For Great Grandma

This is the outfit you gave Norah for Christmas, she is wearing it today! Sorry the pics are a bit blurry...it's hard to get her to sit still.



Thank you!

Jamaica 2013: At the Beach!

So we spent most of our days at the beach. Just hanging out. The pictures speak for themselves.

Happy girls.
Just lounging.
Diaper changes in the sun.
Even Grandpa managed to relax!
There was lots of sand castle building with Aunt Pamela.
Oh, and swimming too!
Jacob loved swimming in the "big pool". 
Practicing his skills.
She had a lot of bathing suits...
Aunt Pamela!
What are they doing?

Norah took many naps by the water.

Jamaica 2013: Norah, Meet Ocean

Obviously, Norah had never been to the ocean before our trip. Actually, she'd never even really been in a pool (oops...poor third child)!

Testing out the waters...
She likes it!

Telling Aunt Pamela how much she loves it!

A Trip to the Sugar Bush



After a recommendation from a friend we loaded into the van with Heidi and drove to the Mountsberg Conservation Area to check out MapleTown! The weather was beginning to warm up so it was a perfect day for the sap to be flowing.

The boys and Heidi.
Crossing the railroad tracks to get to the bush!
We're here!
Learning about sap.
Checking out how full the bucket is.
The sap was definitely flowing!
Norah was there too!
They use plastic buckets (rather than the traditional ones) as it is easier to see how full the bucket is.
Boiling sap.
Waiting for the wagon ride.
The horses taking a break.
Yum! Pancakes!
Perfecting those self feeding skills.
Everyone enjoyed the pancakes.
Playing on the bales of straw.
They had fun but got VERY muddy!

Jamaica 2013: Kenton and Sarah's Wedding

The reason why we went to this particular resort, during this particular week was to see Kenton and Sarah be married. Kenton is the son of my dad's cousin.

Hanging out with Aunt Pamela waiting for the ceremony to start.
Dad trying to find some shade.
The groom and his men. 
Jacob has a thing about his hat blowing off his head...
Although to be fair, it was REALLY windy!
So grown up.
So cute.

We headed inside to the reception. The boys stayed with us for a bit but we had arranged for one of the resort staff to take them to dinner and then up to the room to put them to bed. It worked so well. Scott and I were able to stay up a bit later and didn't have to worry about them being bored at the reception!

Being silly with Aunt Pamela.
Trying to make a heart with her hands...
Success!
Pamela trying the steel drums.
The tables all set.
Silly boys.
Pretty girl.
They LOVE their Aunt!
Dad, saying grace.
First dance.
Cutting the cake.
