Zoë finished her puzzle

Zoë keeps amazing me with puzzles, she can do quite hard ones without any help. She can see just a little spot on one puzzle that matches to another quite easily. She totally forgot the words at the end of her abc's and decided to match the tune with other words so no one would notice.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

A Happy Family

Zoë loves to sing. She knows many songs and sings them constantly throughout the day. In this video she dressed herself, and didn't want the video to stop, so she made a different version of the song at the end by repeating the last sentence twice.

We had a surprise anniversary party yesterday for Lee's parents at our house. They thought we were having a graduation party for Lee and were quite surprised walking into the room. We had a ham dinner, funeral potatoes, caesar salad, buns, lots of fruit and vegetables, beans and a few jello salads. I thought it turned out really good and seemed like everybody had fun. 

Dreyton was having fun going in circles at the kitchen island showing off his goggles The fun we had at midnight after the party.

Soccer Boy

Dreyton just learned to play soccer with the ball, notice Zoë's attitute in the background "I don't want too" which she says ALL the time, thanks Jayden!

Dreyton is such a climber. He climbs up chairs, couches, tables, ottomans etc. It doesn't help that he is VERY accident prone as well. This is a video of him climbing the kitchen table chairs, he usually climbs onto the table and runs around as fast as he can too but wouldn't do it while the camera was out.

Dreyton's 1st Birthday

Dreyton turned one while I was in Utah, I felt really bad leaving him but I know that it doesn't make much of a difference to him if we celebrate a day later. This is his 1st year slideshow for him, for some reason after each video clip it goes blank for 5 seconds so just ignore that as I was tired of trying to figure out why.

Dreyton Walking

I just realized i haven't put a video up of Dreyton walking.

Only time I was able to get a video of him taking a few steps was while he was fussy


Dreyton double wave hello, my kids always seem to have a wave of there own.

Zoë and Dreyton love playing with each other (most of the time)

My crazy daughter

Zoë didn't want to eat dinner, so she decided to be our entertainment instead. She can get her brother to giggle so easily, so cute to watch them together. The pictures look funky because I accidentally left it on ebay mode, and they are in there diapers as we like to do that once in awhile if its a messy dinner and they're having a bath afterwards.

Jayden's Birthday

Dreyton crawling

I totally forgot to get a video of Dreyton crawling normally, so here it is. For some reason when I try to take videos of my babies they start to get really fussy.

Canada Day

So.. we were bad parents once in 2 years, not bad. We had our kids stay up till Midnight tonight, but it was well worth it.

Lee had to work today but afterwards we definetely had a fun Canada Day. When he got off work we went straight to some friends place to visit, we were supposed to have a bbq there but we were not able to make it on time. Once we left there we went to a APX bbq, it was a lot of fun, Zoë just ran around the whole time and Dreyton was just getting passed around by other APX girls, he LOVED the attention.

We then went to our friends Curtis and Ashley's highrise to watch the fireworks and to see the waterfall off of the high level bridge. It was the most amazing view as it was on the 11th floor and facing downtown Edmonton and the river valley. Zoë LOVED watching the fireworks, she was sure yelling and singing as loud as she could so the 100 plus other people on the other balcony's could hear her.



Just a word of advice, DON'T order the special brownie batter blizzard, Lee and I had about 3 bites and were ready to puke, here's a picture to have an idea of what it is. It was pretty much drinking chocolate syrup and brownie batter, not sure where the ice cream was.

Zoë my mimicker

Zoë has started doing this when she sees me eating, apparently this is how I eat.

Discovery Wildlife Park

My mom and I and the kids made an impromptu visit to Discovery Wildlife Park on our way home from meeting in Red Deer.

Zoë was more scared of the lady riding the quad then the Kodiak and Grizzly Bears. This bear starred in Dr. Dolittle 1 and 2.
