bouncing boy

Recently Max has discovered he can jump. So I decided to set up the mini tramp and let him really jump.

here is a sample of his skills.

Jared's Birthday

Well just to show you that we do care about you Jared, I thought I would post a few pictures from you birthday celebration!

Jared's only request for his birthday dinner was mashed potatoes (because he also had a trip to the dentist that day). So we had some chicken and asparagus with the mashed potatoes.



For his birthday dessert/cake I made a pretty tasty cranberry cheesecake!



Max Ev and I care about your birthday! I love you.

January

yup, doing a whole month in one post.

So what did we do?

well, we:

put together an entertainment center


Ev started eating cereal


Stewart came to town, so him and I went to the CN Tower


where we looked through the glass floor. The one that we are standing on in the picture above


while at the tower I helped pull on one end of the rope


and Stew pulled on the other end


we even went to to very tippy top


Max asked Stewart to read him a story, and he was kind enough to accommodate his request


oh, and Max turned Two!


yes I turned 33 but nobody cares about that :)

and that is our month in review

year in review

another year and another "life poster".

It's awesome to see an entire years worth of moments on a single page.

Merry Christmas

We never got around to mailing out Christmas Cards this year, because… well, we umm; oh yes, we wanted to help save the planet and reduce waste and our carbon footprint and all that earth loving stuff. Pfft, you probably thought it was because we are slackers and maybe a bit unorganized and never made it to the post office to mail then even though they were all filled out and in the envelopes sitting on the counter and Carrie had asked me to mail them and I never did. Nope it's definitely the first thing

Here is your Christmas Card

M&E

The photos were done by someone else, but I did go the layout (does that count). Anyway, we like it and thought we would share this with any of you that actually read this blog. :)

it never gets old

a moment in time

Do you ever wish you could freeze moments in time? Well you can't. So what I have done is take photos of life as it passes by. Here are two photos of our life at the moment.

Max is making progress in freeing himself of diapers.





Evelyn is learning to sit up with the assistance of her Bumbo chair

What should I eat?

At least that's what I imagine he is thinking while looking in the refrigerator.

October

Thought we'd get the whole month in in one post.

We'll start with trip to Southbrook Pumpkin Patch, where Max took a ride on the SPP bus. We came here last year and enjoyed it so we thought we'd come back again


A quick look at the gigantic tractor tires. Next year I'm sure Max will be climbing all over these.


From there it's back home to carve our pumpkins. The boy did more licking of the pumpkins then he did carving or gutting.


The finished pumpkins. There are only 2, the big one has the crying face (Evelyn) and the triangle eyes (Me). The small one is Max and Carrie didn't make her face because…


Getting ready to go out "Trick or Treating". A shot of the girl sitting around waiting.


The boy with his moustache and goatee


Here they are in their costumes


After visiting the lobbies of both buildings, Max and I went out and hit up the townhomes for a little extra loot.


Check out the haul.


That's it.

Hope the rest of you soup blogger post your Halloween excitement too. yes that means you cough cough Trish, Amy, Dee, Heather, Sarah, other Sarah cough. :)
