Daddy Daughter & A Day at Home


Watching Russ with Paige is time I truly cherish. I can see sincere joy in his face whenever he plays with her.

"Yes, your majesty." A little princess in training.


Dressing up is one of the joys of having girls.

Pink Sunglasses

Too funny to say much about this shot. Brooklyn likes to put her stuff on Paige. She is actually being very thoughtful; we were on our way to the park.

Pure Kid-sized Joy

Priceless fun for a 3 year old

Dancing and Singing with Lolly the Clown

While our husbands adventured with the young men to Cardston, my friend Deanne and her two girls Olivia and Natalie played at SPECTRUM, the sunshine festival at Kin Coulee Park. Paige didn't give one complaint for the 3 hours we spent there. She happily got toted around in the Baby Bjorn. My back on the other hand had something to say that evening. The girls had a blast playing on the rides, getting their face painted (the pictures didn't turn out well) and eating pocorn for dinner (that's all Brooklyn wanted). The highlight for Brooklyn was Lolly the Clown. Upon arriving home, she insisted on drawing Lolly's picture and wanted to send it to her.

Backed into a Corner



Another First

Paige sat on her own in the corner of our couch for quite awhile. Brooklyn insisted on a picture with her. Mom, do you recognize the "ballet" outfit Brooklyn is sporting? It may not be considered completely modest, but around the house it's just right.

Blue Dresses and Curly Locks




Our new camera is so fun to have, but I'm afraid that we will have so many pictures that I won't know how to store/save/present all of them. I take pictures almost daily - the girls look cute; have something cute on; are doing something cute or for the first time or second time etc etc. I could just go crazy! And then how do you balance it out. Paige is still is the not-moving-very-much stage of her life and Brooklyn doesn't quit moving. Who do you think has more pictures? I'm pretty sure it isn't because I love one more than the other. ANYWAY, both Brooklyn and I did our hair curly for church. She LOVES to be twins with mom. People thought it suited her. Funny, they didn't say anything about mine and Paige, well, she doesn't have much to curl.

In a Tree Top





Brooklyn decided she wanted to climb up this tree while playing at Strathcona park. We spent the afternoon there on a lovely day in between many rainy ones. We soaked up the sunshine while adventuring along the many paths and throwing rocks into the South Saskatchewan River. The wonderful spring day was enjoyed by our whole little family.
