What a "Little" Skater!!!!!!!!

Posing!

More skating.

Look at me go!

Nice balance.

Gearing up.

Here is a video of Cameron skating.

Two weeks ago I took Cameron and Colten to the skate park. We go when all the teens are asleep or in school. He is getting quite good I would say. Colten loves sliding down the ramps and riding on his belly. Cameron tried a big ramp and did really good but got a good elbow burn from the concrete afterwards. I told him getting hurt just means you're doing it right and that all the pros have gotten lots of bumps and bruises along the way. He thought he was pretty cool after that.

My Big Tiger!!!!!

Colten enjoying the show.
Here come the Tigers!!

Circus fun!

What a nice looking Tiger!

Okay Mom enough already!

Here is a little video of Cam the Tiger!

Well June 3rd was Cameron's last backyard circus with Sparkleberry's. He luckily made it after being very sick the past few days. It is hard to believe he is 6. I know he is definitely ready for kindergarten in the fall. He has grown so much the past year it is amazing. We are so proud of him!!!! Next Colten will be at Sparkleberry's. Seriously, they are the best preschool teachers in the world. They are so kind and loving and helpful. They bend over backwards at there job I am so grateful to them. Good job Cam and thank you Sparkleberry's!!!!!!!!!

BBQ!!!!!!!!

I know I know put on a helmet and shoes!!!
Wheeeee!

Lets race!

Water in the face!

Sooo much fun!

The weekend after Cam's birthday Dave's buddy Nai from high school came to hang with us and BBQ! He brought his son Kian, who is the biggest sweety. The boys adored him. We got out Cam's new slip n slide. And, not to mention we ate a lot of good food!! It was a fun weekend.

The water table is fun. You can make and obstacle course for the toys.

Testing out the new board.

More water fun.

Having a blast!!

Well I can hardly believe he is 6 already. We decided this year we weren't going to do big parties, just go some where fun as a family. Our best friend Sam and her son Dominic came to celebrate with us. It was so nice having them here. We went to the Hands on Museum. The kids loved it. He said thank you to me about 4 times for the best birthday. It melted my heart. He also said he is so lucky for all that he has. What a good kid he is. Happy Birthday Cameron!!! We are so proud of you and love you so much!!!!!

The Fragility of Life

An infectious smile and laugh.

Yesterday I received some terribly tragic news that my beloved Uncle Mark had taken his life. He was only 45 and it seems quite surreal. In times like these it reminds us to let the people we love and care about know just how much we love them. Life is so precious and also fragile. He was a really great guy. I have so many wonderful memories of him. He was there for every family occasion. At the family weddings he was always one of the first ones to get us out on the dance floor. I can still hear him say "Hey Sheree bop". That was how he greeted me every time I saw him. I remember our cat, Emerald, would hide all of the time but for some reason when he was at our house she would always come to him. It's hard to believe he is gone. My heart really goes to my Grandma who is 92. She has witnessed a lot of tragedy in her life and nothing is more tragic than losing a child, especially in situations like these. Not to mention all of the siblings, nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews he leaves behind too. It's just heartbreaking to know that at that moment he felt that alone. It truly breaks my heart. Remember to let the people in your life know how much you love them because you truly never know what tomorrow brings. Rest in peace Mark for you are among the angels now. I love you and will miss you very much.

Oh Boy Oh Boy!!!! Little Kai David Durbin

This pic shows it's a boy!!

Oh how I love profile pics!!!!

Well as most of you know we are having another boy. Honestly I couldn't be happier. I have seen how crazy life can be. What mattered to me most at the ultra sound was the tech telling me he was good and healthy. I wouldn't trade our boys for the world and I am sure little Kai will give us as much joy as the other 3 have.
