The most beautiful flower....

We discovered the most beautiful flower on our deck this afternoon...........we pray she grows big and strong and shares her beauty with the world!!!!

BIRTHDAY CAKE

At first Jemma wasn't too sure about eating her birthday cake..............but once she had a taste of it.................mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......gooooooood cake!!

Jemma's First Birthday

We can't believe that a year has already passed. A year filled with our precious daughter's laughter and smiles....a youthful joy which we are very thankful for especially on this special day (Feb.4). We praise God every day for blessing us with this wonderful gift.

The stair challenge

Never having been on stairs before, Jemma was quite the pro climbing them for the first time!! (maybe she just wanted to get away from Momma)

this is easy :-).....bet you can't get me!!

I made it...yaaaayyyyyy!!!!

someone woke up too soon from their nap!! (maybe she's distressed over the way her hair looks :-))

say cheese.......Jemma & Kayla hamming it up for the camera.

*~*~WELCOME~*~*

Jemma's newest cousin :-)

"Hello....?" Jemma loves "talking" on the phone (hopefully this is NOT an indication of things to come) :-)

Jemma loves to share:-)

and a Happy New Year!!!!

Jemma....where are you?

"are you looking for me Momma?"

Jemma all snuggled up with her little lamb.....zzzzzz

!!!*~*~*WALKING*~*~*!!!

For a while now Jemma has been standing in her playpen and crib.....but today she decided to start WALKING!!!!!! Then.......

....a little while later this is Jemma taking a "nap"!!! She walked around the perimeter of her crib before settling down to sleep...zzzzzzz

During the boil water advisory we had limited fresh water....so Jemma had to bathe in the "baby" bathtub again...she doesn't seem to mind the limited space though!!

Daddy brought fresh water home from work for us. Here's Jemma helping take the bottles out of the box....I guess she was either thirsty or wanted a bath :-)

*~*~*~*THE GREAT SNOWFALL*~*~*~*

So foreign to the lower mainland....all this snow has started to fall...

...people are getting out and enjoying this white stuff...

...the trees and shrubs are starting to feel the weight...
