The determination in his face

His face shows it all. I dont care that this photo is OOF, its awesome it captured the moment perfectly!

Big throw from my lil man!

He is SUCH a boy. Im sure everyone thinks that about their boy, for me having a boy and a girl so close I really see their differences and similarities. Its awesome. I love having a boys-boy and a girls-girl hehe.

Something about this

I dont know what, but I love it. I wish it were our home in the background, eh whatever its fine, its our neighbourhood. Yes I just love it!

Love this of him

Love love love this of him.
Its always about his tongue.

Fun

Long road

Its funny it can mean so many things!
I love that both my kids are gazing off into the beautiful sky, trees and water.
I just love this photo. It may just be inspiration for a photo wall as the centre photo. Hmmm we'll see! hehe
I do love it.
So yea a long road. Ah some days I could scream. Honestly?, Yes!
Some days are tougher than others, its amazing that a 2 and 3 year old can get the most of you. Gosh they are trying some days. Like tonight. We've had a couple really busy weeks and they haven't exactly been going to bed on time. Tonight however after having many trying moments of selective hearing. My sweet boy fell asleep on the couch, completely zonked! It was adorable. It is then I was reminded just how awesome life is. Sure some moments may be tough, but it is sooooo worth it. I wouldn't want my life any other way. It is exactly what I always dreamed of ... and darn was it worth the wait!
As for my health... eh its another day.

Isn't she sweet

My sweet little girl. Who literally sat there for a minute before jumping down. LOL. I am biased, I know. But she is just gorgeous! hehe
I could spend everyday down here.

Gorgeous!

Let me live here. Please!
This is so gorgeous. Pure nature. So quiet and relaxing.
I was in awe of their reaction, they just stood there and listened and watched for a good minute or more. Then were off to explore.

Down by the water

They were completely at home and in awe. It was like a calmness came over all of us and it was just... us. Awesome I have to say. I love this location it perfectly suits me. ;)

Ah by the water side

It was so peaceful. If we could live next to this and be able to visit here everyday I soooo would. We had a blast "looking for fishies" lol . SO much fun enjoying the fresh spring air.

Loving the sunshine

How I wish I was able to get this shot without the neighbours house in the back ground... however I didn't. I do love it just the same. She is in motion.

The kids and I had a blast outside after school today, we played, ran around, chased the dog, played in Carsons 'house' and I love love love all of the photos I captured.

Hehe I had a bit of an "Ah Ha" moment today. Awesome. <3

Ok mom I'll sit for you!

This happens once in a blue moon, I said 'come here buddy sit by the flowers', he says 'ok' and does it... me... slow to get over in front of him - basically shocked lol.
Love it!

I can reach the tree

He was so happy to see the green buds on the leaves, he's been asking when the leaves are going to come back.

Mama please

She wanted a snack, which I was... yes... holding in my hand. Ah a wee little bribery didn't hurt anyone. ;)
I LOVE her eyes in this photo!

Beautiful garage eyes

Ah yummy, my sweet little girl, gorgeous warm sun light, her beautiful blue eyes peering out at me from the shade of the garage.
*Love*

Beauty of Spring

Enjoying the Spring Sunshine

It wasn't hot, however it also wasn't snowing - that is better than what we can say for yesterday - YUCK! Im done with the snow. We want to see green grass and sunny skies. I looked out late this morning - after a very lazy morning together and breaky made by daddy - to see a gorgeous rich blue sky. After naps the hubby, kids and I piled into the car and hit up the park for a picnic, walk and play time!

We had a blast. Honestly one of the best family day's we've had in a while. I had even more fun capturing these moments and then... playing hard! Oh ya the mama-rotzi can run, swing and slide! It was a blast :)

Enjoy the photos... we had FUN!

Tea Mady?

Cute!

Fruit. Tea. My Lil Man.

A manly tea party - without the kettle, with a juice tumbler - precious memories!

Fruit. Tea. My Baby Girl.

I always wanted a boy and a girl. My boy first to watch over my sweet girl. I also always used to dream of an amazing man to come and show me what real love was. Its amazing when your dreams come true.

Love you!

Self Portrait - Enjoying the sunshine

I had a great time at the park with my family today. We had a picnic, enjoyed some fresh fruit, cheese and crackers. Took a walk with the kids, looked for fish, captured some memories - - - and then... played hard! I took over the swings while hubby the play set and all 4 of us ran and had a blast laughing and playing.

It was one of the best family day's we've had yet I have to say!

Finished with dinner with my parents, awesome sister, Grandma and Aunt and Uncle. Awesome day. So many memories. <3

Writing

How awesome is this! Totally. Funny the little things I get so excited for now that I have kids. It just made my heart all warm and fuzzy seeing how proud of himself he was. <3 So proud of him.

So today is a crappy day, weather wise... so the kids and I are having fun around the house and Ive been puttering around organizing. With the kids toys everywhere it was time for more organizing, they've been wanting to play with toys in their room lately so the little ones are going up there and the big stuff is staying down in the rec room. Todays the perfect day... its too chilly out for me today LOL.

Little Man Writing!

He's been practicing his writing skills at home so Ive been writing out words so that he can trace the letters and help him figure it out. He loved it!

FUN Towels

So the kids were SO lucky to get hand me downs from their cousins this week. The girl stuff we are passing on to Miss A so she can use it very soon (she'll LOVE going through it just as C did - it was like Christmas). In the bags were these two towels... well the kids just LOVE them! They had to wear them after their bath last night. So I took advantage hehe.

Hmmm great minds think alike...

LOL This was minutes - if not seconds - before they sprang up into JUMP mode and went crazy on our bed haha. Ah to be a lil one!

Bedtime Kisses...

hehe I think they watch Mommy and Daddy a lil too much ;) Its so cute though. They do the kisses, hug and high five routine - even with each other. How precious! We just adore the relationship with our siblings so its important for us to encourage their love for each other as well as space for each other.
