This is the Place Heritage Park

There was a free day at the park, so we decided to take the girls to check it out. We had so much fun and the girls loved it. We got to ride a couple trains, pet some baby animals, and Mags got to ride a horse. She was thrilled.

We finally found something that Chloe is nervous about. As we were in line for the horse ride, she realized what was going on, she looked at the horses and then back at me and very emphatically said 'NO'. It was really funny.

It was nice that it was free, plus we even got free ice cream cones.

Maggie on the boat.

It's a replica of the boats that brought many of the pioneers across to America.

Maggie has many ancestors that were part of these groups.

I wanted Dave to do the Titanic 'I'm the king of the world', but he wouldn't....what a party pooper.

Enjoying her ice cream

Loving the baby sheep.

Maggie's horse ride. Very exiting!

Sharing some snacks while waiting for the train.

Coco and I on the train at the end of our day.

Dave and Mags.

We are so glad that we went, we all had a great time.

These are just a couple random pictures, they are cute and I want my Mom to see them :)

They don't quite understand that the markers are for paper.

They both thought they were gorgeous with their pretty 'makeup' on....I'm not so sure.

Thank goodness for washable markers.

I came to check on Chloe and this is what I found.

She did this all on her own. She got the cookies, climbed into the chair and set herself up for a nice little meal :)

The Dirty Dash

This past weekend Dave and I embarked on a crazy adventure. A few months ago my cousin called and asked us to be on their team to do a 5K Mud Run. I really didn't know what a Mud Run was, but on a whim I said 'yes', I'm glad I did. I'm also glad that I didn't know what it was or I probably would have said 'no'.
It was really fun and I would do it again next year (if I'm not Preggers).
This little video gives a pretty good idea what it was all about. It was tough and muddy and slippery. We didn't make it in the video, but we weren't doing any back flips or anything like that....I was just happy to make it to the end :)

Easter Fun and Easter Dresses

We've had a fun Easter weekend. The girls got to dye lots of eggs and we had a fun time at Grandma and Grandpa Betts'. We did an Easter Egg Hunt at the Moons and had a great time with Jonah and Sophie.

Maggie and Chloe wore their Easter Dresses to church today and they looked so cute. I took lots pictures and I'm posting my favourites.

Happy Easter Everyone!

This Time For Africa

This video made me cry this morning. That's what happens when a bug chunk your heart is in Africa. I think I'm missing my Mom and Dad.

A Picture Post

Just a little post of what we have been up to lately.

Looking cute in matching outfits from Aunt Liss.

Messy faces.

Usually most meals end with Chloe doing a facial with whatever she was eating.

Potty Training!

Mags was a superstar when it came to potty-training... it only took one day and she had it down, I was so proud (and relieved).

Chloe was really into the whole thing. She would sit in the Dora chair and cheer just like Maggie was doing. She also enjoyed the chocolate chips every time Maggie had success.

Chloe's hat, she did this all by herself and was so proud.

Like I said...totally into potty-training!

I think this girl is going to be a breeze to train.

Matching Jammies, popcorn and Mary Poppins, you can't get much better than that.

Squishy Face!

Maggie turns 3. Chloe was such a good 'helper' with Maggie's presents.

Legos with Daddy

She was so excited about her new legos.

I love the look of concentration.

Blowing out her candles. I made an ice cream cake and it tasted exactly like Dairy Queen's.

Playing with Stella on her birthday. It was a good day :)

TRES!!!

Dear MagPie!

It's hard to believe that you are already 3 years old. You are smart and beautiful and an absolute light in my life. I love you so much, my amazing little girl.

At 3 you;

-love letters, you know all the letters, their sounds and signs and are starting to sound out words. You already recognize many words.

-are completely potty-trained after only 2 weeks. You wake up dry even after having a drink in the night.

-don't like sleeping alone. You've started having some bad dreams and have woken up screaming, it breaks my heart. You usually end up with Daddy sleeping with you, or you sleeping in 'Mommy's bed'.

-love to 'Snuggle Mommy'...which means, having me tickle your back and face.

-love Princesses, Wonder Pets, Disney movies, and much to your parent's chagrin, The Fresh Beat Band (yuck).

-are completely addicted to the computer, nickjr.com and starfall.com are your favourite sites.

-love nursery

-love to sing and know so many songs. You pretend that the bulb syringe is your microphone and you really get into your songs.

-are such a wonderful and patient big sister. You love your Coco, even when she is a big pest or mean to you, you are very forgiving and sweet.

-adore your Grandparents.

-are very social and love to play with other kids. You think other kids are hilarious and laugh and giggle when you play with them.

-eat really well and love your fruits and veggies.

-are very polite. You are quick to say 'please, thank you and sorry'. When we've gone out to eat you say 'thank you for the food' to our waitress, and when we were on a walk the other day, you said 'oh, sorry' to someone who had to jog around us. You always thank me when I finish doing your hair in the morning.

-are very much loved by your Mom, Dad, sister and many other friends and family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY GIRL

She is looking so grown up :)
