Step By Step

The boys have reached another milestone. They're learning to walk with their own two feet. Those first little steps are so very exciting.  Liam took his on the eve of his birthday and Casey just one week later.  It's so cute to watch those wabbly little legs go. 

I couldn't be more proud of my two little walkers.

One on One

The other day while Liam and Daddy were having a little snooze, Casey and I decided to go have some fun at the park.  After all, it was such a nice day and we just weren't tired (or at least Casey wasn't). 

I do charish spending those rare one-on-one times with the boys.

The Party

Busy times these days with a wedding coming up in a couple weeks, but I have finally found a chance to share with you some special moments from the boys birthday party last week...



The birthday boys! Liam and Casey

Their birthday cake!

It was a really fun BBQ with lots of good friends to celebrate our little guys turning one.  

Happy Birthday Casey & Liam!

My babies were born on this night last year.  Casey was a mere 4 and half pounds and Liam just under 5.  It was love at first (and second) sight.  I've never really thought about a birthday before as I have this one.  It was always just about having a party and eating cake... until today, looking back on my experience of the birth of my babies.  For me today is about so much more.  It's the day I became a Mother and brought these two beautiful boys into this world.  It's the best day ever.

Casey & Liam

 



Here's wishing my babies a Happy Happy Birthday!

The Simple Things In Life

There are two things these boys live for; being naked and cardboard boxes.  Put the two together and you've got yourself some happy little babies.

How simple is that?

Hope you can find some joy in the simple things in life today too.

Have a good day!

May Long Weekend

Our May long weekend didn't involve our traditional first camping trip of the season, due to avoiding the crowds and the fact that there's a fire ban in Alberta right now...but there will be plenty more weekends for camping this summer.  The highlight of my weekend however, was getting out on the bikes.  I've been riding every day since Rob attached the Chariot to my bike.  A few months ago we traded in our old stroller for a chariot carrier to allow us to get out on the bikes and use it as a stroller as well.  It's been a great investment.

Ahhhh the sweet feeling of freedom.  Last year I was pretty tied down with my teeny little babies, but this summer will be much different. 

It was a beautiful warm sunny Saturday, so we loaded the boys into the chariot and rode the paved trail into town.  It was my first time biking the trail to town and I was so impressed by the beauty of it. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the gorgeous mountain town I live in.

We worked up a bit of an appetite after the journey in, so we picked up some goodies at our favourite cafe and headed for River Side Park.  We had a nice little picnic and then met up with some friends.

Looking forward to more days like this.

A Cozy Day

Last week while the grass soaked up the rain outside, I soaked up some lovin' from my boys as we shared some cuddles and had a nice cozy day inside.

And it wouldn't be a cozy day inside without books...

Enjoy the weekend!

Fun In The Sun

The sun has been shining down on us this week.  We've been loving every minute of it and enjoying all the things that the warm weather brings...

Bare feet, shorts and picnic's in the park...
 

Dipping our toes in the water...

Bike rides in the mountains...

Slurping up some tasty watermelon...

And we're just getting started!

Hope everyone is getting out and having some good times in the sun!

A Brunch And A Bolder

It was a great Saturday.  We hosted a lovely brunch potluck; a new tradition our group of friends have started. It works out great for us folks that have babies (mornings are less crazy than evenings).  The spread consisted of scrambled eggs with roasted veggies, oatmeal pancakes with strawberries and whip cream, turkey sausages, banana bread and a beautiful fruit platter...and lets not forget about the sangria's to wash it all down with.  Mmmm....

The rain held off, so in the afternoon we grabbed our climbing shoes and  headed to the school playground that has a great little climbing wall.  Yes, I know we're a little old to be playing on a playground, but this climbing wall is actually pretty impressive.  We had a fun little boulder session and a suprisingly good work out too.

After a while the boys had enough of sitting and watching us climb...

So we gave them a try too.  I think we have two little climbers in the making.

Such a fun day!  :)
