The blue-eyed boy.

My nephew, Wesson, is just the sweetest little dumpling with the most beautiful blue eyes. No wonder he has all girl-friends at school :)

Picture Day Practice.

Today is 'picture day' for my niece, Charlotte. Since I was going to be off at school before she even woke up (which is just ridiculous), I thought it would be appropriate if we had a mini-shoot the evening before to practice her smile (and because she is just so cute that I want as many photos of her as I can possibly get!).

So, here are a few of my faves from yesterday's Charlotte-shoot! 

I have a feeling her 'picture day' is going to be a breeze.

Ps. This girl needs a modelling contract, ASAP!

 My nephew, Wesson, wanted to show off his Diego pj's. Haha!

I can't believe she is only FIVE! Ah! She is just the best :)

The First of Many.

I love this little girl to bits and I was blessed with the experience of watching her go to her first day of Elementary School yesterday! 

Watching her excitement and nerves build on our way to the school is a memory I will store away for a long time. She is just the most precious and one of the most bright 5 year olds I have ever known.

I cannot wait to watch as she becomes more of the person she is supposed to become and the stories she will share :)

Manitoba Treasures.

Since my brother and his family got here last Saturday, we have been non-stop (in the best way possible)!

We ventured down to Souris (one of my favourite spots to visit), we have discovered more nooks and crannies of Brandon and we have been enjoying our life in the little town we live in a lot more.

This past Saturday, we squished into the car with family, picked up some extended family along the way, and headed up to the beautifully breathtaking Clear Lake in Riding Mountain National Park! 

I could not believe my eyes. It was like we weren't in Manitoba anymore. There was a LAKE! And it was actually clear! It was just so magnificent! 

I will let the photos explain how gorgeous this place was and what an awesome day we all had :)

My brother took this funky photo. 

It's 'breaking' photography rules but it really captures how awesome of a day it was!

The Great Escape

A&A got hitched.

My best friend, Annie, of 24 years (she was there the day I was born) has finally become a Mrs.! Sadly, I wasn't able to be there and take the position of maid-of-honour, but from the photos I have seen, it looked like a real fairytale-meets-country wedding. Only the best for my bestie :) 

I am borrowing (Stealing. I am stealing it) this photo from Annie's aunt because I am just blown away for two reasons: 1. They are just too cute, and 2. He MADE that chandelier! 

Isn't it extraordinary?! 

Because of you.

Today marks 5 years with this handsome fella! 

Our love story started back in June of 2010 in a magical place called Dooly's (It was a bar. Not as magical as Disney World but close enough!). It wasn't the fanciest of venues or the most romantic start of a 'love-story' but it is and will always be our story and every day I thank God for blessing me with the most incredible human being that I am able to call my husband, my partner, my love.

Because of you

I can

feel myself 

slowly

but 

surely

becoming the me

I

have always 

dreamed

of

being.
