Friday June 21, 2013 - Last Art Class.

The boys took an art class on Friday mornings from the beginning of April to today.. It was great.. they got to do their own thing and make a mess and really try some things out.. It was fun and there was a park right next to the community center that it was in, so we made a morning of it most fridays and packed a big snack or a lunch too and had a great time.. 

Campbell of course was in his element and loved the class so much, he was hugely disappointed when they ended..  It was also the first class that he actually thanked me for signing him up for it.. and did so regularly.. It was super nice.. going to keep an eye out for more art classes for him.. when it was done for the summer.. he asked if I could sign him up for another art class but one that was every day.. Maybe an art camp next summer would be a good idea..

Sunday June 16, 2013 Daddy's Day and Thursday June 20, 2013 - Daddy covers daycare..

Daddy's Day..  The boys had made a lot of stuff for Daddy, some even at art class and they were super proud to give it to him.. He also got a gift card for his favourite hobby. :)

Daddy took today off to cover for daycare.. I think he enjoyed it as a change from work and so did the kids..
At the park with Daddy.. digging a big hole..

Miles taking a different route down the slide.

 and again.. ;)

Looks like Campbell almost got Daddy with his foot.

Making Miles work for his lunch.. it is Daddy's day off work.. :)

Having a great lunch at the park.. :)

They even played some soccer there after lunch.. A fun day for all of my boys.. :)

June - Soccer Purple Team photo.

Here is Campbell's soccer team photo for this year.. He was on the purple team and so was his buddy Danylko from one street over.. Danylko is next to the soccer ball sitting and Campbell is standing behind him.. They had two of the best coaches. It was a great season and Campbell really enjoyed it.. I think we might have a goalie on our hands though because in every game as soon as the other team touched the ball, Campbell was running for the net.. 

Too cute..

Sunday June 9, 2013 - Ready for the party

The boys all ready to PARTY!!

The birthday boy, Sam, blowing out his candles.

Beat out after all that jumping..

Saturday May 25, 2013 - Our Run for Pancreatic Cancer

Here are some pics from our run in honour of Grampie.. we raised just over $1000.00 for research..
The boys were awesome.. we look forward to doing it every year.

Miles in his shirt that is way to big, but he looked adorable..

Us at the end of the race..

Daddy and Campbell.. Daddy did almost the full 2k with Campbell on his shoulders.. after all the practising Campbell did for the run.. too cute.

Saturday May 18, 2013 - Our Mother's Day Fun

So every year for Mother's Day we spend the day downtown in the market, get pastries as a treat, run around in the park and then check out the tulips.. It wasn't nice weather at all on the Mother's Day weekend so we went this weekend instead.
Having our pastries on the bench in the park..

Campbell enjoying his pastry..

Miles loving the raspberries on his pastry.

Friday May 17, 2013 - Blast from the Past

Campbell was looking through the photo album of pics of him at 2 weeks old.. he was so thrilled looking at them.. That he was happy trying to recreate the pics with him and his panda bear.. oh my how he has grown up..

Monday May 6, 2013 - Fun at Big Sky Ranch

Just south of us here is Big Sky Ranch, it is a place that rescues animals and is majority run by volunteers.. It is free to go, but they have a donation box.. it is so nice.. the volunteers there are amazing  and will take you on a tour and tell you all about the animals, where they came from what their names are and what types of animals they have.. They have a crazy mix of animals.. you can bring your own carrots and apples to feed the animals with and a lot of them are super gentle.. The boys LOVE it there and it is nice to be able to go whenever, bring food to feed the animals and choose what to give as a donation.. instead of having a crazy high entrance fee..

Here is a video of the boys feeding one of the reindeer and petting it.. You can tell how much they love it by their faces.. enjoy..

Sunday May 5, 2013 - Busy But Fun Day..

Having some watermelon on the step next to our beautiful purple and white pansies.. Waiting for our friend to come and play.. a gorgeous day..

Then an afternoon birthday party for Ewan..

Saturday May 4, 2013 - Grand Opening for Pancreatic Cancer Canada Office

Sunday April 28, 2013 - Campbell Loves Sprinklers Now Video

It finally was a warm day and we put the sprinkler out to water some new grass seed we had put out.. But Campbell decided he would like to run thru.. I thought why not.. and was lazy and didn't get his trunks or anything.. Needless to say that he was soaked in the end.. Miles is still not too keen on sprinklers but neither was Campbell at his age.. he will probably grow out of it too. 

Sunday April 28 2013 - Miles riding his balance bike Video

Here is Miles really riding his balance bike on the road.. Campbell has been doing this for a while.. took Miles a little longer to catch on to the balance idea but it is amazing that he has it now.. I think..

Monday April 22, 2013 - Campbell being comfortable???

Campbell tells me that this is a comfortable way to watch a movie.. I have my doubts but he looks pretty happy..

Monday April 8, 2013 - Getting Good With the Balance Bikes Video

Video of the boys having a huge amount of fun with their new balance bikes.. they have been a huge hit.. they each got one for their birthdays.. and as soon as the weather was nice enough that the road was clear of snow, they were out trying them out and having fun.. 

Our front lawn having a bit of a hill is as you can see a lot of fun..

March 23, 24, 2013 - Weekend of J's Birthday and Oma's visit

Oma came to visit on Saturday and stayed that night.. She brought some treats early from the Easter bunny.. Here they are putting together the toy from a very large Kinder egg.

Out for supper at Burgers on Main to celebrate Daddy's birthday and Oma's visit. The waiter was nice enough to bring out two big pieces of cake on a plate because it was a birthday.. He didn't sing though.. ;)

Sunday morning Daddy opened his gifts with Campbell and Miles to help of course.

Campbell explaining to J who the people in the ornament are.. That's you and that's Mommy.

Outside for a bike ride and walk, even though it was COLD!! but we had to try to make it seem like spring somehow.. can you see all that snow.. YUCKO!

 On our way back home.. didn't go too far cause it was COLD!

Still trying to make it seem like spring, the kids wanted to swing.. Hard to push them cause the snow had me standing high in relation to the swing.. ;) but they had fun..

 Miles loves the swing..

Campbell and J played some ball hockey too.. "HE SCORED!!"

After supper we lit some candles in one of the monster cupcakes and sang to Daddy.. Fun filled weekend.. ;)
