The Downside of Home Ownership

So our lovely house seems to be falling apart. We have to replace the tiles in both upstairs bathrooms and kitchen because of cracking grout and tiles and we also had a pinhole leak in our copper pipes which left a moldy mess in the roof in our downstairs bathroom. Ugh!

My lovely ensuite bathroom.

Our guest/kid's bathroom. Notice the horrible fact that the plumber had to break through a shower tile to get to the pipes.

Our downstairs bathroom ceiling. Anyone feel like doing a bit of drywalling?


This is where you have to take a bath when both bathtubs in the house are currently storing toilets. Garrett and Kelsey didn't seem to mind.

Fun in the Sun!

What is summertime all about?
Sharing freezies with Daddy.

Eating carrots from Mommy's garden with Austin.

Hanging out in our new bouncy castle with Mommy.

Acting like a scary dragon. Or at least laughing at Austin acting like a scary dragon.

A naked ride on a slip and slide.

Climbing anything you can.

Hanging out with family.

Kelsey's Birthday Bash



We had a small family birthday party to celebrate Kelsey's first birthday. It was a great night and we thank everyone for coming and for all of the lovely cards and thoughtful gifts.




Our beautiful little Kelsey.


Every birthday wouldn't be complete without some party games.

You've got to love an uncle who comes over and totally tires out the kids. Thanks Uncle Dean!

Good food was enjoyed by all!

Cousin Cruz doing two things he loves to do best...climbing and eating.

Kelsey loves her new gifts!

Now to top off a great evening Uncle Dean presented Garrett with a box of Hot Wheel cars and a car transporter (that he was given from Aunty Meg's Uncle). He couldn't have been happier and has played with them every free moment he's had since then.
