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!

It's been ages!

Okay so it's been a while since blogging. Seriously I just don't know where to fit in the time. Anyway, we are all well, well sort of. We've all had some sort of this cold over the last few weeks. It still keeps Amelia and Naomi up coughing most nights. Oh, if I could just get 3 nights of full sleep in a row, I think I'd almost feel normal again.

Here's the kids christmas photo. It's a little old, but I haven't put new photos on the computer yet.

SO MAD!

Okay, what's a good way to break the tension at the supper table when mom is SOOOO MAD that vein in my head is about to burst? Have your 2 year old take off her fairy princess dress down to her waist and yell at the top of her lungs "EVERYBODY LOOK AT MY BELLYBUTTON!". Really there isn't a way to NOT laugh at that.
