July thus far

Just a few pics from July so far :) I'm preparing for yet another huge blogger slack off... so I'll get as updated as possible.

Jay and I went home to Oshawa in the end of June, we stayed for a good week and really had a blast, it was great to be back, we visisted with everyone and just had a lot of fun relaxing. Jay was spoiled by Oma and Opa, he got an awesome train set, a motorized Thomas and Friends set along with some extra engines...each one is battery operated, so it basically plays all by itself. Jay loves to turn each engine on and then just watch forever.
Here's a pic of my 'stinky boy' He was just not in the mood to do anything today...
Playing some games at the lake with cousin Hadley
Getting ready for the big parade...he was so excited because he was told they would be throwing candy out to the kids.
Jay and Hadley getting ready for the candy with their bags
Jay loved the firetrucks...the noise was deafening, but he was just thrilled with the flashing lights and the siren was cool too...although 90% of the time he had his hands over his ears.
Waiting for the next 'float' I thought this pic was super cute


The kids checking out the lake

SO that covers 4th of July...I'll be back with more

Birthday Videos




The Birthday MADNESS (Jay turns 3)

On Jay's birthday, daddy took time off of work for a fun filled JAY DAY.
Jay got to choose what we did :)

And of course, he chose his most favourite place in the world, Impression 5 Science Center...its a childrens museum and Jay is just in love with everything about it. They have the coolest things to do and Jay has a blast trying everything out. Its really hands on, which is really what makes it so cool.






And then after our fun afternoon, Jay was able to pick where we would eat for his birthday dinner. He chose A&W...its his new favourite place to eat ;) I think its because the ice cream cones all come with happy faces.



We opened a few small presents when we got home, we were saving the big stuff for when Oma and Opa would arrive later that evening.

Well the next day was Saturday, and we had another fun day...Oma & Opa had come down to visit, and Nana & Poppa were here to celebrate too!

Mmmm, CAKE!
Checking out his loot
Ooooh ANOTHER Backyardigans dvd!
The awesome new trike from Oma & Opa :)

June 2008

A few highlights from this month...feeding ducks, playing with the cousins...DESTROYING MY CAMERA...Kenzies birthday, Jay's birthday and various outdoor activities




And here we are at the fateful water fountain, the kids were trying to get a drink...

Do not ask HOW i managed to take this picture...I think I was in shock from the freezing water in my face...but I took a picture of the destruction


But he's super cute...evil, destructive and cute ;)

By the way, my camera kind of made a recovery...I can't zoom in or out anymore, but other than that, its working pretty good.


The best part about birthday celebrations are the cake...or in Kenzie's case, a big ol cookie :)
Jay and Hailee much prefered to paint themselves in icing ;)
Just a random pic
Jay passed out
This child can sleep through ANYTHING...I took this picture while there was 4 other children in the house screeching and playing loudly in the SAME room.

Little Video of Camping Adventure

May 2008

Lets start off by saying: I am a slacker...horrible bad bad slacker.

Ok, now that I've said that...Here's a few updates, we'll start with May :)

Beginning of May, I had my 10 year highschool reunion, which was neat :) It was definetely nice to see so many people that I'd not seen in many years.

Here's a few pics I was able to get Chris to snap...my camera died soon thereafter, so I've been depending on other's pics.







This month was generally decent...I mean it wasn't good nor bad in either way, just a lot of fun running around with Jay boy and having fun outside

We spent a lot of time outdoors!






Oh and Chris and Jay had a little camping adventure out in the backyard too... Jay was SO into it...putting up the tent, building the fire, and snuggling in his sleeping bag...all until it was ACTUALLY time for bed, then he got a little freaked out by all the backyard sounds and he and daddy came inside.
