Sienna's 2nd Birthday

Some highlights of Sienna's 2nd Birthday.....lots of friends and family, a beautiful sunny day, a bouncer and playground for the kids and hot dogs and cake for everyone!!!

Our Little Soccer Star

Brody's first year of playing soccer! Personally I was very excited for this moment. Soccer runs in our blood since we are from Holland and I played it as a little girl myself as well as when I was older. Brody is 3 1/2, so some days he loves it and others he would rather pick the grass off the field...but as long as he has fun most of the time...I'm happy!!

He shoots....he scores!!!

And of course you always need your little sidekick cheering you on the sideline

GO BWODY GO!!

Lesson of the Day

Lesson Learned: Make sure your toddler "Princess",

who is playing dress-up, doesn't 'borrow' your purse.....

" Lippy like Auntie Kara!"

A Weekend in Banff

We spent a nice weekend in Banff with great friends (and family). It was a nice little getaway from the city and fun for the kids too!

The hotel had waterslides and an indoor playground. It was awesome!

Brody's first trip to the Dentist

Today was Brody's first trip to our dentist, Dr.Love. (i know it sounds more like he should be a marriage counselor, but he is a REALLY GOOD dentist) Mommy went first, so he had to be patient and wait for 45 minutes while I had my cleaning and check up. That way he could also 'check it out'. He was anxious to get in the chair when it was his turn...

(the pics are from my blackberry, so not great quality...) Good to Go!

He was opening his mouth like a dinosaur...his words...

He did awesome!! Listened very well and really liked the Dentist!
NO CAVITIES...and a new CARS toothbrush to take home, woohoo!!

Viva la Mexico!!

We just got back from Mexico last weekend...it was definitely a week in paradise! Scott's mom came with us as well and we all had an amazing time...how can you not with sun, sand and sea? The resort was awesome and there was lots to do with the kids. Brody and Sienna were swimming every day, playing at the resort's playground, and spending all their time with Nanny, Mommy and Daddy...can't wait to go again!!

Nanny and her grandbabies.

Me and my favorite man....

Brody was all about Nanny while she was here...he barely let her out of this sight!

The pool was definitely the favorite place to be!

Where's the beach?? Let's go!

Christmas is coming...

Brody and Sienna visiting with Santa...Brody was mesmerized, but Sienna was still a little iffy...next year she will be more excited I think....
Last weekend it was our turn to get into the Christmas spirit at the annual Husky Christmas Gala...we always look forward to it! We go with the Gale's and make it a family affair since 3 of us work there. It was fun as usual!!

We are looking forward to the busy times in the next couple of weeks. We wish everyone a wonderful Christmas...stay warm, safe and have fun!

Brody's 3rd Birthday!!

It has been FOREVER since I made a post...life is just insanely busy. Brody had his 3rd birthday on November 16th and we celebrated with a party at the Leisure Centre. The kids ran around in the jungle gym for an hour and then we had lunch and cake in the room next door. Everyone had a good time, it was fun, the kids blew off some steam and I'm sure all had a good nap when they got home! I would highly recommend this to other parents, especially for the price!!

Of course Opa had to go down the slides with the kids too!

Time for some presents!
