January fun!

One of the few nice, warm days we had in January, we packed the kids up and headed off to our friends' house (Robin and Elroy Martens) to do a bit of snowmobiling. They had borrowed their neighbours' little kitty cat sled for the kids to ride. What a great afternoon we had. Both Carter and Jaxon loved being outside and no one complained of being too cold. At times, we actually heard rumblings of being too warm.

Loving every minute! He was so pumped to be out there.

I should have known that once Jaxon had one ride on the sled, he would want more. Every time we go outside and he catches a glimpse of the machine, he wants to sit on it. So much like his older brother.

Christmas with Nana and Papa!

On December 29th we got together with Nana, Papa, Uncle Jaret, Auntie Julie and cousin Nicolas. Again, there was plenty of food, fun and lots of gifts to be opened. It was really neat to watch the boys play together. Things sure have changed since last Christmas. Both Nicolas and Jaxon are on the move and Carter loves being able to interact with them.

Another of Carter's favourite gifts this year were all of the costumes he got. He started the day off as Batman...

But it wasn't long before he became super ninja fighter. This is what he wore all evening.


Oh yeah, he hasn't forgotten about his new video 'learning leapfrog' game. He got a new game from Nana and Papa and had to try it out.

Big hugs for Nicolas. 'Thanks for the present.'

Eventhough this was not Jaxon's gift, he quickly claimed it and if anyone came near it, a high-pitched shreak was heard throughout the house!

Taking a break and checking out the toybox.

Can't forget about the wrestling match. Always have to get at least one in.

Nic decides that wrestling looks like fun. So he joins in. I can't wait to see these guys (and Shelley and Kimmo's two boys) together in a few years. Look out!

That's one tired little boy. Still able to get some Auntie time in. A busy Christmas.

Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa!

On December 26 we got together with Grandma and Grandpa Hildebrand, Uncle Eric and Auntie Marlo. It was a great day of eating, opening gifts, playing, visiting and relaxing. We were all spoiled once again and the boys had a blast with all of the attention from everyone.

Carter's favourite gift that day was his new bike. He was so excited because this bike had a hand brake, and reflectors (which are a HUGE deal to him).


We gave Grandma and Grandpa a photo book (my version of scrapbooking!!) of the boys from this past year.

These guys spent quite a bit of time trying to put together Carter's new playmobil pirate ship. it sure kept Carter busy for a while.

One of Carter and Jaxon's favourite things to do together is wrestle. They love rolling around on the floor and seem to do it quite often. It is very cute to watch until things start to get too rough.
