TEL 9 MONTHS

Our littlest boy aka Telly Bean, Tel Bel, Telly, Telo, Telly Bear, and Elly boo (thats what rye calls him) is 9 months old. He's crawling. jabbering, pulling himself up, eating solids, giggling, grunting, and making our lives brighter by just being in it.

I can't believe how fast his first year is flying by...

I took a few minutes (literally) to snap a few pictures of him. It had just stopped raining, the sun was beautiful and the air was still. A perfect night for a mom to take pictures of her baby!

Our sweet little man!

ITS BEEN A WHILE

So this is just a mini post to update the boys pictures. It really has been a while...

Kane and Rye are loving summer. They love being outside!

Telly is crawling, climing, standing and I think he wishes he could walk.

Here's a few summer shots...

Sorry these are all from my phone so the quality isn't totally great!

BIKERS

So last week we had to run into the city quickly for a few things. One things on my list, was to get the boys new bikes. They love riding the tricyles we have, but they couldn't get the hang of pedaling (our grass is old bumpy hay field, and the driveway is large gravel) unless it was down hill, and we have no hills in our yard... or even close by. So the boys would always push with their feet meanwhile scraping up their heels from the bar along the back, ouch!

Some friends of ours had got their little girl a strider bike, and the concept is perfect for this age of kiddos. They learn balance too so its easier to move to the next size bike.

Check out their face... they LOVE these bikes...

couldn't stop smiling!

all ready to ride :)

JUNE HAPPENINGS

So June has arrived and is slowly sneaking by without me even realizing! I wish that June had arrived in sunshiney glory... instead we've had more then our fair share of wind, rain, thunder and lightning. It seems I'm doing more soggy laundry from the two little puddle jumpers (and the daddy one) then I did in April.

This past weekend my mom and dad touched down on their way home from a trip to Toronto. My kiddo's loved having Nana and Poppa... even if it was short!

Here's some of June's happenings...

25

25 always seemed so far away... but here I am!

Bren made breakfast, after "happy birday" snuggles from 3 my little boys.

Kane was confused at first "But mama it can't be a birthday cuz we have no muffins" So we whipped up some cupcakes and the birthday was on :)

Flowers, new baby chicks, and the happy birthday song sung a few dozen times... then cupcakes and a quick visit from an old friend and her kiddos.

It was the perfect way to start being 25!

so sweet!

good helpers :)

MOWING GRASS

Lately it seems that every few weeks mother nature will give us a gorgeous sunny day.

Tuesday was one of those days... and who am I to tell my kids when its sooo beautiful outside that they have to go inside and have a nap. So this is what happens...

I LOVE moments like this...

mowing the lawn is such hard work...

happy in the sunshine!
