Nathan turns 4!

Nathan turned a whopping 4 today (Sep 28) - but we had a little party for him on Saturday.


His fancy Lightning McQueen cake - turns out it is impossible to make red icing yourself - I used many little bottles of red dye and got runny pink icing. Luckily 4 year olds don't notice these things.... :).


Some of his guests... Rhonda (mom) and little Andie. She loved the party hat!


And so did Brooklyn sporting the double party hat look!


Here is me putting the cake down for candles to be blown out - surrounded by the party guests - Daniel, Brooklyn, Cassidy, and Nathan.

We had lots of fun and then Nathan announced he was ready for his next party on his actual birthday date... ugh!

Road trip to the Winnipeg Zoo

Rhonda (my neighbour) and I felt brave and took our kids to the zoo in Winnipeg!

We had a great day - the kids were not totally into the zoo but liked the monkeys and the bears. Then enjoyed lunch at the McDonald's playland :).


These were our 3 little monkeys lined up in their car seats for the ride - we set up a DVD player that all 3 could see, so they were pretty happy for the journey.


Daniel grabbed my sunglasses at one point and thought he looked pretty cool...


Momma and baby peacock - I don't think I have ever seen a baby peacock before!


This was a snow leopard having a nap on his/her back with feet in the air.

Riding around on our golf cart - these are the boys with the neighbour girls from both sides of our house. From right to left (front) Brooklyn, Tia with Daniel on her lap, Jayde with Nathan on her lap, and Cassidy in the back.

Daniel before and after his very 1st haircut. He is now 21-months old and looks like he is 4!

Fall 2008

I have been HORRIBLE and have not posted forEVER but here are some update pictures.

These are fall 2008 pictures when Nathan was 3 and Daniel was about 10.5 months or so. I took the pics out in our yard in Fredericton.
