CANADA DAY...just a bit late!

CANADA DAY COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BETTER! MY SISTER LANAE ARRIVED IN NIAGARA FALLS ON JUNE 29TH, ON HER WAY HOME FROM BACKPACKING EUROPE FOR OVER 3 MONTHS. SHE CAME DOWN TO CLEVELAND WITH US SO WE WEREN'T ACTUALLY IN CANADA FOR OUR SPECIAL HOLIDAY BUT WE GOT SOME SPECIAL STUFF TO SHOW OUR CANADIAN PRIDE!!! IT WAS SO NICE TO HAVE HER HERE TO CELECBRATE!!!

So I just had to through this picture in of Lincoln sleeping in a drawer at the hotel in Niagara, and he slept amazing!!!

Us in our Canadian outfits, thanks to Aarika, my kids had outfits too and Lanae & I bought ours up in Niagara. Matchy, matchy! Lincoln is a happy guy eh!

Gotta love Vienna in the background, so cute!

Our little family and my hubby even wore his Canadian Baseball classic hat all day for us. So sweet!

My warmer from Peggy was on for like a week straight. Love it! Now I just need the American one for the 4th.

What a girl my little lady is, all bonked up.

Maternity Photos

Back at the beginning of April, Jenny did a quick maternity photo shoot and here are some of the pics I have so far! We were quick and despite some drizzle we got what we needed and Jenny did amazing with her prego tummy too. Thanks so much Jenny!

I absolutely love this one of Vienna, she was always so cute with giving my tummy loves and asking about "baby Lincoln"

This is the classic prego pose and it turned out really well. I love that I have pretty much the exact same one with Vienna.

This one is another one I want to do with all of my pregnancies, but with different shoes each time. It turned our perfect! I can't wait to put it up on my wall!
We have some of the whole family and can't wait to see how they turned out :)

The Daily Grind

First of all I have to say...Look at me with my Patriotic background, now that I am officially American and stuff! Too bad my cousin can't make a Canadian background for Canada day on July 1 then I could change it to this one after that for July 4th.

This is Vienna's potty chart! It is completely full and yes she is potty trained!!! Yeah! It is still a bit stressful and outings make me nervous, but she sure is doing a great job!

Playing at the Splash park will be often this summer

more splash playing

Vienna loving to be as close as possible to her baby brother. Literally as close as possible...

Vienna and one of her best friends Evie at the park. They have so much fun together!

Look at this little boy looking up at his sister. So sweet!

Aww!!!

Vienna with another one of her best friends, Milo!!!

Mike playing basball with his interfaith league. I know you can't tell but his Jersey has a picture of Angel Moroni with a baseball bat and they are called the "Latter Day Sluggers"

This is what Vienna and Evie spend the whole game doing...playing and dumping the dirt by the bench on each other. Oh its so gross to wash her hair afterward. At least they are having fun!

Lincoln looking so peaceful at nap time!
Life has been fun with 2. I am so glad I have 12 weeks off of work. We have been spending lots of time outdoors enjoying the weather. Up next...Picking up Lanae in Niagara Falls and having her visit for a while. Canada Day, Fourth of July and much much more!!!
