Spray Park :)

 Today was a special day because Auntie Caitlin had the day off!  So...after my photo shoot this morning, we all went to the spray park!  We went to the BIG one we were at last time - and there were so many people, you could barely breathe.  So, we went to the little one and it was GREAT!  There were few people there and lots of littler kids (unlike the other, which was dominated by the bigger ones)!  It was so great!  Perfect way to spend a hot afternoon!  Moose loves the water.  Loved laying on the blanket...eating...playing...teasing...and checking out girls!


The view up from our blanket :)


 First try at a snow cone!


It was a great afternoon.  Moose had a great nap after.  We were all able to get a little sun (finally) - and my blog post was less boring than ones of the past!
Jackson is changing more and more in his ability to understand and talk to us!  It is so cute watching him put things together.  This morning I had his teething necklace and he was across the room and I said 'can you come here so I can put this on?!"  and he said "okay" and walked right over!

This morning I asked him to go get a ball from Boss and he came back with his big beach ball and said "ball".

He was saying "hi" and waving to people at the spray park.

After his nap, we were in the bonus room and he was smelly.  We said, we have to go change your bum, and he looked at us and said "bum".

A song came on the radio and he covered his ears!  Sooo funny...when we asked him if he didn't like it, he smiled at us!

Loves to play 'cat and mouse'...will look at us and try to engage us into chasing him!  When we say "I'm gonna get you" he starts 'running' and laughing!

When asked to give his puppy cuddles, he will go pet her and often hugs her now...it is soooo cute!  Sometimes this turns into him trying to climb on top of her, but she is not a horse-dog and flees the scene pretty quickly.

So much fun - I'm so proud of him :)

4 - 0 Eskies!

Today was one of those nice, calm days for the most part.  I woke up with a headache but decided to try and rest it away while Jackson napped this morning.  For the most part, it worked :).  Then our friend Mel came over and we went to the St. Albert Farmer's Market.  Bought some banana bread for my parents.  Dropped it off at their house.  Played in the back yard.  Moose napped on the way home.  Then we played and watched the football game and Edmonton won!  Kinda one of those perfect Saturdays that involves naps, friends, family, and play time!


Jackson is a little adventurous for my liking sometimes.  I often turn around to find him doing things that I just consider to risky for my little 14 month old child.  However, all the redirection, reprimanding, distracting doesn't seem to deter him from finding new ways to get his thrills!  Tonight's example...his stunt quad riding :)


 It started innocent enough!

He even checked the wheels to make sure everything was in good working order!
 Then I find him doing this...

And then the joys of cutting molars...

Boogers and Drool
This boy LOVES his tunnels. 
 Moose was sleeping by 8 and I had a nice bowl of frozen yogurt and an awesome evening of some nice alone time!  TV - check; lap top - check; Kia - check; peace and quiet - double check!

Rain Rain Go Away

Today was a rainy, gloomy day.  We spent it playing inside despite many efforts to get onto the deck!

He LOVES his beach ball that he got from Ella's birthday party in his goodie bag!  His new thing is kicking balls around!  I love watching him do this!  Last night he found a tupperware from the cabinet and put the flat part down and kicked it around the main floor - he loved it because it didn't roll too fast away from him!  Smart cookie!
Trying to get his puppy to play with him!


This picture cracks me up!
