Masterpieces

I LOVE seeing Caden's creations, whether it's something he made from playdough, something he painted (sometimes even on his tummy...), but especially something he's drawn. It is so fun to see the things he comes up with and I just love watching him grow and learn. He spends so much time drawing, trying to get things just right (he's like his daddy!). Here are some of my favourites:

Darth Vader and his many lightsabers

My artists... and another Star Wars character holding a lightsaber

Moustache man (plus a little moustache artist)

Someone fighting "the force". Note the detail of a belly button.. haha!

Finger-painted dragon (the one from Paper Bag Princess!)

Dancing man. This one makes me smile!

This is the Cinderella picture he drew for Maya. Note the dress :)

I'm sad I couldn't rotate this one. Rotate your head, because it's probably my very favourite of all. It's our family.

Note me.. I'm the one with the "really big mouth"... haha, thanks Caden!!

Aren't those priceless?!!

Happy Valentines Day, Everyone!

We just celebrated our FIVE year anniversary! In honor of Mom and Dad's fifth anniversary, we headed out with the kids to Dairy Queen for blizzards (although we didn't just get one!)

Then the next day, Mom and Dad watched the kids (thank you SO much!!) so that Ben and I could take off to Banff overnight. We'd never left the kids overnight anywhere before- but they did great! And we had such a fun time. It was so much fun to just hang out together and explore Banff sans kids.

This was the view from our hotel room. Banff is so beautiful!

I love my man!

Speaking of love, my kids never cease to make me smile with their cute little words and actions. The other day, Caden found a box of his old clothing. He immediately ran to Maya and gave her all of his clothes, because they are too small for him now. He said to me, "Why do I just LOVE Maya SO much?" (awww!)

Caden insisted that Maya wear his old "Lightning McQueen" shirt, and because it made him so happy to see her wear something that he used to love so much, I allowed it. Maya was pretty excited about it, too. She carried one of Caden's red cars around all day with it.

I hope that everyone has a

wonderful Valentine's Day!

We'll be celebrating all day with crafts and cookies.
