And then there were three...

So, I'm not entirely sure how our parents did it when we were little. Having three little bodies the same age kept us three moms on our toes. It was crazy cute seeing them together...

Playing in the curtains

Auntie Ali knows they best way into the Stager household and brought some yummy desert!

More pictures of the three kids are to come as we are going to visit again tonight!!!

Canmore

So, we decided it would be a GREAT idea to go the Mountains so Marty could learn a new word (Montagne). Well, about halfway through the drive to Canmore, when both kids were crying, we were thinking hmmmm.... maybe not such a great idea? We then met up with Kevin (Danica's brother in law) and had some lunch. Marty was not in the mood to sit still and may or may not have thrown a temper tantrum (I'm told this was a mild one). Kayden was doing awesome and then ended the lunch with a bang, literally... Broke a glass in a bunch of little pieces. Danica and I were a wee bit embarassed and I don't think Kevin is welcome back.

So, we decided it was mandatory to have a 'Park' break and that was a great plan!

We played on the swings...

Kayden showed his bossy side...

And then his cute side...
And fell in love with the slide.

Martin ran off just about all his energy...

Both moms are happy on the way home...

Because there was peace at last!!!

East meets West...

We are so excited to have Martin and Danica come for a visit! It is very interesting to see the boys interact as they are quite the opposites. They are learning from each other though and next time they meet I'm sure they will be great friends.

Grandpa Stew!

Or Baba as Kayden liked to call him. Dad and Grandpa were outside working on the patio one day and Kayden said Baba! Dada! So cute... Grandpa is way too hard to say anyways...

Hippo

Just a short clip of Kayden and his new best bud...

Goodbye Elmo, Hello Hippo!

(it was one of our hot days in Calgary which explains Kayden's shirtlessness)

Thanks GG!

Our Backyard is finally done!!!

Well, we've been pretty excited to finish the stone patio in the yard only because, it's the last big yard project! We were not excited about the actual work and well, it wasn't fun but, it's done!

A BIG THANKS to Grandpa Stew who was a huge help in getting this all done.

I should have done this one from the same angle but you get the idea. Woohoo! It's been just amazing to sit out there and enjoy it all. It makes the backyard feel so much bigger now that we have more useable space.

Calaway Park

It was a while ago now but Chad's work was nice enough to treat us to Calaway Park for the day. Now, the last time I went, I was in my teens and that it was sooo boring. This time, I realized that there is a lot of kid friendly rides and Kayden had a blast!

Trying out the rides with mom
And Dad...
This was actually his first ride and he was a little confused by it all.

Walking the grounds like a big kid.

Enjoying a popsicle, yummmm.

Future careers

With Grandpa Stew visiting, Andy, Ali and Molly came out a few times and the kids had a blast together. We may have some budding career aspirations already starting at such a young age...
