The kids love their cousins <3

I have to say I lOVE LOVE babysitting my nieces and nephews:) the kids have many cousins on both sides and luckily they are all somewhat the same ages to play with. This weekend I was thrilled to have Charlie and Dylan for the night. Dylan is a changed little boy! Dylan last month was , let me say it kindly.... Not the best little boy to babysit. I'm pretty sure he hated me and had THE BEST little scowl :) Dylan had a long and complicated story a few weeks ago with a surprise ending of his appendix out.... Well with that appendix was his grumpy attitude cause OMG we have a new little man and he is the best! We had such a blast and he loves his Aunty Jana! Logan and Dylan became best friends and Dylan kept grabbing Logan's hand to walk with him. Logan loved it and thinks he is ready to start babysitting ;) We had a great day, with two cancelled ball games we had to get out of house so finished the day with taking them to the YMCA family night. It's one of our favorite things to do and a great way to wear them out! Well here are some pictures of our sleepover playdate with cousins. I look forward to always having as many cousins as I can over as we do love it. Ok cheesy post over. Here is some pics.

Adrian is how old????

6 YEARS OLD !!!! I can't believe Adrian is 6 years old!! Every year Adrian always asks for a big birthday party like his older brother Logan does but he never really had any friends as he was so young so I always told him when he was in Kindergarten we would give him a party and he could invite his friends. If it was up to him he would have invited his whole class  but we got him down to 8 plus a few others so last week we celebrated his party with 12 kids and a lot of fun at Chilliwack Gymnastics Club :) Adrian had a blast at his party, it went very well!! I made him a lego cake as he wanted and it turned out not to bad !! Here are some pictures of his party, his actual birthday and his cake. Happy Birthday Buddy!

Ranch times!

Well to start a blog and not mention out "second home" would be just wrong! Literally last year we called It home for 3 straight months. Not recommended! Anyway a few years ago after much persisting from Isaac about a place we had to look at called "Black Mountain Ranch". It's a resort camper spot with lots of amenities and things to do there etc. We ended up buying in our very first visit and it has been the best decision! We have had a ton of amazing memories there so far and met some amazing people! Colby was under a year old when we bought and the first year it seemed he cried and wanted to be held the entire time (which being at a dirt campsite is no fun) haha. Now 3 years later he is almost 4 and runs and plays the entire time so it's much better. The kids have met friends and spend all day biking with them and swimming and playing at field etc. we bought empty lot at first and moved a trailer over and now getting nicely settled. Anyway too much to say about this place but wanted to throw some pictures in from Easter weekend a few weeks back. The weather was summer weather and was an amazing weekend!!! I'm looking forward to a life time of memories there. Maybe one day the kids bringing their girlfriends and wives and kids etc! Ok here is some pictures of our spot and our trip :)
