Happy Easter

We'll almost Easter. Reid, Nolan and I are on our way to uncle Ty's tomorrow. First road trip for Nolan! And doing it solo. Yikes. I think it'll be good. Going to the gym in the morning, and he rarely sleeps while I'm there. So I figure he'll be tired when we're done and sleep all the way to Edmonton?? I hope. Reid is good I the car these days. Make sure I have the iPad charged and we should have no issues. Weather has been nice so the roads should be a breeze. Reid is pretty excited. He loves his uncle Ty. We packed up all his toys and clothes today. He totally helped. We seem to have a lot to bring (Christien would hate it), but I knew he wanted to play hot wheels with uncle Ty. And then there's puzzles and colourings... So, you do what you gotta do.

Went to the zoo today! Nolan's first time. He was in the baby Bjorn the whole time. Seemed to like it. We saw one of the last penguin walks. It was pretty cool. The King Penguins have been doing a little walk about of the zoo for the last few months. It's getting to warm for them to keep it up so I thought this would be fun. Reid loves penguins. Although, we pulled up at the zoo and the lot was blocked. Line up to enter the parking lot and then it dawned on me. Beautiful day..., Spring break.... Right.... It was jammed packed in there. Worst then a Saturday. Oh well. We had fun.

Excited to see the folks tomorrow too. They got back from their sojourn in Bali last week. Will get to check out the progress on their house too. Exciting! Sent Ty on a shopping spree for me. Eggs. Food dye. Milk. Lol. All the stuff I need but it's just been too hard to get these guys organized to do it. You ca only do so many chores in a day. They deserve a little fun too plus Reid is off school this week.

Hoppy Easter to all!

Reid's Birthday

Okay, so it was his birthday a few weeks ago!  My little guy turned three.  We had a great party.  Decided to do a swimming party at Village Square (same place that we had his party last year).  The kids seems to have a really good time.  We had food, then played a game where everyone won a coloring book and, thanks to my husband, we had crayons for them to color in for a bit, then everyone in the pool.  Not sure if the dads or the kids had more fun.  At one point I came back to the pool deck and the mums and some of the kids were sitting around, when I asked where the dads were, I was told that they were in line to go down the big slide one more time.  So much fun.  Here's a couple of pictures.  The cake, I wish I could take total credit for, but really, I found it on Pinterest, made the actual cake and then got Christien to decorate it.  So he gets the credit.  I think it's awesome.

 Super cute cake!  Also delicious
 Nolan's first swim!!
