Hayden

Rob and I got a night out at the Banff Centre to see Hayden and Dan Mangan preform at the Eric Harvey Theatre.  Such a great show, especially by Hayden.  Can't wait for his new album to come out.

Then tonight I was giving the boys a bath and I was wearing my new shirt from the concert that has Hayden written on it and Liam asked me if I was going to marry Hayden.  I had to laugh. First I said no, I love daddy and I'm married to daddy then I asked him why he thought I would marry Hayden and said because I had a picture taken with him and I was wearing a shirt that says I love Hayden...but the shirt actually only says Hayden.  I got a good chuckle but reassured the boys I was only married to daddy.  :)

Grotto Canyon

It was a beautiful spring-like day today and although it was like pulling teeth to get these boys out the door, we finally did and it was worth it!  I took them up Grotto Canyon to explore some new ground.  They've been there before but not for quite some time so it was all fresh and exciting for them.  

They had so much fun hopping and jumping from rock to rock and pretending to be superheroes.  We even came up with a new superhero called "Mountain Man". And the song to the tune of spider man goes a little something like this: "mountain man, mountain man. Does whatever a mountain can.  He can climb and he can hike, he can scramble anything. Whatch out, here comes the mountain man!"  I may need to tweak it a bit but that's the first draft...😉. And Liam still prefers to be Spider-Man.

Happy Hiking!

Hand Print Mountain Craft

I was inspired to blog today after making this super cute craft with casey this afternoon....it's been a while since I've posted anything but maybe this will be my way of getting back into it again!

I recently painted the boys room and today I added a little finishing touch by creating a special wall to hang their artwork...

I've had these old frames sitting in the closet since I picked them up at a garage sale last summer.  They just needed to be painted and a string added to hang the art!  The letters I bought from micheals and mod podged on some scrapbook paper.

Happy crafting!

Mountain Boys

Did you know that since Liam and Casey turned four years old, they can do anything in whole wide world?  Yep, it's true.  They can even hike to the tip top of a mountain with their own two feet.

They may have to stop along the way for a little drink...

And a little pooh...

But they did it!!

Both the journey and the views were the reward...oh, and that chocolate bar we shared

This guy agreed, it's a good place to be.

Later Liam said he had so much fun hiking tunnel mountain that he wants to live on top of it.  :)

Happy Hiking,

Lindsay

Beachin' It

Loving that summer is finally here...like for real.  Last week we had a beach day in Kananaskis and Rob met us after work for a salmon fry dinner.

The lake is controlled by a dam and was very low.  The boys found a big mud hole along the shore and had a so much fun getting messy.  They couldn't stop laughing while they stomped about.  Casey's first question was "mommy is this pooh?"  Haha

Dinner was delicious and Liam discovered he liked roasted broccoli if he closed his eyes.  All I had to tell him was that broccoli is Daddy's favourite and he was all over it.

Life on the beach is pretty sweet.
