It's all Happening! · Jul 25, 09:19 AM by Holly Cruise
We have been trying to keep busy these past couple of weeks, so lots of trips and visits with friends. Here’s a recap:
A contemplative park bench…
Checking out the dirt.
Crazy face!
At the wading pool with Liam & Auntie Tara!
A morning with Aoi & Gen, finished off with an ice cream cone!
More berry picking, this time we brought Jasper & Jodi!
Even MORE ice cream.
Breakfast (“Breaskfast”) at the Wooden Shoe Café on Cambie with Auntie Laura… teaching him how to make the perfect cup of coffee.
Berry Picking & Baby Bennett · Jul 18, 09:14 PM by Holly Cruise
Dexter and I went to Emma Lea’s Berry Farm in Ladner last week. It was so much fun, we are planning on going back with Jasper & Jodi this week!
Pick the berry…
Inspect the berry…
Present the berry.
On to the blueberries.
The rewards of hard labour!
Our dear friends Jeff & Erica welcomed their new baby boy, Bennett Douglas Lydell this week. We went to visit them tonight, and Dexter was pretty interested in the little guy.
A little dip in their indoor pool! FUN!
Wrapped up like a Dexter Maki!
Summer Fun! · Jul 16, 08:37 AM by Holly Cruise
I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since I updated, but man I have been exhausted. Dexter and I have been playing it pretty low-key, here are some pics.
Passed out! Fell off the couch and onto the floor and didn’t wake up. Awesome.
We met Daddy for lunch at Guu (Robson) and had wonderful “Beggie Burger.”
Pre-Cold War slide at MacDonald Park… woo!
There’s nothing quite like a found shuttlecock.
At the beach with Sandra & Baby S! So cute!
Hamming…
It…
Up!
Coming soon: Play date with Jasper, Weekend at Grandma Vivian’s!
Canada Day on Granville Island · Jul 1, 01:04 PM by Holly Cruise
Since Alex had to work today (boo) I decided to run down to GI early this morning and get in on some of the festivities. It was great, and we got out just before it started getting really insane.
Getting his face painted and…
Having a hard time sitting still.
Going….
Going….
Gone!
Happy Canada Day Everyone!
Quick Update... · Jul 1, 07:40 AM by Holly Cruise
Too busy for pics these days… But I will try to take some more this week!
At the park with Mom…
Showing the boys how to operate the water table.
Happy Father's Day! · Jun 21, 12:12 PM by Holly Cruise
Dexter made this amazing collage for Alex for Father’s Day. (It’s the three of us at the beach, just in case you couldn’t decipher that.) We had a great pancake breakfast, and now we are off to Chilliwack for an afternoon with Grandpa Ken & Grandma Blanche. We miss our Poppa Spencer and Grandpa Nick who are far away on this Father’s Day, but we are thinking of you and can’t wait to visit again!
Doing Stuff... · Jun 21, 12:11 PM by Holly Cruise
At the park…
At the beach…
Throwing rocks.
We Love A Parade! · Jun 21, 12:07 PM by Holly Cruise
Alex and Dexter went to the Point Grey Fiesta yesterday while I was off shopping for the day. There was a parade and a carnival, and it sounds and looks like the guys had a great time!
On the Ferris Wheel, Dexter was fearless!
Dexter’s first roller coaster! Having a blast!
Riding on the ferris wheel, with Daddy sound effects!
I call this video “Bad Parents” because Dexter says “What’s that Idiot!?” when the car honks its horn, something he learned from yours truly. And of course, Alex laughs, because it’s funny.
Adventures in Lotus Land. · Jun 16, 08:24 AM by Holly Cruise
We have had pretty amazing weather for the past 3 or 4 weeks, so we have been doing a lot of outside stuff. Gotta get it while you can in Vancouver…
Train ride with Mom, aka Crazy Eyes.
Car Free Day on Main Street with Tara & Liam.
Cowboy Dex, Best $3.99 CAD I have ever spent!
Busy Bees! · Jun 7, 07:27 PM by Holly Cruise
At our art class at Arts Umbrella. This coming week is our last class and it was SO much fun! We will miss our great teachers, Kelly & Ella.
Dexter’s latest masterpiece, a Pollack inspired work.
Getting his haircut with Farrah… and a little blow dry!
A VERY hot day at the park.
Jasper, Jodi, Mark & Brody came for a visit and BBQ tonight! Lots of fun and fighting! Dexter hasn’t quite learned how to share…
Say Cheese!!!
