There was really cool over head walkways to all the restaurants, theatre and shopping from out hotel. Us girls thoroughly enjoyed it!!

We stayed in the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue, which is a really nice little area.Our little monkey is now getting to the edgs of the bed as fast as she can...

Well, this weekend we took a little trip off the island.It was Sienna's first time going on the ferry boat and she quite liked it! The night before we went I kept having this dream over and over that she fell off the ferry so we stuck to the inside decks. I think I was a bit paranoid.We were not sure how she would do with the travelling and staying in the hotel and different surroundings. I think she did pretty good as we can say we would take her anywhere again. Although at the end of the weekend she ended up with a bit of a cold which is now gone, but mommy has one.Go figure.. Anyway here are some pics and a few comments.

Hunter Justin MacDonald

These pictures are of Tricia and Justin's new baby boy. Hunter weighed in at 9lbs 4oz. They planned for a natural birth but due to situations beyond there control they got the word that it would be a C-section. Tricia was more than O.K. with that and not so secretly wanted one anyways. Anyways Everything went well more or less and they now have a very healthy baby boy. Tricia did great and Justin is doing great in the supporting role(waterboy). Pictures aren't the greatest because I didn't want to flash the baby over and over like I did with Sienna.

Times Colonist 10k run

So this last weekend was the TC10K run, starring Elizabeth. I have never even been downtown to watch the event before so I had no idea how huge it is. A while ago I was asked to do the pictures for the Glad Tidings "GTeam", which was 61runners from the church. The day started out @7:00am with a team photo and the race was at 8:00am. The organizer for the GTeam had this great idea that I should ride a bike and have balloons flying off the back so everyone could see me and pose for a shot. Picture me riding a big yellow bike with matching helmet and four big green helium balloons waving behind me!!!!! The first thing I did was stuff the balloons in a garbage bag so no one could see them until I was down on Dallas rd. Anyways the run went great, Elizabeth came in right at 49min and she said she felt great. The star of the run was Nicole who came in at 45min!!! Way to go Nicole, the sponsors should be pouring in soon. Here's some pictures because my blog always needs pictures.

Sienna's hair is coming in quite nicely

Petting zoo and stuff.

Here are a few pictures from our recent trip to the petting zoo at Beacon hill park last weekend. Beautiful day!!

Easter, Sienna and other random stuff

So it's been a while since my last update, and in that time there has been Easter, birthdays and other stuff happen. Let me start with Easter at the Cowley house. We had fourteen people including My dad, the MacDonalds and 3 of Sienna's great grandparents. We had a great feast and a wonderful time of fellowship. On the Sunday the Brisco's surprised the family with a visit and we had a big tennis match on the Monday, lots of fun. I should say that on the Friday I reluctantly played flag football only to be undercut by the Noobie youth pastor of Ladysmith. I hurt my leg, back and he also stepped on my foot with his cleat and turned two of my toenails black. A long story short I was basically incapacitated for the weekend. After the weekend we went to the Keg with my Dad, Bev, Tricia and Justin for T&J's birthdays.
Sienna has also started teething and is a little fusy at times but she makes all kinds of wierd sounds and funny faces. Sienna also rolled completely over on her own this week which is pretty cool I guess. Anyways I'm not wanting to blab anymore so see ya.

Elizabeth and Naomi waiting for there chance at the "First annual Cowley/Booth/Brisco tennis invitational"

This is a random tennis ball but I like the picture(I'm a simple man).

Intense action in the doubles tourny
Elizabeth still has her sweet stroke.

This is the most freaked out Easter bunny I've ever seen.

That's better
