Training wheels!

Like a plant; if I water my roots, I will grow!

Sweet new bubble-blowing machine. So manly.

At least i pulled up my pants!

Hurry up Dad, you're falling behind...

I'll do it myself - thanks. I'm one year old for goodness sake!

Body Language Translation: "Giraffe's are AWESOME!"

Squirrel feast

So turns out we're attracting more squirrels than birds - but that's Ok - the Currie house is squirrel friendly. Evan and Tucker were both equally thrilled. Also added a very exciting video of our friday morning dog walks.

Packing lightly...

Scored a great deal on a kiddie backpack on kijiji yesterday so, of course, we needed to go break it in! Nothing gets Tom out of bed early like a World Cup Soccer game, so it was easy to get ourselves out the door. And hey, it wasn't raining so it was easy to get motivated. Our original plan was Elbow Lake but the snow and 8C were not appealling - it's June for goodness sake, so we turned around and did Kananaskis lake trail instead. The backpack was a hit for Dad and Evan, mom was less of a fan as Evan took full advantage of his elevated position to steer using her hair as the reins. Apparently hair pulling is a tiring business as you can see by the picture!

Ticket Wicket

So, i have added to my list of ridiculous tickets. That's right, still no speeding tickets (not that i'm complaining) but a ticket for playing frisbee with my dog. Actually i would have gotten a ticket for the that except that Tucker has apparently not het his license renewed since 2006. Bad dog - wish he's stay more on top of that stuff. Evan's lucky he didn't get a ticket too - the bylaw officer was questioning him when he had tucker's leash - 'are you sure you have control of that dog, young man'? Sheesh...

So, 250 dollars poorer we headed to the doctor to address chronic cough diaper rash - Evan, not me, that is. He's fine, just a really delicate little flower:) who spent the first 90 minutes of his day screaming. Let's hope these nasty eye teeth come in soon!

In other news, i'm finally doing this blogging thing. So far, not so painful after 2 years of procrastination!
