Julia's 7th Birthday Party
This was such a fun day for our baby girl. I can't believe she will be 7 in a couple of weeks. We celebrated her birthday on friday with 15 of her girlfriend from school and dance classes. They all loved the spa theme. (Who doesn't like getting pampered.) They all got a manicure and pedicure and also made a few crafts. After that they went on this water slide thing we bought the kids. They all had a blast and had a chance to cool down. It was 39 degrees out where we lived and you could feel it even in the shade. All the birthday activities were done in the shade outside except for the slide. After the slide it was cake and presents. Julia got a lot of cute gifts. Her favorites where from dad and mom though. We bought her a pair of heeleys and a dirt bike. She has rode it a few times and loves it. We got it in pink too with a matching helmet.(Pink being Julia's favorite color.)Here are some picture of the party. Enjoy!!!

News of the Week
This week the girls had day camp from 10-12pm Monday to Friday which they totally loved. It was right across the street at Julia's elementary school. (and it was FREE!) They learned a couple of dances, made a few crafts and did a lot of running around. Shawn has been out of town since July 4th, so the day camp has helped break up my days and let me get some shopping done.
On Wednesday I had the day off from babysitting so I took the girls into Langley to get some school clothes. We went to Laneza girl and the girls went to work. They know there own sizes and they have their own taste, so I just sit back and let them shop. They picked out some really cute stuff. Julia bought a couple of camouflage outfits, a hoody, faded jeans and a couple of t-shirts. Kailey was a little different. She some rocker t-shirts,faded jeans, a couple of skirts and of course a hat. (She is the hat queen.) The ladies that worked there got a kick out of my girls, they couldn't believe they already new how to shop, try on their clothes by themselves and everything else. (One day they will have to learn how to pay for their clothes by themselves) We bought some Kernels caramel popcorn for Thomas at the mall and he was content just sitting in his stroller. With the rainy weather it was a perfect day to go shopping.
Also while we were at the mall I managed to buy a birthday gift for Julia. My sister was with me, so she ate lunch with the kids while I went and bought Julia a pair of Heeleys. She has been asking for these shoes for almost a year and so now she will finally get a pair.
We are having her birthday party on July 21st at home and she has 17 little girlfriends coming. (Some are from school, dance and a couple have been her friends since they were little babies) Her birthday theme is "A Day at the Spa." The girls will be making two crafts. (One is a bath bomb and the other is bath salts) They will get to pick their own fragrance and color for their crafts. Also I will have a pedicure and a manicure station were the girls get their nails done and then get to keep their nail polish as part of their goodie bag. After dinner, cake and presents , they will all enjoy a swim in the pool. It will be a lot of fun and Julia is counting down the days.
Yesterday me and the kids went and rented some movies. Julia wanted Leroy and stitch and Kailey wanted to get a different movie (as always). She points to the movie she wants and says "Mom I love this movie, Chicken Niggle" and I started laughing (as did a lot of other people in the store) and then she tries to correct herself by saying " I mean Chicken Nipple." She is such a funny kid.

Hippopotamus?
Just a few funny things my two young children have said today-
I was asking Kailey if she wanted to be in drama class again in September and she said "I don't think so mom, I think I would like to take Hippopotamus instead." At first I couldn't figure out what she was talking about so I looked on the dance/drama schedule and seen Hip Hop class.
Lately Thomas has been handing me his diaper and telling me " poo poo mom", and then in a quiet voice he whispers "stinty" (he is just too cute and goofy) so I figured I would introduce him to the toilet. There is no way I'm teaching him to stand peeing so I sat him down on a potty seat (that sits on the toilet). I told him to go pee and he just had this blank look on his face. I figured he wasn't understanding me and then all the sudden he looks down at himself and starts yelling "Go!, Go!, Go PEEEEE!" I started laughing so hard but Thomas was all business. He sat there for about 10 minutes and then we gave up. I got his bath started and put him in. Then he started grabbing himself and stood up and of course he is now peeing in his bath. Maybe next time when I put him on the potty I will dip his feet in some warm water.

Peytan's Baby Shower
I'm inviting any of you blogger girls and your families to Peytan's (Karen new baby girl) baby shower on Sunday July 9th. I'm having it at my home from 1-4pm. It was suppose to be a surprise shower but my mother-in-law spoiled it. That's why I'm bogging this invite on such a late notice. Please let me know if you can come, so I know how many people to expect.

Canada Day Weekend
Since Thursday (the last day of school) things have slowed down quite a bit. The kids are sleeping in (till 8:30am) which has been really nice and the weather has been beautiful. On Canada day we didn't do too much. The girls went with the neighbours to the Canada day parade and Shawn and I (with Thomas) went to Home Depot for our last big order for our home. We ordered the baseboard, trim, doors and a cedar fence for our pool. Last week our carpet was installed, our new kitchen table with chairs came and Thomas's bedroom set. Our little boy is now in a "Big Boy Bed." (I love the way Thomas says it best, "Big Booooooooy") Every night I've been peeking in his room to see if he is actually sleeping in his bed and not on the floor. So far so good, he is loving it. Thomas has been sleeping in and still taking a 2 1/2 to 3 hour afternoon nap in the day.
On Sunday we went to Maple Bay at Cultas Lake for our church service. We ended up missing almost the entire service but we stayed and had a pic-nic and went swimming. The kids loved it and it was nice hanging out with Sarah and her family. (We didn't see the McCue's there though). On our way home from Cultas, we took the kids to Dairy Queen but we ended up just doing the drive thru thing because all the kids were asleep.
