Playing in Paradise

This weeks challenge was an easy one for me as I have a ton of flowers and the challenge was to use flowers on a creation. There are a few Birthday's coming up so I decided to make a Birthday Card.

Zoe is now 2 months old - Holy does time fly.
She's growing like a weed - She can now hold her head up a bit longer so she seems to always want to be sitting up. Her nights have been good - down between 9pm and 10pm and will sleep until 4am on most nights.

She's also growing fast that she has out grown all her 3 month stuff already. She is a bit on the chubbier side than Cynthia was but that's okay.

Her eye color is still not confirmed but it's leaning on a grey green / grey brown.

It hasn't been all that warm here lately so we had to dress Zoe up with a sweater. She's my little gnome.

Scrapbooker's Paradise Sketch Challenge

Seeing that I've been to scrapbook I decided what better way to create a page than with a sketch.

Sorry the picture is very small - Blogger hasn't been doing a good job of allowing me to upload so I'm using photobucket which is forcing me to downsize the size of my pictures so they fit in the text box defaulted by this blogger theme! Brutal I can't wait to get my old blog back ( WP )

2 for 1

I finally scrapbooked a page - I've been dying to scrapbook since I don't have much else to do during the day. The only issue is that I'm limited to my supplies as only 2 of my 5 scrapbooking boxes were put aside when the movers dropped off our stuff so the missing boxes have my cricut plug and my cardstock / patterned paper and emblishments.... So I make do with what I have and what I could find at the scrapbook store without going overboard as I already have so much stuff already.

Also Zoe will be 8 weeks old this week and she has started to show more and more of her personality. She now smiles when you go get her from her crib. She loves taking her bath in the big bath, splashing and smiling away. She's already starting to outgrow some of her 3 month outfits.

Bowness Park

This was a much better idea except for the fact that the spray park was nothing but a small trickle of water - We have to find a better spray park, you know the kind where the buckets drop water, flowers spary water and fountains of water shoot up from the ground. I know there are some around but it's a matter of finding it.

We spend a nice late morning early afternoon in the bowness park under a big tree on a blanket. It was for sure the perfect outing for this hot day.

Wildlife Park .... More like caged animal Park in a field

Brutal - we drove 1.5 hours yesterday to see animals in large pens in the middle of the field right off the highway. It was more than cruel to see the animals, when you think of a wildlfe park I personally think Parc Safari, or even a zoo type setting where animals roam large enclosures and are shadded from this Albertan Sun.... but boy was I wrong.

We ended up paying $ 37 to walk around a field looking at a tiger, 2 jaguars, some monkeys and a couple of bears. The only interesting ones were the monkeys and the black bear that was playing in the water. The rest of the animals looked hot and were pacing their pens.... so freaking cruel. There were supposed to be a few shows but we ended up leaving right after noon hour which would have made it 1.5 hours we were there.

On a positive note I did grab some cute pictures of the baby monkey and the bear in the water.

Calaway Park - August 7

So it's not La Ronde or anything close, but it was fun. What I enjoyed the most was the fact that Cynthia was tall enough for most of the adult rides so Claude got a chance to take her on some of the more wild ones which she loved.

PS: Sorry for the small pictures - I was trying a new style of posting pictures but I'll go back to the old way on my next post.
