Go Canada Go!

Auntie Shari, Uncle Terry and Uncle Mark were over watching Canada win gold with us.

Go Canada Go!

Ryan loves his Auntie Shari :)

Uncle Mark concentrating on the game.

Are you sure? I'm not too sure....

Oh, of course I'm sure... You're my Uncle Terry!

Lunchtime is funtime.

I'm now having to take Emma for a shower or bath after almost every lunch. Breakfast isn't bad and dinner is messy now and then... But lunchtime is funtime for Little Em.

Oh, mama mia!

Daddy's home!

Here, let me put some on your nose too...

Cheese!

Holding hands.

Ryan holds Emmas hand while she falls asleep every time we go on car rides. Awwwwe!

Fun at the Playground.

Greg took Ryan to the playground at the ballpark off of Marine Way. Chilly outside but a beautiful afternoon and nice to be trying out a different playground.

Why do little boys find rocks and dirt so fascinating?

Name that animal!?

Weeeeeeeeeee...

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....!

Puddles, puddles, fun, fun, fun!

Ryan getting some air...

Happy and very wet camper.

Cole's 3rd Birthday Party – The Canada Party.

We drove out to Richmond to our friend Don and Jess's to celebrate Cole's third birthday. Jess made homemade turkey chilli and cheesy cornbread... Yum! Chicken fingers and sweet potato fries for the kids. Coles birthday cake was awesome... A mountain of mini sour cream doughnuts dressed up with Canada flags. After doughnuts followed ice cream cone decorating by the kids... Way too funny. Some couldn't care less about the decorating and concentrated on devouring the ice cream and others just ate the cool decorations and left the ice cream to melt... Ahhhhhhhh... Kids.

"Oh Canada... I mean... "Happy Birthday to you!"

"We didn't do it."

"Hello?"

Shiny orange... Mmmmmm... Oh, if I only could be a little taller...

"I didn't do it either... Don't I look innocent?"

Emma loves balloons...

The mini doughnut birthday cake.

Here comes the ice cream cones...

Let the eating and decorating begin!

The Noisy Red Chair.

We have two old school chairs, one is black and the other red. The black chair has felt feet on it and makes no noise when pushed, guess which one Emma prefers...

Raspberries and Avocados.

Messy Me.

Avocado still continues to be Emmas favourite food. Her skin will be gorgeous and glowing considering how much she applies to her face and head :)

Valentines Day.

We went for a long walk in our neighbourhood... The Spring flowers are starting to come out... So beautiful especially the ones that grow randomly in peoples lawns...

We could take a thousand shots just of all the amazing trees in our neighbourhood. In the winter, they are like architectural masterpieces, in the fall, the trees are like they are on fire with all the colours they produce, in the spring, they bring us bright chartreuse buds and fresh leaves and in the summer when our windows are open, you can hear the leaves move, in a gentle almost rhythmic pattern, rustling with even the slightest ocean breeze.

OK... What next...

At home sitting on the back deck.

Emma adores her big brother and loves being outside.

Wishing she was with her Daddy and big brother playing in the backyard...

Why can't I go back outside Mommy?

Just you wait... A few more weeks and I'll be running not just walking!
