This is a picture that I took driving home one day with the kids. They are wild Turkeys. Now I just have to find a photo contest I can enter!

One day of our March Break was spent with the love of Daelin's life - Rachel. I kid you not, the joke at her house was that they were meeting their future son in law! Daelin and Rachel really do love each other which is very sweet. If you ever need to get Daelin to give you a big smile, just say Rachel's name!
The picture above is the group of kids that got together that day:
Daelin, Rachel, Kaeleigh, Jared & Kaeleb.
Below are Daelin & Rachel

It's so hard to believe that 2 years have passed and Kaeleb is just so grown up! We had a great day for his birthday. In the morning he opened a few gifts and then we went to the local indoor playground and ran off some steam.

Here is my big 2 year old! He helps me with the dishes and has grown so much. Time flies much too quickly and before you know it you don't have a baby anymore...

We recently had Kaeleb's 2nd birthday party at the community hall in Midhurst. Of course, the best parties start with the best birthday cakes! There is nothing better than lot's of help too!


Here is Kaeleb's Tractor Tom Birthday Cake. It was a big hit and both boys love to play with Tractor Tom. Thanks to Auntie Kelly who sent it all the way from England as you can't get Tractor Tom here yet! Nothing like being the first kid on the block with a new toy!
Singing Happy Birthday!
The kids are working hard at decorating cookies to eat, and Kaeleb is working hard at eating all the decorations!

Daelin and Tiffany checking out the new presents.

Kaeleb & Jill playing with Tractor TomA very tired birthday boy! It's hard work being 2!

A great time was had by all, and after his short siesta, the birthday boy was ready to try out all his new stuff with his big brother.


My mom, a friend (Dorothy) and I enjoyed the Canada Blooms show in early March. Each rose in the picture above is a single long stemmed red rose. You can see how tall they are! They were amazing.
I had to take this picture of my mother and "The Little Mermaid" for all our Danish friends out there!

These are two of my most favourite recent pictures of Daelin & Kaeleb. I can always use them as blackmail later in life too!

Here is the newest member of our family. He is a partner for Daelin's Shadow. He is also a Banded California King Snake but he is chocolate in colour rather than black. His name is Chocolate Percy, Percy for short. We are currently waiting to see if his pairing with Shadow was successful! Daelin is excited!
