Baby Doll

So my friend Kristen and I had a photo shoot for our little babes and it ws so much fun. They were both in great spirits and were natural STARS- we took a bunch together and solo.

Here are some just of Marcus

I could be bias, but I think he's pretty dang cute

Copy Cat

So Marcus' new thing is to copy what we do. He sure is a smarty pants and we have so much fun with it.

Please excuse the nudity- he will loath me later when he realizes I posted it. Its just too cute to pass.

Olympic Swimmer

My mom and I took marcus swimming this morning for the first time and it was so much fun. Marcus loved it of course. I knew he would. He has always loved the water since birth.

At first he was just in awe of being in this large warm pool with other babies and then he started splashing and smiling. So fun!

Tis the Season to be grateful!

I am one of those people that LOVE Christmas, but once it is over I locked it up in my memory vault and move forward! I will Not sing Christmas songs after boxing day.....BUT since it was Marcus' First Christmas, I thought I better blog about it before it really gets too late.

It will be short and sweet! We had one of the best Christmas yet. Lots of Fun with 6 Christmas Parties in three days- most of which Marcus slept because they were in the evening and it was his bedtime. OkOk I'm not a mean mom, but I did want to "try" to keep Marcus on his wonderful routine that I worked so hard on. I brought his bassinet and monitors to every house. After everyone got a chance to snuggle with him and take a hundred pics, I put him in a room, fed him and put him to bed. It was great because I would be apart of the festivities too and Marcus wasn't grumpy or out of sorts. I will note that his 7pm bedtime did get changed to 8pm which I'm OK with :)

We had lots of food, lots of Christmas carolling, lots of presents and lots of time to reflect on whats really important. Jesus Christ and his Birth

I will never forget this Christmas.

I am grateful for my Family. My Husband who is my best friend and best companion for me. For my Son who lights up my world. I am grateful for my family who are always there for me and great friends to share in my life experiences. Most importantly I'm grateful for my saviour and the Sacrifice he made for me and everyone in this world :)

Merry Christmas!

Kale Chips

Today was a rainy day in the neighbourhood- I know, I'm just as upset about it as you are. I truly wish for SNOW- thought I would never say that! Moving along-

So I decided to be creative and make a healthy snack for me to nibble on throughout the day.

I made Kale Chips. They are so Yummy and extremely healthy for you. Its funny how its become so popular in the last little while. I actually grew up eating tonnes of kale. My mother would make it on a regular basis in her Portuguese soups. I love kale.

All it ask for is a  Little olive oil, seasoning salt and bite size pieces of kale. You then bake them in the oven at 350 until crisp. So EASY and Delicious.


Marcus waited patiently with his bear for me to finish up making my little treat.

One of the Investment Companies Matt works with sent us that for Baby Marcus. I think my little guy has a new friend.

Tummy Time

Today we did some Tummy time and baby Marcus was more interested in telling mommy a story than

 lifting his head. He was being a Lazy bum today but was just utterly adorable with his cous


With a little encouragement, baby Marcus wanted to show off his mad head lifting skills to mommy.

Cant believe he is only 11 weeks- he such a chubby bunny!

Love that babe!

Something to at least "think about"

I have been called a Conspiracy theorist in my time- mostly by my husband. I will admit from time to time I get caught up in something that the government did or didn't do.

I have watched A LOT of documentaries about A LOT of different topics. I think its really important to be aware of the world around you. That being said- there is a lot of "crap"-excuse my french- out there. Sifting through is definitely needed.

I think my love for documentaries has rubbed off on Matt. So the other night he approaches me and says should watch the newest Zeitgeist. (we have watched all the other ones). I rolled my eyes and said" you know what happens when we do this!" Its ALL I talk  and think about for days.

Knowing what he was getting into, we went ahead and watched it.

It was a GREAT project clip the depicted exactly how our economy is, how it got there and where its going. I truly believe (specifically) our generation should open their eyes to how we are taking advantage of our world that we have been given. That at one time was filled with much resources has now been taken over by the greed and power of men.

I hope it doesn't offend anyone- if anything it should offend my husband who is an Investor. there is a part where we laughed and laughed our heads off- they state that the WALL STREET investors must of had brain damage to do their job because no empathy is found. I looked and Matt and said "that explains it haha)

All jokes aside- additional research is always required before taking anything at face value.

Though I have my faith, I truly believe in science and know that they work together not against eachother

All I say to my family and friends is knowledge is WISDOM, FREEDOM AND CHANGE,

The more we know the more we can actually make a difference and correct the mistakes that have been made in the past.
