Neighborhood Tranquility

Last weekend we found out that just steps away from our home leads us to a beautiful trail! We love walking in trails and usually drive to different parks around the city. Now we have one right in our neighborhood! 




So many big trees, it's so peaceful. 

 The trail still needs some work, we can't wait for it to be completed. It's great now but once they are done beautifying it even more it will be that much better :) 


We found a froggy
Little k loves nature walks. He's learning so much about nature in school, that's all we hear. Ha! "Look mom it's nature" haha 

It's a pretty long trail, great exercise and little k loved riding his 4 wheeler. 


Back on our street little k and his friends love switching cars. 
Ha! Love this pic! Neighborhood watch! 


Our little helper, watering the grass.

There's a little nest in our tree too!

Our backyard isn't complete yet, but we did get a fence which is great! 

My ideas of designing of the backyard changed from last year, we are still working on what will be best for both is and the kids. We have a lot of drawings ha! 
For now it's all about the kids, backyard fun! 




Oh and little set for Michael 

The kids have a blast jumping around. 

We are excited for a lot of summer fun!!

Long weekend fun!

Every weekend with kids is fun making memories and new traditions. This weekend it's Victoria Day Long weekend here.

First stop was a sushi lunch for little K. He was asking the last couple days and so that had to be the first thing we did to start the weekend right! 

His favorite is the salmon sashimi. Yum!!

Then we went to the McMichael Canadian Art collection. The grounds are beautiful. We will definitely be there more often this summer.


I was impressed at how little k really enjoyed looking at the Art. He would talk to it and tell us what he thought it looked like. He was a natural and comfortable as if he's been there before.





After going through the gallery, we had a nice walk around the grounds. Beautifully landscaped and art sculptures all around. Both our phones died at that point, boo!

The kids had a great day and then to complete it, we went for icecream! 

Yesterday we went to Canada's wonderland to watch the fire works with the littles! 

!




We all sat on a hill in the park and got cozy with blankets to watch the fireworks! The show was amazing and the kids loved being outside together  eating snacks and watching the fireworks. 


Their faces were priceless. What a great experience for them and definitely a new tradition! 

Happy Victoria Day!

9 months old!



We can't get enough of this cutie! The whole family just adores you! You are so happy and soo sweet! 

At 9 months old you weigh 19lbs and in 12 month clothing. Size 4 diapers. You are my big boy! You still nurse a lot and also eat a lot! You mastered the pincer grasp a while ago and you eat everything in sight ha! 

You may have an allergy to milk, we aren't sure yet but you broke out in hives when I recently gave it to you. An allergy test is on its way.

You are crawling super fast and also eager to walk! You practice by walking around furniture and walking while pushing some toys!



You follow big brother all over and you already fight him for the toys, ha!

You want everything that big brother has or is doing. It's amazing watching you learn soo fast! 

You love the piano and always crawl to it and try to reach the keys.

You love being out and about. You've adapted soo well to our family that is always on the go! You love it too! I see you taking in all the new experiences and learning so quickly!

Happy 9 months little cutie! We love you Sooo much! Mommy is already planning your first year birthday!

Spring Days

We almost missed stroller fitness yesterday because baby M was a little under the weather. He has his 4top teeth coming through! 4! He's miserable!!! 
But I figured he could nap in the stroller and the fresh spring air could help.



10 moms come out for stroller fitness. The instructor is amazing. She really pushes us hard! I'm feeling it today! 
Then at the end of our workout we have a little playtime with the kids 

 Michael loved it! Not one peep from him as he enjoyed the outdoors! 

This week I decorated our front porch area. 

I bought new planters with Ferns and a cute wreath. We also bought some boxwood plants to add to the front walkway. 









Just missing some mulch to add around the plants which we will do today. 

I started spring cleaning last week! I have a lot of decluttering and organizing to do!

Have a great weekend friends! Will you do some spring cleaning this weekend too?

Stroller fitness

Now that the weather is nicer I decided to join a stroller fitness class in a nearby park. 


Last week was the first class. Boy was I in pain for a couple of days!

Cardio, strength training and Pilates combined. 


The workout is amazing! Last week was pretty tough. So I'm afraid for this weeks class ha! The park is beautiful though. A really nice trail and a lot of hills, right by a little river.

I currently have my trunk packed with strollers. Regular stroller and my jogging stroller. 


Now to get my diet right! I am not doing anything extreme. I'm making small changes in my diet. Like no white breads, snacking on healthy foods like fruits and veggies. But with summer and tons of events with delicious foods, I need to practice portion control more than anything. 

My first weightless goal, is to drop 20!
