Professional Pictures

We took the 4 cousins to Pogopix to get some pictures done. Dayna, My mom, and I were all exhausted by the end of the photoshoot. Our boys were super easy but our two toddler girls on the other hand were a bit challenging.








Back home

She gave up on the horsey ride, decided to get him from the other side

Movie Night

So I decided last night to surprise my hubby with a movie theatre night at home. The kids and I took all the toys from the playroom and put them in a corner and then put some sheets up at the two entry ways to make it a closed off room.

Since Lee doesn't get home till later the kids and I had a movie night watching The Lion King. They had so much fun in there "fort".

This was at the end of the "kid" movie night, they were very tired 1/2 way through the movie.


After the kids were in bed I souped the room up a bit with store bought pizza, chips, pop etc. and a bunch more pillows.

These were the four movies he got to choose from, he chose Mama's Boy

Lee loves Mike Ikes so I got him some as well

More pictures of Calaway Park

I actually went to Calaway Park twice this week. The first time was with Lee's family and the second was with my family. My sister-in-law Erin and I are both big picture takers, so it was a shock that we had both forgotten our cameras when we went. Luckily she had a camera cellphone so she could take a couple.

Zoë with her two boy cousins, Tighe and Dominique on the car ride.

This wasn't at Calaway Park, but it was a cute picture of cousin Tighe holding Dreyton at Nana and Pops house. They are such great helpers with Zoë and Dreyton.

Calaway Park

Zoë and Jayden on the boats at Calaway Park

Similar to the Strawberry twirly ride, Dayna was nausious after that ride.

A slow boring ride, Zoë was laying down saying night nights on it.

A big outdoor play area they both LOVED running around on.

Busy week

The kids and I have been in Calgary this week as Lee is incredibly busy with a 3 week compressed course and school, so we made it easier for him to study and to get some downtime. Here's some pictures so far, more to come soon...

Jayden and Zoë on the swings at Mckenzie Lake, it was quite humerous after the park as Zoë fell in this massive mud puddle. We were going to get a picture but Zoë was in hysterics as she does not like to be dirty.

I found Zoë hiding in a corner with my mascara, she knew mascara goes on her eyes.

I love Grandma's house as Dreyton can't go underneath the couch. This is him asleep exhausted from trying to get under.

This pool was 50% off at superstore so we couldn't resist buying it. It was such a hot day today and Zoë loved going on the slide and playing with the spray from the Giraffe's mouth.

Zoë loved that it was a soft spray so she kept putting her head underneath it.

Getting Pampa all wet after each time she went down the slide

My boy is driving me crazy

As soon as I put Dreyton down to roll around he goes straight for underneath the couch, no matter where he is in the living room.

The greatest place!

We found a great recreation center in Sherwood Park, it was a tonne of fun and a great price.

Dreyton is my giggler, he LOVED the waves.

There was a fun lazy river you could float down

Mommy with her adorable babies

Lee cooling off

Dreyton zonked out, it was great to find that they had free strollers to use in the pool area for this exact reason.

Zoë playing with the balls that were floating around

Daddy and Zoë heading to the hot tub

Zoë not ready to leave after the hot tub. A fun little kiddy splash area


After the pool we found a fun play area
