My Life in Photos: May 2009

Two weeks old...

Dozing in the swing...

And on her Mom's shoulder...

Bright eyed and curious...

Stretching in the sunshine...

Growing as fast as she can!

Levi sang her a song on the way back home Sunday afternoon when she was crying.

I don't know the tune, but it went something like this...

"Mara Lynn, O' Mara Lynn...I got your chin..."

He also enjoys saying to her..."Why you cryin' Mars Bar?"

This is what the weekend looked like...

Games of indoor hockey with mini sticks...

Hockey fights...

Playhouse cleaning...

Bike rides, chariot rides & skateboard rides...uhm, yes that is Aj on the bike with training wheels!

Whippin' skipping ropes...

Rowdy soccer games...

Giants on tricycles...

Antics w/ the purple ball...

Another giant on a tricycle...

Show & tell...

Soccer fights...

Wrestling matches...

Giants trying to squeeze into small cars - kinda like the clowns in the Shrine Circus...

Tired kids...

Sunday naps that were hard to wake up from...even once you were part way down the stairs...

Leap Frog/Pad activites wearing the headset & hollering at everyone to be quiet becuase you couldn't hear...

Help from Cousins...

It was a lively bunch!

3 Nephews + 2 Nieces = Lucky Me

Spencer, "Pensa-Lane", Spence (who recently informed his mother that his name is SPENCER - he is Spencer Sports who rarely sits still and may spout)...

Graeme (who has quietly answered to "Grae" & is known for his patience & determination, but not to be willingly outdone)...

Alyssa, "Lyssa-lou" (a girls girl, a proud & helpful big sister, not afraid to be the boss & very excited for kindergarten!)...

Levi, "We", "Wei"...HOCKEY (a hockey fan from the beginning, with an amazing memory, and lots of zip & bounce, but don't step on his feelings)...

Amara, 'Mara (often seen dozing, squeaking, and looking perfectly innocent & adorable, but she may occasionally squawk & flail if she's mad)...

Four in a chair, and 5 on the couch...

How ironic that Levi had to have this book in the picture...it about sums up these 4...

"Ready...get set....GO!"

But aren't they cute?!

And here are my favourite 5!
Amara wasn't sure she wanted to join them and Levi was still "chewing" a mouthful of farmer's sausage...but they are the current & fantastic five!
