15 weeks. :)

I know you're all thinking this post is about Sean. But it's not. . (maybe i'll throw in some pictures later)
This one is about me. :)

15 weeks ago I was sent into the hospital to be induced with my little boy.
14 weeks ago I was taken back into the hospital because of Extremely high blood pressure.
9 weeks ago was my 6 week check up where they started taking me off meds. :)
And today I'm proud to say I am off the medication completely!

It's a good day!

Family, Birthday, Reunion, Camping, We have it all!

This last trip down south was pretty fun and I'll share it with you through the pictures I took. 

Had a bonfire at Gerald and Cindy's 

Bryan shared veggies from the garden with everyone.

 Daniel's Birthday!

Black forest cake. His favorite!

Camping/Reunion!

The reunion this year was at Swan lake. About 30 mins from Echo Lake. It was a blast. Lots of laughs, games, butterflies and bees. We played the parker version of Amazing race. The most I can say about that is that I'm glad there was no dill pickle popsicles but they did come up with something worse!
We played in the lake on sea dos and tubeing. Lost some keys but no worries they were found! Sean got stung but we lived through that as well. I don't think he's too traumatized by it. It was loads of fun!

these guys were everywhere!

And now it's back to work and real life things. We're back in Lloydminster now and you can definitely feel Autumn in the air. Oh summer how I love you! Come again soon!

That's Right. . . he's only 3 months old!

Oh how summer is just flying by. We have done so much. I'll get to that post soon. Most important right now is my little boy is 3 months old! I feel like he should be so much older. Maybe that's because of all the comments I get on his size and how everyone thinks he's 6 months or older. But no it was only 3 months ago that he came into this world and Daniel and I couldn't love him more! :)

He is so precious! Still sleeps like a champ.. (I hope. Our camping adventure kinda put a damper on it) But he still does 8 hours at least. So I really can't complain. I just miss the 12 hours. .
He's 17 llbs last I checked (or very close to it)
He rolled over for the first time! Tummy to back! He did it twice in a row and hasn't done it since. Little stinker.
Loves his hands and putting them in his mouth. Or doing a fist pump when its bed time. haha
Loves to sit up and look around. Even stand. Time to get a jolly jumper or exersaucer or something.
Kicks himself around in a circle when he's on his back and even has gotten some motion when doing tummy time.
He giggles!!! and smiles! Oh how he just lights up when he smiles! It is so adorable!
He got his first bee sting while we were camping. So sad. But we survived!

I could go on and on about this little boy! I love watching him grow and love watching him play with his Dad! Those two boys of mine are SOOOO adorable! I love them!

3 months!

All babies need a bath in a sink. Look at those rolls!

Reno's & Painting

This blog has turned into just one massive story about our home and of course our "little" boy Sean. 

But hey that is just what life happens to be right now! I'm sure you are all just dying to know what part of the house we have demolished and than restored. Just hold on. . . . . 

 The Laundry/Bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!

We were sick of the laminate flooring that was falling apart, about people feeling like they were going to fall through the floor when they used the upstairs toilet and I hated the color.

So We brought Dani back up with us after our last trip down south. I got her to come to help me with painting the upstairs. . . well she ended up learning a little bit about tiling too. It was good for her! :) Here's what it looks like now:

Doesn't that tile look AMAZING????? We think so. There are still some touch up's I need to do with the paint and the sink still needs to get put it but other than that it is done! :)

WOOT WOOT! I'm starting to really love my house now!

So along with all this reno's that we did I painted upstairs! 

with the help of Dan and Dani of course!

It was quite the week of adventures! We got it all accomplished which feels great and is in perfect timing with the last of our summer holidays!

Here's pictures from the rest of the week:

Quite captivated by the TV

He's so BIG!

Swimming!

He loved it!

Was so tired after he thought Aunty's chin would give him some food.

The new duck face!

Magrath Days!

Oh how I love my town celebrations!

I convinced Daniel that we needed to go down for them this year. Just for the Lawn Mower races. (we'll get to those!) So I won and we went down!

We got to my parents house Thursday at 5:30. Right in time for dinner. Yum Yum.
And of course right away we had to start playing games! Night one of little sleep!

Friday we ate breakfast and tinkered around the house until we decided it was time to got sea doing. :) what a beautiful day for it!

modelling swim suit #1

#2 a little small for him

doing some swimming of his own. Didn't mind the warm pool too much

Friday night we proceeded to play more games. Oh so fun. and another night of no sleep. (thank heavens for a baby that sleeps!)

Saturday we got up and went to the pancake breakfast. yum yum. Then I took a snooze on the couch until 10:45 when we walked 2 blocks up and watched the parade. Sean again slept through most of it but he woke up in time for the fire trucks and such. haha.
The BBQ at my parents after was a huge success as always! lots of family and new babies and friends to visit with. And of course excellent food!

Now the Lawn mower races! They were EXCELLENT! How red neck are those? haha people who spend months working on lawn mowers to make them worthy of racing. haha love it! So much fun to watch and cheer on! (i'll try to upload the video)

Then we hung around a found some friends to catch up with and some yummy shaved ice to eat with some mini doughnuts! Delicious! We waited around for the free beef on a bun dinner and then the town talent show that happens after. Beef on a bun was good. The Talent show they changed to a hee haw program and they were 45 mins late starting. I was tired and so was Sean so we bailed and went back to my parents house. And soon after most people were back and we played more games but made sure to end earlier. (the hee haw program wasn't all that hee hawing ness)

Went to church Sunday half asleep. haha oh all the late nights. My parents fridge decided to die on them so we gorged ourselves on food. we had 3 dinners and snacks in between. :) (that might have just been me too....) Played some more games and watch the rain storm and the awesome double rainbow!

It was a lovely weekend and Sean had a blast being cuddled and loved on by everyone! And now more pictures!

This Maddie girl loves her Uncle Daniel

The whole Fam at dinner! 

Can you guess who the 9 month old baby is?

Beautiful double Rainbow!

It was a fun weekend! Only a few more weeks and we're all together for the Family Reunion! It's going to be a blast! :)

Just bragging about my boy! :)

Walked into superstore to get some nose drops for my baby boy and the pharmacist comments on what an extremely handsome boy he is. Then she asks me his age. I don't think 2 months is what she was thinking I'd say due to her eyes bugging out of her head. haha. She was thinking I'd say 6. SURPRISE!

oh. . . And I got his actual weight and length and all that.
He is 15lbs 11oz (just about time to pack up the 0-3 outfits. how sad is that? he's not even 3 months!)
23 1/8 inches. (they were way off at birth. which makes me kind of disappointed not knowing his actual length at birth. We're guessing 21 or 21.5.)

He got his immunizations on the 16th. He's been such a trooper. just a snotty nose, slimy eye, and wanting to be held and cuddle a lot more than usual. I don't mind at all! He's still pretty happy! yay for that!

Wish us luck! We are planning on going camping this weekend! :)
