He's WALKING!

So Elliott took his first steps yesterday. He seems really determined to walk, so I'm sure it won't be long before he's running!

I finally caught him on video this morning. The first one is sideways and I can't figure out how to rotate it, and the second one is the right way, but it's not as good! Tracey, if you know how to rotate the videos, can you let me know?

Soccer

Mom: Naomi you're first soccer game is tonight. Are you excited?
Naomi: I'm so excited. I think I'll even get a GOAL-IN-ONE!

She has had about 6 games so far and seems to really enjoy it. She even got a goal at her last game... unfortunately it was in her own net, but that doesn't really matter right?!? She's having fun.

Amelia

I just found this picture on my camera. Amelia had dressed herself this day and started helping me with housework. I couldn't let the photo opportunity pass! She's hilarious.

Amelia's Birthday

Amelia turned 3 on Saturday and we had a few friends over for her BBQ party. It was such a beautiful day. She was pretty impressed with her Cinderella Birthday cake!





Elliott was a pretty happy boy on the bouncer.



Wearing her birthday sunglasses...with her ever so charming pout on!



Naomi thinks it was pretty good party!

Funny Amelia!

So the other night we were all sitting at the table and Kevin was using the word "snappy" to describe the texture of the Quinoa that I had made ("This quinoa salad is really snappy"). I didn't feel that was the best description of the texture, so I used the word "pop-y" ("no, the quinoa is really pop-y"). So he looks at me and makes a face and said he was going to get the THESAURUS to see if snappy and pop-y even mean the same thing.... SO Amelia belts out at the top of her lungs

"I want to go see the 'THE-SAURUS' too!"

(she thought he was going to get a dinosaur called a "The-saurus"). We've recently been to the dinosaur museum in Drumheller and they have talked about going back non-stop since we've been home.

Anyway, made us all laugh pretty hard!
