Bampi's lil' Birthday party!

Bampi quietly turned 60 on Thursday!!

Of course we remembered to celebrate!

 Pizza supper!!!

 Lots of hugs!

 and of course lots of silliness :)

 Getting ready to blow out the candles....

 it was pretty intense.

 and of course a little Doc McStuffins

 They get to do whatever they want :)

They love their Bampi...

These little cuties....

Books.  I wish that I could take all the credit for their love of books, but I don't think I can.  The M & M's just have a LOVE of books.  We have been going to the public library as a fun outing every week.  We don't even participate in the little programs they offer, Matea and her helper just pick a giant stack of books and "read" them, and then we bring them home and share them with Mack when he gets home after school, it's a super fun time 

Oh Asher....a little update on our little big man.  He is climbing....everything.  Our kitchen chairs now lay on their sides in the kitchen or trapped behind the table where he can't access them.  So I guess you could say that we are still working on our listening skills :)  And he is chatting up a storm....he is trying to answer questions and let us know what's going on with him, but the majority of his words just sound like "B-A-L-L" when he is really trying to tell us something he says ball really slow, it's so cute it's funny :)

Happy girl

Hmmm....always thinking

Dog Park Fun!

He looks grossed out by something....I wish he would have been grossed out by eating the snow at the dog park....ew.

Family Day 2014

Family Day 2014 was a super fun day!

We were so lucky to spend the day with our BFF's at the Calgary Zoo!

Fun was had by all, and super fun memories were made :)

Mack, Aidan, & Fenna checking out a buffalo (or as we were informed by a super smart zoo goer....a bison)

 Sweet Fenna loving up the ducks

 My Matea enthralled with the hippo's and all the fish in the big tank.

 Can you see Matea pulling her Dad towards the playground?  She was excited.

 Having a little conversation with her fave giant kangaroo

 My girl rocking her "signature" double braid look

(Adventures in Geremialand....did you hear that? Signature look....oh yeah!) 

 Little rascals playing on the super slippery snow hill.

 BFF's

Oh man I love these boys

 MACK TALK

"Um Mommy...these elephants are pretty smelly"

Best Zoo Memory

Miss. Matea got a little bored while we were getting lunch ready for everyone.  I turned my back for a second and she BOLTED out of our eating area and into the big, large eating area.  No one actually saw her dart away (which makes it even more terrifying for me because I can only GUESS which way she went) so when I went to check one of the other eating areas, there my sweet girl was, standing smack dab in the middle of an East Indian family trying to find a spot to sit....sigh, my girl.
