Surrounded by boys.....and Ms.B

Welcome to my blog. I've called it 'A House of Hawes' as I am completely surrounded by Hawes' people, a scary (albeit fun) thought at times. Even the dogs have that last name registered. We've decided to go the blog route instead of our website so we can keep things updated easier as the 'Will and Nate' story continues....what a story it's turning out to be!

Shuswap Part 1

Some pics from our adventure where the weather was perfect, naps were pointless (according to the boys) and bedtime was missed nightly......despite the sleep deprivation, we had a blast and plan to return next year.

The boys were unsure of their new 'home', one guaranteed place to sleep was on Daddy!

Road Trip!

We went all the way to beautiful Scotch Creek which is located in the Shuswap lakes area of BC. It was our first 'family' vacation and we had a fabulous time. Getting there was a long haul with lots of construction through the mountains. So, there were several stops along the way to give the boys a break. It took us 9 hours to get there but we made it!
