Happy Birthday Aidan!

Wow, cant believe our little guy is 3 years old! He had a great time this past weekend celebrating his birthday along with Easter up in Gibsons. The weather turned out to be pretty nice and it would of been perfect if Carter hadnt had to work and miss it all!

Our other news is that Clara is finally walking. She must of overheard my dad and I talking while we were with her outside playing, I was wondering when she was ever going to start! It seems like she has been at the point of taking only a few steps forever. Anyways, we went inside and she literally stood up on her own and walked across the kitchen, the farthest she has ever gone and she hasnt stopped. It is so cute to see her teetering around although she already has a couple of war wounds which includes a black eye from falling on a toy in the play area of the ferry. I am sure it will only be a little while till she is chasing after Aidan, I know he is going to love that :)

Sunny Palm Springs!

What a great sunny week we had in Palm Springs! We went to stay with Carter's parents at their place that they just bought last year, they have a prime spot in their complex, you can see the pool from their deck! Aidan had a great time and loved being in the pool. We all went to Disneyland on our 2nd day there, it was a long day but worth it. Aidan was a little tired for the first half but perked up in the evening and wanted to keep going on more rides.

Clara had a nice time at home with my mom for the week. I think she enjoyed not having her big brother around telling her what to do :) We are headed up to Gibsons for the long weekend without Carter as he has to work. Can't believe that Aidan will be turning 3 on Monday, where has the time gone?




Hanging out in the pool on our last day

Aidan and I in the teacup at Disneyland, unfortunately the actual ride was closed that day

Aidan loved the Dumbo ride!

The lady that took our picture forgot to say 1,2, 3, so not all of us are looking but our only group shot


A few various shots from February that didnt make the last blog...

Our attempt at a family self portrait on our last trip to the zoo, oops, we almost had it!
