August 2008

So now we are full swing into summer...Meshach lived through summer school and now gets to go to Whitehorse for a few days before we go to Hawaii. I took Liam Camile and Shach up at the beginning of August and Bill went up to get Liam and then had to go back to get Meshach because when Aymie went she couldn't get a flight! So aymie got stuck in Vancouver and got a room at the Radisson at the hotel...yes I know I thought the same thing especially after I ended up staying there with the boys when I arrived in Vancouver and decided to wait for Bill and Meshach to go to Hawaii....yes this is turning into another Rome trip!

So on Saturday when there was only one seat on the plane to Honolulu we decided Aymie should take it to be sure she'd be there in time for school to start. I decided to check out of the hotel and get a car to go stay with Coby and Kevin - So they had Liam and Zach and I for two days until Bill and Meshach got there from Whitehorse and on Monday we got on a flight to Honolulu...!!! YAY!

We had such a great trip. We rented a house with beach out the back door! so great we could hear the waves all night and loved it. Meeting Bill's family for the first time was very nice. Everyone is so happy to have Aymie there. Bernie and Sharyn and Cody were there as well as

July 2008

This month we went to New York with the girls...and by we I mean Grandma Easterbrook, Zach and Me...It was such a great trip...except for the trip from the Hotel to the Airport...but I'll tell you about that later.

We stayed in Soho at the Holiday Inn. I was totally shocked at how small the rooms were. We did mange to get a bigger room that would fit a cot so we could all sleep comfortably...I had to work so Grandma took Zach out every moring and after his nap and they just walked and he loved it so much! I was still nursing so I had to take Zach...

The girls went shopping and sight seeing AND they went to the Gordon Ramsey NY! What a great night. They each had their own waiter and a guy that just explained the dishes as they came out. They said the food was unbelievable...and after they went to a show on Broadway...and totally loved it so much they got the sound track and we all have it on our IPOD's ...

I had a great time. Work was fantastic I had no trouble getting into our VPN and in the evenings I could go out walking with Zach and Sharyn and one day we got to do some sight seeing with the girls. It was a fabulous trip. The girls hit some really great sales and Zach got to bond with Grandma E and I got to see a bit of NY to...I was really glad I took the baby carrier and a stroller some places on the train were not stroller friendly!

All of us thought we'd like to go back again.

June 2008

Hey there, June is HUGE! Aymie has graduation ceremonies this month. The guest list includes Grandma and Grandpa Haslam and Easterbrook,Cody, Megan, Me and Bill and Grandma Evans and Will. Her date - yes her dAte...is Spencer Davis...She had a custom dress made and He got a tux to match..well the tie for the tux matches...they look fabulous together! It was a busy week and we definately soaked up every minute of it. Cody and Meshach made a bunch of lay's for her and Cody had picked up some fabric ones when he was in Hawaii. It was so fun after the ceremony to put them all on her...you couldn't even see her neck!

After the ceremony we went out to lunch with Camile and Nicola and their families. Which was so great! The parents decided to give the three girls a trip anywhere in North America for a 4 day weekend. They were so excited.

It was sooo fun to have the family around for the week!
