Birthday Boy!!

I know it has been a long time since I posted anything about life, Michael or me. Time seems to have flown away on me.

 Last month on July 15, Michael turned 1! To say that much has changed in a year is putting it lightly. Michael was the best thing to ever happen to me. He is my light, my life, and all that I live for. His smiling face makes everything seem brighter. I can't help but pray that he will forever be my little prince charming, but I know that will not be. He will grow up someday but for now he is my little Prince. He saved my life and he changed me into who I am.

    For his birthday we went to Henderson Swimming Pool with his Grandparents. I personally hate parties and it causes me to much stress to think about hosting one. We went swimming and then went to our house for food and cake! Michael was such a great sport and he had so much fun at the pool. He loves water.

Michael got a taste of KitKat bars at the pool. I think he liked it!

He got to play with his cousins, Landon and Naomi, since my mom was babysitting them that weekend. Michael goes to their house all the time when I am at work and his Aunt Heather takes care of him. He has made some playmates in the process.

   Michael has grown up so much and his sense of humor is awesome! He makes me laugh all the time and he is getting smarter by the day. When I ask him to do something, he does it. When  I am doing the laundry, he very politely unfolds everything for me so that I have to do it again. It has become an ongoing game of ours and he finds it the best game ever. He also loves to open the shower door while you are taking a shower and then will stand there and play in the water at your feet. Makes for a breezy hot shower and a fast one as well.

Family Vacation...Fort Steele British Columbia

Every year Frankie and I have gone on camping trips to BC. We have been to Kimberley and Fairmont. This year we wanted to go someplace different. We went to historical Fort Steele. It was so much fun. We have a tent trailer now and it makes camping with Michael an easy fun experience. He loved the trailer and was bouncing around, jumping and laughing at everyone and everything. We went swimming at the campgrounds pool and he loved that. We even went to Moyie Lake and played in the sand and the water. It was so much fun. Michael thought that the sand was really funny. He kept picking it up and letting it slip between his fingers onto his legs. It was adorable. He was following Frankie into the water as well. He thought it was fun. Sadly I forgot to take my camera to Moyie Lake with us so I have no pictures of all the fun we had there.
