OKay so I know its been forever....

Well its officially been over a month since my last post.. i dont know where time has gone..

this last month has flow by..

well what have we been up too these past weeks...

Well i went home for a visit like 3 weeks ago, i finally had some time from not watching Luke,doing pictures and Jeremy was busy

studying so i decided to head for home. It was really great to just chill with my family, especially with my mom. I even got to visit

Jer's family for a bit.. it was really nice to see everyone! It was also fun to hang with my sweet niece Saige.. she is such a great

helper with Elias and we had lots of fun having sleepover's and having some fun taking pictures.. she says she wants to be a

photographer when she grows up too... what a cutie!! here are a few pics from the trip...

as happy as can be, chilling in the grandma's red wagon

Do you think he could be any happier about a wagon ride???

a little photographer in the making... 

WE also have been really enjoying the outdoors lately.. been going to the parks and going on lots of walks..

a few weeks ago we went to the park and had a fun time playing and had a picnic lunch as well..with Krystyn and Greta and Karen and Ben.

me and little buddy

a typical face these days for pictures.. haha

Well this is just a slight update.. more to come

soon!!

waiting for that smile....

Well lately i have been trying everything to get a nice picture of Elias looking at the camera smiling.. without it being a big blur. He is always on the move and will only look up for a brief second.

Well here it is.. the smile i have been wanting and waiting for...


I literally had to but a ball in my mouth while taking this picture so he would smile and stay looking.. well my silliness worked
and Elias loved it!

i also bought him this new ball popper, that he really loves. Its his new fave toy. Air blows through out the machine and "pops" the balls up really high.. and then he puts then back in and has fun forever. He also trys to put all his cars and crayons and anything he can fit down the tubes as well, then he whines for me to get them out so he can start all over again.


After awhile though Elias got really annoyed with me trying to get him to sit still for some pictures.. that i captured this pic.. aww he really looks so sad.. sorry little buddy.

Man i love this kid!!

Also we are leaving for a little trip to Alberta on wednesday.. for once i am not too busy this week. I dont have to take care of Luke this week and it will be so nice to see my family as well. Plus the weather should be fabulous!

Also Jeremy looks forward to us being gone so he can get some hard core studying down. He has a lot of tests coming up and lately i havent been seeing a whole lot of him anyways.
Thanks for all your hard work honey!
WE love you and will miss you!

Spring.. dont go...

Well these pics were taken the a few weeks ago, but i'm just getting them up now. Anyways this is when i was thinking spring was here to stay and then yet again it snowed..

But it seems like its getting nice again.. so who know's knock on wood, every time i think that its gets cold again.

Well here are a few pics of elias enjoying the melting season.. i cant ever seem to get a pic of him looking at the camera anymore he is just not interested, the world is too exciting!!

elias and daddy, i think someone looks alike eh?


loving the leaves...

Oh no, someone spotted a big puddle!!

Having fun..in is very first puddle.. i really need to get him some rubber boots!

5 Awesome years!!!!

So it was our 5 Year Anniversary yesterday...can i just say how much i love Jeremy! We finally were able to go on a date night just me and him. I cant even remember the last time we did that! I mean we go out but its usually with other couples or we bring Elias along.

So we got a babysitter and went out on the town!!!! First to eat at St.Tropez my favorite little bistro in Saskatoon, its so cozy and quante and relaxing. .

Its dowtown on 2nd ave and i just love it!!!
I am actually mad that i never brought my camera, i wanted to but jeremy
said you wont need it, well i wished i would have, now i have no pics of our wonderuful night!

Anyways it was the best meal ever!!! and the dessert creme caramel to die for!! It was so nice to actually sit and have a nice conversation.. i felt like we were dating again.. we for sure need this more often.

Then after that we walked down to Galaxy movie theatre and watched 10'000 BC which i quite enjoyed. It was just so nice to go

to the movies..we LOVE the movies!! and to get away for a night just me and Jer...i really hope the next 5 years are going to be

as good as these last 5. Things will definetly be different.. we'll have more kids, a house, jeremy will be actaully working as a

dentist, no more students and we will most likely be settled. That seems Crazy!! It will be interesting to see where we are in

the next 5 years.. either way they'll be Great ...as long as i've got you babe i know life will be good!!!

Happy Anniversary!!!!!

I love you more!!!

Turning 26, not too bad!

Well it was my birthday on Monday, the 17th. It was just another typical day for me.

On saturday night we went out to Red Lobster, which was so divine and it was nice to eat out even with Elias,
who was pretty good at the restuarant.

Jeremy gave me an early birthday present that day, well from him and Elias. This is what he made for me at the school.. he took Elias and molded his hand ( used the same stuff they use to make molds for dentistry)...isnt it so cute and sits on Elias' dresser. I laugh at how chubby his hands are. I really love it, thanks honey, what a sweet idea!




Then on monday morning we went to Krystyn's for St. Patricks Day and she made me a birthday cupcake with a four leaf clover.. so cute!



And on tuesday I went to our RS Enrichment, which was really nice, good food, nice speakers and they also handed out notes to everyone from there husbands. It's funny because i was telling Jer for my birthday i just want a nice note or letter from him..and i didnt get one and was very disappointed as he knew i was.. but he had already written me one for the Enrichment which i wasnt aware of .. so when i read this i almost started crying at Enrichment..It was the BEST letter ever and I just LOVE it.. i will share just one little part that was so cute...

"Rachelle the whys that i love you cannot be written or told but only felt. I love coming home everyday and seeing Elias rush to

the door, not only because it is so cute to see him run around the corner but because just before his head pops out I get to

hear your cheerful voice say Who's at the door, or Daddy's home and you always sound so happy even though I know that

you've had a long day."

Anyways that is just part of the letter.. but i just thought it was so cute.. mostly because i never would have thought that was

something he even would think about.. Thanks for the letter it made my Birthday!

I am so blessed...

Boys will be boys...

WEll this is just another typical day

in the life of Elias.. full of balls, and trucks and books!

Just to name a few of his favorites.

Its so cute to watch him now just play by himself..

looking at books and playing with trucks,

while making VROOOMMM noises!




Check out those hands..he's going to be our little quaterback!




Grandma Hansen bought him his little bball track suit,

that adds to his bball net that he loves. He actually has

a really good shot and can throw the ball quite far and hard too.

Is it just me or is he looking so old.. especially when i look at

pictures of Elias i just can't beleive it.. Man time just flies.
