Layla's Birthday Splash

Another year, another pool party :)   Layla had a great time splashing with her friends on St. Patty's Day, she didn't want to leave the pool!  This year, we managed a longer game of Fishy in the Middle too.  Afterwards, we stuffed our faces with snacks, and pink cupcakes.  After all the party balloons were cleared out of the room, we went to a family party at Poh Poh's house.  Layla definitely had a full day of feeling special and loved.

Happy Birthday to You!!!

Thanks for coming!

Thanks for celebrating with us!


    It's hard to keep track of Layla's development now, here are some that I can think of:

  • Layla LOVES crafts, anything that requires cutting, painting, pasting, and drawing keeps her happy, although she doesn't have patience to colour pictures
  • She also enjoys dot-to-dot and mazes, so an activity book will also keep her busy
  • Layla likes to play house with her sister, build forts, set up cars and drive to places, and play on the toy piano and perform songs
  • Layla likes to help with baking treats in the kitchen, she likes to dump the ingredients into the bowl, mix, roll out dough, cut out cookies and put cupcake liners into the tray
  • Layla seems to be doing well in preschool, she is working on numbers #14-20, sounds of letters, and can sound out simple three letter words
  • Layla is not a big fan of going grocery shopping, but if shopping involves going to the mall, visiting the play area & her favourite toy stores, going on train rides, and getting treats, she is in
  • Overall, she is still the spunky, outgoing, happy big girl, and we love her, big bear hugs!

Happy 4th Birthday, Big Girl Layla!  We love you!

Playing House

Here are some pictures of the girls playing their favourite past time, house.  They love it!  They even have their own car.  They open the kitchen cabinets, and push some chairs in between, and off they go...




Fun on Bikes

Today, we got to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine.  Len set up the girls' ride on bikes that they got for Christmas.  The girls got to try out their new rides around the neighbour school.

Happy Valentine's Day!



Hope your day was a sweet one filled with love!

Fieldtrip on the Skytrain

Over the weekend, we took a fieldtrip on the skytrain with the Tan-Ngs.  We started at Lougheed Mall, and rode the skytrain down to Waterfront, then took the sea bus to the Lonsdale Quay.  The weather was wet, but the kids didn't mind.  They enjoyed lunch at McDonalds, and playing in the ball pit in kids area in the Quay.  Good times!




Feeling the Love...

Last week, I was another year older.   Our family spent the day at the aquarium, and we played with the dolphins.  If you haven't tried it, wave a dolphin stuffie in the window, and the dolphins will swim up to the window.  So cute!  My hubby also cooked a wonderful dinner of bacon wrapped lemongrass chicken, Caesar salad, and Thai coconut shrimp soup!  Very gourmet!
