May already!!

I can't believe it's already May ,the time goes by so fast when your home with the kids. Everything is doing great,and we're doing a lot of things we wouldn't be able to do if I was working. May is going to be a great start of our summer/Spring, camping is just around the corner starting us off on the May long weekend.It will be the very first time we get to use our new trailer. I have been busy cleaning and organizing and adding away. While Dave and his Dad have been getting the brakes, hitch and new tires all done to be in the best shape to travel in. We just can't wait any longer!!!! But here is a few things we have been up to in the mean time :)

Happy Spring everybody!!

Hiking with Auntie Trisha and Cousin Erin and kids.

Noah all pooped out by the end of it,so cute!

Ella started Gymnastics in the new building they just built in Ladner.The viewing area is awesome for us moms and dads.

Her favorite part is for sure the trampoline time,nice bum drop girl!

Stickers,books and candy.She ended up giving almost all the candy and chocolate way to people. She's not much of a chocolate girl,good thing!

This is Noah smiling away ,when he should of been sleeping. Rosie checks and teething ...can't you tell!

LIFE CHANGE!

I have made a big decision to become a stay home mom for a few years. I feel like it's the right thing for me and the kids. Ella's out of daycare and home full time with me and Noah. I enjoy taking the kids to play groups around town and I'm meeting a lot of new family's and their kids. We have been going to parks, play groups and lunches with other family's at the home's. Everything to visiting family and friends,walking to grandmas work, going to the bird sanctuary, swimming at the local pool, feeding ducks ,gardening, walking around the crescent and picking up garbage(Ella walks around says"save the planet",hee),going to the library,jumping in puddles and chatting to the neighbors. We're out of the house by 9am most days ready for anything the day will give us. There are some days that are challenging but most days are really... great! I can't imagine even going back to work in a salon. But I could never stop doing what I'm doing. I love what I do and I believe I'm good at it. So I'm working for home, I may never go back into the salon atmosphere again. I want to work to become a home salon. The next house will have a salon space just for me. I can't wait! So you all can know call me a SAHM(stay at home mom).

April Fun!

Ella just woke up from a nap and her hair looked so beautiful ,I had to take a picture :
Easter egg time,Ella waited very patently for the colors to melt

This is the only way to color eggs all at once

Noah getting older and Ella's turning 3

Noah 9Months Old Ella almost 3, supporting her home team with Dad

He has 4 teeth. Rolls over and can sit on his own. He's a smiling, fun and playful little man. He loves to eat everything from A to Z. But mostly loves to have his big sister dance and play with him. Ella piles huge amounts of toys on top of him,he doesn't seem to mind ;) He's one that can't not miss his morning nap. Will after stay up for the rest of the day and be down to bed for as early some days as 5:30pm(but not always mama's). He's my growing boy and I really hope he doesn't grow to fast. He's my last baby and I'm going to love every moment.

My sweet Ella is turning 3 on April 8th. I can't believe how much she's become in only 3 short years. Ella is one focused and determined little girl. Her way or the highway. It's been a struggle having to learn she can't conquer the world at her age. She's my little ball of fire and she's all Mine! Can't wait to make you your mickey mouse pancakes the morning you turn 3. It's going to be a great year sweetie.
