Birthday Boy!

Well Jamie turned 1!!! We had a great day. He slept late, opened gifts, went to playgroup, had a party and ate a cupcake! Pretty big day for a little dude!
Here he is with a little help from his sister.

He really enjoyed his traditional birthday cupcake. He ate it like he had been eating them for years! NOTE that I forgot to wash his face before his dessert!

Fall is here

We had a great weekend this past weekend. We ventured down the Ingraham Trail and went on a picnic with the Davison clan. We chose Madelaine lake which had a great playground, fire pits, and lots of picnic spots. Of course it was a high to 12 degrees and we were the only ones there but we had a great time!
The birch tress are showing their fall colours on the drive down.


Of course I have to include photos of the kiddos having fun in the great outdoors. Jamie loved crawling around in the sand at the playground.

This photo takes me back to high school days...standing around the fire...drinking! Of course Anna and Jake were only drinking apple juice! :)

The Hike!

My dad came to visit last week and we had a great time with him! We saw lots of the Yellowknife sights that we haven't done yet. One of the best was a trip to Cameron Falls. We were told it was an easy 15 minute hike in. It probably would have been close to that without a two year old walking....it took us about 40 minutes to get to the Falls with ALOT of whining (mostly from Grandpa haha). The falls were beautiful and well worth the walk. It was a great day and Anna slept very well that night!
