Girls in Egypt

Uncle Jonathan "fixed" this picture from Kailyn's birthday. It was so nice to have Sydney and Dani here for her party.

Country Cousins

Dani and Sydney usually reside in Baltimore, Maryland with Elizabeth, their mom; unless they are visiting Todd, Alicia, Zerrin and Brynne in Camp Pendleton, California or Utah. I suppose, to them, Calgary is a small place and we are the country cousins. Lukas sneaks in as Kailyn, Dani & Sydney pose for a picture. This is at the Great Canadian Barn Dance in Hillspring. These cousins haven't seen each other in two years...since we were living in California. They've all grown so much since then. I can't believe how tall they've become. It only took a few minutes before all the kids were running around together having a wonderful time. This has been a blessing to spend some time with them again.

Kailyn's Birthday Party

This year, Bob and Kailyn decided to do a "Nile Party". This means Kailyn and her friends dress up like Egyptian Queens, we play games and eat cake and go swimming. I had absolutely no faith in Bob, whatsoever. I couldn't understand why he didn't try to sway her into having a "Pony Party" or a "Barbie Party". But, Bob did an amazing job!! The girls looked great and they had so much fun.

The Graduate!!

I couldn't be happier--Bob finally finishes school--I get to see him walk across the stage. He definately looks good in the robes and hood.
This has been a LONG time coming!! Bob finally graduates from University of Calgary with a degree in Biological Sciences and a degree in Geography.



Our family (Mac is taking the picture) come to see Bob walk across the stage. Cheryl , Bob, Kelly, Heather & Mom.

Brynne Isabella Quackenbush

We've have another addition to our family: Brynne Isabella Quackenbush was born on Saturday, May 27th. She joins big sisters, Danielle and Sydney and big brother, Zerrin. We are so excited for the Quackenbush family!! She is 7lbs 11oz and 19 inches long. She is currently sporting a conehead (mostly bald) but has blonde hair. Mom and baby are both well and Todd was lucky enough to listen in from Camp Fallujah and hear her first cries over the phone. Congratulations, Alicia and Todd!!

Nate's Big Day!!

Nate and Richard

In our church, when a child turns 8 years old, they decide if they want to be baptized and become an offical member. Nate chose to be baptized this last weekend.

N8 - his birthday was on May 5 and he just turned 8!!

L-R: Ben (12), Connor (10) (holding Izsak?), Kelly (22?) (holding Lilla - 19 months), Nate (N8), Tia (5), Reece (3)

Another Condron Boy!!

Izsak Jonathan Condron

We are so excited to welcome Izsak Jonathan Condron to our family!! Kati brought this beautiful baby boy into our family on May 17, 2006. We couldn't be happier to have him here.

High on Sugar??

Kailyn gives huge hugs to her little cousin Lilla. Lilla is 18 months old and the cutest little thing. Her mom, Kati, had a doctor's appointment early one morning for baby #2 and Lilla came for her first sleep over!! We had lots of fun and Kailyn wanted me to do Lilla's hair just like hers. It is a wonderful blessing to have family so close. Jonathan and Kati have been really good friends and I couldn't imagine having them far away.

My sisters and I stole the camera for a few pictures together. Christa (left) is doing well at work. She is an incredible hair stylist and is very popular with customers in our salon. (We work together.) She is my personal stylist. She is 20 years old and twitterpated with her boyfriend, Devon. Sarah (middle) just turned 22 and is doing a fantastic job as a mom to Liam--he's almost 1--even though she's been sick with baby #2. She is due at the end of August. And last but most adorable--ME!! A mom in her mid-20s with two cute kids--Kailyn (5) and Lukas (2). I work part time at the salon. I am a front end receptionist and I LOVE MY JOB! It's so fun to get out of the house for a few hours a week and have adult conversation. I also love the discounts and that I HAVE to have my hair done often--so I look good for work!

Lukas and Liam are being persuaded to smile for the camera on Easter Sunday. Obviously, we didn't do a very good job. Lukas will be 3 on July 1 and Liam will turn 1 next week.

Condron Family 2005

This is the best family picture we could get. Lukas was not happy about getting his picture taken and as an expression of his contempt, he peed on the backdrop. I love Bob--he looked exactly the same in every picture--I love Bob!!


Kailyn and Lukas together--he is not as tall as her but he definately catching up. Most of the time they play really well together.


Little Man Lukas!! He is so serious!! But, I love this little guy. I can't believe how big he getting. He is starting to talk a little more--Auntie Kati thinks he speaks Chinese instead of english.

Kailyn

We have more pictures of Kailyn than anyone else. Jenn did a wonderful job--she came to our home and set up her backdrop and lights and took tons of pictures.

New Pictures

Lukas and Bob: This is one of the only photos that Lukas is happy

Kailyn Rose--- She's just starting French Immersion Kindergarten...she is already so smart.
