So today is our 5 year wedding anniversary. We can't believe it has been 5 years already... it seemed to fly by! It has been a great 5 years (Of course it wasn't without it's trials), and we have both matured and grown a lot. We are both very lucky to have each other, and we are so thankful that we have the Lord to guide us and direct us in our marriage. Here's to many more years to come!!!

So Last week (Tuesday til Sunday) Libby and I went to Hay River, NWT with my parents. For those who don't know, I grew up in Hay River, but I hadn't been there for over 4 years. It was strange in some ways to go back, but I loved it! The only dissappointing part is that I wasn't able to see one of my best friends, Kailey (hopefully we'll see each other soon though!!). We were staying at the golf course in my parents 5th wheel and it was really quiet and nice. My parents trailer is huge so we were very comfortable. I even got a couple rounds of golf in!!! (don't ask me what my score was.... I haven't golfed in over 2 years.... enough said!) So here are some pictures of Libby and I in the Great Slave Lake. It was very cold and Libby didn't seem to mind until a wave got her legs (see next picture!!) If anyone is interested there are a few more pictures on flickr (on the side bar). Tomorrow Libby and I are off to Canmore (well Swift Surrent and then Canmore on Sunday). We should be back by Wednesday night and then we will be staying home for a good chunk of time (YAY!!) I'll post pictures of our girl's trip to Canmore next week.

Family Reunion

On August long weekend Daryl, Libby and I went to Alberta for my family's reunion. It was the Stoby side (my mom's maiden name), and we were celebrating 100 years since the Stoby family moved onto the homestead. Here is a four generation picture and as a side note my Grandma Stoby is the oldest family member left and she just turned 84. Doesn't she look great!!!

Andrea, Daryl's sister, came on the weekend to meet Libby for the first time. It was a great time, and as you can see from the picture Libby and Andrea really hit it off. I think that Andrea was excited that Libby still liked to cuddle.

Libby's toy

Libby has started to play with her toys (kind of). I say kind of, because first you have to put the toy in her hand and then you have to close her hand around it AND THEN she'll bring it to her mouth and play with it. She seems to be growing up so fast.... she is very strong, is a lot more steady and has already grown out of a lot of her clothes.
So tomorrow morning we are leaving for Barrhead for a family reunion and then Libby and myself are going to the NWT (where I grew up) with my parents. So Libby and I won't be back until around August 15th. (Daryl will be back this Monday already). I will try to post pictures, but I don't know if I'll be able to pry this computer away from Daryl for over a week!!!
