Last week we took some family friends to Churchill Square to the Street Performers Festival. Brynlee had a total blast leading Simon and Estelle around the square and splashing in the pool with Lola. The weather was amazing… and so were the mini doughnuts and lemonade! Definitely a must-see with littles for next summer if you missed it 🙂

Yesterday we finally made it to the St. Albert Farmer’s Market and had an absolute blast! Brynlee loved people watching, holding Daddy’s hand and giving strangers hugs ^^^. We were so excited to cross yet another item off our Summer Bucket List… stay tuned for the full list of fun things to do around the city [and mountains] this summer!

We bought: a couple of Confetti Sweets cookies (sugar and oatmeal M&M); Blue Kettle ginger sauce; lemonade; and a couple packs of Sunworks Farm organic chicken sausage for dinner. Everything was so delicious, we will definitely be back 🙂

This morning I was fiddling around with Photoshop (my nemesis) and came up with this cute stat sheet. We have quite a bit of family and friends who live out of town, so I thought this was a creative way to display and show them what Brynlee is up to these days 🙂

Yesterday we took some gorgeous pictures of Brynlee in her one year birthday outfit! Most props are from Michaels and will be used for her party next weekend. Craig carefully helped me make the tassels (best husband ever!) and the “follow your heart” keepsake box will be where guests put their predictions for her time capsule! She did so well… but eventually got exhausted and decided to take a birthday girl nap 😉

How sweet are the moments you don’t expect but are able to capture forever. This little girl woke up crying during her afternoon nap and Daddy came straight to the rescue.

Ever since Brynlee was born, my love and admiration for my husband has grown exponentially. Craig absolutely adores our little girl and Brynlee trusts this man like no other. The look on her face and sound of her adorable giggle makes my heart melt when he throws her up in the air and catches her with ease. Craig was meant to be a Dad, and Brynlee was meant to be his daughter. They are already so similar it is ridiculous – bubbly, outgoing hand-talkers. It definitely doesn’t help that Brynlee is his little clone… I will have to find some toddler pictures of Craig to do a comparison soon!
