Gotta have a work truck


Well our little worker Weston has been talking about buying a work truck for a year now. He saves his money so when he is bigger he will buy himself a truck.
So until hes bigger he has decided that he will make his own so him and Nelson can go to work together,
I woke up the other morning and got ready for us to leave, as we all tromped down the stairs we came to a hault at the bottom.
pushed right up to the landing was 4 chairs. I immediatly said Weston whay are those there.
That is Nelson and I's work truck.
Wow pretty creative and pretty hardcore!



 After we moved the chairs far enough away that we could get off the steps he continued to tell me that the white box on the front seat was his breifcase with his paperwork and Nelson has a seat in the back because he is to small to ride in the front seat, and then the blue box was to hold their tools!!!!

So if that wasnt cool enough , over the weekend Papa and weston actually built a work truck!
 Weston working along side Papa!
Weston was playing it cool for this picture! its almost finished , but it needs to be painted and lights put on! cant wait to see the finished product!!!!!

Fresh BREAD and other things!

Iam on a mission lately to find a good tasting Gluten Free bread recipe. I had be experimenting in my bread maker until last week i tried to do just that and discovered someone had lost the paddle for it. GRRRRRRR not impressed. So I bit the bullet and decided to give oven baked bread a shot.
So I pulled out the mixer and got started!

 I was pretty pumped to see it rose and everything . so I threw into the oven to see how that went.
 Not to shabby for first time bread makiing. Was a little dark but nothing I cant perfect next time
It wasnt terrible but it was great either. For anyone that knows about gluten free bread will know what Iam talking about!
Next day Weston and I decided to get our Juice On!

 We made 2 jars of grapfruit juice and a jar of orange! Weston loves to help!
 Had to throw this picture in. It makes me laugh because we from the beginning pegged Lenon as the free spirit artistic type out of the 3 boys. Weston loves to work, Nelson does to , but less of a  adventurest than Weston but they both talk about going to work all the time etc. And while I took this picture the other two boys had their work hats and work clothes on and i see Lenon crying when I put this hat on. I laughed because it seemed so fitting that he doesnt like to even pretend to be a worker guy! hahahaha I am looking forward to seeing what paths each of the kids take in their lives.
 Oh this picture is awesome. Well awesome because its shows Weston playing a memory game with me! and if you notice what he is pointing at , its his pile that is larger than mine! hahaha this kids has a amazing memory. he actually beat me! and I wasnt letting him win! He really is that good! And Iam good at those types of games. He also rocks at puzzles and things like that. He seems to be taking after me in those areas! kinda cool!
 hahah Weston has of late been wearing his bathing cap in the bath. its too cute. Weston and Lenon had their first bath together last night. Weston was pretty excited. it went good until i looked away for a second and Weston stood up and knocked Lenon over and splooosh went Lenon!
 Most of the pictures are just Weston and Lenon. Thats because Weston just loves hanging out with him so I get descent pictures. Nelson doesnt stick around loing enough to get a picture with them.
 Oh this one is funny. It was this morning, i had to take a picture. The boys eating breakfast . One fully clothed and one fully nude! thats our Nozzy!.All his undies where in the dryer so we didnt bother toget dressed for most of the day. Didnt bother him one bit! lol
 Nudy boy sitting in a basket thing
 Lenon looking so big and sweet! notice his wild hair. We have a curly boy!
That brings us up to date on our blog! hopfully I can keep up and Blog more often! heres to hoping!

Family fun Fredericton trip

Feb 9th we decided to head to fredericton for the weekend to visit Marc and Mel.
We left a day earlier than we thought because Pat had a meeting lined up so we left after we got home from preschool.
We originally intented to stay until sunday but because of a snow storm predicted for saturday night we figured we would have to cut out trip short so the leaving thurs worked out good.
We hit the road around 1.
Whenw e got there we took the kids to chapters to burn off some energy!
We had supper with marc and relaxed, mel was working late!
Friday morning we packed into the car and hit the passport office.
It was perfect time to go , i got in to see a clerk within 5-7 min. and within a few min i knew i had to get his picture redone! thankfully there was a place within walking distance so thats what we did.
The new picture is the one on the left and the reject is the not so great shiney forheaded one on the right.

 So when i got back to the office it had picked up a bit but I was still in and out within 15 min. not to shabby. After getting the passport taken care of we went back to chapters because they had a blast the day before. Weston and I decided to surprise aunt Mel at her work and bring her a present to brighten her day. So we picked our gifts out at chapters and had them wrapped for free there ( super cool ) and off we went to go surprise her.
Marc met us and brought us up to her office. she was surprised and Weston was pumped to see where she worked.
Then we went back to the house and had a little quiet time. nelson napped while i watched shows on Mel's new Ipad. Weston and Pat and Lenon ( who was having a hard time falling alseep because he was over tired) went off to check out equipment. Then when Mel came home she took them to see someone she knows who has a similar business.
Marc bbq'd the best steak I think Ive ever eaten. it was amazing, so much so that Pat ate his whole steak . I was sort of annoyed because i was sure i would get to finish his for him but nope he ate it all. So that means it had to be good!
Then Pat , weston and M&M rushed off to go swimming at a place that had a huge water slide and other things. They didnt have much time but it was prob all Weston could handle.
We got Weston in bed and we all just chilled and chatted!
Up saturday morning had breakfast, and then hit the sledding hill. we had to cut out a few other activites that were planned because of the snow that was planned to start mid day.
 Pat brought their old GT racer sled. so the guys took Weston down for a few runs. Uncle Marc as strong as he is would drag Weston back up on his sled. I went down once with Weston but he wasnt getting no free ride. he helped me pull up the sled. that might of been why shortly after Weston was done! hahaha
it was short lived but fun. We then hit McD's for coffee and muffins aunt Mels treat, before hitting the road. We made it back to the cmap before the snow really started coming down.We decided to stay out in Salisbury because Pat would have to go plowing ealry in the morning. So we spent the afternoon at the camp where Lenon and the boys played, ate  and had fun

Pat and I slept at his parents house whil eth eBoys stayed up at the camp with Nanny and Papa for a sleep over. Weston was pretty pumped to help Papa clean the driveway in the tracker. it was funny every time the tracker would back up we could hear Weston honking the horn . After a while I clued into what he was doing , he was using the horn as a back up peeper ! what a guy
We had a great relaxing family filled weekend! doesnt get much better than that!

Scrub a Dub

Scrub a dub in the sink for Lenon
whenat my Grammy's house on wenesday nights ( supper)
the boys are all bathed and dressed in jammies when we head home. So while the boys are getting cleaned in the shower together lenon get a bath in the kitchen.

 Its much easier to bath him now that he sits up. he plays in the water.. this is the before picture
 And this is the squeacky clean after picture hahaha
 On a different note. the boys and I made cookies the other day. they did great. very helpful. very little fighting! ha

Pearly Whites

Weston and I had a adventure together a few weeks ago!
We went to the dentist for his first visit and my first visit with a new dentist.
Weston sat and watched while I went .
He thought the big chair was pretty cool!

 His turn in the new seat!
 Well a little unsure of the seat once it started moving!
 He was super brave and did great!
He was pretty pumped to get a tooth brush and a bob the builder sticker!

I love new adventures with the boys. Especially when they are one on one adventures!

Lacing up!

About a month ago on a saturday morning we took the boys to friends of the family's skating rinkat their home.
Nelson was pumped. He was so cute with his skates on.
I didnt think he would let us put the skates on but i was wrong.
But i was right that he wouldnt let us put him down on the ice HAHAHA
thats our Nelson , loves to talk about doing things but when it comes down to it you cant get him to try it. maybe next year!

 Daddy and his little skaters!
 Weston in his skater pose! hahah

randomness

Nelson and Nanny made his first snowman!
We named him "snowman George"


Well we needed a new dishwasher after our only 4 yr old dishwasher bit the dust ( very annoying the part was not being made anymore)
So dad came to switch the dishwashers for us.
Nelson stayed pretty close so he didnt miss a thing!

 So as the picture shows we had to smash out our tiles to get the dishwasher out. the guy that did our tiles apparently didnt think removing it and tiling under it would be a good idea. Thnx Buddy...... Its 1.5mnth later and still havent gotten around to replacing the tiles. so annyoing
 Weston set up his own "office" for his business in the dishwasher box. I found him in there playing and talking to himself. so cool
Nelson so proud of "ally" the alligator he made at pre school!

 Cutie eating lunch at the ymca after playing!
