This and That from 2007

Jael at auntie Lavonne's house.






















Totally lovin' the hot tub!

















My two water babies.













Caleb got to go see a big rig with Papa and Uncle Rob.



































Jael in the backyard.




















Jael and Caleb at the Calgary zoo in August. Caleb is trying to be a kangaroo, I think?

















Crazy kid!








Even in a box, I'm still a great poser!
























Who needs a trampoline when they have a little sister?









































Caleb takes a picture of his sister being tickled. Not bad for a two year old photographer!








Jael checks to see if her toes still taste as good as she remembers them...











And Caleb is not to be outdone!














Havin' a blast at the Vancouver aquarium.
















Ok, maybe not the whole time was fun?!







The various Jael stare-downs

1. The death stare - this is the one we get when she is in the middle of a temper tantrum.



2. The drugged up Huh???!










3. The Classic Frown - She really loves this one and will do it until you do it back to her, and then she cracks a grin.








4. Need I say more?








And here we have Caleb trying to look all innocent.











Sleeping on Mama - favourite past-time number one.























Being tickled - Favourite past-time number two!


















In case you are wondering - Yes, Jael is an aspiring Mad Scientist and Proud of it!









She'll minor in teaching daddies and grandpas how to take care of babies.







And Caleb will not give up his dream of being an engine driver one day.

Guilty as Charged!

Ok, ok, so I said that I would update this site more frequently than a website. Then I got distracted by Facebook and the ease of updating pictures and info there. I hope to be able to be a better girl this year and update my blog properly. To start, I'll just post a few random pics from the year to update you all on what has truly been happening in our busy little home.

Caleb's 2nd Birthday Party

Again, I've made photo albums in facebook which are much easier for me to upload, so I'll just put the links here. You don't have to have a facebook account to see the pictures. Thank you to all who made it out and endured the cramped quarters indoors. We had a blast anyway, and Caleb LOVED his party!

The Invite Part 2

I was much later in getting this one together. Couldn't decide on any one pictures, so I put a few.
Caleb will be turning 2 on June 9th, and we are able to have his party on the day. He didn't get a huge bash last year because of the new baby in the house, so we thought we'd give him a good one this year.

Please join us for a "Cars" themed party. Hopefully we can be outdoors, but the weather report calls for rain, so cross your fingers! We'll have the BBQ on with lots of food, so come hungry!

Jael's 1st Birthday Party

There are too many pictures from Jael's party to post here, so I'll just put in links to the albums. Thank you to all of you who were able to make it out and make Jael's first birthday special!

The Invite

Jael will be a 1 year old on May 2nd, so we're having an early birthday party for her before Ezra leaves for Romania. In case you are family or friend and never got this invitation in your e-mail, the details are here and you are welcome to join us. For anyone who can't make it, we'll be having a birthday party for Caleb on June 9th, when he turns two, so you'll have another chance (I'll try to have a little more fun stuff for the kids to do then too.)

April Fun







Here are a few photos just hanging out in the backyard.
