Fun in the Snow!

In February it was really cold and we got a ton of snow. Now that the weather is warmer we have been able to get out and enjoy the winter wonderland. We have played in our backyard, had snowball fights, skated on our rink in the backyard, and gone toboganning a few times with the family.

Toboganning with Sherilyn, Jay and Mckenna.

Babysitting Mckenna.

We babysat Mckenna on Wed while Sherilyn and Jay went to the Hockey Game. The girls were so happy to play with her and couldn't get enough of her. Holton and Mckenna had fun playing together too. The night went by so smoothly until I decided (bad idea!) to move Mckenna from the swing to the bed while she was asleep. She woke up crying which woke up Holton. Cyril came to my rescue who got Holton calmed down so I could get a bottle for Mckenna. Once Mckenna was back to sleep I was able to feed Holton. I can feel for all those parents with twins!! Don't worry Sherilyn I will babysit again for you anytime!
Here are a few pictures of Holton and Mckenna saying goodnight to the girls.

Pictures of Jaidyn!

Happy Birthday to our little princess who is now five! She has had a busy year with preschool, gymnastics, and a dance combo class where she is learning ballet, tap and jazz, and of course all the other things a preschooler does to keep us busy. Jaidyn is a wonderful, loving girl with lots of energy and a great smile, who is big help to her mom and dad. She loves to play with her big sister and help take care of her baby brother. Jaidyn loves to talk and at times it is almost impossible to get her to stop but we love hearing all the stories about her little life. We love Jaidyn so much and enjoy all the funny little things she says and does to keep us all laughing. Here are a few pictures of her throughout the past year. Enjoy!

Jaidyn turns Five!

Jaidyn celebrated her fifth birthday on February 22. We had a family party at our house on the weekend before. All of the family was able to be there except for Jason and Charmaine, Tran, Don and Abbi and my dad. Rachelle, Matt and Tobias also came but Tyler was out of town so he couldn't be there. We also celebrated Aaren's 5th birthday because Jaidyn and him were born only 11 days apart. It was fun to see the excitement on both of their faces as we sang 'Happy Birthday'. I hope they enjoyed celebrating their birthdays together!

Happy Birthday also to Grandma Selman who shares the same birthday as Jaidyn! We love you Grandma!!

Jaidyn also had a party with her friends at the Kinder Room at the Southland Leisure Centre. There were 12 girls altogether, 2 babies (Holton and Mckenna) as well as about 10 adults. The kids all had so much fun running, climbing and playing together. It was a great party and Jaidyn was so happy to finally have a real birthday party. She is already starting to plan her next birthday not quite understanding how long a year is! Thanks to Sherilyn, Jay, Mom and my friend Lisa who came and helped out! It was great to have Lolo, Lola and Uncle Tran there too!

Yeah, Baby!

On Thursday night Cyril took me to a Flames game. My mom and Sherilyn watched the girls but since Holton wasn't feeling very well I didn't want to leave him too. He came with us to his very first Flames game at the Saddledome-and he is only eight months old! He was amazed with all the people to see, the loud cheering, the lights and sounds, Harvey the Hound and of course was ecstatic when the Flames came on the ice! (or was that Cyril?!) He even cheered when everyone else was quiet. The game was exciting with lots of goals but we lost 7-5. We even got to hang out with Uncle Jay because he was at the game too. I'm not sure who had the most fun, Cyril or Holton!

One Month Old

Holton was very lucky to be blessed by Uncle Justin when he was 1 month old. It was a wonderful blessing with most of our family in attendance. Holton is such a good baby and absolutely adored by his big sisters and of course his mom and dad.

More pictures at 1 month old!

Maren -6 months, Mckenna -2 1/2 months and Holton-1 month.

Holton's First 8 Months

Holton Marcelino was born June 16, 2006. He weighed 8 lbs 5 oz and was 19 inches long.



Since I missed his first 8 months on this blog I thought it would be good to post it now. Here is a review.

Me and my Daddy!

Jaidyn holding Holton - what a proud big sister!

Not very happy to be in his carseat for the first time.
