"Costco" Fun Park

Every month or so, we take a visit to "Costco Fun Park" as Ry calls it, so excitedly! Ry likes to "play bowling" and he isn't strong enough yet, so he actually has to walk up the lane as close to the net as possible to get it in. He also doesn't really like to play games, but run from one to another, just steering the cars.

B likes to race! He and I played my favorite Final Lap.

B also tried this time to bat in the batting cages and he did really well!

Our Maiden Voyage in Papa Ken's Plane

B all ready to go...Ry was so scared and crying, so he didn't come with us.

Mt. Baker

Mt. Baker's crater...you can actually see a bit of stem rising up from the side.
The Rocky Mountains
Auguston...where we live!

The Weather Outside is Frightful

...but inside is just delightful.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

We have a few ipod's around the house so the boys decided to listen to them at the same time...quirky matchy matchy outfits too!

Games for Christmas

Every year each of our boys gets a new board game for Christmas. We had some fun playing their new games!

Christmas Afternoon at the Inlaw's

Large family table.

The afternoon began with playing in the snow...B ploughed the slide for Sam. As you can see Sam could barely stand up!

Auntie Betty having fun with the kids!




Ry eventually exchanged the doll for his motorcycle.;)


Abby and her baby!

Christmas Morning at Our House

A white Christmas!!! The first one in at least 10 years (man, Mad Dogs is losing a lot of money!). Here is our annual pic of the boys in their new jammies by the tree.

B and Ry opening up drum sticks that you can hit anywhere and it sounds like drums.

B got Batman Lego for the X-Box-so excited!
Ry got Darth Vader's "light saver"--it's red.
Chillin' with Dad.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve, we woke up to this which is unheard of in the lower Mainland! We were supposed to go to my mom's which is a half an hour away to go to church then open presents. Well...it took us an HOUR and a half and we stayed for the afternoon. Church was cancelled. I love the expressions we caught!
