Our Family

We finally had family pictures taken!! Thanks to Jun. I have edited some of these pictures, but not all of them yet. I want to crop a few of these (i.e. the one of the boys with my arm in it! and the one above...don't really need all the extras) I really like them!!

We were having quite the time getting our monkey to smile for pictures...he was to occupied with his cousins.

When he did smile...they are adorable ;)

There was a bit of chocolate bribing for this shot. LOL!

;)

Brothers!!!!

This one is a definite keeper!

Remember how I have said that when I have tried to take his picture lately he charges...well, to be able to get a smile out of Joshua, Sandra was getting him to 'get her,' this is how we got him to smile.

Oops! Lol!!

My guys!!!

Slobber!! :)

:)

LOVE :)

Candid! Daddy and Matthew!

There you have it! Let me know which pictures you want Dads and Mums!

Rose Garden in Stanley Park, Cypress Mountain, and Matching outfits

A week and a half ago, we had Charles Sutphin, one of Nathan's childhood friends, visiting us. So, we took him sightseeing. We went to Stanley park and walked around for a while. We saw these horses while we were walking around the rose garden.

Joshua gave me that flower...I tried taking a picture of him giving me the flower, but it was to blurry. He was to interested in the horses that were walking past ;)

I love the colors of this rose!

Yes, he likes his hat like this :) whenever we push it up, he turns around and pulls it back down!?!?!

I enjoyed having Jun's camera while we were out!

A pink double Decker bus!

Matthew up Cypress mountain...enjoying the view :)

A beautiful view of the city of Vancouver while up Cypress.

Nice view!

Lately, every time I have tired to take a picture of Joshua, he charges at me...funny boy!

My parents gave Joshua and Matthew matching outfits :)

Big eyes!

Brothers! Nothing can come between them! Joshua is starting to like playing with Matthew more and more everyday! Of course Matthew LOVES it when his big brother plays with him :) it is soooo adorable! Joshua shows Matthew how to play cars, ride his bike, work with his tools...all the BOY stuff! It is so neat to see them getting along so well! Today, I was in the other room when I heard Matthew laughing SO hard...Joshua had started playing peek-a-boo with him! It was so cute! Joshua is VERY protective of Matthew too. Don't dare try and touch him when Joshua is watching him ;)
"There were never such devoted BROTHERS!" :)

Boys

I finally have been able to get some good pictures of our boys! Here are a few that I took a couple of days ago...I am really happy with them. I still want to do some editing to a couple of them and then I am going to print them! I can't wait! Joshua is 2 years old and Matthew is just about 5 months old (on the 5th).

ba ba ba ba

Yesterday, Matthew woke me up saying, or should I say YELLING "Ba ba ba ba ba!" When he talks he doesn't use an inside voice ;) he likes to be loud, very loud!

I actually did get a couple of pictures of Matthew while he was smiling, but they were blurry :( I'll have to try again...

Matthew sat up for the first time yesterday...well, I had to sit him there, but he stayed there!! He's getting so big! Time flies...

Yes, he is ALL boy like his big brother! He loved having this football with him in his pictures...you should see him trying to get a hold of Joshua's big green ball (its 2' tall and around!)

Matthew is 4 1/2 months old already and trying to keep up with his big brother! Who, may I add was in a hilarious mood last night! He made Nathan and I laugh all night! Where he got some of the things he was doing, I'll never know...he's a boy ;)

Like Mommy like son!

Joshua, our big boy! On Saturday, I was asking Nathan if he would like a cup of coffee and Joshua heard...he then asked, "Mommy, my have coffee too?" I had to laugh, then told him, no, you can't have some buddy! A few minutes later, Joshua saw me putting the coffee from the container into my coffee canister. He asked, "What doin Mommy?" So I told him and then he asked, "Mommy, my have coffee too please! My like coffee, mmm, nummy!!" It was priceless! At first I just stood there because he has never said so many words at one time! Then I started laughing at him, so he started laughing too! It was so cute! What can I say...he knows what he likes :) and coffee happens to be one of those things, just like me! ;)

I attempted a photo shoot of our boys... these are the best ones that I could get of Joshua. He did a really good job, but I couldn't find our tripod right away, so.... using a portrait lense was a bit diffecult to get him to look at me, smile and then take the picture without moving ;P

I wanted Joshua to hold something in the pictures and since he was playing with his football, and it is "so him," I figured that it was the best prop for him to use! He also wanted Matthew to use his football for pictures later on too!

When I found our tripod, Joshua decided that he needed to use it to take pictures like Mommy! He went around the house all the rest of the day saying, "Look Mommy, cheese, smile Mommy!" Can you tell he heard that line a few times that day! :) He's so funny!
