Geocaching and sun!

Earlier in the week I was looking through photos for something and we came across videos of Immy when she was born! She LOVED watching them! She wanted to watch them over and over again!

We became a geocaching family last weekend! (geocaching.com to see what it's all about) This is Eli with our first find!

And below - our second find! So much fun and well worth the $10 app. 

I think he has a mouth full of chocolate in this!

Below - a photo shoot with Imogen! This girl LOVES to pose!

Water fights out in the sun! It was 23 last Sunday and a week before that was snowing lol!

Riding her bike at the school

and playing hopscotch 

Testing Eli on his Canadian geography. 

He was able to correctly identify every Province and Territory :-)

Standing on our Island!

Out hunting for Geocache number 3

A sight that I love! Star wars has been 100% responsible for really making Eli love reading. Gone are the days where I had to tell him to go and read.  Until now he wouldn't venture past any of the 'reader' style books but on Thursday I convinced him to pick up some shorter (100 pages) novels and I am so happy that he came home and devoured them both in no time at all! Now he's hooked and keeps asking to go back to the library for more! Yay.

And lastly a Daddy and Immy dance party! I would like to show the video but I have a feeling a certain Mr Hughes will kill me ;-)

Baking and Park Fun

This week I've been on a bread kick trying out different recipes. So we decided to try making pretzels. Immy loves the soft ones that we get at Disney....so we were going for that! 

Some of the interesting shapes made by the littlest bakers lol. 

Eli inhaling a pretzel!

Me with my beautiful boy (and no make up hence the very tired eyes in this one and below!) 

Eli making his latest game "Star Wars Galaxy Fight"

Out for a walk with our friends... the girls trying to look mean!

 Immy siting in her 'fairy house'

The boys built a rebel base (star wars) and then took a nap lol

Beautiful girls having a 'biggest smile' contest!

'Obi Wan, Eeth Koth and Mace Windu'

Goofy boys

Good Friday rainy walk!

...and swing in the park

and lastly my gorgeous hubby x

Lately...

Nothing terribly exciting just a few pics of our days in the last week or two...here is Eli doing math. And yes, we mostly do school in Pj's!

Immy making random things at the same time!

He got an electrical circuit kit for Christmas and it's one of his favourite things to 'play' with.

Artwork from this weeks coop. Goldfish bowls inspired by Matisse. Eli's is the top left. 

You wanted to see her breakfast hanging off her tongue right?!

Another tongue pose. I think she's been watching Miley Cyrus in secret. 

We learned about Canada's coat of arms this week and then Eli made his own crest for our family. The tree symbolizes nature "because we love nature", the orange and red hearts are the four of us joined together by love, the red blob is Canada "because that's where we live", the bottom brown blob is a beaver - to represent Canada's official animal/emblem (whatever it is) And 'Month to Month' is our motto??!! No idea what that one means!

Very excited that spring has arrived and the snow had gone for good (or so we thought at that point!)

Somehow Eli always ends up with the dirtiest of dirty faces.

So he took this selfie because he styled his hair the way he wants it, and if he takes a picture then he can always remember how to do it again! Oh dear!

 Morning cuddles! My favourite :-)

Playing outside on the weekend. Last few weeks at her friends house they have been sneaking into the bathroom making 'potions' with anything they could get their hands on so I thought I would put her kitchen outside and let her make potions to her hearts content. Soap, water and mud make great potions :-)

Neighbourhood kids converge in our yard to play basketball. 

My tired girl watching a movie!

What we woke up to today!

Again with the tongue lol!

Truly their mamas kids...hanging out in the library!
