Kellen's First Camping Trip!

 Two weeks ago, Shawn took Kellen camping at Rouge Valley in Pickering.  Kellen was pretty excited about sleeping in a tent, and in a sleeping bag.  Here is there tent (that Kellen proudly showed me).  Kellen was also excited to show me the rules of his tent - always wipe your feet; take off your shoes; and close the "door" right away!

Showing me how to zip up the tent door.

 ...and showing me how great it is to jump on the air mattress - Hey, where is Kellen's head?!?!?!

 No camping trip is complete without Kellen's best buds - Tommy (AKA:  Thomas the Train) and Jake!

 My little boy - so happy:)

 Mommy and her babies.

 Daddy and his babies.

 Kellen laughing hysterically at something.

 ...finally, Sarah smiles:)

 Roasting hotdogs for their dinner.

 ....and marshmallows!

 Yummy!

Random Pictures

 Here are some pictures from a few weeks ago, during one of Lita's visits.  Here are Sarah and Lita hanging out - chewing on Sophie, the giraffe.

 Kellen had his first "real" dentist appointment a few weeks ago.  This is the only picture from this visit, because Kellen was terrified.  He cried and held my hand for dear life - it was pretty hard to watch (he was doing the silent crying - his tears were running down his face the entire time, but he didn't make a sound).  

 Sarah after a swim - ready for her nap!

Lauren's 2nd Birthday Party!

 Lauren turned 2 on August 18th, and we celebrated her birthday the following day.  Sarah was super excited to be there to celebrate!  Kellen always loves going to visit Lauren and Parker!

 Lita dancing with Sarah.

 Could she BE any cuter!?!?!

 This might not turn out well.  Kellen has been really into picking leaves for us - so, he took full advantage of the extra height of Parker's slide!

 Lunchtime!  Lita was the only adult allowed to eat with the kids!

 Present time!  

 Lita gave Lauren a singing Snow White card - I think it was Lauren's favourite gift!  She kept opening her card to hear the song - it was pretty cute!

 Lita and Parker - boy, oh boy, does he looooove his Lita!

 Lita also gave Lauren the most adorable Snow White costume!

 Hi guys!

 ....and Kellen!

 Some quiet playtime with Sarah and Lita.

 .....ahhhh, nothing like quiet cuddles from your auntie.

 Kellen was pretty excited for the birthday cake!

 Birthday girl!

 "Happy birthday to Lauren!!!"

 Blowing out the candles was a group effort!  

Amazing weekend with Lita

 Last weekend, we went to Brockville to spend some time with Lita.  The weather was amazing, so we took advantage of this, and headed to Mallorytown Landing on Saturday.  While we were there, there was a War of 1812 celebration happening.  Here are Sarah and Lita enjoying the music - Sarah was completely taken by the music (she was even bopping away!)!

 Love.

 My boy.  Kellen had so much fun playing in the water!

 ...and had fun wearing his hat from the war of 1812!

 ....all while Sarah had a nap (and played!) in her playpen.  She even slept through the cannon balls!

 Covering his ears before the cannons were shot out - they were so loud!

 Kellen and Lita.

 I love this picture!

 Kisses for Lita.

 Sarah loved playing in the water too!

 ....Sarah also had fun playing with Lita.
