Devin's first steps!!!

Ok, don't get too excited, Devin is not running around the house yet, but our family was watching some home videos today of Addie when she was exactly Devin's age and she was taking steps between Justin and I. So tonight before we put the kids to bed we tried it out with Devin and he did amazing. His balance is getting pretty good and we have noticed around the house he will let go of things and stand on his own for a couple good long seconds. So tonight he went back and forth between us for about a half hour. Many attempts were just 1 step or him tipping, but he did 3, 4, and even 5 steps a couple times. We can't remember ever seeing Devin get so excited. Every time he fell he was ready to go again and was having so much fun laughing and loving the attention. So the fun is on!! We loved practicing this with Addie and love it just as much with Dev.

Valentines Love

For Chirstmas Justins's mom gave me a cupcake book. There are some amazing ideas in there from puppies, to slumber parties, to penguins. One of the ideas was to do a little valentines platter and so as a family we decided to bring some around to our friends and Addie's nursery teachers. We had so much fun decorating them...and sampling the candy. Yum yum.

Addie got to wear her valentines dress, which she looked so pretty in.


Devin has been so cuddly lately. We took the kids to the Trilesure Centre in Spruce grove on Family Day. It has a fun kids pool and a big waterslide. Addison had so much fun!! She did the waterslid all by herself. We went up and down so many times!! And Devin cuddled just like this on Justin's shoulder the whole time. And last night he was giving Craig some love for like a half hour. Craig was in heaven!! Cute boys!

Leanna and Kevin Herington

On January 30th Leanna, Justin's oldest sister, was married to Kevin. It was a very nice ceremony and reception. As you can see Leanna looked gorgeous and the reception was a lot of fun. Addison was so excited to finally be wearing her special black and white dress for the wedding. It was great seeing everyone, but as always it went too fast!

Congratulations Leanna and Kevin. We love you.

Stair Bolter

I think it is so funny how babies love to do whatever they know they shouldn't. Devin is a classic case of this. He loves anything breakable and electronic, and really loves disappearing up the stairs when nobody is looking. Good thing he is so cute, because I sure love him to pieces.

So a couple weekends ago addie accidentally had a nap in the car, and so she wasn't tired at bedtime. Justin and I decided to have a date night with her. Addie and I made candy popcorn, which she loved turning the handle on the popcorn popper!! And Justin rented a movie. We watched High School Musical with her. Her little friend loves it so we wanted to try it out on Addie. She loved it too!! It was so cute to see ow she followed the plot and loved the dancing and singing. Next time you see her, ask her what her HighSchool Musical dance move is. It is so funny. She kind of jumps and does a star with her body! I love it.
She is also really into making crafts. The first one is Craig and the one below is Justin. She designed them. Anything she can glue she loves. We all have pretty big collections of cafts from her and we love them.
