Easten's Dr. Appt

So Easten had his 6 months shots last friday! He did GREAT he didn't even cry on the first one, he looked at me and then the nurse...and that was it. Then on the second one he cried cause that one stings! See here they only do 2 shots, but they have all the stuff that you get in the states it's just all within those 2 shots!! Much more easier....anyways he has done so well, still sleeping through the night, it's like he never even had them!! Thanks Nicole, your soo good!!

He is a 22lbs and 13oz, almost 23lbs and is 28 inches long!! He's in the 95th percentile for his weight and 85th for his height!! He's going to be a big boy just like daddy! He is almost crawling, he scoots...and gets his one arm under him and away he goes! He gets up but hasn't quiet figured it out....any day now! He is such a happy baby and is so good...never cry's unless he's hungry or tired and even then it's not really a cry!! We love you monkey!!

Our Summer & Fall

Wow I can't believe how far behind I am!! Where to start!! So my Mom, Grandma, Aunt Pam, Cousin Allie and Sister where here the start of Sept.! We had a blast we did so much! It was Taras's Birthday on the 11th and Brady's was the 12th!! He turned TWO! I know I can't believe it either! It was fun to have them here the celebrate! We started harvest when they were here so my Aunt, Allie & Granny got to see it!

Shauna flew in on Labor Day so we went into Winnipeg to pick her up! And I was ready to do some shopping....only thing was there was NO STORES OPEN!! Seriously, my family was like WOW! I was not happy I needed to get Brady a bike for his birthday and Taras a tool box!! So oh well, we got shauna and my mom was like Hun your tire seems a little low? OK we'll go get gas and put some air in it! Oh no as I'm putting air in, the damn air valve POPS OFF!! And my tire is flat with in secs! I was like great now WHAT!! And I couldn't go and get it fixed anywhere cause everything was CLOSED!! I was not happy AT ALL!! It was a good thing we were at a gas station, so me and shauna go inside and ask if anything I mean anything is open and tells the guy what has happened, he says nothing is open, I can call a tow truck? Fine. So he does and this guy comes and is like wow I haven't changed a tire in like 30 years! WHAT?! Well he's no good, at all, and can't get my spare off! I'm calling Taras telling him what's happened and he says tell him to cut it off and put the spare on...I tell this to the guy and he calls in to see who has cutters. He tells me that someone will be here soon! It's already been like an hour and were like 2 1/2 hrs from home. So this guy comes and he was like the best!! Man did he know his stuff!! All in all he got my spare off and put it on!! Thanks Kevin!! He was a life saver!! We sure were laughing about it on the way home!! It only took 2 hrs to do it!

Then the day they left we all went to the pumpkin patch!! We had so much fun, it was so hard to say good bye and go our own ways. Thanks guys for coming here and helping out with everything!! Love and miss you all...xoxo!

Easten is 7 months and is healthy as a horse! He is 22 lbs and is as happy as can be! He has his two bottom teeth it's so cute when he smiles and you can see them!! He is such a great baby and we could not be any happier that he is in our family!! He is just about to crawl...I told Taras that he will be crawling by the end of this month..so we'll see! He loves brady and is always laughing at him! He likes Bauer too!! He will sit and watch him, and laughs when he walks by, it's so cute!!

I went with him, cause dad was busy working, but he came when he could! So one of the days he wanted Unc (uncle that's what Brady calls Ryan) to go in with him, so poor Ryan had no swimming shorts with him, but he still got in! Thanks Ry!!

A LiTtLe BiT oF EvErYtHiNg....

I know what you are all thinking SNOW IN MAY?? Yep it snowed here on the 13th of may!! That's Canada for ya. It's so crazy, we got up that morning and was like what the heck! I didn't believe it would, they kept calling for it and we sure did get it! My Dad could not believe it he was like I'm going back to where it's like 80's! The snow is all gone but it's still cold here, it's only like in the 40's. It's supposed to get warmer!! Let's HOPE!!

My cute Dad surprised me on the 5th of may! He drove up! It was a nice surprise he would always say to me you know one day and I am just going to show up, I would say yeah right!! And he did! It was fun having him here, Brady loved it too! He hadn't been here since last October, so it was the first time that he saw Easten!! He sure does miss you guys!! Thanks dad for everything!! Love ya....


For Mother's Day we went up to clear lake and took Brady to the playground which he loved, he would be on one thing and then off to the next! Then we met up with Taras' parents and went for dinner!! It was a great day! Taras made me breakfast and lunch and I got a message which I can't wait to go and use! (sister will we have to go and get one while you are here)





There is no fear in this KID!!

So my cute Aunt Heidi made this barn and animals for Brady!! She is so good at it! She made all of us and Bauer and Brady's New Holland Tractor and some cows, sheep, pigs and chickens!! He loves it! Thanks Aunt Heidi!!

He was so excited when he saw the tractor!

Here he is opening it!!

We got Brady this pop-up-tent!! He loves it, he takes all of his toys in there and plays! Here he is with all of his tractors!! He sure does love them!!

It has a tunnel so he can crawl through to another tent!! It's pretty cool!

Here he is with his golf clubs!! Thanks Tammie & Rick!

So Taras puts Brady to bed when he is home, and he ALWAYS, ALWAYS falls asleep and I have to go in and wake him up, so I decided to take a picture!! So priceless!!

My boys on my B-day!! Brady loves giving Kisses to Easten!!

My Birthday Cake!! Brady and Dad made it for me the icing and everything it was way yummy!! It was a good day we had some friends over and Taras Dad came! Taras made dinner it's always nice when it's my b-day I sure do get spoiled!! Thanks Baby I love you!! I got a gift card to Victoria's Secret from the boys and Taras can't wait to go shopping!! Thanks Baby!!

The other night Brady was down stairs with us, cause Taras' mom and dad came over to see the boys and give me my b-day present cause Steph (Taras' mom) and sister were leaving the next morning and wouldn't be here for it. Well Brady never comes down stairs after his bath, we get him ready and he goes to bed, well for some reason he wanted Dad to put a diaper on ELMO!! SO funny what they think of! So he went and got a diaper and gave it to dad, and he put it on!! Here are a few pics!! So funny!

Then he decided to get in the bag that my gift was in, like he doesn't have enough toys!

We had a Winnie roast awhile ago, cause it was nice! Brady LOVED it, it was fun!! We have a fire pit on the side of the house and in the summer at night we will have a bomb fire!! It's so fun living in the country you can do so much!!

Brady is blowing on the fire cause it's HOT!!

TrOuBlE....tRoUbLe....TrOuBlE

I don't even know where to start...I had quite the morning a few days ago. I was getting Easten ready cause we were going to see some friends that afternoon! When I give Easten his baths, I put Brady in his room or he just gets into EVERYTHING I mean EVERYTHING! So I put him in there and he always looks at his books. So I was dressing Easten and Brady was sure QUIET, and I know there is nothing he can get into. So after I got Easten dressed I went in his room and this is what I FOUND......

I could not believe it! He had a MARKER...I didn't even know what to do, or say, or where I should start! IT was EVERYWHERE on his hands, shirt, pants, walls, baseboards, the door, his dresser, the baby gate, so I a grab the camera (of course) and then I put Easten in his crib and ran down stairs to get my Mr. Clean Eraser. (which didn't work that WELL) I started on the wall and as I am TRYING to get this off I called my mom and said what takes marker off the WALLS! She said OH NO....trying no to laugh!! What happened so I told her and she said try some alcohol or hairspray. Then she said go and google it....ya like I have time to go and google!! So I got off the phone with her and called my sister and told her! She was like oh that cute little monkey laughing again!! I was like YA just you wait!! She was like calm down it's fine. I said sure it's not your walls! So I got my hairspray and BAM it came off of EVERYTHING but the door, but that we can paint!! So after I got it all cleaned up I went and googled on how you get it OUT of JEANS, and of course they were his good ones! So while I was doing that my mom called and said she went and googled it and I said ya I am doing that right now! All in all it's fine everything is good, it all came out! Now I can look back at this and laugh!! At least it wasn't anything to serious and he didn't get hurt!! He is quite the little MONKEY!! You are probably wondering where he got the marker?? Well he has this measuring chart on his door and it came with a marker so you can mark how tall he his. Well I NEVER even thought to take it out, even after Taras told me too. He pulled it down and wall-la that is how he got the marker!!

AWWW...sleeping

So when Brady goes to bed, he holds onto our fingers! I put him down for his nap and Taras puts him to bed! Well today he was just not falling asleep, I was in three for about half an hour. The phone rang and I went to get it, and then I had to get something off the computer. Well I couldn't hear him in there so I thought maybe he was looking at a book! (cause there are no toys in his room) but when I opened the door I found Brady sleeping with his elephant and his horsey, so cute! He had fallen asleep all on his own! What a good boy....so now I am going to try and do this and see if it works! Lets HOPE!! =)
