i love this pic, ..its so fun because its shows elias and ben playing.. elias kept playing peekabo with ben and they were both lovin it!!

Finally some of our B.C trip..

Well it was so fun to be able to go and visit my sister Renae and be there to support her while she graduated from the Police Academy in Abbotsford.. 

The first few days prior to her Grad we went into Vancouver, which despite all the insane traffic and the LONG drive, turned out to be a good time. We visited Queen Elizabeth Park, and Granville island, some of the not as popular spots in Vancouver.. but oh well.. we had planned to be coming back on Saturday to do all the best stuff, but then with all the traveling and everything we were all too tired.. so here is just a few pics of our day in Vancouver..

just watching the water squirt up with Nana and Papa

love this pic of elias & my dad, the two shiny tops, hahah

down by the harbour, where we had lunch, elias found a little boat to play 

in as well...

Then it was Renae's Graduation,  I was so very proud of her.. they really went all out with all the Marching and the Big pipe band.. Elias got a little scared because it was so loud.. but man he was such a good boy sitting in his stroller for 1.5hr, what a good boy! Renae also receieved the Physical Fitness award for her whole class... i was so impressed! We then took some quick pics and headed out for dinner.. 

I really like this pic of them...

he would have jumped right in, i love how his shorts are more like pants,

because i have to buy them so big.. haha

My dad and my cousin Julia, just chilling... 

My mom and Elias, love all the blossums..

Our last day, we just kinda hung out in Abbostford , this was supposed to be when we were going to do all the fun things in Vancouver, but it didnt happen so we just went and look at the awesomest houses there.. holy smokes HUGE! and went a nice park and then out for a BBQ at Renae's place.. it turned out to been a nice time, and Elias loved seeing his Auntie Nae! 

He absolutely could not get enough of Renae's dogs.. he annoyed them constantly, but

they seem to like the attention..

Mother's Day... belated post

So i have been meaning to post something about my special mothers day..but as usual never get on here soon enough.. but after reading Laura's blog on mother's.. thanks laura, i remembered to write.

Anyways so here are the really beautiful flowers Jeremy gave me.. they probably look weird and are not your average bouquet, but he picked them for me. He asked what kind i wanted and i said something different and well, that is what they are. Jer said they reminded him of our trip to Hawaii and then i loved them even more.. they even smelled like Hawaii. 

Its been a while since i have recieved flowers, and that is why i love special days, because honestly those Holidays makes him remember and so i dont care how much flowers are or dinner is, when he plans it and makes an effort.. I am just so thankful, even if i have to remind him..Thank you baby for the best Mothers day ever, and for the dinner as well at my Fave place St.tropez.. thanks for taking the time to plan a special day for me..

I also just wanted to say as well how much i love being a mom, honestly i love it, i really feel so blessed to be a mom and to be able to spend all my time with Elias. Also i am sooooo thankful for my MOM, she is seriously one of my best friends, i love spending my time with her, shopping, talking and so on, and she is so awesome with Elias. I am also thankful for my Mother in Law, she is so wonderful and such a great example to me,  she always greets me with open arms and i always feel so welcome. We miss her very much, especially since her and Gary are serving a mission.. 

Anyways hope everyone had a good mothers day and i Hope you all know how Great Mothers you are and how special that job is!!!

Nae & Elias

just wanted to add a quick pic of my sister Renae and elias hanging out by the police car.. Elias loved the lights and i just love this picture of them.. 

i was so proud of renae for graduating from the police academy and have more pics

to come on our b.c trip soon...

1st time for everything....

So last week we went to alberta for Kwynne's wedding...

WEll its true.. there is a first time for everything and it sure was.. MY 1st Wedding.. 

Wow.. it was so fun and such a great day at the Cardston Temple.. I was quite nervous.. but

honestly once i pulled out my camera and started shooting.. i was in my element. It was so 

awesome to be a part of Kwynne and Dane's special day.. there is something really neat about 

capturing those moments on a wedding day.  I took SOOOO many pictures.. and I now know 

why photographers charge so much for weddings.. it was a long day at the temple and then the

reception and  Now even more work... Oh well, what can i say.. I LOVE it!!!

Here is a funny pic jeremy took of me.. i guess you do whatever to get the shot right?? i had a wedding pic like this and really loved it so thought we'd try it out...

anyways, well now me and Elias are off to Vancouver tomorrow, our flight leaves at 6:20.. so bright and early.. My sister, Renae is graduating from the Police Academy and so i am going out there with my mom and dad and Rowan.. i am pretty excited, Renae hasn't seen Elias since he was 3 weeks old.. so it should be a fun time.. lets hope the flight goes okay with Elias.. lots of snack and baby einstein should hold him over.. well see ya later.. and of course of have lots of pics from your trip.. haha
