Dinner conversation last night... Atalie: Can I have more cauliflower? Me: Yes, but first you need to eat this (pointing to the chicken on her plate). Atalie: But I don't like chicken. Me: Oh. Well who said it's chicken? It's - - - hen! Atalie: Hennnn???? Me: Ya, hen. Eat up! Atalie: But, did it died? I don't want it if it died. Me: Uuuuuhh.... just eat your hen honey (trying not to smile). Lol!! Okay so I got her to eat it once last night. That's a rare occasion since I made the mistake of telling her that the chicken we eat is the same chicken that goes "bok bok". I think I may have to let this one be from now on... perhaps she'll change her mind one day;) But perhaps not. This girl is making it difficult to find food! Not only is she lactose intolerant and gluten intolerant (yup, another Celiac in the family) but now she won't eat chicken. Good thing I haven't told her that the beef we eat used to go "moo moo" too! ;)

Isla 13 weeks old

Cute as a bug and growing like a wildflower!

Whitetail Lake

Mom and Dad D. joined us at Whitetail Lake for two nights of camping this last weekend. It wasn't actually our first choice in campgrounds, as we tried two others first and found them jam packed with people. Turns out this was probably the most peaceful and beautiful choice afterall... two hours of driving around in the pouring rain, one pit stop back home to eat some lunch (we were hungry after all that campsite searching!), and all just to pick the campground that was 30 minutes from our house!! Haha:) Corn on the cob! Well, half cooked corn on the cob. Aiden didn't care:) "Mommy! Help! The bugs are all around me, they're trapping me!! Aaaaah!!" Can you see the rubber boots beneath the surface of the water? He was wet up to his chest by the time he got out... good thing he was wearing all that rain gear! Oh Aiden.... lol!

Isla - 2 months old

I took these when Isla was two months old (2.5 weeks ago already). She's pretty stinkin' sweet!!! :) She loves when you help her stand up and is always leaning forward to try to sit up and look around - a social bug!

Bike ride to the beach!

About a week ago I said to Kevin, as we were biking through town to the lake, "You know, a person could get into shape pretty quick if they did this even a few times per week! You might have to drag my butt out here more often!". Well, he held me to it. We went again last night and needless to say it was tiring but well worth the excersize and family time spent OUT of the house! Here are some pics: The lake is always chilly when you first stick your foot in it but it never lasts long. Aiden didn't hesitate for even a second! But that's Aiden I guess... Even Isla was anxious to take part in all the fun! :) Our man in motion!! We didn't bring Attie's bathing suit (oops) so this is how she swam;) "....let's go alreadyyyyy!" Haha:)

baby face - almost eight weeks old!

Isla will be eight weeks on Friday. She just keeps getting cuter!!! How is it possible? We've asked that every time and still haven't come up with an answer. Anyway, she's doing great. She had a doc. apt. last week and weighed 11lbs 8oz. She's been smiling a lot this past week and has just started "talking"! She's been sleeping long stretches at night (6-8 hours) and has been a sweet, content little girl!!!
