Our Amazing Uncle Jo as a Pro Bowler

The Book of Mormon

Ski Trip

This spring break we went on a fun ski trip. This was Jace's first time skiing and like many things he does he surprised us with how good he could ski. Half way down the hill with Jake he said, "This is easier than I thought it would be." He said that his favorite was going up on the big four man lift. Now that we have started him skiing I think we will have to keep it up and one day all ski as a family. After skiing we went back to the hotel and played in the pool, went down the fastest slide ever (in a hotel that is), and relaxed in the hot tub. Even though it was only 45 mins. away it was a good get away from our everyday routine. We can't wait to do it again!

HaPpY ValEnTinEs DaY!

We love saturday mornings!

Another NS Christmas

Another fun and exciting Nova Scotia Christmas. We had so much fun hanging out with friends and just being together as our little family. Here are some pictures of our Christmas 2009.

Our Christmas tree we cut down ourselves. It was so hard to choose the perfect one!

Our Christmas lighthouse that Kaydence wanted so bad to eat. This girl will eat anything!

Thanks for the pajamas Grandma S.

Christmas Eve pajamas. Family tradition still alive!

Jace was so excited that Santa ate his cookies and drank his egg nog. The key on the plate is what Santa uses to enter our home because we don't have a chimney.

Kaydence loved unwrapping presents this year. So much fun!

Jace also had a fun time this year. It is so much fun when they are so excited. Jace could not sleep the night before and he woke us up at 6:30 to go see what Santa bought, I mean brought.

Those who know Kaydence know that her favorite time is meal time and her nap time. This is her and Daddy taking a break from the hustle of Christmas and finishing up her bottle.

Jace needed his morning shave and thank goodness that our good friend Ryan Legere gave him a shaving kit for Christmas. He loved it and shaved three times in just 10 minutes. This must be a new record!

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and we want to wish you a
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Our Thanksgiving Surprise!!!

My little sister Leslie came to visit us for Thanksgiving!! Jake and my family have been planning this for months and what a surprise it was. What a perfect time to have a visiter being Thanksgiving time. We had a fun time showing Leslie around Halifax. She's been gone for a couple days and we miss her so much. Thanks Leslie for spending Thanksgiving with us. We are so thankful to have a sister/a sister-in-law/an aunt as fun and loving as you.

Jace will always remember sleeping in the tent with you in our living room and Jam'n out to Hannah Montana's Hoedown on the way to pick our Christmas tree. We can't wait to have you visit again. Love you Leslie
