My Hazel is 6 and Azlan likes hockey...

My little one,

I already love you so much ! I am 21 1/2 weeks pregnant. Already past the halfway mark. I want you to know that I have and always will love you with all I have. I also want you to know that you are a unique and wonderful Child of God and you have been sent here to Earth to me, daddy and Ty. We all truely love you little one. In about 12 more weeks I am going to find out if you are a girl or a boy. I feel that you are a girl! Either way I will love you more than life itself.

Love your mommy

and now she is 6 and steals my camera to snap pics of the neighbourhood gals!

Rylie with little Emma- who has a twin named Benny! and their mum is my bestie and my neighbour

When I was preggers with Rylie I went to visit my grandpa who was dieing, I knew it was the last time I would see him, and I wanted to name her after him. We decided on Hazel Alwyn, however my husband at the time said NO to Hazel :( Luckily Heavenly Father was listening and he gave her the most beautiful Hazel hair and eyes!

Loving the horses she received for her birthday and the oh so chique hat auntie kimme got her :)

Rylie with the barn cake I made for Rylie! I love that my kids think my near disaster cakes are awesome!

The stable, Appaloosa and Palamino

The whole shebang, including the Black Stallion and the white horse which I am not sure of its breed.

I need cake lessons! My vision never seems to turn out as well as anticipated.

The cake in all its grandeur

Cutest party guest... Mr. Lennox:) and Noni checking out his cousin

Azlan likes to chill.... the hockey net

I love this muchkin so very much

How could you not love this face?.... Exactly... You love her too!

Happy Birthday Rylie Dawn Alwyn

You will always be my Hazel...

When Rylie entered K her ''lmnop's' were a little hard to say and she looked this cute trying

ICE SKATING LESSONS!

LITERACY AND SORTING

HEALTH A MUNGUS

HALLOWEEN/FALL
FESTIVITIES

MAKING APPLE SAUCE WITH MRS. KANT(but the kids call her mrs. CAN)

CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION

If my twins are lucky enough to have Ms. Williams as their K teacher I will feel blessed. She has been great to both #1 and #2 children! Rylie has grown so much this year and I am thankful for the great pics her teacher sent home of the year so I could share them with yall.

Jasmine S., Rylie, Annika, Jasmine M., April

Rylies Kindergarten class in front of tons of other K's. It is nice having 2 weeks off school because I can participate more with the kids school activities, it has been lovely.

I remember some of my field trips when I was her age and I hope she remembers the fun she had today :)

It was such a super cool activity that the instructors dressed even cooler!

Lots of love in this class, group hug after group hug

This is my favourite pic! Rylie and Alex.... Rylie wants to marry Alex so she can make sure people are always kind to him. I am grateful for her kind heart and how she doesn't seem to see differences and how she has an extra place in her heart for 'special' children.

RYLIE DAWN ALWYN

Rylie: Courageous

Dawn: First breaking light

Alwyn: Friend of the elves

Rylie is courageous and will try anything!

Memory lane... Rylie was such a cute cheek grabbable little munchkin

She was content and adorable

Not even two weeks old, little miss Rylie was such a doll. A few months later our lives changed forever and it was just Ty, Rylie and myself, oh how things have changed.

Rylie is a joy to have as a daughter, she is always smiling and is the most loving person I know.

Forever using decorations as fashion accessories!

Rylie loves her cousin Cassius! They were Joseph and Mary on Christmas Eve

Rylie was named after myself (Dawn) and my grandfather(Alwyn). It is amazing to me how what we name our children either was meant to be or they become the meanings of their names:) I am gunna go with it was meant to be. Rylie has loved all things fairies and elves and how appropriate that her name Alwyn means just that. She is going through a phase right now where she wants to know if things are 'real'. She asked me if fairies were real and I said well what do you think, she said 'I believe they are' and I responded with 'well then they are real'.

Rylie is a light in our family and I am blessed to be her mum, I cant wait to watch her grow and develop her talents. Rylies teacher has approached me numerous times to tell me how kind and loving Rylie is to all the special needs children in the class. When I asked Rylie why she was so kind to one of the children in particular she said 'I love him and want to protect him'. As a mother it is such a wonderful feeling to see your children love other people no matter their challenges. The little boy has FASD and Autism and Rylie sees him as another little child that needs a friend rather than the challenges that others see he has.

I love these two munchkins and I am so proud of them! Rylie wants to be a model:) no surprise there if you know her! She is always posing and choosing outfits for pictures, so I called up Darcy and she took some shots! There are more to come but I had to post these, they are just too cute! I am looking forward to lots of posts this weekend! Stay tuned for Rylies decision to marry Jack Sparrow or Justin Bieber, Todd and I's second wedding anniversary and the twins 3rd birthday!!!
