Baby Shower!

Last Saturday, Parker, Matt and I went to the first Annual Dawson Creek Baby Shower.  It was a big celebration for all babies born in 2011.  We had a lot of fun and it was nice that Matt was able to come with us.  I've only been to a few play groups but this one definitely got me motivated to go to more.  Parker loved socializing and I need more mommy friends (because really, I don't have many irl)  We filled up on cake and snacks, had Parkers photo taken and they even gave out little gift bags when we were ready to leave.

Our Week Captured

It's been such a whirl wind lately that I've seriously been slacking on the picture taking and blogging.  Buuuut I have accomplished quite a bit this week.

1. Parker and I have some serious fun in the kitchen and there is soooo much natural sunlight that it's beautiful for photo taking.  I love his little smirk in this shot!


2. It was my 19th birthday on Saturday.  My Dad bought me this beautiful cake with my favorite frosting.  So yummy, thanks Pa!


3. Parker met my Dad's, Girlfriend's Son, Ryder.  He is the cutest 3 year old I've ever met and plays so well with Parker.


4. Parker entertaining himself while I sort through the mountain of clothes he's accumulated.  90% of the time he hates his exersaucer and the other 10% of the time he tolerates it.

I was Nineteen.

Yesterday I celebrated my 19th birthday.  I started my day off by sleeping in while Matt woke up with Parker.  My Mother Inlaw came over and babysat Parker so Matt and I could go out for birthday sushi (so delish!).  We collected Parker and went to my Dad's for a steak dinner and cake.  My Grandparents came down from Fort St. John to come see us.  It was a great time.  Later in the evening I met up with my good friend Jen and we went to a few bars for drinks.  This was my first real outing in over a year, the most time I've ever been away from Parker before was 2 hours and oh boy, did I ever miss him! Yesterday made me realize how truly blessed I am to be surrounded  by such awesome people. I had a blast, so much so I barely took any photos!  So here are some of Parker and Juno instead;

I am so impressed with Juno.  We adopted her on boxing day and she came out of her shell right away.  She's so good with Parker.  He's man handled her a few times and not a scratch to be seen on him.  They are for real best buds.  Juno sits and watches as he plays and sometimes joins in the fun.
