Birthday Boy!!

Graye turned 4 years old on Monday. I think this is the first year that I find it really shocking that he is 4!! We had a birthday party the Saturday before which was a great success despite my using Plan B for rain that never ended up coming.

As Graye's love of dinosaurs is still going strong, it was dinosaur cupcakes for the party this year.

I even found dinosaur candles!

Rain plans: wooden spoon puppets.

Maizie and Ella's puppets:

Yay!! A fishing rod of his very own!!

We even had guests come from the UK!! My friend Kathy was visiting with her family and was able to bring her kids to the party.

Four girlfriends. ;)

Mmmmmmmmmmm.... ccuuuuuppcaaaaakke...

Surprise Present

Ryan decided it was high time the kids began their rock and roll careers (and began bringing in those royalty cheques! Ha!), so the Youchezin side all chipped in to start them on their way. Luckily for Mommy we have a somewhat soundproof room in the house!






Works with big kids too...

Wedding Fun

Some friends got married last weekend. Unfortunately the camera batteries were mostly dead on the first picture, but I still caught a couple of Tegan with her friend at the "fountain".

Happy Canada Day!

A little late with those wishes, but better late than never I guess! We spent the morning at Diefenbaker Park, playing in the bouncy tent, going down the big slide and driving bumper boats.
