Lest We Forget....

Thank you to the brave Men and Women who serve our country with honour, your our heroes.

Lest We Forget......

Trick or Treat.

Well, it has been forever since I have visited or updated this old blog.
Life has been so busy and the monkeys are growing inches taller every time I turn around. I seen the evidence last night when I put on their black hooded cloaks from last year, unsuspectingly they were inches too short!! As a Mom, you just wish you could turn back the clock, stop them from growing.
Last evening was so much fun, their costumes looked fantastic and they come home with a huge loot of candy(which we donate every year, after 2 days of letting them gorge). The weather held out for the most part, a little rain didn't dampen the spirit of the ghouls.
Hope you had a safe and spooktacular Halloween....boo!

Merry Christmas to you.

From our Family to yours,
Merry Christmas and wishing you a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.
Kerri, Jen and Jill.

Happy 6th Birthday...

Happy Birthday to my Jilly-Bean.

I love you higher than the mountains, deeper than the ocean and brighter than the stars...

Mommy, Daddy and your big Sis, Jen.

Trick or Treat.

I can not believe the costumes the monkey's Daddy made them this year!!

He paper mached them pumkin heads, they look incredible!!

In this photo you can see how he supported and distributed the weight so they wouldn't be too heavy on their little heads and shoulders. There is a bike helmet inside and some straps for their shoulders.

Here is the paper mache product before we started the painting process. We painted them black first, the a white primer coat, from there we brushed green for shading, a burnt orange for base colour and a yellow for highlighting. Then we varnished them for waterproofing.

The end results are amazing..

Trick or Treat everyone, have fun and stay safe..

Booo..

Happy Thanksgiving

Every year we go and take a few photo for a Daddy's Day card, we go to the same spot, a rose garden near us. It's beauty and serenity never ceases to amaze me. It inspires me as it unfolds the perfect backdrop to capture my girls beauty.

I am one proud Mommy....
