One less tooth!

Make that TWO!
He feels like he is the last of his buddies to loose a tooth, I think he is actually. 
I've been ok with that.  Stay little Beanie.

How does time fly so fast? 
The second one popped out far faster than anticipated so I didn't even have it together to document loosing his first.

STOP GROWING UP!!!!!

The Tooth Fairy was generous.  There is a story to that...

SIX!

We celebrated with a bouncy castle, friends, family, hot dogs and a lot of laughter.
HAPPY SIX celebration to our Wee Bean.  We love you so much little big man.

Grado UNO!

How can it be?!
I've sat on these images for 2 weeks now.
It took me that long to be comfortable saying that I have a first grader.
A Spanish school first grader.
Grado Uno.  WOW!

Isn't he handsome!

 

I think this is more accurate of what he thinks of me taking so many photos on day one.

 

Still FOUR.

Most days I forget he is just four.

He seems so much older to me.

If you need us… we'll be doing some of this…

Learning to ride...

We've made full transition to pedals now.
We bypassed training wheels and went straight from Strider to SPAWN.
A move I'd highly recommend to all parents.
Strider bikes develop balance.  No need for training wheels.
But there is a need for a bit more time from us adults.

GO BEAN GO!

Wow, where did that 4 1/2 years go?!

I'm a bit afraid this little Bug isn't too far behind…

Spawn...

It's brand new out of the box….

I'll be honest.
I might be just as (if not more) excited.
PEDALS!!!

Monday Funday.

I take my camera everywhere.

It doesn't bother me that I'm made fun of 90% of the time.

I have 75,000++ pictures to remind me of my blessings.

I don't want to miss a single moment of documenting my kiddos growth.

And I often harass them and take photos of them in our own home.

All.

The.

Time.

Today was Monday.

I needed to break it up with photos.

What is more cute than kiddos with only underoos and bright white sheets?

These were not easy to capture.

It is getting harder and harder.

There may have been a lot of "too close to the edge of the bed Anna" moments.

and

"watch where your feet are Andrew" reminders.

GULP.

Happy Monday.

Here is to a fun Tues, Wed, Thurs as well!

Weekend thanks!

Always thankful for weekends!
Not sure about all the snow though this early.  UGH.  Is it too soon to ask for a CHINOOK?!

Tita Brenda & Bean

She is such an important part of our household.
Andrew's friend and Nanny, Brenda.
We love her dearly and are grateful everyday for her role within our home.

She takes care of us all and helps keep our processes and craziness around here going.
Even on a moments notice, she never says no to helping us out.

We love you TITA B!
Thank you from all 3 of us for being a part of our every day.

Have a wonderful weekend whatever you get up to.
We are off to Fernie to check out our reno and MOVE IN!!!!

Wordless Wednesday...

April Blog Circle Challenge... SELFIES!

Once a  month I will be joining a group of Mothers and Photographers and post ~10 photos.... of the ordinary and not so ordinary moments of our days.

Once again I've linked up with these fab Moms for our monthly blog circle.

This month our goal was to attempt as many self portraits as we could manage.

I'm not at all a fan of photos of just myself, so I've recruited my favorite model for cute factor.

Please enjoy more SELFIE photos from some talented gals.  They are all such an inspiration.  Who knows, you may be inspired to try a few of your own self portraits, it was so much fun!
Mercedes and her family are adorable and she is incredibly talented.  I follow along with her photo feed daily.  You will want to check out her photos.  She is BOLD and awesome and one hell of a fun Mom by the looks of things.
Enjoy!

This week in photos...

HUGE Photo post alert...

I have few words tonight.  Challenged in all directions this weekend.

These photos remind me of all the patient, kind, pretty and worthy moments that need to kick the poop out of sickness, temper tantrums, anxiety, and fatigue.

Good night!

Happy weekend to ya'll.
