Baby Steps!
So today is the day that Spencer decided that he was ready to pull himself up on the furniture. He pulled himself up on his knees about 3 or 4 times this week. But today is the day he decided he could get up on his feet. And how did he decide to do it. He pulled himself up on Henry's Firestation. So, so cute!

New Stuff
So I had a party this weekend for Stella and Dot Jewelery and a Scentsy party together. I ordered some new yummy scents to warm. I also ordered some new earrings and a necklace. I can't wait to get them. Aren't they so pretty?

Family Day
Well this morning I woke up to Henry saying that he wanted to watch Tinkerbell (I know a 3 year old boy that loves Tinkerbell - it makes me laugh every time he asks). Well I couldn't find the movie and that is what started our day off, crying. And lots of it. Talk about waking up on the wrong side of the bed. Then he wouldn't eat breakfast, wouldn't stop crying and then he started to burn up. My poor little boy, sick, sick, sicky. I feel so bad for him. He looks like every part of him is aching. The thing is when you ask how is feeling, he'll say 'Doing Good', even when you know he feels like poo. My poor little guy. Hope you start feeling like yourself my Love.
Here is a photo of Henry from the photo shoot we did this week. This is one of my favorites because he doesn't look 3 in this photo. He looks so cute and mature for his age. Enjoy.

Family Pictures
We took family photos this past week. When prepping for the photos I asked Justin for his opinion on what color we should wear. Not a good idea when he is a photographer and decided to be artsy this time. He told me he wanted us to wear BLACK. All black. Well at first I was like no way. All black that won't work. Then after a discussion we decided to go with it. Well I went shopping and found a black sweater vest for Henry, a black Cardy for Justin and I, but I could not find anything for Spencer. So then we decided that we would incorporate some gray. So here is what we ended up with:
It was so much fun. Henry was good. Gave us a lot of good pictures. Spencer was cranky. A combination of being sick, lack of naps, and it was in the afternoon when he should have been sleeping. We got some good ones. Not a lot of smiling ones.
Anyways I'll post more pictures later.
Until next time :)

3 Months in a Flash
My, oh my it's been awhile since I've written anything. Life has been going by so fast.
Well where to start. On Nov 13 we had Henry's 3rd Birthday Party (his birthday is actually Nov 15). We did a superhero theme. He was really into Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Thundercats and just playing dress up. So we invited all the Superhero's to come dress up and ready to have a good time. Of course he was Batman, Spencer was Superman! It was a lot of fun.
Since I knew that November and December would be really busy around here I started my Christmas shopping right after Halloween. I had it all done within a week, I must say it was the soonest I have ever been done my Christmas shopping in my whole life. It was so nice not to have to worry about the presents and shopping in December when the malls get crazy!
After Henry’s Birthday I got busy with our business and was didn’t get done until the Monday before Christmas. It was nice to have everything done and so I was able to enjoy Christmas and the holidays without knowing that there was work to be done.
Christmas was such a good time. Justin was taking photos for a tournament that ran here in Calgary from Boxing day until New Year’s day. So we stayed in Calgary for the holidays. We had our first Christmas in our new house, with just the four of us. We decided that since it was going to be our first Christmas in our new house that we wanted to have a real tree. It was so nice to have a tree set up for Christmas (to be honest it was the first time in 6 years we have had a tree up for Christmas). The boys had so much fun opening presents and Justin and I enjoyed watching them. For dinner we had my sister and her family over as well as some friends that are from England over. We cooked the Turkey and the rest was a joint effort. It was a very good meal, good company and a good time.
After Christmas Justin and I decided that we needed a break for all the rushing of life and we decided we needed a vacation. So Justin went to work looking into when and where we would go, my job was to make sure we all had a passports. Well Spencer needed one and Henry and mine expired in May. So we went to Walmart to get our photos done. My goodness that was an experience. After 30 minutes of trying to get Henry to say still, not smile, not frown we finally got a good one of him. Spencer took about 10 minutes. He would not stop moving back and forth and he wanted to grab the camera and just have his hands up in the air. With me holding his hands and trying to get him stable we finally got a good photo of him. Finally it was my turn. It took 4 photos for me. You would think after what we went through to get the boys that I would have behaved, but no. The good news, the three of us have decent looking photos that look like us.
On January 5th Justin came home and told me that he booked us a vacation. We were going to Mexico, to the Mayan Riviera for one week all inclusive, and we were leaving in 1 week-January 12. Thank goodness that our passports were ready. The next thing was making sure we had everything for the trip. All I had to buy was sunscreen bathing suits for the boys. A quick trip to Old Navy for the swim suits and then to the pharmacy for sunscreen and we were ready to go. We had such a good time. Mexico was beautiful, the people were great and the weather was better than here.
We went to Playa Del Carmen for a day and walked down 5th Avenue and did some shopping. Henry and Justin went swimming with the Dolphins. We went to Chichen Itza (Mayan Temple Ruins). And we spent a lot of time at the beach and pool. We had such a fun time as a family.
Since coming home we have just been saying busy with the business and I have been staying busy playing Mom again, with not many distractions.
Hope you enjoy the photos.
Until next time.
