Despite the cold which I'm not very fond of, I'm really getting into the magic of Christmas with the kids! We started a new tradition with our <a href="http://www.elfontheshelf.com/">Elf on the Shelf</a> which James named Goldie. Every morning the kids wake up and search around the house for him...sometimes he's been a little naughty (making a mess of our cheerios), sometimes silly (hanging upsidedown from the chandelier) and sometimes nice (writes notes and draws pictures for the kids). They love it and so do we! Tonight there was a little show on tv about him and the kids were glued!</div><div style="text-align: center;">We were invited to a friends kids Christmas party today and the big guy himself made an appearance - much to the delight of my kids (well except when he wanted them to sit on his lap). But they watched him intently and James joined in some Christmas carols. They even got a special gift from him. James was full of questions on the way home "I didn't see where he parked his sleigh? Why did he only stay for a while?" It's truly heartwarming to see them believe!</div></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love this picture:)</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR2mWLZspq9Dv-M3n3AP0dXBGOIKmicVwQxZ2bEZdniT0ZUEIO7eiCRocgb7kY3rDrT1fiXVwxH6j_x6WAQOh-Do7SeSJZ8rvXZ_BG6vBkhhNgySl2Y8vHabnIoTu46rbvAG47bHT2HbyE/s400/IMG_0502.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684343928620900258" /><div style="text-align: center;">James asked Santa (with the best manners) for a scooter!</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjogBUyAvoGzz5BUTI8NQi48tMnQ6eY2dK_ktliOxhV6ncovmlqmK4VPfH6HyC3c8b2etOID59-yfkew9Ibf89o0aNjWaMY3EGwvi8RaE9rJfxaW3vCPmGsszyOGdMaa-coL8Yab0oqfrg/s400/IMG_0505.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684343914200280242" /><div style="text-align: center;">Mason just wanted me and more cheesies!</div></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXeUS5rj5q9KKr5-7sNBlKoEqvqeJNvay9cGynIPRdjcogkX_6LW4Ml2TQC2ykDNIR-SSGTseFQi2IX1eEvrngpSB4JO-A35UVBUAEPlMeV1Dp_T7P0IC6h5wV-LPxx_OBLIBC9cfY7NKX/s400/IMG_0507.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684343910657577330" /><div style="text-align: center;">The Langley Fire Department comes by yearly lights and sirens (and santa!) to collect money for the burn unit.

It's hard to believe he's the same age right now as James was when he was born (just a week shy of 21 months). It makes me wonder how I/we did it! He's a busy little guy and for the most part very happy! It's hard not to melt when he flies into your arms for the best hugs! He's beginning to talk a little bit (new words this week are Santa) and he thinks he's a pretty big joker when you ask him a question...he mostly answer 'NOT!'...James thinks this is hilarious and continues to ask him each night after dinner if he's going to do the dishes to which Mason replies 'not' and they both laugh hysterically. Although he can only say about 5 letters of the alphabet, he can point them all out on a page, thanks to James' help in learning and just today they worked on a 1-10 puzzle and Mason got 9/10 correct! James is so sweet everytime he gets one right he says 'good job bub!' and high fives him at the end...very heartwarming! So here's to our little man...we love him so much (the big guy too;)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Whatever James is doing, Mason is not far behind!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7hQv8DE3Bd_kpu6uCeA9yPDvNPEOQc_DqgZQXoGJ44ODcMccKsZzVJnGQwEn-qxK-TdfChBU4vseQfcQusvZm_vjfRNHWL7TZi5RpBGdtjdIza9pY8s7wD1eoD_sUVh8FCLEcIjIw0aDM/s1600/DSC01565.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7hQv8DE3Bd_kpu6uCeA9yPDvNPEOQc_DqgZQXoGJ44ODcMccKsZzVJnGQwEn-qxK-TdfChBU4vseQfcQusvZm_vjfRNHWL7TZi5RpBGdtjdIza9pY8s7wD1eoD_sUVh8FCLEcIjIw0aDM/s400/DSC01565.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683250187391302626" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Look Mom, I can keep up with him!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPAmFmOMrVwd-zy1aKSPKMwia5NoKFqmxq3Z_Y2e_85_oQYi9dydf1JxLPJPnv6kBtOBxVRLNCqCkEPIAjujk-hNtZ0pm62iUT7Bn3IuMqGm92XYIoxFalpgKdHZhhVTk3k9tedn5SITCH/s1600/IMG_8059.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPAmFmOMrVwd-zy1aKSPKMwia5NoKFqmxq3Z_Y2e_85_oQYi9dydf1JxLPJPnv6kBtOBxVRLNCqCkEPIAjujk-hNtZ0pm62iUT7Bn3IuMqGm92XYIoxFalpgKdHZhhVTk3k9tedn5SITCH/s400/IMG_8059.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683250182199733922" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Handsome young man!

I loved having the kids play with my cousins kids (James finally got bossed around...usually he's the one bossing Mason around!)

Of course, James had to drive the boat first and do everything we had done the previous month we were there...this time with less help (walking logs, playing ping pong etc.) We had day visits with my best friend, Amy, and her family, including 21 month old cuite, Freya (whom we hadn't seen since she was 9 weeks old) and also a visit with my cousin, Kim, and her kids Keenan & Cassidy. Here are the higlights from the trip!</div><div style="text-align: center;">

We went to Victoria and had a great family bbq at my Aunt & Uncles pool. The following day we headed up to Cowichan Lake to our cabin, where we spent two nights. Unfortuantely, Geoff had to work, so it was just the three of us and my parents, who were celebrating their 40th Wedding Anniversary! Congrats to them! We had a great weekend, followed by a family dinner in Victoria with my brother, Jeff and his wife Genn, who cooked an amazing dinner for us all! The kids loved the whole weekend and James still talks about all the fun we had...especially Papa's boat!</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center; ">Pool Party!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwppHVY2F6LcEfVowhICwxJTOPfrSApTVKOHlGuG5xb6DoZSzltXK4VVbKd6rHF-En069q5M2k2SRcSYK-Jd10oAak48bgzqrV4DeAgNF-myW_svYCQX0UG9V5XR4i4f1agOBAyyWHSiZ/s1600/cab+july10+2011+088.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwppHVY2F6LcEfVowhICwxJTOPfrSApTVKOHlGuG5xb6DoZSzltXK4VVbKd6rHF-En069q5M2k2SRcSYK-Jd10oAak48bgzqrV4DeAgNF-myW_svYCQX0UG9V5XR4i4f1agOBAyyWHSiZ/s400/cab+july10+2011+088.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632291047186285522" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I love this place!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoUUJ7dxOhQQf9ZRq7em90blCntjYqDYz_k9QxNbdgokKRVhrJWZ_kTAQfABY2RxWLg21J9OTxPI7ckJ0KIchiaCLPYf0QUpSZoHh09PzwXOY6ZdkmLeAFItXXVr87g7_5c1zQsTkisUUg/s1600/cab+july10+2011+146.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoUUJ7dxOhQQf9ZRq7em90blCntjYqDYz_k9QxNbdgokKRVhrJWZ_kTAQfABY2RxWLg21J9OTxPI7ckJ0KIchiaCLPYf0QUpSZoHh09PzwXOY6ZdkmLeAFItXXVr87g7_5c1zQsTkisUUg/s400/cab+july10+2011+146.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632291037823463554" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Throwing rocks in the water...simple fun!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC3CizbEfKVGSPrOr7p2nWRca6lF8BMUk_G1HX63sRF6SoF6hO7FIMeBToTqS94I6naxRf9OSDEK1nZZoXZcuzpjD8BPW4EStgqlEkUOjg68zBBWIo_rUqdkAvmutx_VQOllOyz-fJ4NaU/s1600/IMG_2632.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC3CizbEfKVGSPrOr7p2nWRca6lF8BMUk_G1HX63sRF6SoF6hO7FIMeBToTqS94I6naxRf9OSDEK1nZZoXZcuzpjD8BPW4EStgqlEkUOjg68zBBWIo_rUqdkAvmutx_VQOllOyz-fJ4NaU/s400/IMG_2632.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632291033821475474" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Striding around the campsite...great hills and bumps!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggojFdfYCVTx3iL4b8FNmMEmXi08BCpGSVFcHDcMo4V0J-p_umNXplUlO0eqQT8AYPDXP29c_iXGn5TiT0nfA13I2IvugHBuDxjtszgL-Y33DEnp9KcjXvLKdngmATTWdwRlodsJ2Nb0CW/s1600/cab+july10+2011+259.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggojFdfYCVTx3iL4b8FNmMEmXi08BCpGSVFcHDcMo4V0J-p_umNXplUlO0eqQT8AYPDXP29c_iXGn5TiT0nfA13I2IvugHBuDxjtszgL-Y33DEnp9KcjXvLKdngmATTWdwRlodsJ2Nb0CW/s400/cab+july10+2011+259.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632291028134014834" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Bathtime!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggeBr1QapX0hNvRnp65lUOS9UgWbblF5Tleo9rpRvxNwLM9sbi_LtX8-PqmtlCxyiG2jikMyiXgW4GXc2dOYtdtXI-pKgthF68HHzotjrHTkmyhp9Bsn-nGRNGF3tJUBW4MBpBRWX6CJjy/s1600/IMG_2638.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggeBr1QapX0hNvRnp65lUOS9UgWbblF5Tleo9rpRvxNwLM9sbi_LtX8-PqmtlCxyiG2jikMyiXgW4GXc2dOYtdtXI-pKgthF68HHzotjrHTkmyhp9Bsn-nGRNGF3tJUBW4MBpBRWX6CJjy/s400/IMG_2638.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632291024414887138" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">This is James' <a href="http://whatsupjames.blogspot.com/2009/08/trip-to-island.html">fourth</a> year of bathing in the kitchen sink and I think it might be the last!

He's been practicing on some other bikes we had around the house, but I wanted to give him his first very own <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.stridersports.ca">Strider</a>! I also put some new pneumatic tires on James' bike today and man, do they ever add speed to his bike! He raced Geoff down our street to the stop sign in about 1 minute! The cutest part of it all was him posing up beside Mason's front wheel without prompting and saying 'that's my brother on a bike'! For some of you who know James, he has a hard time admitting Mason is actually part of our family - so this was big and very sweet! This was a pretty exciting day for me...I've thought about this since I started selling bikes in October! I was at the Langley Canada Day celebrations all day on Thursday and Friday this week with a Strider booth and met tons of local families and loved every time a child had a temper tantrum as their parent tried hauling them off a demo bike:) My favorite was an 18 month old girl who I had to pry her fingers off the handle bars one by one as he mom picked her up! Today I sold my 137th bike! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Bub on his KTM Strider!

How did I get a three year old?! Time flies and wow, he's changed so much in this last year! We had two celebrations - one of the day of, which just so happened to fall on game 7 of the Stanley Cup (we all know what happens, but in case James is checking this out in years to come...Canucks lost and there was a terrible <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/06/16/bc-riot-thursday.html">riot</a> that ensued). Happily for us, James was oblivious and went to sleep after a great pizza party still chanting "we want the cup!" and singing "Oh Canada"! A few days later, we celebrated with friends and family at our place. Rain tried to dampen the day, but we managed to get outside once it stopped and had a great afternoon playing, eating and playing some more!</div><div style="text-align: center; ">Here are a few pics from the parties!</div></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cheese!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd72omTNaN4Qu_oE8a-XvyRiCzGHyKdFitf-LXZpVfX4idsNh6YS3V7c5TMH3AD_ag2bnViW_MqnoL_nlNDUZYBkvLQhUPiLAFNwRECm-GMl3ACpZ4qbKKTx6WNmTNPBEoE6oP_hbsRkpG/s1600/IMG_6729.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd72omTNaN4Qu_oE8a-XvyRiCzGHyKdFitf-LXZpVfX4idsNh6YS3V7c5TMH3AD_ag2bnViW_MqnoL_nlNDUZYBkvLQhUPiLAFNwRECm-GMl3ACpZ4qbKKTx6WNmTNPBEoE6oP_hbsRkpG/s400/IMG_6729.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621836524543146466" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Stanley Cup Pizza Birthday Party!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV877h_b_t7Z-ziz_bh_wHzY4wvz1dcXSYbU6X0ujbWrA-ELlA7dLqI3mgIrCfay2HJ4RZiHOxgc03A67oFgMKDiqciaUxE69kvj9mIyWFvl-FX81hS9v-WIXRXiXAZaNRc489A4U9R-S4/s1600/IMG_6740.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV877h_b_t7Z-ziz_bh_wHzY4wvz1dcXSYbU6X0ujbWrA-ELlA7dLqI3mgIrCfay2HJ4RZiHOxgc03A67oFgMKDiqciaUxE69kvj9mIyWFvl-FX81hS9v-WIXRXiXAZaNRc489A4U9R-S4/s400/IMG_6740.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621836519879260594" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Grammy made a delicious and adorable dinosaur cake!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPf_UGAleB75Kthh5U2VgQSgANPRhbDv7K2h4EeioL3ZPfTgK1hEv1CNZmFfa3erRkowfXHftuhVXX1m5G74t1efPhbNS5NUP2OZUG107fZPno5ufdGEju2MlCk1JsyHhgHjTWjniLNxTi/s1600/IMG_6913.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPf_UGAleB75Kthh5U2VgQSgANPRhbDv7K2h4EeioL3ZPfTgK1hEv1CNZmFfa3erRkowfXHftuhVXX1m5G74t1efPhbNS5NUP2OZUG107fZPno5ufdGEju2MlCk1JsyHhgHjTWjniLNxTi/s400/IMG_6913.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621835528973497570" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Sharing Cake!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGbsM2snrHxdMEFbEiWu-cZBItOb9AKUPu6ofa2IJUf4GNLmCSi3aLxPWKIN3T-MH8mJccLEUflsnsqOUu66SXA7gIr5qOlCUHP1NpY9CdmlMeRPdjwMl11zIRcWuS0PI0owy0z1Hxbbgl/s1600/IMG_6949.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGbsM2snrHxdMEFbEiWu-cZBItOb9AKUPu6ofa2IJUf4GNLmCSi3aLxPWKIN3T-MH8mJccLEUflsnsqOUu66SXA7gIr5qOlCUHP1NpY9CdmlMeRPdjwMl11zIRcWuS0PI0owy0z1Hxbbgl/s400/IMG_6949.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621835523220791394" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">There are so many great pics of the day but my computer is slow to upload them, so I've just posted a few! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Birthday Bud...we love you!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09557146901147522620noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946850681902137038.post-90813661703983551302011-06-01T21:13:00.000-07:002011-06-01T21:19:54.125-07:00Long time coming...<div>I can't believe it's been over a month since I updated my blog...where has the time gone and what have I done with it?!

It started off with Mason, quickly spreading to James, myself and Geoff's Mom, Kathy, who was helping us out. We then had to call in more reinforcements in my Mom and Dad...it knocked us off our socks for 9 days, but aside from the boys losing a bit of weight, there seem to be no lasting effects. I say I'd like to forget about this week, but in my mind, I'd like to remember the times when we were truly scared for our children and what I will take from this is that sometimes I may have bad days with them, but as long as they are happy and healthy, nothing matters and we will get through it...we made it through this and I think we can make it through anything now! The other thing I'd like to remember from this week is all the help we received from our family...it was amazing - everybody pulled together in ways I wish everyone could experience...it was a blessing! Thank you - especially to Kathy, who stayed over three nights with me while Geoff worked and was up all night with James and I when he was sick.Luckily the illness left just in time for Geoff and I to have a night away in Seattle (Mariners/Yankees Game) while my parents took care of the kids - thank you! Here are a few pics from their stay here:</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfHOKDDaLcA3PY6iOcaJzl2ooX_hA3WhM98NoVpgruCEIM3Ih0DwJ63Cv7ryj-0yRrkSkh9SgVEiEfS4NWWd8FSriIhEeu_eIH_blgyYVThSVGUFVW5VYF80u8C8eWdZu5u8PJO4TE1vRs/s1600/May+23+2011+018.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfHOKDDaLcA3PY6iOcaJzl2ooX_hA3WhM98NoVpgruCEIM3Ih0DwJ63Cv7ryj-0yRrkSkh9SgVEiEfS4NWWd8FSriIhEeu_eIH_blgyYVThSVGUFVW5VYF80u8C8eWdZu5u8PJO4TE1vRs/s400/May+23+2011+018.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613466360236056354" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRkDyJODyYIlf8w67CTP2Ip8wgO2aUBgeY2J23_kbn72lrBnO7zO-U-Dh9vYTXSz1HutV7ckuGMuEKWxd1h-_4xPXP4yfuGCDWqIZnxsVMd9tRw-ZUcBHY5337IFXgVkTVb7EYXDgz1ftP/s1600/May+23+2011+034.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRkDyJODyYIlf8w67CTP2Ip8wgO2aUBgeY2J23_kbn72lrBnO7zO-U-Dh9vYTXSz1HutV7ckuGMuEKWxd1h-_4xPXP4yfuGCDWqIZnxsVMd9tRw-ZUcBHY5337IFXgVkTVb7EYXDgz1ftP/s400/May+23+2011+034.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613466354763829362" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRUWvfJwh3VYQfzBuatX70eO_QSrAWcZk_c0ACdhSoEf-E18J8JKvRleA2oSiRS0Pirh4jazc5ZoMFGUNSV-V106LBlboREqxzbyp8k40DIFNMmwIJuQNXcgiC5SgBP15Vfl88Pftqf5yQ/s1600/May+23+2011+003.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRUWvfJwh3VYQfzBuatX70eO_QSrAWcZk_c0ACdhSoEf-E18J8JKvRleA2oSiRS0Pirh4jazc5ZoMFGUNSV-V106LBlboREqxzbyp8k40DIFNMmwIJuQNXcgiC5SgBP15Vfl88Pftqf5yQ/s400/May+23+2011+003.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613466348765873618" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJVMBXX3xVmHlgAG0ifnQgUuBY9tBC7nd1EVcJNZgRuPuU3rUUGe-NjFfx7yofgdmWecYD9ymiyVwM2agQ18Nqe8IbLYA0YoYrYS1IKB-r38ntF2JB59lRguAMlGKZ8fcl2uv-x4wurAgd/s1600/May+23+2011+035.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJVMBXX3xVmHlgAG0ifnQgUuBY9tBC7nd1EVcJNZgRuPuU3rUUGe-NjFfx7yofgdmWecYD9ymiyVwM2agQ18Nqe8IbLYA0YoYrYS1IKB-r38ntF2JB59lRguAMlGKZ8fcl2uv-x4wurAgd/s400/May+23+2011+035.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613466347314246738" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiteqkNgD22_W-_Vk5JXt7SpXEFyk4vM7MHVyhh_OdLGkl02ZmP7n0_PEMX59K-OxcaEE9D69AhkOkqJGlJqv0dAvKBzuelk22QQB_YvLP9DZ_eWjNt4zJ9zJJ5Kp56i_AuR-5Y09KUdYW2/s1600/May+23+2011+031.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiteqkNgD22_W-_Vk5JXt7SpXEFyk4vM7MHVyhh_OdLGkl02ZmP7n0_PEMX59K-OxcaEE9D69AhkOkqJGlJqv0dAvKBzuelk22QQB_YvLP9DZ_eWjNt4zJ9zJJ5Kp56i_AuR-5Y09KUdYW2/s400/May+23+2011+031.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613466336307190514" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /></div>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09557146901147522620noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946850681902137038.post-49231502574540921712011-06-01T20:40:00.000-07:002011-06-01T20:44:32.679-07:00New Swing Set<div style="text-align: center;">We held a garage sale in May and with the money, we purchased a swing set off craigslist for the kids.

We drive by it most days and he asks in his little voice 'can we go to the 'little hills' today?' - so we went...and had a blast! I think his favorite part was when an older rider came over to him and told him he was doing great and commended him on wearing protective gear and showed him his gear! This guy was doing 360's and flying over jumps!

This was an idea of a friends sister years ago and I hope she knows the legacy she is leaving with my kids!<div>We donated over $200 worth of food, clothes, baby items & books to the Langley Food Bank! We celebrated his birthday on Sunday with a great party with friends and family! Thank you to everyone who made donations and who came by to celebrate our little guy! We are so lucky!

Mason & I were sick before we left and maybe moments, maybe an hour, after this picture was taken, James got sick too - all over just about everything you can imagine in our row. It was a tough few days, as both boys continued to vomit for the next 3 days....we wondered if we'd made a mistake going or should have delayed it, but we were there and tried to make the most of it.

I'll have to download the video soon, but don't have the time right now, but James does the cutest thing right now with Mason and I can see their relationship blossoming...it's very special! Mason crawls down the hall to him and James helps him up and walks him down the hall. At night he gets his bottle ready, gives him a head rub and hug, says 'I love Masin' (that's how it sounds) - it's adorable and fun to watch! Muah my boys!

Dynamite rolls, cali rolls, yam tempura rolls, gyoza & edamame! It was a feast, so much fun and something we will do again for sure! James was a super big help, especially when it came time to making the yam tempura roll, he was so excited and couldn't wait to make it...until I realized that he just wanted to eat the tempura...luckily he only got one piece as I'm sure he would have devoured it all!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Getting our cooking clothes on!</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6J3ESma2iW_RVWlR0-yc8kBBz2bhDM_04zgjvkgQlHLanCiUiq5bpmPufZsrEEv9GejA3be8iu-ni6MZAzqpEcqX_AGLjEFc6bWz5ciBAtW9xYkNDsQoHC5iQQR-0TX4ZFTyisEiNmU3Y/s400/IMG_1139.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557718896923861218" /><div style="text-align: center;">Mid-Dyna rolling</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaGyfJPqxTXneyRaQYeS1PKZAYqasQEABwN26XoDp0c5tmeLesiJT3S_Lr80EYQAA9Efp283GjNY9xiFdfQQV-xvJ7-4j8qDHyYC-pFkmwsL_d5MttjPiRNraWOyUahVNmnLPJLWqkJe5O/s400/IMG_1141.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557718904273040306" /><div style="text-align: center;">Showing off the first roll!</div></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZqEDjKEtV_PEDRmhNCoGJFVRMOgSsC6zclwEdSxCRKmA7ZGLfvziSdScPR8logwhZ-qRUDSiLul5WsmXTYUbRnEi-tF28-r77xIjgxpr5nxtEU-2haWMt7Ipg01RL4sS2tJG3Qd-EWQaS/s400/IMG_1143.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557718889089713762" /><div style="text-align: center;">End result!
