Slumber Party

A friend of mine had a contest for her photography business and I was lucky enough to be the winner.  She is really talented and I love her work.  She wanted to do a fun shoot for the kids with a theme and she came up with a slumber party kind of theme with all white so she could focus in on just the cute little faces they have.  I love them!!

I just think they are adorable!  I can't wait to hang them in my own home!!!

The Weekend of My Dreams

 This weekend was a great one!!!  We were busy but were able to fill it with a lot of memories and time with family.
Some of the hi-lights included:

Justin and Katelyn's mini ball tournament in Foremost.  A little walk down memory lane for sure!  We were able to see Katelyn make a basket but we had to leave after the second game and apparently that is when the basket making caught fire and Justin and Katelyn were basketball machines!  It was so fun to watch them play and to hear Noni cheering for them.  He is probably the best cheerer that ever lived.

I love this photo.  I just love it

We were able to see a double incomplete rainbow- this is only awesome because of that youtube video about the double complete rainbow.  If you don't know what I'm talking about you should check it out.

 Addy and Josh and the kids came down for a surprise visit!!  They stayed at the lodge and we were able to enjoy some swimming together.  Myers was in love with the waterslide.  Ruby was in love with the hot pool. And Eldon was his awesome self.

 My baby nerds.  I think they are awesome.

Three Cannonbombs

This Noni of mine can be just plain crazy, but most of the time he is crazy awesome.
He fills me with joy just spending time with him.
Noni has 3 favorite things right now.
1. The number 3.
He will search high and low to find the number three EVERYWHERE.
The other day we were at the mall and he was looking in all the usual places for three's- the interac machines, the credit card machines, the sale signs.  You know, the usual.
At one point he ran up to the poster at La Senza and started hugging it.  Needless to say I got a little worried that my 3 year old was hugging a picture of a half naked model...  I didn't know what to think, I couldn't believe what the world had done to my 3 year old and I automatically started making a mental list of everything I was sure we were doing wrong, and things that needed to change.  I was panicking and worried for my little guy.  Then Ruby (who understands Noni more than anyone I know) started laughing and says to me- 'haha, he is hugging that number 3 on the sign'  (she must have seen the panic in my eyes!)  It was just the number 3.  phew.
On a side note- the number 3 is also my favorite number, always has been.  But I do refrain myself from hugging it when I see it.

2. Cannonbombs.  What is a cannon bomb?  Well, no one is entirely sure.  We think it is somehow derived from Cannonball, the jump you make into a pool, but are not entirely sure.  If you ask Noni a question such as, 'What would you like to do today?' He will regularly answer 'Canonbomby' or 'What is your favorite food?' 'Canonbomb'.  I love that kid.

3. His Fedora and sunglasses.  That kid loves himself some fedora.  And I love him in it.  He is so dang adorable.  Who knew a 3 year old mobster could be so dang adorable?  If you spend much time with Myers you will undoubtedly see him in his fedora and iron man sunglasses that his Ohio friend Eli gave him.

And for your pure enjoyment here is a picture montage of Noni trying to put on goggles.

He did it!! I always knew he could!

magic irish boots

Ruby is convinced that she can Irish dance.  Somehow, one day, without any training, she just magically knew how to do it.  You should she her perform, it is incredible.  And, who knew, all she needed were her magic boots.  She makes me smile every day.  I don't know how I could live my life without her in it.  I just love her, and her irish dancing!

Best Friends

One of my greatest joys in life is seeing my babies get along.

Ruby and Noni really are the best of friends.

Ruby is so good to Noni and Noni is learning to be good to Ruby.

They are just sweet little siblings and I love to see it.
I mean, they have their moments but on the whole the really love being together.

One day Eldy will be big enough and all 3 of them will have to figure out how to fit on one chair- but I am sure they can do it!

It may be a challenge trying to fit this chubby old man baby on there, but I know they will find a way!  Love can conquer all! 

One In A Minion

I found the minion costume while I was going through some stuff recently.  I think Eldon pulls it off pretty well.

He is One in A Minion.  

Vay Cay

We were able to take a week off and head to montana.  It was a great vacation where we were able to enjoy family, play with cousins all we wanted, shop to our hearts content, eat at delicious restaurants, enjoy great weather, and leave the real world behind.  

I even found these great shoes-  At an unbelievable 24 dollar price!  I'm not sure if that is because people have tried them and hate them or if it is because they are super awesome and I am one lucky girl.  I guess time will only tell.  But I will say they are a lot harder to put on than I thought!

 I was reunited with my long lost friend- target.  I am excited for it to make its way to the Hat.  Yeah, it may not be as good, but anything is better than Zellers.  Am I right?  Or am I right?  But Target is awesome so how bad can it be?

 And we successfully inserted Noni into his own bubble.  He really needs some protection.  He is just a little bit insane.  In a good way.

We all had a great time and we can't wait to go back.  It makes me a little nostalgic for Ohio.  Even though you couldn't get any more opposite, they have the same stores and it makes me reminisce.  

Now back to real life and spring!!!  I hear springtime in Medicine Hat is going to be awesome for the Snells!!!
