Our new house has this awesome window in the dining room that I LOVE. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew right away I wanted curtains up. I adore the curtains I have in my living room, but thought it would be overkill to have the pattern here too. So here is my "naked" window...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(bad cell pic, mess in the area)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRKpHa46k7N5dzGWbxfyDLpvp9M7_1pdKiP2IDo0urx5iV9pbZ7KR_XtDCx9igEbHde5yI0nCnpuHd4uSHcasXlD5-jnvoQkNUCwKaAoDw6MQzL1HR4JHHNzF7M5iU2a0_InHJCEZktJBv/s1600/curtains3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRKpHa46k7N5dzGWbxfyDLpvp9M7_1pdKiP2IDo0urx5iV9pbZ7KR_XtDCx9igEbHde5yI0nCnpuHd4uSHcasXlD5-jnvoQkNUCwKaAoDw6MQzL1HR4JHHNzF7M5iU2a0_InHJCEZktJBv/s640/curtains3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is with my curtains ! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a difference it makes !!<br />
<br />
They have a really pretty faint embroidery pattern on them that you can't see here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWnim5mmSq1RwR1FubkZKb0juX3S8z5sfKlqZESzeuD9sPjwmNmXDRkAF_ZIyBglqq5LFrxJCSdCf2XiU-_868bPXDiCLFUax83fIJR4PoMlJ1k8Rl36L1oNrp7nAyieUtAipCPxXQ52zy/s1600/curtains4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWnim5mmSq1RwR1FubkZKb0juX3S8z5sfKlqZESzeuD9sPjwmNmXDRkAF_ZIyBglqq5LFrxJCSdCf2XiU-_868bPXDiCLFUax83fIJR4PoMlJ1k8Rl36L1oNrp7nAyieUtAipCPxXQ52zy/s640/curtains4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the next question is, do you like the curtains undressed (above)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or dressed (below)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ps- dressed is the fancy tie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmFS9EfyRzrZD2AMLhyxGoEUHE8DTeLZDCk0_phT8YrlPc0h2qQKdG9yYCVbg3bAA9nG7VYuBANCqQfWjv_9fGt2T7290Dr3ySLmUMprNg8dxzLocODbCcIJI6xcyedbLnNwTgdaGkMaHO/s1600/curtains2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmFS9EfyRzrZD2AMLhyxGoEUHE8DTeLZDCk0_phT8YrlPc0h2qQKdG9yYCVbg3bAA9nG7VYuBANCqQfWjv_9fGt2T7290Dr3ySLmUMprNg8dxzLocODbCcIJI6xcyedbLnNwTgdaGkMaHO/s640/curtains2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This space IS a work in progress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You might remember my fancy multi coloured chairs... well, they might get a second makeover</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the new to me china hutch I bought and love is in the garage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It no longer fits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So i'm looking for something nice to go over on that left hand side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that photo still needs to get hung up on the right side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyone notice that I have tiny "rods" only on the sides of the window for the curtains?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, the curtains are for show only. They give the space texture and warmth, and aren't intended to be closed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had bought "real" curtain rods, but instead, I used loonie store kitchen accessory rods. I like that they were cheap and easy for me to put up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you think of the transformation?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, dressed or undressed?</div>

Hello friends ! We've been busy as of late. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today will be a happy post. A sad one will follow in a few days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After loving our tenant's dog Oakley when we were in Kamloops- I desperatly wanted a dog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sort of got over it a bit, but Dylan caught dog fever, and while in Kamloops, we told him we'd consider getting one when we moved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we've now moved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had sort of decided not to get one, but a trip to Petcetra , where they had rescue dogs changed that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We fell in love with her little puppy face, and adopted her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Introducing Rosie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8 weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Full of puppy spunk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is her and her litter mates - they were all found abandoned near a river in the cold.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello friends ! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have now been in Sherwood Park for a month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had everything unpacked and organized within a week- minus the garage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've had lots of friends ask to see our new place....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, until you all come for a visit, here are some pics of what I'm doing with the house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To start, it was a pretty blank slate. These images are of the main floor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In upcoming posts I'll show you other areas of the house and what we've done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, the outside of the house !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm pondering painting the door a bright funky colour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Suggestions??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The living room is more of a sitting, talking reading peaceful space. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NO TV.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My style has had to change a bit with this type of home. In Kamloops, I had a lot of vintage finds, but they just don't seem to fully fit in this very modern home. You'll still find them, but they are a bit harder to locate in this house than they were in Kamloops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We added some curtains which helped soften the windows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've really missed the view out of my window from Kamloops, so I got a giant print of one of my favorite Kamloops images. I took this image about a year before we moved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do miss the mountains and actually should have spent a lot more time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
photographing and enjoying them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But we've brought pieces of Kamloops with us, and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this photo reminds me of what I loved about Kamloops.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do however no longer have the ability to sit and look out my living room window</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and spy on my cul de sac buddies while enjoying the scenery, so the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
photo will have to suffice.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I LOVED my dining room light fixture, so before we put our house</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the market, I took it down and replaced it with a cheap restore one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm happy it came with us. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The light in this house is amazing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the back door had a huge kitchen window that sort of creeped me out at night</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with nothing on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found on pintrest a tutorial for a roman shade. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It looked so easy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not so. Mine actually doesn't work, for some unknown reason</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it covers the window, looks nice, matches my curtains in the living room</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and serves it's purpose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what if it doesn't actually go up or down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what if I glue gunned it so it's up a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know how DIY projects can go.</div>

So to replace some of the vintage character I had in my Kamloops home, I've turned to some funky</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
unexpected items.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yellow Kitchen Cow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and yet to be painted goat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why not?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, this was a bit of a peek of our house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Casa Cook is officially open for visitors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO COME !!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because we really miss a lot of you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But we are happy with our new home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did make the right decision.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we are happy to be back in Alberta.</div>
<div>

Hello world !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are in our new house in Sherwood Park, it's been less than two weeks, and we are mostly unpacked, and mostly organized ! It's been lots of fun to set up the house, but it has NOT been fun to unpack box after box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the movers came, the boxes just kept coming and coming. We could hardly beleive the amount of "stuff" we have. There have been a few trips to the thrift shop for some purging, and there will be more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We painted right away when we got here because we were without much of anything for the first 5 days ! Dylan's room got one wall painted in Calgary Flames' red. I did caution him and Mat that living here, we may also become oilers fans, but the red still went up. Had I known that our beloved Iginla was going to be traded, I would have kiboshed the red. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our bedroom got a wall in an amazingly peaceful purple. My mother in law helped me pick out the colour in our last house for the feature wall of our bedroom and we picked a lovely shade of purple which my father in law kindly did for us. I had one HUGE complaint about it-- It was on the wall that my bed was, so I barely got to see it. This go around I painted it on the other wall-- the one I will see all the time. And I love it ! Dyl was a painting helper, until he got bored and moved on. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Start with brilliance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These Ikea spice racks are now being used in our ensuite to store, and keep our daily use items handy.</div>

Second, our guest room downstairs had door with clear pains of glass in it. Lovely since it lets light and keeps this small space from feeling closed in. Not so lovely because if you stay at our house, the bedroom faces our family room and play room, and if you are sleeping, or changing clothes, or picking your nose, we will all be treated to a show. Soooo I found , for $9.99 a lovely sticky paper to put on to allow that light to continue to go through, but give some privacy. Now if you are picking your nose in that room, I might see a silhouette of it, but not the actual act. Genius.</div>

And the stupid. After my last text to Lia in my car, I put my phone in my purse, went into winners and was gong to text again. Phone was missing. Long story short, after about an hour, and a trip in winners, I found my phone, under the tire of a DIFFERENT car that was now next to me.</div>

Nothing makes a move more official then purchasing a house !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mat and I took a trip up to Edmonton on our own three weeks ago and found a house that we think will suit our family well. We decided to live in <a href="http://www.strathcona.ab.ca/">Sherwood Park</a> instead of Edmonton. We thought the "small city" feel of it would hopefully mimic all of the things we liked about Kamloops. It's close to Mat's work, and it's practically attached to Edmonton, so it seemed like a good option. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had our house inspection last week, and took the opportunity to be present for that, as well as bring Dylan along to introduce him to Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and to give him a peek at his new house. He had been to Edmonton when he was six months old, but we wanted to take him to get him excited about the move. He's been adjusting well, but every so often asks about his friends in Kamloops, and twice has said he wants to go back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other day he told Grandma to move to Kamloops so he can go visit her, and visit his friend Sean, so clearly, he is missing Kamloops and his friends, but is still excited about the move.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I managed to secure a spot for a preschool for him for April- June, and then again starting in September.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He gave the thumbs up on the house, and picked his room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then it was off to the mall, to show him all the fun that can be had there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I say <a href="http://www.wem.ca/">"THE MALL" </a> of course I mean West Edmonton Mall.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've neglected this blog over the past months, but have decided to get back to blogging to document our move. Following a work transfer, we put our house up for sale,and miraculously sold it in decent time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was sad to say goodbye to the friends Dylan and I made, some really good friends that we miss already.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Kamloops family, who are our next door neighbours hosted a going away open house for us. It was more of an intimate affair rather than an open house unfortunately, but the positive side is it was opportunity to spend a bit of extra time with Donna and Kerrie before we left. Your friendship has been an important source that helped us settle in Kamloops. You four will always be special to us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dylan and I had a final playdate with our besties on our last full day in Kamloops. We will miss you guys more then you know, and it's very sad for me to think of not seeing you guys weekly and not seeing your kids grow up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we've learnt when we moved from Calgary to Kamloops, and now from Kamloops to Edmonton, friends often disengage as soon as they know you are leaving. It's tough, but I guess it is what it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So off we went early Saturday January 26th 2013. We loaded up our vehicles with kid, cats, last minute stuff and were waved out by Kerrie and the kids before the sun rose, which was nice, but sad.<br />
<br />
It all began with a lot of boxes...</div>

Hello long lost blog ! It's certainly been a while ! I sort of just went back to putting everything on facebook instead of here, but I figured with us moving, it's a good time to document that, and get this blog up and running again so our good friends can keep up with what's happening with us. I'll get more into the move in future posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is our fifth winter in Kamloops. The year Dylan was born was crazy snowy. This winter is shaping up to be worse ! The temperatures are decent- not too cold, but the amount of snow is huge ! Possibly more than the year Dyl was born.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, Dylan and I had a lovely play date with a good friend and her adorable little one. After they went home, we were playing downstairs when we heard this loud noise outside. I looked out, and there was tiny hail stones falling into our winter wonderland. It was the oddest thing. I yelled for Dyl to get his pants (don't ask) and we promptly went out and marveled in it. </div>

It was pretty amazing. It lasted for about 15 minutes. We went in, took a bucket of the hail inside to put in our freezer, and then the rain fell. Rain falling fast into the winter wonderland. Soooo odd ! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a fun experience, something i'd never seen with the hail coming down in WINTER. Dylan enjoyed the novelty of it, and we didn't think twice about getting dressed as quickly as we could and going out to enjoy it. It's times like this that I love the nature of being an at home mom. We can follow our whim, and do what pleases us. </div>

Dylan is full of stories and creativity lately. There are a few "gems" I've been wanting to share.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"When I'm big and a fire man, i'm going to take my fire truck and go get a dog from the pet store and i'm going to name my dog Cutty"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"When I'm big and a fire man, I will need somebody to drive my truck to Edmonton because I don't know the way"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In talking about being a fire man, he was also surprised to know he can't take the big fire engine home with him at night. He said he'd have to buy a truck like daddy's. But blue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is currently saying he's going to be a fire man in Calgary and live with Grandma.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Out of the blue one day, he said "When I am a fire man and a daddy I will name my son Magnet"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It took about a day for me to figure this one out, because he kept telling me that Grannie would be happy that his son was named Magnet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I said.... Margaret? Yes, Magnet. I'm going to name my son Magnet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's started calling all babies Magnet- he laughs and thinks it's funny. We've been in various restaurants/stores and will hear a baby make noise. He always says, that's Magent. He sarcastically asks how Magnet gets so many places, since the Magnet thing started in Vancouver.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He suddenly refers to "Moaney" the fire guys have to go save Moaney. Not sure where he got this name.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is developing a sarcastic sense of humour. (oh oh) Having snack before bed one night, our little friend pointed to a cookie and asked what it is. Now our little friend should know, he's 3 1/2, but didn't know. Dylan told him it was a pizza.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many incidents of this sarcastic wit as of late. I have noooo idea where he gets that from.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
haha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ohhhh little Dyl. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are blessed with such a sweet little sassy soul.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The third night of our Vancouver trip we stayed in Richmond.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw a small sign about a night market. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We kept Dylan up late and went. It was an interesting mix of asian food, and strange things to buy. It was neat though because of the diversity of people there, the sheer size, and the interest factor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the second largest night market in North America.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mat ate some gross stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dylan ate potatoes on a stick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I turned my vegetarian nose up at all the odd delicacies.</div>

We like to eat out, and were really excited when Cora's came to Kamloops. We've been many times, and always leave upset about the children's meal. The other weekend we decided to give Denny's a try- it'd been forever since we've been.</div>

I've been a photography rut lately- since closing my business and being able to just photograph for me, I've sort of missed a step with my continued learning. Or I've slacked and haven't found much inspiration. Today, during a rare nap in my bed, I captured some images that I think are magically beautiful ones that in years to come I will look back at lovingly.</div>

True story- It's been so long since I blogged, that it took a bit to get in to my blog again, AND the format has changed, so i'm sort of confusaled by it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a bit of a story to tell, it involves a boy, a beautiful outdoor pool, and a wonderful milestone. So you might know the boy..... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPZ4eWkzOoNf6GFNggiRlHZV8YO9Dh8aWv23QkFTTZTSlLpTZMAcRGinJIn3afMygIWaCGwAb9MiIdiywK9j63NNCB-JTUS1amD7WEQSSFbJaQdWDqMSSC2hFWRAZ_UtZkmv0gbmOMU-63/s1600/TZC_9412-2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPZ4eWkzOoNf6GFNggiRlHZV8YO9Dh8aWv23QkFTTZTSlLpTZMAcRGinJIn3afMygIWaCGwAb9MiIdiywK9j63NNCB-JTUS1amD7WEQSSFbJaQdWDqMSSC2hFWRAZ_UtZkmv0gbmOMU-63/s640/TZC_9412-2.JPG" width="640" /></a>So here is the milestone. Our little man is JUMPING OFF THE DIVING BOARD AT THE POOL. Yup, he's 3 yrs old !!! I think he's a superstar, it's crazy he can do this !</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It started the first time I took him to the Brock outdoor pool. We were in the kiddie pool, and he asked if he could go on the diving board, which is in the part of the pool that's 10 feet deep. I was like.... no hun, you're not old enough. He looked so sad that I thought, well, I'll ask the lifeguard. So I find Mr. 20 something lifeguard and say, " my son is 3 1/2- he wants to go on the diving board, is he too young?" I'm getting ready to console him when Mr. 20 something says , "he's good to go" WHAT??? Do you see this precious young thing, my sweet little boy? 3 1/2 years, did you think I said 13 and was referring to another child? Hmm. Clarified with him. Nope, he means this small child. Ohhh K. So Dylan is crazy excited that the cool lifeguard said yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are at the pool alone, so I don't have anyone I can panic with. Instead we head over to the deep end,life jacket on, and I tell him, "mommy will catch you at the bottom" He answers back with "i'm not scared". I almost told him right then and there that someone might poop their pants with fear, and it for sure wasn't going to be him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So in the water I go.... up the steps to the diving board he goes. No fear, no hesitation. With the biggest brightest proudest smile on his face he walks to the end of the diving board, like he owns the place, and jumps. Straight off. Down into the water. I won't lie when I say I was really scared and really feeling like my heart was beating crazy fast. This is my only boy, my precious baby who is submerged in 10 feet of scary pool water, about to pop up. So up he came-- I grabbed his hand and he doggy paddled to the side. It wasn't water splutters or fear that came out of his mouth, it was the same word over and over and over again. Again, again, again again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what did I do? Yup, I was really nervous, but like the good mommy I am, I cheered for him, told him what a good job he did, and said how proud I was of him. He didn't need to know that I almost threw up from fear. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It actually was a pretty special moment because I had just witnessed his first ever time when he set a goal, he tested his limits in a safe way, and came out of it feeling such a sense of pride and accomplishment. It was one of the most amazing moments of his young life. I was really excited to see that sense of pride in mastering something new. I'm sure we will see it again as he grows up, but not with such childish, uncensored joy. It was pretty neat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that day, he jumped and jumped and jumped until his little arms could barely pull himself out of the water. There were no cameras, no moment captured, just the memory of his face. And actually, I think the memory is better then any photograph could have shown. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But today we were back with Daddy, and the camera. So here is my baby... taking a risk, excelling, and marveling in his sense of accomplishment.</div>

Our baby boo was upset about the change, so we hyped him up on the idea of an adventure walk looking for owls. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> A photographer that Mat follows on twitter had taken some owl images and was super friendly and amazingly shared where to find them. We went for breakfast, and headed out for an adventure walk. Dylan's first hike. In total we probably walked for 2 hours, and our little trooper did great. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We never found the owls, but we did trek through a lot of snow, mud, and sagebrush. At one point the very snowy, icy hill going down was too steep for Dylan and I. We had to make a decision. Venture down and fear falling, or turn back. Instead I sat on Mat's coat, Dylan between my legs and we slid down. Totally fun ! Apologies to anyone who hikes that part after us, it's now like a bobsled track.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

His little buddy, who luckily he knows very well, showed up this afternoon and Dylan wasn't willing to put on underwear, let alone pants.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">2 days shy of 3 yrs old</td></tr>
</tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;">You are 36 months old today. 36 months doesn't seem like a long time, but three years sure does !</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mommy and Daddy love you more then anything. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love when I ask you "who is my best little guy" you say shyly "I" </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You have grown and developed and changed so much since we brought you home. You are the best thing to happen to Mommy and Daddy ever ! We love to watch you do things, learn things and discover new things. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are so proud of you. We love to hear you sing Christmas songs. We love your silly little dances. We love the bedtime kisses, and nose rubs, and ear rubs....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are proud that you are a friendly outgoing boy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We love you even when you stomp your foot, give us attitude and fight for your way.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We love to watch you play for hours and hours with cars and trucks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Your little friends have become very important to you this year. You can't get enough of hanging out with Milan, and playing in the cul-de-sac with Ethan. You still think the sun rises and falls on the shoulders of your surrogate sister, and your best girl Rowan. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This year you learnt to say the ABCs, to sing full songs, to count to 10.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You still love trains and kitties and fire fighters and police officers. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You have become obsessed with hockey this year. You sometimes reply that your name is Mikka Kipprosoff instead of saying Dylan. You love Jarome Iginla and can identify many NHL teams by their jerseys. You tell us that you want to play for the Flames, and only the Flames. One day you told daddy that you "not want to play for Toronto Maple Leafs" . You love to play hockey in the cul-de-sac with the boys, and in the house even when Mommy says no. You got your first real hockey stick, hockey helmet and hockey gloves this year and wear them all the time. You enjoy watching hockey with Daddy and love going to Blazers games.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You love your Digger stuffy, and still sleep with your beloved sleeping babies. Some days there are more stuffies in your bed then we can count, including "daddy" Barney, but that's the way you like it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You went to gymnastics often, and loved it. Stella said you have natural physical ability. As your mother and number one supporter I agree. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You talk about your Grannie and Grandad and Grandma and Grandpa all the time- wishing you could spend more time with them. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You are strong willed and smart, and a bit stubborn. You are determined and focused. You want your way, and know how to throw a mean tantrum when you feel it's required, which, thankfully isn't too often. But even when you tantrum, we still love you no matter what.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You still have daddy's lips, and mommy's crooked bottom teeth and crazy cowlick. You hate to nap and are pretty much done with it as we approach three. You still cuddle with us, but on your own time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You are better at indulging me with my photo shoots, and now even sometimes willingly participate.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You are everything to us, the most wonderful little boy we could ask for, and a joy to have. I'm thankful to be an at home mommy with you and experience everything with you every day throughout your waking hours.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I will put in a request though Dylan for you to sleep in a bit longer. 5/5:30 is a bit early for Mommy. :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Third Birthday our special little boy who thinks he's such a big boy and all grown up !</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Love Mommy and Daddy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
