Mommy’s Little Men – Week 8 – Feb 15 – 21

Starting off the week with the adorable Jordie enjoying some park time

hahahahaha...this is his face he gives you when you say something he doesn't like. I think this was when Nana was telling him to stay off Diesel's dog bed

Happy to have Marshall back from James

He is very happily screeching at me in this photo as he went running by me with his bat and ball in Nana and Papa's backyard

Now moving on to James. I know this one was in the Anthony Island post from last week but I just love this photo of him so much that I had to include it in this week's post too! I know I had it in last week's post too, but I took it out because I realized it was taken on Feb 15, not 14 so belonged in this weeks' post instead.

Handsome James after his hair cut

Another cute one

This kid just makes me smile so much of the time...even when he's driving me nuts! 

And now for some together photos, mainly taken by Daddy on their daily park adventures.

Snuggles with Nana playing games on the iPad

Seriously...short sleeve shirt in February...at the park right beside the ocean....love where we live!!

Preschool Show & Tell – Year 2 – Week 22

So now we're on to the second of seven of the Paw Patrol characters going to Busy Bee's for Show & Tell day. This week it was Marshall the cute little firetruck puppy. I really love these little guys and they are my favorite toys they got for Christmas.

Not the best picture of him but still cute

James looks great, Jordie looks scared but he was just cranky because he wasn't allowed to hold Marshall right then.

See...much happier once James was gone and he had Marshall back in his grubby little hands!

Barrows Family 2014 Calendar of Memories

Since 2011 I've made a yearly calendar of our family memories. Each year I've made it through Shutterfly and this year I did the same, except instead of uploading the pictures directly to that site I made a collage on picmonkey.com and upload that to the calendar instead. I can't wait to get it ordered and get it back so I can start writing the fun things we've done onto it. Maybe now that this one is done I can finish writing on the 2013 one. When that's done I'll post the pages so you can see how I do it. These are the memories that I hope my boys appreciate one day when they are all grown up. I love being able to show them the fun things we've done as a family.

Valentine's Day 2015

 I had to work on Valentine's Day from 8:30-2:30 but then as soon as I got home and Jordie woke up from his nap we were on our to the new elementary school around the corner to play some hockey. Well, let's be honest, the boys played hockey and I took some adorable photos of them.

He is such a cute little man these days, especially with his new glasses and his

not-awkward-anymore smile

And we're off!

Jordie/Mommy selfie

 

This kid could play hockey for hours, either here at the school or at Nana & Papa's

So cute!

This is his "WTF" look...I get this look at least a few times a day!

He's actually pretty good for only 21 months old

Yup, he totally licked that puck....YUCK!

Awesome brown-eyed boy

This is one of those randomly great photos that you don't expect

A favorite photo of James too! I know there aren't as many of him as there are of Jordie in this post but that's because he was far too busy playing to look at the Mamarazzi that was stalking him!

Awesome high fives for Daddy

These next 4 photos are probably my favorites of the whole post!

Very hard to get him to stop moving long enough for a photo

Me and my handsome hubby

Seriously look at this weather....it's February and James is wearing shorts! We couldn't be luckier to live here in beautiful Powell River!

I love this picture of James...I posted it in last week's favorite photos post

Laughing at me and trying to run away from me

It's time to chase Daddy

Two new favorites of me and James

.

hahahahahaha....we were walking home and he got to the bottom of the stairs and just sat down and refused to get moving again. We walked a long way ahead of him (this photo is way zoomed in) before he finally got up and started walking towards us.

He definitely walks to the beat of his own drum.  

Love it!
