A quick trip out west.....

We just got back from a fabulous time out west for Angie and Marty's wedding. The time flew by and the entire trip was fantastic. We took a million pictures, but I have just posted a few.

Here are Anj and Marty doing a non conventional (yet fantastic!) first dance to "Bringing Sexy Back"

Great Grandpa Turcsanyi with his 2 newest Great Grandaughters both born on July 9 (Paige's second cousin--Ciara)

Grandpa Jerry discovered a way to keep Paige quiet--a celery stick.

The Turcsanyi-Weir-Pugsley's!

Because the weather wasn't that great we decided against the zoo and opted to take a trip to the Royal Alberta Museum! As Paige can walk, she was able to wander around the museum and look at things that interested her...signs, dinosaurs, fake people, stuffed (real) animals. If she'd wander off too far we'd just carry her to the next place. She really likes to be stroller free unless we are walking quickly. The cutest moment was when she went inside a teepee and then popped out from underneath and yelled HI! On Wednesday night we went to the Barr's house for dinner. Paige loved their Golden Retriever Riley (even though he was 5 times her size and scared of her), and loved the backyard with the stream and pond and steep hill to (accidentally) roll down. They were nice enough to have us over right in between coming and going from vacations. Paige got to play with toys that Marilyn had saved from when Cameron, Lauren and Allison were kids--I remember a lot of these toys, like the strange magnet man...so that was pretty funny.

"The girls" went to the farmer's market while the boys went golfing. It was "easier" to install the car seat in Grandma Val's convertible with the roof down (they don't make these things like your average family vehicle...it practically took 45 mins to install the seat), so we put her in and took some pictures before putting the roof up for the ride.

We didn't actually get a very good picture, but Paige and Abby (Jen and James' dog) were inseperable. Paige continues to call for Abby several times a day which is heartbreaking. I can see why people get their toddler's dogs. She was in a fantastic mood the entire trip because she loved Abby so much (well, the rest of her Albertan family too). She learned how to feed Abby cookies and how to discipline her by saying "NO" if Abby was doing anything bad.

In addition to the word "Abby" she also learned "fishie", and "pretty" (jewellery).

She learned some new actions: tickle fingers--index fingers held up ready for tickling; and "Who's the biggest girl?"--and she raises her arm and says "I am" (but it sounds like "hi")
