyone! Jamie and I are back on the Island after being on the road for 3 weeks. We drove to Minnesota and we did it in just over 2 days. We had one 16 hour day of driving and we were glad to get to Minnesota and not have to drive too far for a while! We arrived at my parents just in time for a bbq party for Canada Day...as you can see we also added a spalsh of American pizazz for our Canadian boys.

We did many things in Minnesota! Jamie did studying almost everyday at our local coffee shop call Caribou Coffee. Jamie likes to study near coffee and free internet. Since Jamie had to study this left me able to do some shopping, seeing friends, and helping do some wedding stuff and go to some Bridal showers for Annie. We also went tubing down the Mississippi River a few times and Jamie had a few chances to go golfing.

We went to a few parades during the weeks we were there. My cousin Melody was a princess for Monticello so we had a chance to cheer her on at the parades as well as collect candy from the many floats.

We ended our trip by sweating in the car on the roadtrip back to Nanaimo. We stopped in Kelowna to see Jeff & Heidi McNairn and Lauren and Claire. We had fun visiting, eating, golfing, shopping and playing with Lauren and Claire. As you can see they are wearing poodle shirts to go with their poodle hair. So cute!

We are back home now until we return to Minnesota again the end of August for Annie & Ryan's wedding!

Let us know what you are up to this summer!

WEEKEND at WHISTLER!!

Hello from the future winter Games 2010 Venue! We went to Whistler last weekend with Chris & Shannon Gillespie. We stayed at the Chateau Whistler and enjoyed the ammenities of this beautiful Chateau. The pool and the numerous hot tubs were wonderful! Jamie wanted you to know that the lap pool has underwater music for your enjoyment. Shannon & I tried out the eucalyptus (sp?) steam room, but sadly it was too strong for us. We only lasted a few minutes simply because we had to breathe.

We were there during the off season so we didn't go skiing etc... Instead we walked the villages and tried numerous places to eat. One of our treats we had there was from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory - it was a caramel apple covered in chocolate...mmmMMM. It was yummy! The weather was beautiful on Saturday so we walked the whole day. Sunday the rain decided to come so we headed for the ferry early. It was a great first visit to Whistler.
