cold & crisp!

omg - it is COLD outside! So...what could be better than bundling up as warm as possible and heading out for some fun? This is what our family did yesterday...the kids had a blast, and the only reason we decided to come home, is that we were worrying about poor Tucker's paws!

rock & roll boys!

I've wanted to get a shot like this of my boys forever...the only thing that would've been better would be for Parker to be playing the piano - but that would be a little harder to execute!

Sorry to the BC Rail worker who got mad at us - I do understand you take your job seriously...and I appreciate that!

my other baby...

ahh...isn't he precious?

two of a kind...

these two little buddies are so much alike it's almost freaky...thank God they live across the street from each other, and can play together pretty much daily!!!

a few weeks back...

My dad turned 70 this year, so we had a nice family birthday party for him...it was great! The boys favorite (only!) uncle came home for the weekend, and we spent all day Sunday out at our cabin, enjoying the great fall weather!

all boy!

the boys had just a bit too much fun today! We went for a hike in the dairyfields, and somehow, came upon a very muddy pond. One thing lead to another...and suddenly, they were in up to their knees! At one point, Parker had to dig his shoe out of about half a foot of mud! Needless to say, they were filthy...but on the way home, I was told I was the best mom ever...so, the laundry and the mud in my van are SO completely worth it! Thanks for hanging out with us Shannon, Logan & Corb...maybe next time, you can play in the mud too!

Happy Birthday Sweetie...

Wow...how is it you're suddenly 10 years old? Where has the time gone...

You bring SO much joy to my life everyday...you are such a kind and caring boy. I hope you have a wonderful birthday, and a great year...I love you so much...
