Trip to Canada's Wonderland

2012-06-02T21:29:00.001-04:00

It was a cold and somewhat rainy day but we headed off to Canada's Wonderland for OPG day. (Reminded me of when we used to go to King's Island for P&G day as kids.)

We started with a picture with Charlie Brown.

They were both pumped to see Snoopy's rainbow.

And even better when they met him!

Marc and Ryan showing us how scared they were going to be on the Ghoster Coaster.

The boys flew on planes.

Ate some quality cotton candy!

Bright pink.

Adam went on his first roller coaster too and LOVED it.

Ryan tried a ladder climbing game.

And fell right off

We got this caricature done too. The theme seemed dead on.

8 years and counting

2012-05-15T07:32:00.001-04:00

Hard to believe it was 8 years ago that Marc and I got married.

It feels like we have been together yet like the wedding was just yesterday. Yet here we are- 8 years and 2 crazy kids later.

I just like this one.

And this one just brings back memories.

Marc is a cake making genius

2012-05-14T10:50:00.001-04:00

Marc made Adam his dream cake. It was of all of his favourite things as note below.

And this is what he made.

Insane.

Congrats Papa

2012-05-13T21:43:00.001-04:00

We are so proud of my dad. He was given an honourary degree by Patten University. A very well deserved accomplishment.

Typical Dad

A nice pic of my parents. (Mom -where are your teeth?)

We love you Papa!

The chaos of the Clemente families.

Happy Easter!!!

Happy 5th Birthday Ryan!!

2012-03-04T21:43:00.001-05:00

Ryan turned 5. It is so hard to believe but he doesn't look like a little boy any more.

Smiling

Birthday movie

Birthday Dinner. He chose wings.

And inhaled his chocolate lava cake.

Marc made this amazing cake.

Including capes.

We had his party at a big play place. Adam had fun too.

Hi Mom!

Marc had fun too.

Loving his cake.

An action shot playing with spider web silly string. A favourite gift.

It went everywhere.

Including Ryan.

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Ryan is going to be an engineer

2012-02-14T21:10:00.001-05:00

Ryan out this plane together all by himself. It was 130 pieces.

A fun filled weekend

2012-02-10T03:27:00.001-05:00

Ryan went skiing for the first time and loved it!

Of course poutine after is always a hit.

Adam stayed home with me and went for a bike ride.

Happy New Year

2012-01-01T00:26:00.001-05:00

We went clubbing.

Ignore the angry Italian man in the background. ;) We all had a great time at the parade. We even gave Santa the letters from Ryan and Adam.

They ran up to Santa

They lived seeing Santa but Adam was disappointed when he didn't receive a Buzz and Woody.

Look who is riding a bike!

We went to Pingles again this year and had a great time. It is MUCH harder to get pumpkin pictures.

Superhero in Action

2011-10-04T06:57:00.001-04:00

Ryan came home from school yesterday like this. He LOVED it. Apparently a bunch of the kids made masks.

Here is the superhero using his scooter.

Action shots

Can't you just feel the wind whipping by?

We miss you Nana!

2011-10-04T06:50:00.001-04:00

We had a great time with Nana these last two weeks. Poor Ryan and Adam keep charging into the guest room looking for her to no avail.

We love the craziness.

Rainbows!

2011-10-04T06:48:00.001-04:00

Nana and I saw the most amazing rainbow The other day. The pictures below don't fully capture how brilliant the colours were. It was a full rainbow which I couldn't remember seeing before.

Birthday cakes for Marc and Anthony

2011-09-18T18:03:00.002-04:00

I didn't get a chance to make Marc a cheesecake, so a DQ cake had to suffice.

Peanut Butter cup. YUM

Apple cake by Grandma

Ha ha ha - Ryan's making an impression already. Here is an excerpt:

"We now have two Ryans in our classroom. Ryan C and Ryan S. This feels like an episode of Survivor. Ryan C. pretended he was Robin Hood this week. He chose Landon and Quinten to be one of his merry men. They made green hats to camouglage themselves in the forest."

Grandma hard at work

2011-09-11T17:53:00.001-04:00

Grandma mastered the kid's menu games.

Happy 9-10-11!!

2011-09-10T19:27:00.001-04:00

That's awesome

2011-09-07T12:08:00.001-04:00

I received this note from a mother of another kid in Ryan's class:

"I was in the classroom with my daughter this morning when Oh Canada came on. All the kids stood up for it. Ryan sang the entire song -so bloody cute. He was the only one singing. It was adorable."
