Brandon has hit the age where he can join Owen in gymnastics at Horizon Gymnastics Club. We are all very excited as the last few months Brandon seems more interested wanting to join into class and less patience watching the class. At the beginning of May a new session of gymnastics started and lucky for Brandon […]

San Francisco – Day 3
San Francisco proved hotter than expected so on day three we started out with shorts and sunscreen as there was a lot of sweating and a little buring happening on day 2. We did the hop on hop off tour offered by opentopsightseeing.com on the double decker bus. This is a great way to check […]
San Francisco – Day 2
So I did not manage to get a post up yesterday because it was a hectic day and we did not have dinner until 9:00pm and by the time we got back to the hotel it was bed time. A Miller Light and a “few” Peach Bellinis from the Cheesecake Factory did us in. Our […]
Potty Training Update
Owen has moved to wearing big boy underwear — evenings and weekends! A couple Saturdays ago Grandma K and I took Owen and Brandon for groceries in the evening — outside of our usual Sunday routine; Sunday was Mother’s Day and I didn’t want to do groceries on my day, anyway…We were in Wal-Mart looking […]
Vehicles — It’s a love hate relationship
So Sean and I have been talking on and off for sometime about looking at purchasing a new vehicle or another vehicle. While we love our Mazda Tribute it’s feeling a little small with the two of us, two boys and a dog. We know a minivan is the next step. I know for myself […]
Weddings and Adventure Bus’
So life has gotten in the way of keeping my posts up-to-date, slowly I am catching up. Mid April Sean had his first wedding to shoot and I went along with him to help with carrying around the equipment, be a second shooter, give some tips and support. It was a wonderful opportunity for both of […]
Bowling outside, is spring here?
At the beginning of April, the weather was improving slowly and it seemed that spring was finally here. We ventured out onto the deck and pulled out the Mickey Mouse bowling set Owen received as a birthday gift last year from Uncle Derek, AuntyColette and Zoe. We set it up on the deck and Owen and Brandon […]
One Step Closer…
As all parents know, potty training is an ongoing process. We’ve been working very diligently with Owen in regards to potty training and this week Owen has shown some definite progress. He has pooped in the big potty a few times – such a wonderful less messy thing — and he has told us a few […]
The Easter Bunny, The Easter Bunny!
I started this post prior to Easter and now I find myself finishing it up days after Easter….sigh, this is the life with kids! Easter was fast approaching. Owen is old enough now to understand, to some extent, about the Easter Bunny. The week leading up to Easter we talked about the Easter Bunny to Owen and Brandon; we […]
An Eco-Weekend!
We had a very productive and eco-friendly weekend. After dropping Owen and Dad off at gymnastics Brandon and I took some of the boys baby toys and clothes to Once Upon A Child. This is a wonderful place — they take your gently used baby toys, clothes, really any baby items, sort through them and then give you cash right away — […]
