Spring

Brady, Keegan & Thomas taking a break...of course you can never get the three of them to look all at the same time.

For the three & under category, Keegan finished first and Brady got third place. Brady was very excited to win $5; he decided to buy a sword when I took him shopping.

Playing in the Sand
The first time we put Thomas in the sandbox, he didn't mind the sand. After that, he did not like to sit in it, I think he didn't like it on his feet. Above: Thomas making faces at Mommy. Below: Brady & Thomas' little feet.

For now, Thomas is happy playing on Brady's dump truck since he's too small to drive it.

Opening Night at South Buxton Raceway - May 15/10



Thomas enjoying spaghetti for the first time. I am not sure if he enjoyed eating it or getting it all over more!

Thomas "playing" with Oring...he pinned him down with his feet and was pulling his tail. That cat takes alot although he is too lazy to move when he sees the kids coming for him.
Thomas 9 months old. A visit to our old town, "Ayr". We stopped to feed the ducks and swans our stale bread. Brady remembers that the swans try to nip at you so he was a little nervous sitting on the rocks close to them.

Timbit Soccer


Brady trying on his complete soccer uniform. He couldn't wait for soccer to start, he's been practising in the backyard for months. We registered him back in March and then one day in April he asked me why am I not playing soccer. So I explained that soccer doesn't start until May and we have to wait for his coach to call us to give us the time and uniform. We went last Saturday to pickup his uniform and it happened to be a crappy cold day, unfortunately there was hail and rain. Brady wanted to stay and play, then he wanted to stay and watch the other kids that were playing but we had to get Thomas home for a nap. Brad choose the #2 for Brady because the goalie gets to be #1. Brady tried it on as soon as he got home. Then he bugged me for two days to wash it...even though he had four more sleeps until he had to play.


The kids were all very cute out there, they all chased the ball in one big clump. They take the field and split it into two for the little guys...which was also confusing for the little ones because they would often try to score goals in the big nets.





Here he got to do a throw in for his team. His team won 2-0. Although he was a little sad because he didn't "win"; I think he meant because he didn't score any goals. So we explained that he did win, his team won, there are all one team and work together.

Brady had a lot of fun playing his first night and can't wait to play again. He was a very good listener and made sure the other kids were okay if they fell down. Brady was hilarious to watch on the field, he was skipping and dancing along after the ball; he would even get other kids around him to dance around while waiting for a throw-in or kick-in.
