MOMMY'S LITTLE HELPER...

First time with the beaters and the wooden spoon and LOVED IT!!!! "NUMMY"as he likes to say :)

BIRTHDAY BOYS...

Well the Ward boys celebrated another year!!! Declan on the 9th and Andrew on the 12th. Declan fell asleep at Randy & Marilyn's just before dinner but then was up and at 'em for the scrumptious Waldorf Astoria A.K.A Red Velvet cake that is Andrew's favorite :) Hard to believe our little man is 2, time flies and before we know it #2 will be here, only 9 weeks to go and counting!!!

BUNDLED UP...

Well Old Man winter hit Calgary this past week... -25 with the wind chill and lots of snow!!! Declan wasn't quite sure what to think of the "mess" as he was called calling it. He has now started to call the snow... nose... go figure :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN...

Declan and his buddy Jace chowing down on some yummy Halloween cupcakes :)

Declan went as a bug this year. Him and Andrew made the round of the cul-de-sac and the little bug was a hit with all of our neighbours! He did great, walked almost the whole way and carried his little Frankenstein pail full of goodies :) When he got home, he was really getting the hang of this candy thing and started loading up his pail with all of the goodies we were handing out... so funny! Hope that everyone had a fun Halloween!

MORE PICS IN THE PARK...

MONKEY IN THE TREES...

Mom & I took Declan down to the park again this morning for another impromtu photo shoot... he loved being in the trees!

BMW BEFORE DADDY...

Our neighbour was out with her little girl who was driving this BMW... well Declan got sooo excited when he saw the car and couldn't wait to take it for a spin :) Lookin' good little man!!!

FALL PHOTO SHOOT...

My girlfriend Jen & I took the kids for the annual fall photo shoot @ Confederation Park, Deacon didn't make it this year, Jen's oldest, as he started pre-school this year, but Declan & Harper had a blast playing in all the leaves!

LET'S EAT...

Just a little montage of Declan chowing down :)

BABY WARD...

Well, we had my 19 weeks ultrasound today and looks like Declan will have a little brother to play with! He is doing well, very busy, the ultrasound took over an hour as he was moving around alot. Looks like this little one like to suck his thumb :)

CORPORATE CHALLENGE...

DSS is part of a yearly event here in town called Corporate Challenge. This was family day and Andrew was part of the tug-o-war. The team actually was pulling and semi truck with a flatbed trailer attached, Declan loved watching the "gucks" and cheering on dad.

BIG BOY BED...

Asleep in his big boy bed, he has to have all his buddies in there with him too :) I put them all away one night before he fell asleep ( just on the floor beside his bed ), he crawled out, went and got them and then crawled back in and went to sleep... so cute and he loves his bed!

MARKER MELTDOWN PART 2...

Since the first picture was such a hit, I decided to put up the other one that I took that day as well... ENJOY!

MARKER MELTDOWN...

After a creative afternoon of drawing, someone was having a creative block and not happy about it at all! Thank godness for washable "mawkies" as Declan calls them :)
