Mother's Day

 My first Mother's Day at the Treehouse!
We went to Tigh Na Mara for brunch and it was such a spread.  We were stuffed!
But my favourite part was taking these lovely pictures with my lovelies.


 To the best boys in the whole wide world.  XXXXX


Tee Ball

 Tuesdays and Fridays we do Tee Ball down the street from the office at Merle Logan Field.  Will was especially into it since Tye was also signed up.  Ben is also on the team and when we go Charlie and Annabelle play on the sidelines!  You are both so cute and will be classmates soon.  Charlie has said "Annabelle is my friend."  SO cute!
High fives!

 Will running the bases super fast!

 The two besties


We moved!

 We took possession of 6942 on December 15, 2014 and have spent the last 6 months fixing it up to make it liveable.  For the last few months every spare second and day off that dad or I had we spent building shelving, painting, installing or doing myriad things at the new house to get it ready for us.  It has been a very stressful time but we made it.
On Saturday, May 2 2015 we got our little crew together, rented a van and made the move!  It wasn't a huge move, we left Nanoose pretty much staged for selling and besides we can't fit much in here anyways, haha!
You two are sharing a room now for the first time (besides summers at the cottage).  You both seem to be looking forward to this.

 Charlie, this was your very first night sleeping in a big boy bed.  First time ever!
You are obsessed with diapers right now.  Everywhere we go you ask people if their baby is wearing a diaper.  Sometimes you just pull the back of their pants out and check yourself...
When they inevitably answer that, yes their baby is wearing a diaper you proudly announce that you are not wearing a diaper!
So we have diapered your stuffies (all three bunnies and a soft white puppy) and you literally will not sleep unless they are properly diapered.  Sometimes if Mommy or Will are upset you will lend us a diapered stuffy to make us feel better.
Anyways, this explains the diapered bunny in your arms:

 Our first morning in the house having breakfast.  A crazy experience as always.


BMX!

 We have discovered BMX and I think it's here to stay!  Charlie rides his strider bike and is very good at it!  Will has been steadily improving and this very last weekend he finished first in his moto of 6 year old novice!  Will and Dad even went to a father/son clinic Friday night and went over techniques.
Charlie routinely finishes first in his moto.  Way to go Coopers!
Mommy is yelling her head off at the sidelines of course :)

 Look at you go!

 Will took a spill last week by hitting another rider's tire.  The riders are so close to one another, apparently it happens all the time but it is hard to watch.
Poor guy, you had a very big abrasion for sure.  But you toughed it out as always.  First of many I suspect although we've definitely got you in elbow and knee pads now.

Will is SIX

 I can't believe my baby boy is SIX!

 Of course, the trip was your main gift but we got you a couple of small things to open.  I suction cup bow and arrow, and a Darth Vader tee and one for Dad.

 Make a wish my sweetheart XXXX


Teacups!

 Every night we would talk about our favourite rides and every night Charlie said "Teacups!"
So we went and went and went on them some more!
There is also a very similar ride in Bugsland called Ladybugs and we sure went on that too :)




 Pictures outside the Magic Castle turned into a sword fight of course.

Confetti at the Disney Junior show!

 Frozone and Mrs Incredible!



A Battle with Darth Vader!

 We made it on most rides I have to say!  Bumper cars were a favourite!
This is on the Monorail right outside our hotel.

 When we heard about this we just HAD to do it.  Your birthday button got you picked for so much stuff!!!  You were picked out of a huge crowd of kids for this!  So fun!!!

 First, there was Jedi training, then out of the floor of the stage came the big man himself and you got to swordfight with him!!!


 A Jedi training certificate!

A highlight of the trip for sure!!
