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

Tylers 4th birthday

        

Tyler was so so excited about his birthday he woke up at 4 in the morning to find his baa and then saw all the balloons on his bedroom door and said "yay its my birthday" then i dont think he really slept again because we could hear alicia and tyler talking when it only 6.00.  Then tyler comes into our room and says" quick quick you have to wake up its my birthday and i have to open my presents.

Tyler got a Transformers bike and he giggled the whole time he was opening it. 

He couldnt wait to ride it outside with his baa and his new twins hat from nema and tepa before pre-school.

That night we had a star wars party with the family and tylers sunbeam class.  It was crazy noisy as the kids were full of sugar and it was their bedtimes...but it was a fun night. 

The kids decorated with a coloring competition and they searched for Moon rocks that was the favourite i think and had fights at the table with bread stick light sabers. 

                  

Best of all tylers R2D2 cake i cant take credit for this one , we had a service auction at church and i bid and won " Make a childs birthday cake" So thanks Leo and Kendel it looked great and Tyler Loved it!!!!

We love you Tyler .

Here he is with all his pressies including the new church outfit from nema and tepa, tyler was trying it on and he said "is the hat a church hat too"  .

lecys swimming

So Thursday morning is Tylers lesson with Sophia and then Thursday night is Alicias lesson.  Hans normally takes Alicia but this time we all went to watch and Tyler had a catch up lesson to do. It was great watching, Alicia has improved alot ...she is still a little scared going underwater but is really trying.  Tyler well i though he only smiled so much when he had lessons with Sophia ...but i found out he just smiles and laughs when he is in the water with anyone. 

swimming lessons

Tyler and sophia are loving swimming lessons now 




 

aand are so so funny to watch. They are 

goofs in the water together singing and kicking away like they are on vacation.  Always smiling ,they go underwater and come up smling....except if they swallow some water...then they cough abit and then smile again.  They have a great teacher too. 

Dr Eliza

Eliza has been sick this last week with Bronchitis and had another one of her convulsions.  She is such a cheery trooper when she is sick... We have no trouble with her

 

taking her medicine and ventalin.

 

I saw her playing doctors , she had her ventalin and doctors kit and she was playing "your turn baby and my turn". Good multi tasker too feeding baby bottle and using ventalin on babys head:)

Grandpa put the sparkle back in Alicias eyes

Alicia had worked so so hard to earn enough points to buy a zhu zhu pet and she loved her new toy and played all weekend with it.

Well monday came and she wanted to take it to school , we kind of warned her that if she did it might get ruined especially as there has been a girl in her class kind of bullying her by taking her money and other stuff. Anyways long story short..this girl came and picked up her pet and threw it on the ground and broke it...it no longer moves. She was so sad and we felt bad ....but it was grandpa who came through and put the sparkle back in Alicias eyes when he sent money to buy a new Zhu Zhu pet . What a good grandpa our kids have !!!

more pics from our day at the park

Just a few more pics from our day at the park and i was just trying to figure out how to make it so you could view the pics larger ..(i think i figured it out boyd). Oh and hans said he doesnt like our blog because i am never in the pictures ..well i guess i can no longer hide behind the camera anymore , darn it I thought it was working out great. But i guess the kids need to remember their mum actually was on all these outings with them when they look at our blog/journal later.
