Day 151 - July 24th, 2012

Emerson playing on the floor at my mom and step dad's. He seemed mad at me when we got back on sunday, he wouldn't look at me for a while but he warmed up again after about 20 minutes.

Day 150 - July 23rd, 2012

The view of the lake, spent lots of time just sipping drinks and dangling our feet in the water

Day 149 - July 22nd, 2012

The view from the dock, this is the main cabin and boat house. The cabin we were in is the one to the left. There was another one that belonged to the family off to the right.

Day 148 - July 21st, 2012

Our cabin that we shared with 2 other friends that came up with us

Day 147 - July 20th, 2012

This was taken up in Manipogo, MB. We got invited to go up to my husband's coworkers family cabins and I tell ya, what a weekend! On the way up we dropped the kids off with my mom and step dad for the weekend and then we kicked back and relaxed for 2 wonderful days. We fished, swam, boated, ate, drank, and visited with some of the most hospitable people I have ever met. We missed the kids but it was hard to say goodbye to this place. We made lots of new friends and were invited back again, can't wait for our next trip up there.

Day 146 - July 19th, 2012

We had a water main break on our street when I woke up yesterday morning, what a racket the backhoe made when breaking through the pavement. The kids had fun watching it all happen.

Day 145 - July 18th, 2012

I didn't have anything else for today so here is one from the fireworks...totally did not turn out but it still looks so cool

Day 144 - July 17th, 2012

Jackson hanging off of the treadmill...at least someone has time to use it!

Day 143 - July 16th, 2012

Jackson's turn...goofy kid

Day 142 - July 15th, 2012

My hubby being a good sport when Jackson wanted him to wear a pullup as a hat

Day 141 - July 14th, 2012

made these for the kids for lunch and I rather enjoyed them too. It's just cornbread batter and cut up chunks of hot dogs put into a mini muffin pan but it was still nice to have something different that a plain old hot dog.

Day 140 - July 13th, 2012

I taught him how to get down off of the couch feet first and now I can't keep him on the couch, little stinker is far too adventurous

Day 139 - July 12th, 2012

The trainer spun the dog around while he was biting down on the frisbee, Jackson was in awe.

Day 138 - July 11th, 2012

Superdog!

Day 137 - July 10th, 2012

Caught the dog show at the X on saturday, this dogs name was roho. They were all really talented dogs, the kids enjoyed watching them as much as I did.

Day 136 - July 9th, 2012

More from the X...enjoying lunch from the oakville community club booth. I love the look on Korbin's face, so intense! Must have been one darn good ham and cheese sandwich.

Day 135 - July 8th, 2012

Took the kids to the portage x. Our favorite part? the petting zoo :)

Day 134 - July 7th, 2012

Having fun with his brother's toys, just wait till he actually gets to play at the train table. It shall be grand!

Day 133 - July 6th, 2012

Delighted to be playing cars and trains with his big brother, Jackson

Day 132 - July 5th, 2012

Someone is growing up way too fast

Day 131 - July 4th, 2012

Best Buddies

Day 130 - July 3rd, 2012

My little Emerson is getting quite brave lately, he climbs down off the couch and stands quite proudly against the couch...until he tumbles over...which he did the second after I took this pic. He was fine though...no babies were harmed in the taking of this photo

Day 129 - July 2nd, 2012

Had you told me 3 years ago that I would find my passion in woodworking I probably would have laughed at you...but indeed I do love it. I'm slowly working on this set for a customer when I get an hour here and there.

Day 128 - July 1st, 2012

I did NOT get any good fireworks pics. Maybe if I had a tripod I could have but I was standing quite a ways away, zoomed in really far, and holding a wiggly baby that was trying to grab the camera. This one isn't clear at all, I just liked the squiggles.

Day 127 - June 30th, 2012

Emerson and I chilled in the gazebo while his big brothers played in the little pool, he's so smiley...most days :)

Day 126 - June 29th, 2012

Korbin and Jackson having a blast in their little pool

Day 125 - June 28th, 2012

Spiral hot dogs for lunch today. He is the link where the idea came from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyieI2bxyIk&feature=share

Day 124 - June 27th, 2012

this was taken in the butterfly garden at the zoo. I love how the wings look like pantyhose fabric up close, such neat colors and patterns.

Day 123 - June 26th, 2012

fed this little guy, and about 5 of his friends, some raisins while we were at the zoo. They have taken over the zoo grounds but they are cute and friendly so we didn't mind the company.

Day 122 - June 25th, 2012

Jackson dipping his toes in the water. The older 2 had a swim with us when we got back from clear lake, the first time for Jackson and the second time for Korbin (he tried it once last year). They both came in willingly, last year they were both scared of the pool so this is new for them. And don't worry, when the pool is not in use the ladder is out so they kids can't fall in accidentally.

Day 121 - June 24th, 2012

Saved this little guy from a certain doom in our pool skimmer that is on the pump. He eventually dried off and flew away.

Day 120 - June 23rd, 2012

Emerson seems to be in a hurry to grow up, last week it was the rocking back and forth on his knees and now it's wanting to stand against everything and he even started taking steps when you hold his hands.

Day 119 - June 22nd, 2012

Leaving the beach at Clear Lake, it got a little windy and cooled off a bit too much but it was still nice. We had lunch on the boardwalk and the kids played in the sand

Day 118 - June 21st, 2012

my sweet little Emerson <3

Day 117 - June 20th, 2012

Mark this one on your calendars, Korbin is actually not wearing socks and he's getting dirty! 2 things he normally hates.

Day 116 - June 19th, 2012

The always beautiful clear lake

Day 115 - June 18th, 2012

Sunny blue skies on the way to clear lake, leaving the rain behind us

Day 114 - June 17th, 2012

Won't be long before he is crawling, he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth all the time now

Day 113 - June 16th, 2012

"What do you mean I can't eat the grass?"

Day 112 - June 15th, 2012

Me and Emerson outside on the front step while the big kids were playing with their new toy (Plasma car)

Day 111 - June 14th, 2012

This was taken inside the new butterfly garden in the zoo

Day 110 - June 13th, 2012

I ordered this cool new toy called a Plasma car. I saved up my pampers points from all the diapers from the last few years and this was completely free, even the shipping. score!

Day 109 - June 12th, 2012


My silly boys

Day 108 - June 11th, 2012



Saw this little baby bird in the weeds beside the tiger cage at the zoo. He was so tiny, I only spotted him because he fluttered his wings a bit

Day 107 - June 10th, 2012

took the kids to assniniboine park zoo for a nice afternoon. It was perfect weather, not too hot, not too cold

Day 106 - June 9th, 2012

the boys playing blocks with Emerson. The challenge was to build the biggest tower before Emerson knocked it down.

Friday, June 8, 2012

Day 105 - June 8th, 2012

Another one from last week's trip to assiniboine park. I did not know that banana trees flowered, it would be neat to see it in bloom.
