Katie's First Steps

Our little Princess took her first steps today! Again the first thing I did was call daddy to tell him the news. She has been doing it all day so when I finally got the camera out she was a little tired and only did a few on camera. She has started about the exact same time as when her brother started, only 3 days different in age. That means I'm gonna be a very busy and tired momma.

Rainbow

Here are the rest of the pictures I was talking about in the last post. They are from our famous Nanaimo Bathtub weekend firework show. They are actually from before the show when we went for a walk to the park, got some cotton candy and relaxed on the SANDS funeral home deck.

Jordan’s very first time having cotton candy. He ran the entire way back to the funeral home after eating a bit of it. Can you say sugar high?

I may have taken a few too many pictures of the rainbow but it was the most amazing rainbow I have ever seen. Unfortunately the odd raindrop came down on my lens so it had a few speckles at times.

It was a little difficult and every time I looked away the lightning struck but I got a couple of pictures of it.

This last picture is of the same area. the top is with the lightning and the bottom is just after.

2009 Nanaimo Bathtub Fireworks

Last night we had my parents over and went to the funeral home to enjoy the famous Nanaimo bathtub fireworks. It turned out to be one of the most amazing firework shows I have ever seen. The mainland was having a lightning storm at the same time we were having our fireworks so it looked like part of the show. The video is 10min long but it is seriously the neatest thing I have ever seen so if you have the time watch it.

 

 

I also have some pictures of a beautiful rainbow that happened before the storm but haven’t had a chance to go through them yet.
