Spring Cottage Project – Outdoor Kitchen with Pergola

Ever since meeting my husband, I knew he had talent.

One of those awesome talents is working with wood.

He can build some pretty spectacular structures!

It was a work weekend at the cottage, well many weekends are actually, being a part of a family cottage means putting forth work for the upkeep of it.

Ah we don’t mind, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to use this cottage, now in the 4th generation with our kids!!!

The men put their heads together at the cottage and this is the design that came out of it. Although hubs was not “allowed” to add his detail to the pergola that he thought would be the final touch, it looks outstanding!!! Still have some finishing touches and landscaping around the structure. The BBQ is completely built into the stone! Cool eh.

This was accomplished all in one long weekend!!!

Canada Geese & Their Babies!

Its not very often we have spring babies on the lake, I was very fortunate to be able to capture these proud parents with their wee ducklings.

Spring family love on the water

I had the pleasure of meeting this gorgeous family! They were quite photogenic although not allowing me to get too close to them, the parents were quite happy to swim close to shore to capture this young spring beautiful family!

Happy May 2-4!!!

Hope all my photography friends are enjoying this amazing weather to get out and photograph! Of course as well as everyone enjoying this fabulous weekend with family and friends!!! We sure are 🙂

Apple blossoms

I LOVE when the trees and flowers are in bloom. I am THRILLED that the two apple trees we have are in bloom! 🙂

Mothers Day magic moments… family!

I really do love any holiday because it means getting together with family. With the wonderful weather we were having… :/ I didn’t take as many photos, however I did make a point to get some with my Littles, they change so much every year. I am so thankful we spent Mothers Day not only with Mom, but also my Grama and Grandma, and one of my aunts, of course with dad, my sister and brother as well. Unbelievable that last weekend I got burnt,,, this weekend for Mothers Day – snow… Gross!

Mothers Day | My boy

A very quick capture that I fell in love with. My boy, such a great personality similarities his sister, yet both very different 🙂 Love.

Mothers Day | My girl

I captured this photo of my girl the other day. Split seconds they stop, I snap, certainly helps improve my focus and aim 😉 I love her, she is a week mini-me!

Happy Mothers Day… Moms, Gramas and Aunts!

Each and every year I feel more and more blessed. Our two children, literally miracles to us, especially for me as their mama! Having children has certainly given me an amazing appreciation for my own mom and my mother in law, watching us from above.

Happy Mothers Day wishes for mom who is amazing not only to us, but also our kids. For being such a great role model and reassurance when I feel I’m not doing a good mommy job. To my two gramas who are also awesome role models and amazing great-gramas to our kids. To my sister who is not a mom, yet, but is an amazing aunt to our kids and very much a part of their life, they are so lucky to have you! To our aunts, you all mean so much! To a woman who is my second mother, you mean the world to my entire family.

To my husband for choosing me to be the mother of his children, thank you. Your mom did an awesome job raising you to he the husband and dad you are. I know she is smiling down on us.

My own little rug rats you are my world. Everything about you, you are the best parts of me and your dad. Even though I have days more frustrating than others, you both try very hard to get me to crack a smile, I love you both so much, so much you each will not truly appreciate until you become parents yourselves, when your 30 😉

Cake decorating with my babe’s yesterday!
