Did you hear?

I'm 5 now.  All I wanted was a "fancy" meal at White Spot - no cake, just my OWN strawberry milkshake.  I am celebrating over a few weeks (in true Paton style) so there will be more photos soon- stay tuned!

Cute?

Baby, I was born this way.

Happy Halloween.

Sending spooky love to you all.

Having a hoot.

Making hoot owl cookies.

Something Fishy

Probably those two big chum salmon behind me.

Happy Girl

She can't dodge the camera everytime.....

Close up cuddles

I'll save myself

Call me Knight Sadie

I even battled Batman!

 

DDDDAAAAAAADDDDDYYYYYY!

Pumpkin Patch

The girls picking their pumpkins

Niamh, tell us how you really feel.

Sadie soaking in the sunshine.

Frolicking at the falls

It wouldn't be a trip to Squamish without a visit to Shannon Falls.

 

Last days of summer

This beautiful weather can't last forever but we will enjoy it while it lasts!!

 

 

It's official!

I am a goofball.

It's official!

I am all grown up.

You make me MAD!

What I did this summer- by Sadie

I went tubing, I went to the PNE, and I checked out my new school playground.

Such a lady.

By the look on our faces.....

We might not quite be ready for Disneyland.

"Twinkle Toes"...

and "Stompy Feet". Guess who's who!

Fish Beware

Master Fisher Sadie on duty!

Giving us grays

This one is going to be trouble.

Sea Turtles is so last week.

Sea Otters here I come!!

Lolly, lolly, lollipop.

We love lolly's (even though these are only the 2nd ones we've ever really had). Mom and Dad were trying to buy our love after leaving us for two nights. It worked. We were only allowed to lick them for about 10 minutes (boo), then we had to brush our teeth (double boo). Still TOTALLY WORTH IT.

Tick Tock

Look at that.....Mom, I think it's time to go. ( Am I the only one that can see the bear behind me??? (Well, I know Sam sees him)).

Niamh and the bunny

Niamh and her pal, Albert were (force) feeding Fudge, the bunny. Fudge decided that Niamhs finger looked more tasty than the carrot. She is no longer a fan of bunnies.

Oh Canada, Go Canada!!

It's not a box- Part II

First we paint. Then we play.

Who's that girl?

It's Sadie! And she is getting wet on purpose! No, the world is not ending, she has finally discovered that sprinklers are awesome fun.

The Cretaceous

68 million years ago there was a dinosaur dance party......

Really Mom?

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

We had breakfast with Mickey, Minnie and Goofy at the Aulani Disney Resort. I liked them, Niamh was not so sure.....
