Thanksgiving Weekend

It's been quite awhile since I've posted anything. Life has been very busy. We finally settled in our new home in Kelowna and the kids are loving their new schools. Thomas started preschool this year and is doing so well. He's starting to talk and he's much happier here in Kelowna. Thanksgiving weekend we had my in-laws over and also my sister-in-laws fam. It was nice to get together and the kids played the weekend away with their cousins. They are all growing up so fast and getting so big. Where did all the time go?

Here's a picture of Shawn and I. We took everyone to one of the many beaches right by our house. So that's the up date. Life is good!!!

Piano Recital & Art Show

The girls did so well at there piano recital this past Sunday. They did there songs perfect. It goes so quick though. They sit down, play there song for one minute and then there done. The entire recital was only 1 hour long.
After the recital there was an art show. Julia had her boat picture on display. They had prizes for the best picture in each age group. We didn't realize until after the voting was done that Julia's picture was put in the wrong age category. Her teacher put her picture in with the 9/10 years old. She didn't win but she did get quite a few votes.

Vancouver Zoo with Kailey

We go to the Vancouver at least2 times per year and the kids love it every time we go like it was there first time. It was a beautiful day and my group of girls were very easy to take care of.

This is my favorite picture of the bunch. This female lion at one point stuck her nose right through the chain link fence and was smelling me. (She must of liked my perfume or she was sizing me up for dinner)

Sold!!!!

Our house is sold!!! I'm sooooo happy!

May Long Weekend

This weekend the kids and I went up to Kelowna for a visit. I also had to discuss some things about our house up there with my dad. The kids had a good time. The girls love to visit with my parents and Thomas loves keeping everyone busy. Yesterday we all went to the park and my dad played with Thomas. Those two are so funny together. Anything my dad did with Thomas, he would laugh and get so excited. It was so nice to see him having fun.


My girls played with each from morning to night and got along so well. Don't get me wrong, they do love to push each others buttons once in awhile but not this weekend. It was so nice.

Fun in the Sun!

Today was such a beautiful day!! The kids loved it. I babysat 3 kids from Kailey's kindergarten class today. They played outside the entire afternoon which was so nice. I was able to sit, relax and read. I did a couple hours of gardening but for me that is also relaxing. Thomas was laughing at the boys diving into his baby pool.
Kailey and her buddy Lexine.
Joey and Jeff showing off as boys do so well.

Pass the T3s

Well the past week has been a painful one. I had mouth surgery last friday and I'm still feeling the pain. I had 4 teeth pulled and my gums cut to help my eye teeth come through. Of course before my surgery started I fainted getting my IV. I awoke to doctors smacking my face. I totally forgot where I was and my body felt like a ton of bricks. My doctor told me at one point I stopped breathing!Scary!! When I faint for some reason I dream about swimming or being in the water (maybe its a comfort for me, who knows.. ) and this time was no different. So maybe this is why I stopped breathing because when you swim under water, you hold your breath. I don't know if I'm making any sense with what a saying. Anyways I'm so glad that it's over with and I hope I will never need to have another surgery ever again.
Yesterday I was feeling so much better until I went to my orthodontist apt. My doctor put these "buttons" on the tips of my eye teeth and then attached them to my braces. OUCH!!!! The hold drive home all I could think about is having some Tylenol and other heavy drugs to knock me out. An hour after my ortho apt. one of the buttons came off my tooth and I had to go back. Last night my face was so swollen and sore. I know this post is a whiny one but seriously it's all I can think about.
