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.

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!

Skip Ahead...Just for a Post...

Last week we got new family photos for the new blogsite by Rhonda Fast (a family friend and a talented fellow photographer). I have posted a few favorites and the rest of the photos I have posted in a gallery on facebook. I really wanted to go to downtown Abbotsford for some photos, not realizing how dirty and busy the cars are down there. The boys love to run and jump and get into things...the pictures turned out great....it was a little nerve wracking at times. When we got into the car, B said to me, " Mom, look at my hands! They are black!" (ew, with dirt)

Sleep Overs...

B and Ry love having "sleepovers" in each other's rooms. I couldn't resist taking this photo when I went to check on them!

Ry sleeping with his soft spot on his blankie!

Bath Time Experiments

My mom gave me the bath toys that I had as a child. They have square containers that fit inside one another that have different holes in the bottom to make a shower. Ry loves fitting one inside the other and it squishes the water out making a whistling noise. He laughs hysterically! (Boys and their eyelashes *sigh*)

Wrinkly feet and ...
wrinkly hands.

Behind the Scenes Photo Shoot Downtown Abbotsford

We asked a friend and fellow photographer to photograph our family and a few shots for our business with our camera. We also took some pics of Rhonda shooting behind the scenes and Clay took some pics through out the session as well. I don't know if you know how hard it is to get a good shot of photographer's kids. It takes a lot of chocolate eggs as bribery...

Peek a boo (only if they would peek at the same time...)


It's fun to run in traffic...
yell as loud as you can...


and be fascinated by ants.
At the end of the shoot, the boys were in the car, and they both said, "Look at our hands, Mom, they are black!?" EW!
