Summer time summer time fun

I don't want summer to be over!!!!!!!!

It's so nice heading to a park for some fun right after dinner. 

Running around looking for dinosaurs ha! Little k's new obsession. 

Taking some selfies while we are at it ha!

But little k got a few mosquito bites which he was not so happy about :/

Today my sister and I went down to our old neighborhood to workout! There will be a month gap of when our home closes and new home will be ready, so we will be staying at my moms. I'm actually pretty excited to go back to the  old neighborhood, it will always feel like home :)

Ha! We had so much fun chatting, laughing  and exercising. 

Hahaa!!! 

This week I think I did pretty good in my diet plan. I slipped up a couple times but over all ate healthy and watched my portions! Drank lots of water, less coffee ;) 

I'll do a weigh in Saturday morning!

We got windows and doors!

Weekly update on our new home.

Windows and doors! 

We had some options of doors to choose from. We upgraded our door to the single taller door with glass on the side. Looking up feng shui and the direction of our door It says sand colors is best. That's exactly what we got!

I have a note book ready with the lists, yes listsss of our move/storage/purchases and all house related things! 

Today we agreed on getting shutters for the inside as our current home has. I also started the hunt for a new washer and dryer. 

This is our third home! We are so excited! when we pass by the new home, little k already says that's his house. Well he says his broken house haha.  

Weekend recap:

Sunday we went to African lion. Safari!!!

Kris loved it! Who doesn't! We went often as kids and I have soo many great memories of the animal tour. 

When the animals came close to the car kris was afraid and told us to hurry up and drive ha! 

Love these pics! 

We also went over to my sisters place Saturday night. The kids are just soo cute!'

Yesterday i had the day off with kris and we had such a fun day me and him. Starting off with breakfast with a friend. 

Day 1 of my diet is on track!

Day 2... I'm planning for it to be a success haha 

Happy hump day! 

Canada Day weekend!

Well Canada Day fell on a Tuesdsy this year, But I took Monday off too so it was a extra long weekend for mee. 

Last weekend we had the first swim of the summer! It was sooo hot and humid this weekend! 

We did our annual BBQ at my aunt and uncles house. 

(Pics on the left from this weekend/right from the last 2 years)

Oh how I wish I had a pool! 

It was another soccer weekend. We went to my brother inlaws place Saturday for all day soccer fun, and today we hosted a all day soccer BBQ. 

Monday my sister and I took the day off for a day out shopping! With no kids ha! 

We were out early for breakfast then hit the malls!

So happy for a short week and tomorrow is already Friday! 

5 months to 3!

Mr 2 years old and 7 months HUH… 3 in just 5 months huh huh! Can time PLEASE SLOW DOWN!

 

When I look up different toddler personalities, little K does not fall into the Shy kid, or EASY child category. He is a good kid and a normal 2 year old that can switch to very sweet and calm to wild and screaming for his way or the high way hahah. I remember hearing moms say toddlers are kookoo people, going from happy, excited to screaming and crying in a matter of a second. Oh yes they are emotional that’s forsure haha.

 

Reading up on little K’s personality I would say that he is a combination and I also do not like to label any child any one way anyway! They are growing learning and developing so a constant change I believe is the best thing to see!

 

Little K is definitely, strong willed and sensitive. He loves to make his own choices and lets you know loud and clear if he does not like what you just did. Ha! His disapproving face is so funny to see. He is this little person with such a strong personality and sense of self. He knows what he wants and YOU will know what he doesn’t want. Ha!

 

We have many good days and of course with a toddler many challenging days, working through tantrums and bargaining and helping our little toddler through his emotions when he’s upset. Which can be really difficult for us parents especially when we too are tired! We are learning too! As I read up on handling tantrums I see, Patience patience!

Little K is loving the summer. He is one active boy! He loves the park and loves being outdoors. He loves car rides with us and loves pointing out and calling out everything he sees to make sure we seen it too. “Mama look! A motorcycle” and if we don’t answer it gets louder “ HELLOOO MAMA! LOOK MOTORCYCLE” Funny kid.

 

Things little K loves at 2.7 years old…

Airplanes and Helicopters are still at the top of the list of favorites! Airplane/Helicopter Toys, movies, videos, ipad apps! Loves them!

Cars, motorcycles and bikes.

Night time story time

Dancing to music

Playing with his cousins and friends

Telling stories of things he did and likes.

New favorite, DINOSOURS!

Favorite foods.. STILL Fruits and Veggies. New fav fruit, cherry tomatoes.

Favorite sport… Soccer!

Little man can count to 15 and say his full ABC’s! He loves to sing songs and loves when I sing him a song before bed.

He loves hugs and kisses and loves being the center of mommy and daddy’s lives :) 

 

Love My BOY!!!!!

 

 

Summer days

A friend and I met up yesterday for a playdate with the kids. We enjoyed a nice breakfast. The kids were well behaved until the end when little K had enough and was anxious to run around, he threw his plate of food to the ground. Blueberries and bread all scattered all over the floor ha! 

We then headed to a park so the kids can get filthy haha yes playing in sand. Sand was everywhere!!!! I'm soooo not a fan of sand playgrounds. Sand is for the beach! 

My friend put together this picture of us and the kids growing up. They will be 2 soon! 2!!!!

Later in the evening we had a BBQ dinner outside. Summer feels like its slipping away too quickly! 

Little K and Zoe are best friends. They are adorable playing together. Yesterday it was hide and seek I think ha!! 

Summer is ending soon and little K will be starting a new daycare very soon! More about this later! 

Happy Friday! 

My birthday weekend

Ahhh my birthday. Another year older. I'm not thrilled about it ha! 

The weekend started off with a friends wedding. I wore my new black dress with my new sparkly shoes but the shoes hurt my scrape on my ankle from last weeks fall so I ended up wearing my favorite heels at the end of the night. 

  

Then Saturday night we stayed in to have our own little family birthday dinner. We ordered Italian mmmm! 

Little K loved it.

I share my birthday with my mom. So on our birthday we got together for a bday breakfast. 

We had a great time! 

Hot week!

This week was super hot and humid! 

Finding things to do with a toddler without spending too much time outside at once was hard.

We went to a new playland with a friend. The kids loved it! Watching them climb up stairs and climb over things being brave was so cute to watch. 

I made homemade juice Popsicles which kept us cool too! 

We also went to the splashpad for some fun too. It was fun until a little boy about 6 years old came and starting kicking water in Kristian's face until he cried. ;( horrible. It broke my heart! Kris was so upset. I picked up Kris and tried to calm him down, but he was afraid to go back in. Boo! 

Next week will be cooler and not as hot and humid as this week whew! We love summer and want to enjoy the outdoors! 

While the husband was away...

Last week we received sad news that my husbands 94 year old grandfather passed away in Honduras. We had a nice family dinner last weekend to celebrate his life.  At the dinner my husband, 2 of his brothers and his dad decided to go back to Honduras to visit family during this tough time. So they booked a flight for Wednesday and he's been away for 5 days! 

5 days just me and baby k. 

The first day was good, I spent it with my sister shopping and playing. Then Thursday morning I woke up really dizzy. Dizzy and nauseous (not preggo) I couldn't even lift baby k out of the crib. I panicked a little, ok a lot. I never felt that before. I called my sister and mom and they rushed over. After speaking to telehealth they told me to get to the ER. So we did. My sister watched the kids (ha! She had her hands full, my cousin went over to help and my sister was able to put her little to nap and then put baby k to nap haha super mom!) 

After getting checked out, they said all seemed fine. But the nauseous feeling still lasted a couple days! I'll be seeing my family doctor tomorrow.

So glad for my family to help in a second when needed ;)

The rest of the days consisted of more shopping (sorry DH ha!) and lots of playing outdoors with Kristian. 

Yesterday was my brothers BBQ birthday party. It was nice, but with a toddler you can imagine I was pooped at the end of the night! 

Today is a beautiful day. Water fun and ice cream all day!
