Safari and Spencer Smith Park!

Edited to add Grandpa's pictures!

Auntie S. joined T. and I at Safari. It was so much fun! Here we are about to leave on the train! T. is now big enough to go in the 'big kid waterpark'. He was SO happy and excited. He really feels like a big boy now!

After Safari we picked up G. from camp, and went to Spencer Smith park so the boys could try out their new remote controlled boats from their birthdays!

T. had a blast at the splash pad. It was cold! I can't believe how long he played in there!

Pretty sure neither of his feet are on the ground. Notice the lake in the background. So nice.

One happy 8 year old making his boat go!

Another great summer day!

The boys' family party: 2010

P. outdid himself. And it shows. And it was a lot of work. But boy was it worth it to see the boys' faces. He added a little touch for Grandpa too!

As you can tell, our boys love Super Mario!

All 3 of them blowing out the candles.

Buzz and Woody!!! Birthday presents that were immediately put to use! Coolest laser gun EVER!

Oh please say 3.9 forever! You are just too cute!!!!!

Sheriff Woody!

I love this set of photos. The sun, the little boy and his aunt playing.

Grandma - such a nice picture

A new Zurg. Very exciting. Very cool.

Ironman that flies up into the sky after you pump it full of air. Also very cool.

I love this picture.

Grandma and Grandpa bought the boys remote controlled boats to use at the Spencer Smith Park boat area. They are going to have so much fun!

All the way from Calgary...Woody's hat!

Relaxing evening

Lots of balloons, 'you can never have too many balloons' P. said

Thank you family for coming to the super fun party. We have two very lucky boys who are very loved! It was a great evening!

G. turns 8!

Somehow this... Has grown into this...

Snuggie! He has wanted one for so long!

Iron Man accessories!

Cake time!

It's been a great day. We had a big breakfast, saw Despicable Me and had hotdogs, pizza and chips for supper! I still cannot believe it's been 8 years since we met this amazing boy.

Happy 8th Birthday Gabriel! We are so proud of you and love you!
