Big Boy at 7 1/2 months

Look at how he is growing!!! He is crawling and exploring like crazy. Tonight Kevin put him on his ride/push toy and he stayed on! He is not quite ready to walk by himself but that will come before I know it...



Happy and drooling.




Checking out under the hood.




Still need help from Daddy but it is a fun activity that can do together.

Dog Walk

Last Sunday we had beautiful weather. We bundled up Dolan and packed up the dogs and headed for the dog park so Dolan could go for his first sled ride. Well... by the time we got Dolan to the park he was fast asleep :) I decided that Dolan should still have the experience (even though he was asleep) so I put him in the sled. As soon as he was in the sled he started to cry so needless to say it was a short sled ride! Instead he went into the Baby Trekker and enjoyed the walk sleeping while daddy carried him.

On the way home we stopped at Tim Horton's and went through the drive through. The dogs enjoyed the stop because they received a Tims bit from the cashier.

Happy Wuv Day!

I was pleasantly surprised to receive flowers on Wuv Day :)

Go Riders Go

The Riders won the Grey Cup on Sunday. Dolan showed his Rider Pride by wearing a green diaper and two green outfits. He also had a chance to try out the Jolly Jumper that Grandpa and Grandma Kun purchased for him. Dolan enjoyed the game with Uncle Ryan, Mommy, Daddy, and Grandpa and Grandma Kun.

Oh... I can't forget to mention Archie, Yogi and Scooter. The only reason I am adding this is because Archie made it into two of the photos!!

This Little Piggy

I went to pull out some pork chops for supper and this is what I found...




My husband can make me smile :)

Thanks Kevin for helping me wrap the meat...

Daddy and Me...

I just had to take this photo of Kevin and Dolan in front of the computer. What age do you think Dolan will be typing? As soon as he can sit up?

Daddy and Dolan

Daddy and Dolan love to spend quality time together. It is the best way for mommy to post pictures of Dolan :) I love the second picture of Daddy holding Dolan in the football hold. It looks like they are going to score a touch down!!

Magic Baby Hammock

Kevin completed the baby hammock for Dolan. The reason I call it the, "Magic Baby Hammock," is because Dolan sleeps so well in it. When he starts to stir the hammock bounces and moves and the movement lulls him back to sleep. A great bed for baby Dolan.

The Great Mouse Hunt

Today we were working in the garage because Kevin is making a baby hammock. I once doubted Kevin's hammock making abilities but he proved me wrong. I posted a picture of Kevin's hammock skills on my first or second blog posting. But anyways this post isn't about the hammock but about Archie and his hunting abilities. About a week ago Kevin noticed a mouse in the garage. It got into a bag of bird seed. Kevin actually caught the mouse but it tried to bite him and got loose. Since the "mouse" tried to bite Kevin, he thinks it is a shrew. Do mice try to bite people??? Back to the story... Today Archie caught the mouse in his mouth and killed it. We know there is another mouse in the garage because when Kevin caught the mouse the first time he saw a second one. What excitement!!! I went off to get my camera but of course I couldn't find it in time...

A Father's Love

I think this is my favorite picture from the photo shoot.

Mazda 5

I now interrupt the baby blog with a post about our new vehicle. You may have noticed that the baby is still included in this post :) On Friday we picked up our new Mazda 5. My car was in an accident in July and we finally settled everything with SGI. We were looking at station wagons and when we saw the Mazda 5 we were instantly won over. It has the features of a mini van (sliding doors, seats that fold down, and seating for 6) but drives like a car. Kanndece and Victor were visiting the other day and we all piled into the car. We had 5 people and two dogs comfortably in the vehicle.

Daddy's Little Boy

Dolan and Daddy enjoying some quiet time together.

Man's Best Friend

Kevin did not want to get a dog. But I am persistent and stubborn. From the moment I brought home Yogi he became Kevin's dog. So once Yogi was a year old we got Archie. Now when Kevin is playing with Archie, Yogi comes to watch with me. Two dogs, two people...

More Basil photos

The puppy loves to be outdoors. We have had some nice weather where he can enjoy the sun. He has such a beautiful temperament. He plays hard but he also relaxes as well. Here the photos show him after he enjoyed the wet backyard and watching Kevin work on the railing.

Handy Husband

I was quite surprised when Kevin mentioned that he was going to build a stand for the hammock. I didn't have the same vision that he had but he was quite excited about the job. He sketched his plan, headed out to Home Depot and a beautiful hammock stand was made a few hours later! It is so comfy and excellent to lounge around in...
