Christmas Fun!

This is what happens when you don't have a bundt pan and use an angel food pan instead. Those are some big buns but they were tasty!
Aden's first present. We had our Cooke Christmas Dec 24th. He's so patient.

A piggy bank! Awesome! Now Aden's got a place for all his money.

The cash register and computer are big hits!

So's the giant pen from England! Thanks Marg and Geoff!

Having a little chat with cousin Keira! So cute!

Christmas morning! Stocking goodies!

Such a cutie! Him not me! haha!

Mr. Potato Head Team Canada was a hit with the boys.

Action shot!

I love this one. He's only 2.5 years old and already knows that clothes are no fun. I like clothes!

That's going to hurt the eye balls. Say cheese!

What did Santa bring? A bounce and slide! Wicked!

Playing games with Papa T and cousins Cami and Emma.

That boy has no fear. He likes to throw himself out of the bounce castle down the slide! What a goof!

On the 26th we went swimming at the Ramada. Aden loved the wave pool. He would scream with glee everytime a wave hit him!

This is after they went down the water slide. You can't tell from this picture but Aden loved the water slide. He wanted to go "again, again!".

And that about sums it up for us. It was a great, busy and very fun Christmas. Bring on 2010!

Merry Christmas!

Okay so this isn't a Christmas picture but it does make me giggle! I just wanted to say Merry Chritmas to all. I hope your holidays are safe and filled with tons of laughter!!!

Boys and their toys!

I'm not really sure why but lately I've been finding Aden in his toy bin which is really a laundry basket from Ikea. It works though. At any rate he seems to like to sit with his toys. I'm not complaining, it makes for funny pictures! Enjoy!

Music for the Masses!

Back by popular demand! haha! I used to have a playlist on my Crafted by Lindy blog. I removed it because I wanted that blog to be more business focused. I was worried my music would bother some but mostly I removed it because it made my blog load too darn slow.

I've had a few people now tell me that they're sad I took it down as they used to put it on and listen to it around their homes. So I've brought it back! I've added a few new songs and will keep adding as I find ones I like! It's down at the bottom and it starts automatically. If you don't want to listen to it just hit the pause button and it'll stop playing.

Hope you enjoy my tunes!

Holiday pics.....

Aden's got this thing recently where he likes to put on the Santa hat and then he asks for a picture and wants to then see it on the back of the camera. We must have 30 Santa hat pictures by now. Silly boy.

Last weekend we decorated the tree. Aden really liked it but had problems getting the ornaments on the tree.

The candy canes were much easier.

All done!

Gimme a kiss!

More hat pictures....

This one cracks me up!

Happy Holidays all!

Funny Converstation

Conversation between Jay and Aden......

Jay: You're pretty cute. You're going to be a heartbreaker when you grow up. Sorry about the baldness.

Long Pause


Aden: That's okay daddy.


(I laugh cried over this one)

Vacation November 2009

There are a lot of pictures so be prepared.

Last week we went on a cruise. We went from Calgary to Long Beach where we spent one night. We then boarded the cruise ship and went to Catalina Island, CA. The next day we went to Ensenada Mexico followed by a day at sea and then back to Long Beach and home. Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. We went with our friends, Rick and Adrienne.

Boarding the Cruise Ship

Playing a little mini golf.

The Queen Mary that's docked by the Cruise Ship port.

Jason chillin'.

We had to tender from the Cruise Ship to Catalina Island. They basically open up doors on the side of the ship, much smaller boats pull up and you get on and they take you to the island.

View from the top of Catalina Island. That's our cruise ship on the left.

The bay at Catalina Island

View from the hills of Ensenada Mexico. Our cruise ship is in the middle of the pic by the flag.

Shopping on one of the side streets in Ensenada.

The four of us and the giant Mexican flag. That sucker was huge!

Getting ready to get back on the ship.

Chillin' on one of the decks at sunset on our last night.

I think this picture turned out pretty good for just goofin' around.
