Lyla and I's Trip to California

The cheaper flights were out of Vancouver, so I decided it would be worth it to take the bus to the ferry, ride the ferry, shuttle bus to the airport, then finally get on the plane headed for LAX!

Lyla was a dream come true traveling both ways. On the plane ride home she slept the entire flight home.
When we arrived at the hotel we saw my dad and Bryce outside. None of my siblings have met Lyla, so as soon as Bryce saw Lyla he scooped up her car seat and took her straight to the hotel room where everyone was. I loved walking into the hotel room with everyone holding and snuggling my sweet Lyla. It was a good thing they did, because every moment after that she needed her mom :)
We had a wonderful time at Santa Monica Beach and Pier. These are MaryAnn and Adam's bikes. So Fun!





Of course I left this beautiful sign with Lyla's name on it at my Grandma's house. The L is bunnies and the Y is a bird I can't remember what the next L is but the A is 2 dolphins.




My Aunt Lori watched Lyla and Isabelle during the wedding. THANK YOU LORI! You can see I was very excited coming out to a sleeping baby :)

My Grandma Julane!


Cousins!
The reception was wonderful! The food was amazing, the venue was beautiful, and the speeches were outstanding! Congratulations MaryAnn and Adam!
After the wedding we all drove to my Grandma's house. Swam in the pool, relaxed, eat amazing food and shopped.





Wedding pictures with bride and groom deserves it's own blog post :)

Happy Birthday Owen!

Owen turned 3 on February 16th 2012. We put on a fun party with his little friends.

Yes, Mike made the Darth Vader Pinyada. This picture is a very proud moment :)


Mike made the dirt bike cake as requested by Owen.





The calm before the storm. It was a great day! I couldn't be more blessed to have Owen for my son. He loves to make people laugh. He loves to ride bikes and work outside with dad. He plays so well with his baby sister and is a big helper around the house. I do really love how when I come home from work Owen will tell me he missed me and that he loves me. My big 3 year old!

Happy Birthday Lyla!

Lyla turned 1 on February 2, 2012. Yes I'm a little late blogging about it, but better late then never :)

We had a fun family party to celebrate Lyla. It was a fun night.
On the day of Lyla's birthday we gave her a gift that morning and let her have her first cupcake after dinner. She LOVED it!




Lyla is the most perfect baby. She has always eaten and slept so well. She is so easy going and happy. One of my favourite times with her is when I give her, her soother right before I put her down for a sleep. She rests her head on my shoulder and hugs me till I put her down in her crib. Then she goes right to sleep with out a peep.
