we had a time.

a few weeks ago aydan and me attended the brownies mother/daughter sleepover and to quote angela chase "we had a time."

such a blast.
love these moments with my girl.

my boys and the rink.

last sunday afternoon was gorgeous and it was time to hit the rink.
aydan was at irish dance and i was grocery shopping.
they had the whole thing to themselves.
much needed father and son time.
awesome.

look at him - he's getting so big! 6 year old boy.
growing up so fast.
did i tell you he learned the proper way to use "the finger" last week? oh. my. goodness.
not my baby anymore....but he will always be my baby.

:)

happy valentines.

happy valentines to my wonderful husband and gorgeous brilliant kids.
love you so much and i mean every word. i can remember life before you guys and i can't imagine life without you.

snow.

on the last official day of holidays and the first day of this new year we decided to go in search of snow.
it's wasn't too hard.
on the 27th of december the snow started falling and then it fell and fell all day long till it stopped. it was then reported that we got the same amount of snow in that one day that we got ALL LAST WINTER! are you serious??!
so this week we have been indulging in it - although we failed to take the kids skiing for the first time! major bummer.
but yesterday the sun was shining, the temperature wasn't TOO cold and we ventured out to our neighbourhood park for fun in the sun and snow!
major success.
they all took turns learning new things till i stepped in to show them all how it's done. ha!
one of the best days so far. after we had come home and drank our mandatory hot chocolate, had baths to warm our toes and were all cozy by the fire, we were asked if we could go sledding again.
that. very. moment.
they had had that much fun.
now that warmed my heart.

happy new years everyone!
if yesterday was any indication i think this is going to be a wicked cool year.
i can feel it in my bones.
{my very cold bones! it's -17 today! yikes!!}

happy 2013!
