At the beach with family

More pics of Acapulco and the time spent with family:

Chris went surfing with Lauri.

The oldest and the youngest.

Awww! Danny & Irene with tiny but huge Christian.

Clara, we missed you... again!

The boys.

Trying to be cool. Sorry Lauri, you'll never make it.

Happy cousins.

At the beach!

I promised to post photos of our vacation in January, so here is the first batch:

Justy's first time feeling the sand and ocean. (We went to Acapulco when he was 10 days old but he didn't get to enjoy the beach that time, heh.)

Lily drew this on the sand all by herself; I thought she did pretty good.

Wiped out after a long day of fun in the sun!

I love my babies!

The happy Brown family!

Photos from Justin's 1st birthday

I know it's been a couple of months but things have only just started to settle down and we have the laptop back -yay!- so I can catch up on posting older pics.

Birthday dinner.

Nikki & Ben helped Daddy put the finishing touches on the cake.

The finished product.

Happy family.

Justin is pretty grumpy in all the photos cuz around that time he still had the swollen gland on his face.

Yup! These two are related!

All the Canadian cousins together!

He loved Grandma's present.

Easter egg hunt!

On Easter Sunday we went to Sorrento to visit some friends who'd invited us to attend their church service and join their Easter egg hunt & hot dog picnic at the park. The kids loved Sunday school and all the activities. Here are some pics of the hunt:

With the Easter bunny. He held out his basket for Ben to take a chocolate egg and Ben happily took the whole basket, heh.

All set to start!

They found lots of little eggs and got some big ones too that they traded in for big chocolate bunnies (which we're turning into chocolate chip muffins, ha!). Justin found 5 little eggs and was so excited! He kept saying "A ball!" He was too interested in the shiny egg to pose for the pic.

First little taste.

In it all goes!

That evening we had a wonderful Easter dinner with our friends and their family. There was so much good food and another egg hunt for the kids! We had a great time and came home with lots of chocolate.

PJ and crazy hair day!

On April 1st the kids had crazy hair and pyjama day at school. They loved it!

Lily's crazy hair.

And crazy face!

At first Ben didn't want to have crazy hair, but later on Rose convinced him and styled his hair in the cutest mohawk. Didn't get a pic though.

The kindergarten class also celebrated their Easter party on that day and everyone was supposed to bring a snack so of course we brought...

MUFFINS! Tiny carrot muffins.

April fools day

This...
...was the first April fools prank I've ever done on Chris. And I got him! Ha ha! It was awesome, he totally believed me and we even sat down and discussed whether we wanted a girl or a boy, what names we liked, etc.
Not until he started playing his own pranks on his family did he realize that maybe he'd been pranked first, and he laughed so hard to think that he'd fallen for it.

Note: I am not implying that getting pregnant would be a bad thing. It would just be highly unlikely as I'm still nursing Justin.
