Hot Hot Hot

What a warm summer it has been!

We have been insanely busy and because of this the time has flown by, we are always on the go, and our house could use a big tidy and scrub. Although we are behind on a lot of things, we are ahead in love.  This month has been full of it.  Family and friends have gathered on multiple occasions for birthday celebrations, pool parties, bridal showers, and backyard BBQ's. Our life is full, and oh so much fun! 

Kiptyn's cousin Faith is such a little Mama.  She is always watching out and taking care of him.

In mid-July we had our BIG BIRTHDAY BASH.  My online Mommy group (68 women who came together when we first learned we were pregnant and due in July or August of last year), planned a BIG 1st Birthday Party for our babies.  Since some of the ladies are in different provinces not everyone was able to come...although one flew in from out West!  

Cupcake smash!!!

Kiptyn and Lily, opening their gifts together....lovebirds.

 

Babies, babies, everywhere!

In total we had 30 babies and all of their parents and siblings.  Here are just the Mamas and Babies.  What fun!

After the excitement of the birthday party, our little man came down with an illness.  In fact about 5 babies and some Mommies and Daddies from the party also came down with something.  Although everyone's symptoms were different, it seemed to stay with most of the babies for a LONG time.  It took nearly three weeks before Kiptyn was fully back to himself.  

We are still hooked on the stacker game....this is truly one of those toys that is timeless. 

Kiptyn has now mastered throwing a ball.  When Abby was over, it kept them BOTH busy!

We also attended Lily's first birthday party.  We have about 7 of these this summer, so almost every weekend is full of cake, presents and friends.

It was a hot day but all of the babies played together in the shade.

My little poser

 

Lily and her cake!

And then there were some days that we hung out in pj's until noon before having to get ready to head out again...here is Kiptyn doing a demonstration of what Mama looked like when Daddy pushed her home from the neighbour's house one night...LOL.

Kippy Boo with his two favourite things...Scout and his shoes.

I have a backed up computer with many many pictures to post, and an iPhone that needs to be emptied.  Having a sick baby, and then being without internet for a week really set me back.  With that said, summer is a time for relaxation, and I am not going to let it get to me!

Another big birthday party post on its way!

Happy Summer!
