Were not done with the Orange Vest, Not just yet

Hi ya beautiful,
Today is Wednesday, and we did not have anything planned. Tues and Thurs and Fridays and our busy days, and the weekends are daddy days, but Monday and Wednesday we can just walk around the house, or chill out inside or do errands. Today we did some errands, and visited your favorite bridge again. It is a fun bridge. You get to see cars and people going over the river. One day Dylan, we will get on the water and go under the bridge!! hmmmm, I will think on that.

Well, you are changing, growing and maturing. Your hair is growing also. ha ha. But I will keep trying to trim it back for you. You are eating and sleeping better. You are enjoying your baths more. I think we finally found some bath toys of your interest. Yes, I know, more farm animals. But you like what you know. ha ha. Well here are some more pictures of cyour life and your day today.

I know I have a lot of pictures of you from behind, but it is just me and I try and capture you doing what you are doing. I will keep trying to get in front of you, but it ...... I will try.

Looking off into yonder, or water, or Three Sisters, or....

Your just too cute.

Now, we no longer have BIG BIG splash puddles for you to play in, but we do have a few mud puddles. This one was a good one. Go for it honey!

Your not quite jumping yet, one step, two step, three step, four.

Yep, that is a puddle



And then back to the house where we pulled out your truck again. It has been in storage (under the deck) all winter. But with the snow finally gone, we need to get ready for some spring fun. Will you play with this truck again Dylan, or are we done with it. You like to just walk and walk and walk, or push scooter around. So lets see.

I just thought this was a cute shot of you with the door open. It reminded me of the Flintstones. ha ha

Bring on the Sun!!!

Dylan, today is the 1st day of May, and it was a glorious day. Bring on the sun and lets say good bye to the snow. And on that note, you got interested in the storm drains so we started to say good bye to the snow as it melted away down the drain.

You love Dino. Here you are giving hugs and kisses to him.

Taking a male family portrait of 3 generations. This was the best one out of the pack. Either you were looking away, or your dad was making very funny faces.

Playing outside with your sand and water table. Or is it just a sand table. You keep plopping all the sand into the water section. Of course, I should have realized that, and with the cold mornings, do I really want your hands in the water. hmmmmm what to do??? Have fun, that's it!

Another Snowday

Hi ya Dylan, What another wake up call this morning. More and more snow again. Your dad did mention a snow fall warning but I never expected this much. I keep hoping that it will miss us. What a year not to ski. It snowed a couple of days again, but it melted fast. This is a winter wonderland snowfall. OMG!!! I really want to get my bike out and take you riding. I have hopes of biking to Banff and back over the summer and maybe do Goat Creek if it not too bumpy for you. You sure are growing fast. Your snow suit and boots still fit but your are stretching out of them. Hopefully, we won't need them again.

Picture taken from the front deck looking across our street.

We put the sand/water table together in the sun, and now we have had 2 days of snow since Easter Saturday. This snow is one days worth of snow fall. When i s it going to end?

Thanks honey for helping mommy shovel. I thought our snow was suppose to be light and dry, not heavy and wet. You know, I have put your snow suit and boots away twice and keep having to get them back out.

Dylan's shovel and mommy's shovel!

Big shoveling Dylan.


Looking out the back deck. Look at how much snow has fallen. Your Aunt Melanie told me I was going to be the cause of the snow as I have just taken my snow tires off. Ahhhhh, I think she jinxed it. ha ha.

Wiggletime #3. Same lady as last reading and leading, but different from the 1st. We did bubble time, some ball time, one book read to us, and we read one to ourselves. We sang a few songs and said hello to a brand new baby. You are still acting shy and pounding on my chest (your sign language for milk), but you were not as clingy as this past couple of weeks. We left the house with all the snow in the above pictures. I got to feel winter driving on summer tires again. A wee bit slippery going in to town. I love my winter tires!!!!!

Did a little bit of walking downtown after Wiggle time. We hit the ramp again, stomped through all the snow puddles, and water puddles and got wet. You fell asleep on the way home, 1 - 1.5 hrs earlier than normal. hmmmmm. Lets see how long you stay down for. This will be nice so we can get up and play in the sun after snack.

Making Friends

Hi ya Dylan,

We had a big day today. A little bit of playtime with Gram and Grandpa in the morning. But then we were off .to have some fun with some kids. We ventured off to the playcentre again. All boys when we arrived. No dolls were being tossed around, or house being played. It was all trains, cars, garages and hmmmmm what else. We only stay for 1.5 hrs right now as we have to move on to gymnastics for another 1 hr of fun. We will spend more time at the playcentre once your swimming lessons are completed. You had a fun time playing with some boys. These boys came to you and you went to them also.

We have been playing at the sand table a bit lately. Scoop a little bit up with a shovel and pour it down the tower.


Two different garages side by side, which to play, or both. There pretty tall Dylan.

Joining in with the boys playing trains. You have played with these boys before. The brown shirt usually comes with a caregiver, and the boy in the blue shirt (Thomas shirt), we met his mom at Swimming lesson #2 our new instructor. It was nice to chat with her for a little bit today.

A bigger boy just plowed right through the garages to get to the hoop. We played hoop last week, so you two played nicely for a bit. Then you moved back to the garages.


After snacktime, we zoomed on over to the rec. centre for gym time. Weeeeee!. A really neat set up this time. But you bumped your head twice on a short ladder holding up the big and colourful parachute.

You were trying to get this little girl to go under the bridge. You just ga ga goo gooed at her and pointed, but she was younger and did not do anything. ha ha.

Nah, you have this tunnel at home, why would you go through??

Up the ramp.

Down the ramp.

Visiting Calgary

Dylan, today we took a trip into Calgary. You traveled in to the city with your Grandparents (not buckled up, ahhhh) and we visited Cheryl's house and all Stephanie's kids. Fun fun fun. It was a short visit, but you got to run around with Korbin and Amaya, play in the kitchen with Amaya and Kherrington, and get your first taste of lasagna. That reminds me, I have to make some lasagna for you. Here are some pictures of our visit.

Here you are playing very nicely with Amaya. She is 1 yr older than you but you two get along very well.

Kherrington sneaking in for play.

Weeeeeee, you go girl

Korbin was giving out free horsey rides to Amaya.

Pretty girl Amaya

Amaya and you are getting close. This is really nice to see. You two also kissed a couple of times. tee hee.

Amaya and you playing footsies.

Dylan, you are just play gorgeous!!!

Cheers!

After returning home from our Calgary trip, it started to snow AGAIN! UGH!
