Halloween Woody, Jessi and Barbie

Woody and Jessi, tyler is not one for single photos

The gang

barbie who kept getting called hannah montana at the party

Eliza was Jessi in Alicias costume from when she was 2. I didnt have as much time as i had back when alicia was 2, so we went for the red wig instead of making it with yarn.

games at the party...jessi kept losing her wig

Tylers olympathon

Tyler and his girlfriend Reagan (and little sis)

Tyler had his olympathon at pre-school it was a fun afternoon and her just loved having his mum and sister come to watch him. Tyler is such a cute giggly kid. Every event he would just giggle all the way to the finish line he was just having so much fun....no competitive anderson in him yet.

Alicias Birthday

Pics arent the best quality my camera ran out of batteries so the phone is all we had.

Makeup

hans keeping up with the heavy heavy hangover birthday tradition.

the next day alciias brithday kept going as she recieved a package from nema and tepa and cousins and loved everybit of it.....

I know its a late post but we didnt want to forget our cute 7 yr old and her make up lovin Birthday. Alicia was spoilt with presents and hugs and kisses and phonecalls. She had a great day .

Super Kid Alicia

Alicia with her teacher.

Alicia got the award for Superkid of the month at school for her class. She was so excited as soon as she walked in the door after school...she said big smile on her face "Im a asuperkid mUM" So i guess that means she has been good all month and had good manners. I went to lecys school aassembly when she got her award and also for her classes item. It was a good day "Good Job lecy we love you"Alicias class after their item.

Alicia and Elizas room

There was not too much to change about this room except for alicias desk had to go ...it is now in the Man cave (garage) which i guess makes it not a man cave anymore without you boyd...hans haas been invaded by a pink desk and lecy. So after the desk was out i emptied the bookshelf out from nearthe kitchen amd moved it into the girls room. I also put stickers on the wall ...only to find out the next day we will be moving...oh well hopefully they will work at our next place. It has been good having the girls together not as much fighting as when tyler and lecy shared. Also it is kept alot cleaner . Not saying tyler was the messy one....it just needed some order and de- cluttering, it still needs more on the walls or something but that will haev to wait for now. Alicia and Eliza are happy so thats good.

There is even enough floor space now for a game of Uno with dad....he is such a good dad.

yes eliza is wearing the apron you made aunt roxy, if mum is in thekitchen cooking with her apron ....eliza thinks she has to too and then doesnt want to take it off all afternoon.

Tylers boy room...at last no more pink for him

So it has been so long since i posted a blog i know, and now i have all my photos off the camera i am just overwhelmed how much i need to blog about. So be patient and little by little i wll post our years events ...so about christmas next year i should be up to date.

Anyways after boyd and stephanie sadly had to go back home after visiting us , tyler got his own room which we had to transform from Elizas pink and girly room to a boys room. This is what we came up with , he couldnt decide what theme he wanted either star wars or superheroes or toy story. So this is what we did. Nothing is on the wall because we are moving soon. The most important thing is tyler loves his room. It has pics of all his family he loves except his cousins in Minnesota so if anyone wants to email me a pic of all the cousins together that would be great .

8 yrs ago

I know i havent blogged for a long long time , i cant find my camera cord anywhere and well in the school holidays you dont get too much time to sit on the computer really. I do have a full memory card in my camera i need to blog and journal about soon.

Anyways we were cleaning out the garage and going through boxes and we came across this picture of me and Hans july 8 years ago.

 When we saw it we just looked at each other laughed and said "What happen" look how young we are and how  diffferent we look"..

 We have just GROWN ...grown UP well definetly not taller but matured because we had to, with what life throws you  , grown OUT since ummm..... well no excuse there i discovered baking and we got lazy :) we are working on that again now though, well i am on ww week 5 : 8 pounds lost and many more to go ! now hans just needs to give up his sweet tooth :)

 Also as soppy as it is we have grown more in love. A very different kind of love still best friends now with 3 beautiful ,pretty funny and sometimes pretty naughty  kids and alot more to figure out in life then just a wedding and wedding inviations as in that picture. 

 "Live and Learn " has become the theme of these last few years. Who knows what the next 8 will bring us or where it will take us. we had no idea back then of the joy,heartaches, trials and blessings that were going to come our lives.  

Well those 3 kids we have now are begging for my attention ,so heres to the next 8 years and what will happpen to us next Hans and heres to us looking like that again hahahaha.

love you
