Time for your Checkup
Jess’ one year checkup
Jessica Olive Turns One
On March 23rd, our littlest babe turned one. While Craig was at work we celebrated with helium balloons, birthday hats and as per a request by Brynlee – ice cream cone cupcakes with icing and sprinkles! That evening we celebrated with Craig’s family as we were leaving for Maui with mine a couple days later. It was small, it was memorable & I cannot believe she is already one!

Brynlee’s First Haircut
Maui, Hawaii
This is Three
We had the most amazing time celebrating Brynlee’s third birthday in Maui. We ogled at fishies during the day at the Maui Ocean Centre & enjoyed some deep dish at Lahaina Pizza Company in the evening. To top off the day our little was serenaded with Happy Birthday by the entire restaurant before enjoying a scrumptious birthday dessert.
Our little girlie has big thoughts, wild dreams and a crazy imagination. She loves horses and wants to be an astronaut (& a million other things) when she’s older. Her favourite colour is blue, she loves hard and is adored by her entire family. She is eager to learn, help and explore the world around her. She is compassionate, thoughtful and often the loudest one in the room. When you hear her full bellied laugh or see her ear to ear grin, you can’t help but smile & chuckle to yourself.
She made me a mama & this is three.

Banff, Alberta
Earlier this month we headed down to Banff, Alberta. Both girls did exceptionally well on the drive and Jessie saw the Rocky Mountains for the first time ever! Mom & Dad were able to snowboard for the first time in F O U R years and it was [thankfully] just like riding a bike! Papa & Lola treated us to some delicious dinners and before heading home we made the mandatory pit stop at the Banff Candy Store for some delicious goodies!
Ps – if you ever want the Banff Candy Store/Banff Ave all to yourself, visit on a weekday at 10am!
