I flew home with the kids on April 19th. My mom met us in Toronto..... becaudse of the lengthy flight from Toronto to Saskatoon I knew I would be in need of some help! They were excellent kids and enjoy flying, when the plane started to take off Bella was yelling "Weeee"!
6 months old and just so much fun! Brax loves to play, play, play! He loves going in his jolly jumper and his walker. He started out walking backwards in it and now he can go both ways. He has also started sleeping completely through the night...from 9pm - 8 am...yes 11 hours! He has picked up a great habit from his sister as she has always been a good sleeper.
Brax loves to jolly jump
Someone is helping mom with the laundry!
Brax playing on his activity mat, he loves to bat around the rattles
Brax like his puppy that Papa and Mami gave him.....so does his sister as she sleeps with the puppy at bedtime!

Yes, I finally did it....I turned 30! Although, we were not supposed to go out for my birthday as that was the whole reason for the Vegas trip.....we had tons of fun this night! 
This was the first of many shooters that night!

On April 3 we had The Royal's Fan choice Awards Banquet....It was neat! Jason was nominated for two awards and came home with one....the ironman award. 
Easter came and brought tons of great stuff for the kids.....Bella had fun on her Easter egg hunt but was a little upset with me when I had to take all of the chocolate away....she was popping chocolate easter eggs in her mouth without removing the tinfoil wrapping
Even though Brax would love to dive into all of the chocolate,
Bella got chocolate, chocolate, chocolate....a few bunnys and of course her favorite accessories.....a new hat and matching handbag!
My cousin Blair was in Detroit and decided to lengthen his trip by coming to visit with us in Reading. I'm quite sure he expected to see a few more hockey games but he did get in some sight-seeing and a few ball games as well.
As you can see from the pictures, my kids both adored Blair! He adored them back with the exception of Bella jumping all over him at 9 am!!
The Liberty Bell....."The world's symbol of Freedom"
Independence Hall...the Pennsylvania State House, was restored in 1830 and again in 1950. Today, it more closely resembles its original 1776 appearance, 
At Pat's King of Steaks....the birthplace of the Philadelphia ("Philly") cheesesteak
Bella enjoying her chippies, Blair trying out the cheesesteak
After the kids were fed, mom managed to stuff her face with a cheesesteak... 
This was my favorite place! It is so awesome...words cannot describe it as it is a must-see! 
" The world's most famous arena"
Another one of my favorites....although still a little brown
At ground zero there is nothing to see....it is fenced off and basically they are rebuilding what will be there in the future. In my opinion, the fencing off felt appropriate...while as a tourist I felt a little guilty peaking through the fence anyway. There is still a crane that holds the american flag in the middle of the construction.
My cousin Blair was in heaven the whole time we were here as he is a BIG yankee's fan! I moved up to the top of the cousin list after we made the trip here.
Easter day line-up
Yankee Memorial
We didn't end up going to the top as the visibility was zero and the outside deck was closed....but it is still amazing to see from the outside and the bottom.
