Trick or Treat...........

Three little spookies and one little bee.....

Lazy afternoons and jack'o'laterns

This past weekend we enjoy at day at the farm. We made a small bonfire, drank hot chocolate, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and carved our pumpkins. What a great way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon and evening.






The girls enjoying carving the pumpkins by the bonfire...


Our creations a glow...

Thalia- a little ghost saying "Boo"
Eden- The BOO

Heath- uncarved
and the poca dots just for fun!

Pumpkin picking......

On a drizzly Sunday afternoon, packed up all the kiddies and headed out to the pumpkin patch. Each of us searched for the perfect pumpkin for caving next weekend.



Samantha searching intently for her perfect pumpkin!!



Thalia and Alyssa showing their enormous strength!!


Eden and Mommy having a good time!

Look at me now!

Hi everybody, look at me sitting up all by myself! It's great, because I can sit in my little rocking chair and read all my favorite books before mommy puts me to bed. Enjoy and snuggles from me to you....
Love Eden

Nothing better

Just this past weekend we were at my parents place, where all the girls enjoyed a fresh apple off of the tree.....oh how sweet!

New adventures....

So we fixed up our canoe and got it on the water. Heath spent some time cleaning it up and then we gave it a coat of paint. We all look forward to spending some time paddling around the local lakes.



Heath and the girls putting the canoe in for its first venture!

Daddy and the littlest Armstrong all ready to go.....

"Hey isn't this the life"!

"See you all later",,,,,

Bippity boppity booo......

Today the girls got all dolled up for their mom's wedding. I spent the morning flat ironing, curling and hairspraying the heck out of their hair. Add a little shadow and lip gloss and a little bippity boppity booo....

Future pianist .......?

What do you think, Possible pianist in our future?

I'm four months old now.....

Hi everybody....I'm four months old now.....Look how my sisters made me pose while camping. You would never know this picture was taken in a tent! I loved camping!!!

Oh how much do I enjoy finally having a bath in a real bath tub! While camping mommy did her best to give me a bath in everything from a laundry sink to just sponge bathing, but I'm a real girl at heart I LOVE my baths!

Banana bread anyone......??

Mixing and stiring and making banana loaves...

Road trip 2007.....

Our road trip begins! Enjoying a lovely lunch just outside of Cache Creek. Heath did a wonderful job finding us a picturesque place for lunch. Too bad you couldn't experience our Blog in smell-a-vison...because it wasn't too long after setting up for luch we discovered we were dining beside a dead deer, not to mention an ants nest!!! HA HA HA a perfect picnic...
After lunch we pushed ahead for Barkerville.....pulling rather late but very excited to spend the day in the old city.



A little candy from the Gerneral Store...


A little thunder and lightening never hurt anyone....did it?


Gold panning in Barkerville....Striking it rich.



Our new friend the prospector helping the girls find their shiny gold....."best smile for me to keep helping you little lady, or else I'm going for a coffee break"!

A day with friends....

After two nights of thunder, lightening and leaky tents a quick visit to Prince George was well received. We visited our good friends Matt, Jasmine and Jennifer, who just happened to be well into her 9th month... baby anyday! A special thanks for the warm bed and yummy dinner.



A warm hug between friends...

Mount Robson........to Jasper......and beyond....

Mount Robson, after spending a couple crumby nights sleeping in the rain, we were overjoyed to arrive at Mount Robson and see blue skys. We decide to use Lucerne Lake campground as a base camp, so we could then take a couple day trips into Jasper. Beautiful campsite, however the mosquitos where a pain in everyones butt.

White water rafting anyone????

Once in Jasper National Park we were treated to many amazing sites...
From Elk grazing, mountain goats and sheep meandering along the road, to icefields, giant mountains, and raging waters....
Such a wonderful time showing the girls the beauty of our country!

Athabaska Falls, a 23 metre long waterfall.....white water rafting anyone? I don't think so.

Columbia Ice Fields....

Picture perfect...


What a great sheet of ice....just imagine ice skating. Thalia climbed on the field with her Daddy, and saw the prettiest light blue cravases....

Brrrr it sure it cold! Does anyone have a hot chocolate??

Lake Louise to Radium Hotsprings......

A treat for tired campers

After many nights sleeping in a tent we decide to treat everyone to a warm and cozy bed, nevermind having proper baths! We ended up rolling in rather late in the evening so we stayed at Manning Park Lodge..


Three bears in the bed and the little one said......roll over I'm squished.....
