A couple weekends ago, all three of us packed up the truck and headed for Winnipeg. The main purpose of the trip was a retirement party for my dad (there will be a future post about that), but we also got to spend time with family and visit friends, which was so wonderful. Of course, it all went by WAY too fast, but we loved it while it lasted! We're hoping to go back for an entire week at the end of August, so hopefully that works out!
While we were there, we had a second little celebration for Kallie's First Birthday...this is the cake...Whitburn style:) We're all about DQ cakes! We got to visit with our VERY CLOSE friends (let's say, just under a handful:) and it was a wonderful afternoon spent with people who really love Kallie and have been there for the from the very start:)!
The 'birthday girl'...what a goof!!

Ethan and Kallie playing with one of Kallie's new toys...Mandi and Patsi got her birthday presents for the LOOOONG drive home, THANK YOU!It was hard to get a good shot of Kallie and Ethan because they're both so mobile now!

We spent Sunday night with my sister and her boyfriend, Daniel. We made some delicious sushi and TRIED to get the boys interested in a game of Mad Gab...unsuccessfully, but Dana and I still had some fun with it:)~

The boys! Daniel is pretty much a professional sushi maker...we all learned so much:)
We got to have a quick visit with our friends Melinda and Brandon. At the time of our visit they had Aiden, who's almost four, and Lily who is 19 months, and just last night (July 10) they welcomed their beautiful baby girl, Sadie, into the world! Congratulations!
Lily and Kallie sharing a smooch! Both girls are so affectionate, they were hugging and kissing the whole time we were there, SO ADORABLE!
Big Sister Lily!
The Johnston's: Harley, Scott, Patti-Ann and Copper!
We were sad to leave but hopefully will be back again soon!
On the way home, Lyndon spotted a turtle crossing the highway. We took a couple of pictures, showed him to Kallie and then put him on the side where he was heading...hopefully he kept on going!

Yay, for a new post!!! Thanks for the great update! Isn't it fun having a little one to show off now when you're with family! Its so fun to watch grandparents and aunt's and uncle's 'oooh & aaahh' over our kids! :) Kallie looks SO much older - she's so tall, too! What a beautiful, gorgeous girl!! Thanks for the update, Lauren! Keep it up!
Thanks Lauren, it was great to read about your nice little trip! It sounds like it was some good quality hang out time with friends/family.
Lyndon - will you ever age my friend?
You still look as young as ever, anytime I see you in a new pic I say to myself....that could have been taken 10 years ago, he looks so young! That's right. Soak in that compliment because your not going to get another for at least another good 10 years ;)
Yay, I made the post!
Well done Lauren - still loving the blog.
Oops, the anonymous post is from me - Kelly :)
Ok, I know I'm OCD, but my first thought with the turtle picture was "I hope he washed his hands with sanitizer or disinfecting wipes before he touched anything in the truck." Turtles carry salmonela (sp?) poisoning!! But I suppose you're all fine :o)
It was really great to see you again, it had been TOO long! I hope that when you come in Auguest, we'll spend LOTS of time together. I won't care that I'll have a newborn, you can still come over every day!
