Spring Walk

Tonight we arrived home from Jarom's Celebration of Learning and I realized the evening was to beautiful to miss. Nolan and Spencer zipped off to basketball practice and the boys and I jetted out for a run.  Well I tried to run, but I ended up doing more walking then running, still it was good.

Jarom rode his scooter and Barrett relaxed in his stroller and we enjoyed a perfect evening.   

I love taking pictures of this kid.  He has so much personality it's just perfect for capturing.

Check out that tooth!  He worked darn hard on that thing, soon its mate will be joining the party.

Nolan took this picture, he thought the moment was too precious to let pass by.  Barrett is getting to such a fun age; Friday he officially started crawling, he's been on the cusp of crawling for awhile but Friday he finally figured out his left hand and off he went. 

He had his 6 month check up a week ago and weighs 19 lbs and is 28.5 inches long!

Other Thoughts:

• Today I spent almost the entire day rocking my baby.  He's teething and crabby and wanted to be held.  As I sat there cuddling him thinking about my To do list and the shower I hadn't yet had; I decided it was okay, my baby won't be a baby much longer and no one will remember all the things that didn't get done today.
• Usually Spencer puts Jarom to bed, but on the nights he is not there I read to Jarom and then he always asks me to cuddle with him.  I mostly say no, kiss him and hug him and move on to some thing much less important.  Today the thought occurred to me that soon he won't ask any more; that will be sad.

The Invasion

Spencer and Nolan went on a winter camp (more about later when I figure out where Spencer stashed the pictures) last week sooo....

Jarom, Barrett and I cruised up Highway #2 to visit this cute as can be baby and his mom and dad.  We had ourselves such a good time, watching the babies play and just being together. 

I also got to visit Patrice at her studio and get the tour of all her amazing work.  Man I wish I was a fraction as talented as this girl.  Her designs were crazy good.

We also paid a visit to the Telus Science Centre.  Jarom took this picture, he was overwhelmed with all there was to do and snapped off a couple of pictures before jetting off to view something disgusting like smelling armpit odour.  Not the best picture, but since it's all I have of me and sisters I wanted to show it off.

Don't I look tall and slim in this picture.  I asked the nice staff if I could take the mirror home and use it as my own personal pick me up everyday; but they just looked at me like I was a loonie who just got off the bus from crazyville.

Jarom took a trip to outer space.

This picture made me smile. 

Love these two!

I love, love, love that these babies are only 2 weeks apart in age.  They are going to be best buddies and get in so much trouble together.  Sadly I can already tell Barrett will be leading the mischief and sweet little Nikolas will get a spanking or two meant for Barrett (just kidding we would NEVER spank our children).

Jarom is one lucky little boy to have such a fun uncle.  He just had the best time swimming with Uncle Paul.

A HUGE thanks to Rachel and Paul for letting us crash at their house and for such a great week-end.  Love you guys!
