summer is finally here

So here we are on the first day of summer holidays, and yes no daycare kids until Wednesday. We have just hung around the house mowed the grass and then went for a swim in the pool. Then the kids wanted Slurpee's so we went and got some of those, Alina has lost her two front teeth so had ten dollars burning a hole in her pocket that she just had to spend, so went to the zellers and went to the toy section and she bought herself a bratz baby and animal toy thing. I will never understand the need to have something just to have something. I kept telling her if she saved it she could buy something bigger later, but that seems to far away for her. Tonight James is going to start building the boys bedroom in the basement.Greg is growing up to fast for me and want to have his own space which I understand. Spencer we move down there with him but no more bunk beds. The room is quite large so they will each have half a room to themselves. James and I leave for his brothers wedding on the weekend but it will be nice to have alone time with each other as we drive to Regina and back, then daycare will start back up until the end of July and then I booked the month of August off so holiday here we come it's not to far away. I have put myself back on a exercise and diet to lose the weight that has been bugging me as well as the ten pounds I put on well sending Angela off to start her new life in Alberta. I guess that is all for now ttfn

Missing the Courts already!!!!

Make a Smilebox slideshow

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our best friends as they move to lethbridge, I don't know what I would have done without her helping me these past years. Goodluck in the new job and new house, (that part I am super excited about for you) I just can't see winnipeg ever being the same with out your family here celebrating EVERYTHING with us. WE LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

Happy Fathers Day

 
What would today be if I did not take this opportunity and let dads in my life know how much I love them. First to my dad who has showen me so much love and understanding. It has not mattered if I was calling him to come pick me up from lethbridge or falcon lake he came. When I needed to cry on someone shoulder, if I need to just let things be said he would be there for me. Many of you have seen the quiet giant that I have had in my life, he truly is a man that takes care of my mom does so without ever asking for someone to liten his load. He is a man that showed me that a amn must be half as good as him to be married to.
Lucky for me I found James. He is an amazing father husband and friend. I really don't think that I can say enough to show the world just how great he is. He loves his father in heaven and does all that he can to build and help ouir family have an eternal goals. He is by far the most gentle and lovig father, he rules with his heart and never his fist. He has a gentle manner in talking things trough with our kids they always know how he feels but never quetion where they fit in his life, they know that they are at the top. What would we do with out these men in our lifes? I love the comfort, stength that we have in knowing that we are together forever as a family. Thanks to James and my dad for all that you do in my life and in the lives of my children we are better people because of you!!!

Alina's dance rectial

 
It has been awhile since I've blogged and so much is happening I will try to share a bit over the next few days. First her is Alina at her dance recital this year. It was at the end of may so you can see how far back I need to go. Anyway she was in a ballet tap combo class. She really enjoyed it all the way until rectial and then didn't want to do tap. She was not trilled with the costumes she thought they should fairy princess type. So yes we have decided that maybe she will stick in ballet we are trying jazz this coming year aswell. All in all I think she is an amazing little dancer. She always talks about how she is scared and shy but put her up on stage and I can't believe that it is my daughter up there. Way to go girl you make your mother proud.

Farm Trip Anyone

 
 
 
 
On monday morning Spencer and I headed to the farm with his pre-school class for the last fun outing of the year. What a blast, however I am not a farm girl,I like the city!!! We got to hold baby chicks( well I did Spence would'nt ) and of course it took me quite a while to get up the nerve to hold the dare thing. Then we got to hold kittens, puppies pet sheep goats go for pony ride(but not Spence) do you see a trend here Spencer is not a little farm boy either!!!! However when it was time to milk the goat guess who couldn't wait to touch that? If you guessed me your WRONG!!! We went on the coldest day of the week but I kept saying to everyone it helps keep the smell down. We went for a wagon ride fed the cows ate out in the open air froze my hindy bindy off but had a great time. Now I have just one more farm trip with Janelle in a couple years... But really who doesn't like a trip to the farm?

Course Two

 

 

This is my final cake in course two, I am not a flower person but really like the primroses and roses. It was a fun class this time around there was only five of us so we got alot of teacher one on one. It's nice to have some one there correcting any bad habits from forming. I am sad to say that for the summer I will be taking time off so no more cakes or icing in my house for a bit. As a side note in this class we had to make different flowers each week and then put them on our cake in the last class along with learning the basket weave.

 

 

 

 

I also got to go be the helper for folk dancing in the park with Geg's school. It was so much fun and the kids looked so cute out there. They learn all the dances during music time in school and then over a three day period about 12 schools a day do and do the dances in the park. Our day was today, the boys didn't really like dancing with the girls but over all they had a blast. Yes they even got me out there to dance with them., Since I coach seven little boys from Greg's class at soccer they thought it would be fun to have Coach Gregory's mom out there dancing well they all sat laughing at me. It was super fun and I even knew a couple of dances so I was able to shock the boys. Greg's teacher loved that I was there for the boys so she could help the girls. The only bad part about the day was that the girls washroom ran out of toliet paper super gross I kept telling the girls I was so sorry but what do you do?
