Princesses & Canada Day Moose Cake

The arrival of Baby Boo 2 is coming up quick. We’ve been busy little monkey’s running around getting the nursery ready. It looks amazing and I’ll definitely have pictures up soon. The tummy’s getting huge too. Melissa has six weeks to go and her tummy is bigger than when she was 2 weeks overdue with Tyler. It’s a lot of fun watching and feeling our little monkey moving around in there and we can’t wait to meet him or her.

On Wednesday my clients, Rockin’ River Productions, flew me up to Fort McMurray to help with the Dwight Yoakam concert that they were putting on. It was a great show even if you aren’t into that kind of music and everyone there was just having a blast. Except for the lady who left her kid alone so she could go into the beer garden. BRUTAL!! The RCMP helped explain some parenting rules to her as they escorted her out of the concert. Rockin’ River’s holding their second annual River Fest music festival in Mission on August 13 & 14, so if you’re into country music you should definitely check it out.

And to put a big smile on your face, here are a couple videos of the kids having some fun. The first one is of Tyler and Grover just playing around. You definitely get to see what great buds they are. And the second video is of Tyler cracking the eggs for a cake. I’m SOOO proud! She used to just smash them, so it’s great that she can actually open them up without leaving shells in the bowl.

Less Than Two Months to GO!!

It’s less than two months to go before our new little Monkey is here. His/Her room is all painted up like Tyler’s old room and we’re getting the clothes organized, crib ready and an overnight bag packed, cause you never know when our day will be.

This week we got out for one last camping trip before our little Monkey comes so we headed up to Davis Lake and had a nice relaxing break on the lake. Thanks Dan & Jacquie! Pictures have been posted to the site so be sure to check those out.

And here’s a quick video of Tyler & Grover playing dress-up.

We Now Have a 3 Year Old! Eek!

Tyler had an amazing birthday weekend! Big thanks to Zadie and Grandpa for the party’s they threw for Tyler. And a big THANK YOU to everyone else who celebrated with her. You all DEFINITELY spoiled her rotten. The party on Saturday was a great last bash to send off the old house. A few more days of packing and then it’s MOVING DAY!!!! We’re so excited! Have a great week everyone!

So What’s It Going to Be?!

We aren’t going to peek, but we can all guess. What’s your guess for the specs on our new model? Curb weight/height, release date, etc. You can vote online here: http://www.expectnet.com/logingame.php?game_name=BabyBooTwo. We look forward to seeing the guesses and will have a small prize for the winner.

The estimated due date is August 10th. For a reference Tyler was 7 lbs 12 oz and 21 inches.

Good luck!!

The Monkey House is Moving

Yup, that’s right. The monkey’s are up and moving. We LOVE our current house, but it just isn’t big enough for our growing family. So we’re up and moving to the suburbs. Yes hick town Mission has suburbs and we found em. We’re talkin’ 2 storey and a basement with four bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 car garage, large theatre/rec room, covered back patio that walks out to our large flat fenced yard and all this on a cul-de-sac. It’ll be perfect for our 2 1/2 kids. We’re moving the beginning of May and couldn’t be more excited. Plus we got to see more pics of the new little one and the Miwi says everything looks great!! We’ve been enjoying the outdoors when we can, had a great easter and just went for a fun walk in the park with Grover and some of his relatives. Be sure to check out the new pics and the funny video of Tyler.

Have a GREAT weekend everyone!! And a big hello to the fans in Oklahoma. We just posted LOTS of pictures of Grover from our walk with Charley’s Daddy.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!

We hope you all had a nice relaxing weekend. Here are a couple of Tyler’s latest video’s. Have a great week!

Here’s a quick video of Tyler doing her little dance for Beyonce’s song “Single Ladies”. Enjoy! We hope everyone’s getting to enjoy the nice weather out there. I also posted a bunch of pictures from our latest adventures.

Happy New Year & Some Video Updates

Happy New Year everyone. We’ve had some videos sitting around waiting to be posted so here they are. We have a crazy one of Grover and a bunch from Disneyland. Enjoy!

Grover Going Nuts

dreeeeeaaaammms cooooooooomme trrrrrrrruuuuue!!!

Half an hour of silence (and presumably sleep) then over the monitor we hear:

“….your dreams come truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue! …..Once upon a time Princess Tyler sang a song and her dreeeeeeeeeeeaaaammms cooooooooommmme trrrrrrruuuue! And Princess Bunny dreams come truuuuuee toooooooooooooo!!!…I love you in the evening and under the mooooooooonnnn! I love you and Scruffy too! Skinnamerikkki-dinki-do – iiiiiiiiiiii loooooooooooove youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Dreeeeeeeeeeams cooooommme truuuuuuuue!!!!…..”

Then she rolled over and went to sleep.  I couldn’t have a more perfect ending to my perfectly laid-back birthday.  And here I didn’t think she could top our nightly walk to look at Christmas lights (seriously magical when accompanied by a 2-and-a-half-year-old), our cuddled up reading of a Christmas Carol, and our 10 minute tuck-in of endless hugs, kisses, !zurrrrrbitttts! (raspberries to those outside our inner circle), and I love you’s.  She never ceases to amaze me and affix the smiles on my face.

Bring on the next 30 years – if they’re anything like the last then I’ll count myself insanely lucky!

Now I’m off to go cuddle with my cutie hubby – like I said: lucky.

Christmas is Coming!!

So yeah, it’s been a CRAZY busy summer and fall and well our old blog software wasn’t that easy to post with so I upgraded to WordPress. I’m not saying you’ll see a lot more posts, but I can guarantee that you’ll see more regular photo updates.

Onto the update. There was a bunch of stuff this summer. I went Mountain Biking at Silverstar with the guys and had a great time though I ended up rolling my ankle on the first day, though I toughed it out the second day, but paid for that for a month and half as it healed. Dang that hurts.

We had a GREAT trip up to Grandpa Gilbert’s. Tyler got to play in the garden lots, went on a bungee trampoline and got to go to the game farm up there.

The HUGE news for the summer was that we went to DISNEYLAND!!!! We went with Casey and our friends Mark & Laura and their kids Taye & Nya. We had so much fun! Especially Tyler. She got to wear her princess dress lots and LOVED everything about the trip. Especially the characters and rides. We’ll definitely be going back one day!

After that it was a bunch of work around the house. We laid a new portion of our concrete sidewalk and then re-coated the fir floors in the house. Both projects worked out really well.

And now we come up to today’s news. We have a new furry member of the family named Grover. Yes Grover like the Muppet and the Monster At the End of This Book. He’s an 8 week old Welsh Terrier that we got from Darwyn Welsh Terriers in Mission of all places. There are only a few registered breeders in Canada and one of them happened to be 10 minutes from our house. They’re great people and breed some AMAZING Welsh Terriers. We have already posted some pictures and will have lots more to come.

That’s about it for now. We’ll have weekly photo updates and you might even see a blog post or two. We hope everyone’s getting into the Christmas spirit. We already have the Christmas music going in the car and have the Christmas lights up.
