The Latest in the Burnham Household!

So, Grande Prairie is finally snow free!! The weather is getting warmer and buds are starting to appear on the trees. Too bad it's May tomorrow! I am looking forward to flowers and leaves on the trees!
Emily started soccer last night (Tuesday April 28th). She had a great time running around, but she still has to figure out how the game works! After her game was over she was upset because she didn't score a goal. Poor girl! So Daddy had to take her out for a treat to help her feel better. Then he talked to her about the three rules of soccer (Tim's really good at explaining things simply to our girls)! #1. Watch where the ball goes and follow it. #2. Run to the net. #3. Have fun and be a good friend! I think her next game will be a better experience. Her ballet and tap recital is on the 9th and 10th of May. Then she's all done until the fall!
Bethany is now officially potty trained! It's been almost 4 weeks, but she's at the point now where she tells us that she needs to go! Hooray!!! NO MORE DIAPERS!!! Except a night time. Sometimes she holds it too long and barely makes it to the toilet on time, but that's okay! I'm so glad to be diaper free! She's getting ready for play-school and dance in the fall!
Tim and I have big plans for our yard this year! We're basically going to re-do everything! Shed, deck, porch, lawn, play structure, garden, and if we can afford it, pave the driveway! We'll see how much actually gets done! My sister, Melissa, comes to live with us for the summer in just a few weeks! Emily and Beth are very excited for her to come! Tim is starting a bounce house business up here for Melissa to run. Hopefully it will make her lots of money to pay for school! Of course we want to make some too!
Anyway, we're anxious for summer! Hopefully it will be full of hot weather and lots of fun!

A Little History...

Hey!! We're the Burnham family! Tim, Judy, Emily and Bethany. We live in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada and keep pretty busy up here! Tim's a lawyer, Judy stays home with the girls, Emily's 5 and in kindergarten, and Bethany's 2 and a busy companion for her mommy! We've been in GP for two years now. We used to live in Edmonton while Tim went to school. Judy used to be a lab assistant until Emily came along. She really enjoys staying home with the girls. Emily is busy with ballet, tap, soccer and playing with friends. Bethany is working on going on the potty like a big girl! She's stubborn and full of energy! Beth can't wait until she can dance and go to school just like her big sister!
Our family loves to travel, play outside in the summer, swim, ski, and lots of other things too!
