Fish & Chips

It's been an exceptionally cold summer this year. So any glimpse of sun we've rushed outside. I love going to White Rock beach in the summer and relaxing on a blanket while we eat fish & chips. It was a bit chilly but we still made it happen. It was such fun family time!

1 month

Can't believe you're already 1 month Mr. Cyrus!

You bring us so much joy. We love all your smiles and the sweet way you snuggle in close. At your 1 month doctors appointment you weighed 11 pounds 11 ounces and had grown

to 24 inches long. Good job buddy! xx

The reason we have a bed rail

Every night Chad goes and checks on Chase before bed and this is what he found when he went in one night last week. Chase is a pretty wild sleeper. Hence the reason why we still use a bed rail and have a blanket against the wall. ;)

Say Cheese :)

We did a newborn photo shoot with the very talented Carmen Vandyck. If you haven't

seen her work check our her website www.carmenvandyckphotography.com. She's amazing!

Here are a few of my favorites...

Remembering Gramps

Last Tuesday morning I woke up and found Chad still at home. His eye were wet as he told me his Gramps had passed away. Immediately I broke down with him. Gramps was an incredible man that had over come many obstacles in his life. He suffered a stroke last fall but managed to defy the odds again and survive another 7 months. On June 14th he suffered another stroke while sleeping. Thankfully we went peacefully. Gramps touched my life in many ways. He was fun loving, genuine, sincere and loved everyone just the way they were. I'm so thankful for the heritage and values he passed on to my husband!

Chad's cousins from Edmonton came on the weekend and we all headed over to Sidney for the Memorial. It was an amazing tribute! I found myself missing my own Papa and crying more than Chad at times. It's never easy to say goodbye but the important thing is to keep their memories alive and cherish the times we did have together. Love you Gramps!

Date night

I'm so behind with blogging so I'm going to do my best to catch up over the next few days. Life with a newborn & toddler is definitely busy! I'm so thankful for this season though. Chad & I managed to get out for a date when Cy turned 1 month. It was so fun to hold hands and just be together. My husband always goes above and beyond to make me feel special and this was no exception. He came home with 3 purple roses (in our house 3 of anything means "I love you"). He had also ordered my Cyrus charm for my bracelet. If you haven't heard of Lucy Ann jewelry check out the website. The charms and jewelry are so adorable. On the charm they put your child's name and their birthday.

Of course being alone with my husband made me so thankful for the awesome partner I have to raise these little boys. Chaddy always brings a smile to my face and is such a gift to me. Loved date night and I can't wait for the next one!

Music & Me

I signed Chase up for a 6 week music class with the lovely Rachael Ballard. The class was such a hit. All the kids loved learning about a new instrument each week, music notes, tempos and lots of other fun things. It was a fun date with my Chase each week before little Cyrus arrived! Here are a few pictures from our last class.
