Heart Babies

On Saturday we took the kids to the Olympic Oval to go ice skating. It was all for a good cause. My cousin had her little boy pass away in August due to a Congenital Heart Defect (we was one month older than Lily, it breaks my heart) So my cousins were doing a fundraiser for CHD.It was a good thing we were going for the fundraiser, because Tyson was not a big fan of ice skating. Brandon and I can't blame him. It is not our cup of tea either!
They have these great little walkers to help the first timers! Tyson thought it was OK until the first time he fell on his bum!


He thought the ice skates were pretty darn cool!

Our cute little fam!
We didn't have Lily try to ice skate, but she wanted to really bad, so before we got off the ice I let her try it with her shoes on. She thought it was awesome!
The other part of the fundraiser was this slide, food and a silent auction. Tyson made friends with anyone who was standing next to him on the slide. For awhile his buddy was a cute little 8yr old girl, then any random kid that would talk to him! He is such a friendly kid! He spent a good half our straight on this slide!
Lily thought it looked pretty fun too, so I carried her up and we went down together. She couldn't get enough of it! It was great exercise for me. It was a pretty steep climb to the top on an uneven surface carrying 24lbs in one arm!
Again and Again!
Ange came with us too! (She was the great photographer of all these pictures except this one!)
Ange and cute Grandma Spencer!
Lily getting cotton candy for the first time! Aunt Tony kept giving us more and more treats for Lily and Tyson to eat! They had enough sugar to kill them! They loved it!

Tyson getting not 1, but 2 bags of popcorn from Aunt Jeanne!
It looked like it was a great turn out for a great cause! We had a fun time!

After the fundraiser we went to my Mom's house to celebrate Ange's birthday!
The boys and kids outside looking at the mole or gofer holes in my Mom's yard. Laine tried to set up some traps to catch them. When they didn't work Laine and Ryan tried to flood them out!
Ange and Kaylee cooking the Tempura!
Lily wouldn't let me help with any of the cooking. She would scream if I wasn't touching her or more than 1 foot away from her!

Chesney and Tyson putting together Gorbachev.

Happy Birthday Ange! Great food and Great company always fun!
