We measure the kids and their friends on their birthday....Jessie is an inch taller than Josiah was at one year old.

Jessie and Nola! Thanks for my birthday song on the phone Nola!!!

What a fun day! I am having a great time!




Jessie was fighting a cold but made the best of it all and was full of smiles and giggles! Daddy and Josiah gave Jessie her first bouquet of flowers it was very sweet and thoughtful!



Singing happy birthday! Jessie seems pretty happy as we all sang!

Just to clarify I stopped Josiah from blowing out the candles because he had a big drool about to fall on the flower cake!

Happy Birthday Jessie!

Jessie is one! Our sweet Jessie Girl !

Daddy took the day off work and we took her to the flower conservatory in the morning.

Jessie has such a sweet smile and makes me smile everyday!

Jessie was excited to get her very first cupcake!

It was so good!

Happy 1st Birthday Jessie

The Days of Our Lives!

Jessie is on the go all the time. When she isn't trying to get up the stairs, getting her big brothers toys or drink cup, you can find her in the snack cupboard reaching on her tippy toes for those yummy graham crackers! I love her spunk. Josiah loves to help in the kitchen. He is always excited to make cookies and loves to add, pour, stir and taste!

Both kids were fairly sick over the last little while and we love this picture because we hadn't left the house for quite a few days and Josiah started to get a little stir crazy......I just laugh at him making the best of it all!

Jessie girl hanging out in her room. I was trying to get a few 11 month pictures and it was a challenge as she never sits still.

Josiah wanted to pose too!

Jessie loves, loves loves this puppy! When I peek in her at night puppy is always tucked in her arms keeping her company all night long!

Over the last 2 months Josiah has learned to use the big boy potty. He is doing really well and we are so proud of him! He has a sticker board for all his successes that he is very proud of and loves to hang out in his big boy underwear!

This picture was day two of the process and he was less than thrilled at that point.....it makes me laugh!

Almost Home!

We spent a night in Medicine Hat visiting my cousin Robin and her family Dawson 4, Danica 18 months, and her husband Dean. We enjoyed our time here so much......the kids got to know one another and Josiah loved Dawson's toys.....especially his ride on train!

We stopped in Regina for a quick visit going through Regina to visit Uncle Brian, Auntie Amanda, Ellis, Sarah, and Nicholas. We loved catching up and seeing how much everyone had grown!

We saw Nana and Papa too! A quick visit and then we were on the way home......

The kids travelled amazingly well. We were so proud of them !!! Yes I packed way more than I needed to, but somehow J managed to fit it all in after ever stop! P.S We loved travelling in our new vehicle.

Drumheller

We stopped in Drumheller on our way home and took the kids through the Dinosaur Museum. Josiah was very wide-eyed and cautious...but very interested.Hanging out at the hotel!
The little dinosaurs behind them looked like siblings.
Our friend the lizard!
Daddy.......roarrrrrrr!

Dinosaurs were all over the place! Very cool!!!

New Computer!!!!

Well it has been a while since I updated mostly but not entirely because our computer was acting up. It was time to upgrade and I am slowly trying to figure it all out......this new one as fast as it may be, I find a little intimidating. With practice I am sure I'll get it. Hey I figured out the web cam after J showed me once or twice ..........Ha

Our Cousins Jaxon and Cade Golly

We went on an adventure in February. My brother Colin and his fiance Celeste welcomed their 2nd child in January and Auntie Karen wanted to see him "Still Fresh"
Jaxon and Josiah are only 2 months apart in age and they had a great time getting to know one another again. They had a lot of the same interests and toys but managed to share really well. It was great to see them interact.
Little Cade is so very sweet....I am sure you'll agree!!!
