The Renos

This is what we took on while the boys were at Science World. We were just planning on taking out the carpet, but it turned into, let's lay the floor today! We got half of the living room done on Saturday and finished it up on Sunday. The kitchen will wait until we have another free weekend. Because we got such a variety of colours, textures and grains in our floor, I laid it out so it would look right and clay nailed it. It was tricky because some boxes had mostly light pieces and some had dark and we wanted a mix. I love the finished product! ( I will post more on the once "fireplace", now entertainment wall, when it is completely finished!)

We decided to write our names underneath the floor on the plywood.

The finished product!

Outdoor Music Concert at WAFMS

Every year my school puts on the final band concert in the outdoors followed by ice cream from my fav place Birchwood Dairy! The boys asked through the entire concert, "Is it done yet? Do we get ice cream now?" Even though they won't admit it, they loved the music--B's toe was tapping and Ry was shaking his bum bum to few songs.

"Cheers" to the ice cream!

Party in the Park

Every year, the community church puts on a party in the park across the street from us! It is a BIG potluck/BBQ and they have lots of fun things for the kids to do!

VIP Treatment for the Heat

Clay got the VIP treatment June 8! He was the first season ticket holder for the new Abbotsford Heat hockey team. He got a few interviews and he got a jersey. We got to pick our seats across from the bench on the blue line. Quite the excitement! See the article and video online here.

First "Run" of the Season

I guess you could call it walk through the slide's sprinkler, and jump in the pool at the end. B is just starting to run and slide on it. After this, B was so cold, he wrapped up in a towel and sat on the deck. I thought he had gotten too much sun, but later that night he had a fever of 102! It took at least a week for him to feel better again.

Milk Moustache

Ry has learned how to drink from a cup without spilling it everywhere which results in these:

May Day Annual Tradition

It's off to the May Day parade in Fort Langley and yet another year of cold and a little bit of rain. B and Natasha looked so cute walking to the parade.

Getting balloons.



You can see me taking the photo in my sis's glasses...cool random shot that worked how I wanted it to!

Science World Lego Style

Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Trisha took the boys to Science world while we prepped our floors to start laying hard wood (check out the next post). They had some fun with the exhibit as well as the traditional "always there" things to do.

Big Screen Big Excitement

After the kids got home from Science world, the last Canucks game was on in HD (with our new TV, it looks like you can reach out and touch them). Auntie Trisha caved and bought the boys a puck head. Fun!
