In Class Fieldtrip

The joy of being a stay at home mom is that I get to help out at the school and go on field trips and I am so thankful for that.  This is an in school field trip that I got to help out with.

I am pretty sure we were learning about rocks and minerals.  So much fun.

Happy Birthday Ry Ry

Every year seems to fly by.  I can't believe that Rylan is now 8 years old.  This is such a special birthday and he is so excited to finally be baptized.  Both Grandmas came out for this special day.

Rylan the man of many faces.  LOL

Daddy got the cake done as you can tell by the Ry Ry.  That is what Jamie calls him.

Who couldn't love that cheesy grin.  You are such a sensitive and caring boy.  You make us so proud of you in the choices that you make and the example you are to those around you.

I hope that, that cheesy grin stays forever.  You are so special and just like each of your brothers make our family complete.  Love you more.  ;)

Our New Bundle

It is just me or has winter come early this year.  LOL

At least we know that baby K will be all snug as a bug.

Rylan Skating

It is that time of year again when the boys get to go with their classes to skate.  We are always a little rusty at the start.

Not really being a big skater myself I am glad that my boys have this opportunity.

So handsome and doing so great.

Our First Walk

There is nothing better than going for a walk in the crisp fall air.  All the army games you want to play and a whole lot of exploring.  So much fun.  This was our first family walk with our new little addition.

Family picture on the bridge.

Did I mention that it was brisk.  LOL  This little guy was so well bundled.

We were so happy with the stroller that we brought back with us from the Czech Republic this summer.  And baby seemed to really enjoy the ride ;)

Stefan decided that he needed a walking stick.  This one was a little too big.  LOL

I love being outside with my boys.

We never leave home without protections.  LOL  I hope that this never grows old.  I love having boys.  LOL

Our New Baby

So here we are back at it again.  Yes, we have decided after a lot of talking that we are going to foster again.  The boys are so excited and I think Stefan is the most  because today we welcomed our new little baby boy.  Mr. K.  He is just two days old and straight out to of the hospital.

It has been a long time since we have had such a little baby in our home.  Although he isn't that little as he weighs over 8lbs.

What have we gotten ourselves into!!!  We know, someone that needs a whole lot of love something of which we have plenty of.  So welcome Mr. K

Hike/Canmore and Kananaskis

I was so excited to get away for a couple of days with the boys and our friends the Hartnell's.  We went down south to Canmore and did some hiking in Kananaskis.  Here the boys are getting ready to go.

I can't remember what the name of this hike was but but it was great.  Here is our group.

Along the way the boys found some great places to hide.  Don't eat us Mr. Troll.  LOL

Stopping for a snack and drink break.  Little did we know that the first part of this hike was all up hill.  LOL

This pictures shows a little bit of the climb that we had to make.  LOL

We finally made it to the top.

The view was amazing.  Of course we thought that we would take a short cut down which ended up being a lot more tricky than the way up.  So much fun.  LOL

We then made our way back to Calgary to stop at Pete's drive in for burgers and then to go to our favorite place to eat and watch the planes take off.  Little did we know how cold it was going to be.  We didn't last long out there.  LOL

The next day our friends had to head back so we made out way to Canmore to do some more exploring and to enjoy the beauty of the mountains.  Of course you can't walk beside a river with out throwing some rocks in.

Of course climbing up under the bridge is just as much fun.  LOL  This was a great way to spend the weekend.  With the boys that I love so much.
