Zach is 1

These photos pretty much sums up how his birthday went. It was really fun that everybody were all into it and made time to attend the party. The gifts were overwhelming but more importantly, we are truly thankful that God gave us our little Zach. I'll be updating soon. Life is busy lately. LOL

May weather

April has been quite getting me off the keyboards because of work (mother duties as well). We have been mall rats lately like we were out even after work. We also have our usual parks and playplace. After the snow being cleared up, our itchy feet wont stop us from just fleeing wherever. I hope I dont see the snow in more months because its just too much that it makes you mad. If you live in Canada, you know why. So this season is what everybody's been waiting for - Spring! I love Spring because its still a bit chilly but  days are longer like sunsets at 9pm and i love it! We can have some barbeque sessions and prolly a glass of Moscato (I can now have a few sips). I can wear slip ons and no warmers! 

Here are random photos we had this afternoon at a carnival by the mall. 

Zoe riding this for the first time, I was a bit hesitant about this but she was eager to do it so I gave it a go. We couldnt stop laughing seeing her serious reaction. She looked scared but was hiding it yet by the end of the cycle, she gave me a thumbs up. 

This now she was already having fun. It was cute though that she was already getting the hang if it and said it was awesome. We also rode the Ferrys wheel sans the photo because we ran out of battery (boo) although we promise to be back because it was indeed fun. Now, we cant wait for river ex. 

After that fun aftie, the kids were knocked out in bed. Random plans are by far the best ones,

Disney on Ice

Last February 21st my family watched Disney on Ice at the MTS Centre despite the below 30's weather. It was spectacular because the characters were surreal and their skating forms were astounding! I guess it is the child in me that really brings me the amazement for Disney characters especially the Princesses and Heroes.  Zach was very behaved since I bought his drinks and snacks. While my Princess Zoe, on the other hand, can't keep her eyes off the eyes. There were a number of Disney novelty items sold and my Zoe can't stop pointing on everything she likes. She has her child tax anyway and it was suppose to be her night, we just gave in. 

 My childhood favourite love team! Jasmine and Alladin (everyone singing along)

 Here is Us 

 Kids were amazed with the fire stints from Sleeping BeautyDisney on Ice

Here is a video Mark, whom I never thought would have enjoyed the whole show, took. We capped the night with a cup of Tims (drive thru) while the kids snoozed in the car. 

Valentines

It's the time of the year when people take an extra effort to show each one's affection to their loved ones. As for my family, we spent it by a late lunch at a Chinese restaurant because they had to wait for me from work. Hubby surprised me with these lovely tulips, chocolates and a hallmark card the night before. I know he was going to give me something but on how he did? it was quite special. Of course, I had a card for him ready and for my two adorable kids. I wanted to make it a tradition that we take an additional step on demonstrating how we love and care for each other. 

The day was a success. My Zach is growing really fast too! A part of his milestone are being able to walk with support, talk a little and crawl like a pro. He is really tall too because his height is of a 15 month old. He is a sucker for massages and he loves his Ritz. My Zoe, on the other hand, is so dalaga. She can follow instructions and can say poems and sing songs from nursery rhymes to Katy Perry and Yeng's Chinito LOL. I'm teaching her tagalog words too and we are now polishing on different animals. I want my kids to be able to understand Filipino (tagalog/visayan) because I want them to know that they may have grown in Canada but they still have the Pinoy blood running in them.
