I survived!

           I know, sounds like something crazy happened, but I'm just talking about the weekend. It was very eventful in my eyes, considering I have not done too much since Mason has arrived. It started on friday. Micheal and I decided to go to north vancouver to see Olivia's boy friends band play at the outdoor market. So we got my mom to take the older boys and we took Mason to North Van. It was fun, they had all these food trucks and live music set up at the shipyards. we ate some really yummy street tacos. I got the fish taco and Micheal got the jerk chicken. ever since then he has been dreaming about them and trying to find a close enough recipe to replicate the taco he had. haha we shall see if he is successful in that. So we left Van around 815pm stopped for some groceries and got home at a decent time. The whole while I thought I had my phone in the truck in the diaper bag. hahaha not sure why I thought that. We searched high and low and it was no where to be found. I learned a valuable lesson. Babies make me dumb!!! lol fine, probably just sleep deprived, but still where could it have gone. I have thought about it and I now think that I probably left it on the BACK bumper while loading the stroller into the trunk. haha why haven't I learned. this is the second valuable thing I have lost back there! geez! when will I stop putting stuff back there! there are pockets for a reason. oh dear. Anyways, on saturday micheal was up and out of the house at 830am. hahaha I  guess no sleeping in for us. but he accomplished a lot. he went to ikea to get some shelving to finally finish our basement and to rogers to get me a new phone and was home by 1030 :)  He must love me haha. So I went a whole 14hrs with out a phone. at first I was a little lost and panicky hahaha, but once bed time came around I was used it and felt free. weird I know, but that phone had everything on it. The good thing about an Iphone is I just plugged it into the computer and it restored everything the way it was! perfect, and it's a good thing I just synced it the day before, which is rare for me, just like checking the mail! hahaha So saturday Micheal dropped me off at amanda's house at 140 as I was going to a stagette. it was a fun night of islly games, dinner in english bay, a musical under the stars at stanley park and desert and lingerie. Oh yeah, and of course the party bus!!! hahaha. the bus was pretty interesting and and lets just say we were all praying that we would make it there in one piece. we came close to crashing into the car in front a few times. eeekk. I got home at 130am, the latest night ever and morning came way too fast at an earl 630 am haha gotta love these kids, they just missed me so much :p. It was a fun evening and I was glad that Micheal had a good time with the boys all day. I'm a very lucky lady, and I'm glad that the kids are always so good for him, and Mason only ate 2 times, which is awesome, so now he isn't afraid to watch them all alone again one day :) maybe sooner than he thinks. hahaha I wanna go to the JT and JZ concert july 31. ;) So thats all for now, the couch cleaner is coming soon. I'm so excited to finally get the stains off the couch, at least for a little while.
 xoxo (sorry no pics, the iphone 5 has a different cord, and the only one I have is up in my room with a sleeping baby :) )

July = so much change

WOW, so sorry. didn't realize it has been 4 months since I last posted. To be fair, I have been a little busy since then :) Hayden turned 2 at the end of march, so of course we had an awesome party, with awesome family and friends who love him dearly.

We did a sailing theme, which seemed fitting since we had just recently came back from a wonderful sailing adventure. Daddy made the fun sailboat cake in the picture. In april came my 30th birthday, which we decided to hold off on a party until after baby, because he was due to come any day. And he decided to come may 4th, 2 days late!!!!! My babies have never been late, so I knew he was gonna be different. He came fast and furious on May 4th, with labor starting at 1230am and he was born at 415am weighing a whopping 8.13 pounds!!! my biggest baby to date!!! A whole pound bigger. 

8.13 pounds of snuggley goodness. he has got the cutest little baby cheeks you have ever seen. and they just keep on growing, hahaha. so he continued to be a different baby then my other 2 by being very gassy from the start, forcing me to give up dairy all together. I started slowly, leaving just a teaspoon of cream for my morning coffee, even that would upset his tummy! so out with the cream, but black coffee is just not the same, and hard to get down. Good thing my dad reminded me a few weeks later that the international delight creamer didn't have dairy. How genius, of course its doesn't have dairy, how else could it last in your fridge forever without going bad. So needless to say, this momma was back on coffee in no time :) and this baby was starting to sleep better at night. Every body wins. June came which ment party time. I was getting nervous, cause I was still "fat" and didnt think I could find a costume that fit. Yes I said costume, Micheal planned a wonderful Great Gatsby themed party, complete with everyone having to wear costumes. In my head I was going to be thiner and rocking something great!! haha not sure why I thought that, must have been really sleep deprived or something. everyone knows that for 40 weeks you are gaining weight, so obviously its gonna take some time to shrink back down. And this time around lets just say I gain A lot more. hahaha number isn't important. needless to say, my mom found a perfect dress for me a swanky thrift store in white rock for me, that did the trick. just added some fringe to the bottom and added some jewellery and voila! a costume was made. 

Micheal and I were so impressed that every one dressed up. they all looked fabulous. I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate the start of my 30's. 

Cake by box of dreams custom cakes

no party is complete without and awesome candy bar :)

the venu was done up perfectly. Thanks to my sis Amanda for hosting :)

So once the party was over, it was time for summer to start. The weather started getting warmer which means many trips to the beach, friends pools, and camping in our trailer up at green lake. I was a little skeptical going with 3 little kids, but they are such good travellers, not sure what I was worried about. they all slept really good at night, and Mason slept all day too! must have been the altitude :) So I think that brings us up to date for now. I promise I will try and post more often, to prevent the long posts lol. I will leave you with some picture of some cuties :) have a great weekend. xoxo

If anyone knows Hudson, then you know that he is typically nervous of water and swimming was out of the question. He hates water in his eyes and face. but since the swimming season has started he has not been fearful at all. He has overcome his aversion to water  and is always the last one out of the water. It's a miracle :) 

back yard fun, these boys love their brother.

Mr. chubs 

such a content little baby
