05 August 2012 - Celebrating Zachary's Birthday

Zachary's birthday is coming up so we went and celebrated it in Guelph.  It's always fun to see the kids play together after they warm up to each other.

 

Ruby will joining in on the fun in about a year and will get spoiled by her older cousins.

Ruby with her beautiful fingers.

Chloe is now walking and she'll soon be running after Connor and Caitlin while Zachary looks after all of them.

Proud Nana as Ruby watches.

Happy birthday to Zachary!!!  I can't believe he's already 14 and I believe he's a foot taller than me...probably even more.

Future sports star with Ava???

Future extreme frisbee player!!

No Caitlin, this is my money.  ;-)

Caitlin and Connor explaining their gift to Kuya Zachary.

No Brian, we are NOT having another baby!!!

August 3, 2012 - Our Final Good-bye

On this day, we said our final good-bye to my mother.  She was an amazing mother who I always looked up to.  She had a kind heart and soul and eveyone always wanted to be with her.  

It was sad but I'm so happy that she is no longer suffering.  She will remain in our hearts forever.

Connor with his Ate Alyssa playing on her iPhone.  Hopefully, he didn't break it.  We don't have any more funds to replace everything that my kids are breaking.

Caitlin trying to look tough with her Kuya Ryan.

The only time when my husband, kids and myself actually look decent.

Finally, a picture of us even though it was during a sad day.

July 14, 2012 - Splash Pad

Time to get some reprieve from this Toronto heat.
Splash pad time!!!

They were both afraid to go through the water tunnel.

Connor was trying to drink the water.  It won't work because he was too far away from it.

Monkey see, monkey do.

Waiting for the water to come out.

Still waiting....

and off she goes...

and off he goes.

Connor is sitting right on top of the water spout.

Connor being silly....

....and then his serious look.

July 8, 2012 - Pinery Provincial Park

Woke up really early for a long drive.  Actually, "really early" is a relative word but we still made good timing.  We headed off to Pinery Provincial Park for the day near Grand Bend and we all had fun with the family and friends. 

Playing football.  I tried but I'm just too small and not athletic at all.

Caitlin playing on her own.

I actually missed when Caitlin gave Kuya Jack a kiss on the cheek.

Splashing water on Tito Greg...like he wasn't wet already.

Modeling

Tried taking an action shot.

Connor's turn to get splashed by Tito Sam.

Happy birthday Daddy!!!!
