St Patricks Day and more

Benson was the first to see what the Leprechaun did while we napped on St Patricks Day.

Kimber was next to see what he had done!  The Leprechaun made one of our pots and one of our pitchers magical and the water turned green when we put it in them.  That was one tricky Leprechaun!!

I had my hair done on Saturday and was taking pictures of it and Kimber decided to join in!

Saturday night I then took the plunge and cut Kimber s hair.  It looks much healthier than before but I am kind of sad that the curls are gone!

McKay wanted to get in on the pictures as well to show off his bed head!

I have been having major problems uploading videos to blogger so I am posting them on Facebook and will share the links!  Here, here, here, and here.

That is how things are going here!  We are just embarking on Spring Break here and are looking forward to Easter.  Hope you all enjoy this season!

PS

I meant to post this earlier today as well but forgot!

Miss Taylor is definitely not a stationary baby!  She started to do a little bit of an army crawl the other night.  I only got video from behind her so you can see her little bum and feet work away as she tries to move forward!

March So Far!

Taylor had a morning of pampering.  It all started with the inside of her diaper exploding all over her crib.  All you Mama's out there can probably imagine that!  The diaper stuffing is a pain to clean up!  So off to bath we were.  While we were at it why not do our hair and pain our nails?

She cried during most of her pampering but she sure looked cute and girly!

Kimber got pink eye last week and we didn't want to risk spreading it around church so I stayed home with the kids while Daniel went to church as he was teaching the Elders.  After a very odd day McKay finally fell asleep on the couch... he was so cute!

These two love to get a little camera time!  They certainly do like their silly faces too though!

Here is Taylor's first time eating applesauce.  Poor thing looks like she is going to throw up.  My other kids just gobbled up fruit like nothing else!  For some reason the video isn't uploading to blogger right now so here it is on Facebook!

Here is Taylor's new trick... she likes to cross her fingers.  It was pretty cute, she crossed them today while she was choking down the 'nasty' applesauce I gave her.

February

Did I ever tell you about the time we went and visited Nana and Papa?

Kimber was able to wear lollipops in her hair!

We had a fire outside complete with hot dogs and s'mores!

Well, since it was February in Canada it started to snow just before we went out to start.

We were a bit cold, but we had a lot of fun!

We had fun up back home as well.  McKay had fun putting his slippers on during nap time.

Taylor had fun playing with a ball at Grandma and Gramps' when we celebrated both February birthdays.

Taylor tried eating peas.  She eats like a champ most of the time now!

McKay started making silly faces...

While Bens made scary faces!

Well Kimber just makes the best sad face!

We had fun in February!

2012 Photos

My sister just sent me a "few" pictures of my kids from last spring and summer.  By a "few" she meant 41!  Thanks Brooke!  I now have pared it down to 18 pictures to share with you.  Some of these are my favorites and am so glad to have copies of them now!  Enjoy!  These were all before she up and left me here in Edmonton!

We would go over to my Sister's place on Wednesday afternoons for a little change of scenery.  One of these afternoons we went out and played with bubbles.  Don't let the snow fool you, it was a nice day!!

Benson and Uncle Asia, I mean, Aric having a sword fight.  They were a pretty good match up as Aric would show restraint that Benson didn't understand when challenging his cousins.

Proof that Kimber and Naomi actually did get along sometimes.  Naomi has even started to say Kimber's name now!  She used to go silent when asked what Kimber's name was.

Coolio Kimber!  This was after a visit to the eye Dr's we had a couple of cool sunglasses floating around here!

Naomi helping distract McKay while I had the older kids in for their eye appointments!

Handsome Cakey boy.  He loved being able to explore Auntie Arnold's backyard.

Shar and kids came out for a visit last June and the girls had fun together at the park.

All the cousins got together in Red Deer during this trip and McKay was enjoying the cookies there!

  

This one is my favorite!!

Then all washed up with cool hair!

Kimber's birthday. 

Balloon fights are the best!

Before...

and After.

Here is one I just took of Benson Boy reading today.

I can't forget to add a favorite or two of my little Taylor as well.

 These were both done by my friend over at Daybreak Photography.

Well I enjoyed that little look down memory lane!  Thanks for joining me!

Cereal Time!

Our little girl is growing up so much.  I am not totally sure I am ready for it but nevertheless she is growing up!  On Monday she got her first tooth.  We haven't come across any major drama with that yet so we are happy!  On Tuesday we started feeding her rice cereal.  She is doing pretty well with it minus a little gagging in the process.  Last night she ate all the cereal I made!  Enjoy a few videos and pictures on my cutie!

Cutie Taylor... and fun Hair!

We are slowly getting back into the swing of things around here!  Our first week back in reality was plagued by Daniel getting sick.  Luckily he is getting better but Kimber is starting to come down with it now.  Poor girl!

Taylor is a super cutie though and helps us all get through it!

She has such a great smile!  It is made all the better by the toothlessness of it!  I love gummy smiles! 

She is such a big girl.  We started having her sit in the high chair at the table with us at meal times.  She loves it!  She is really growing up way too fast!!  This was her first time sitting in the chair.

Last week after one of the kids baths I combed they boys' hair straight up.  The next morning Benson's was laying flat and this is what McKay's hair looked like.  He had a good laugh with it when he looked in the mirror.

I hope every body is keeping up with their resolutions.  We explained resolutions to the kids and we each made some.  Mine has been a few years in the making... Lose Weight!!  I am glad to report I have been working out.  I know, I don't do active but I have been enjoying it.  Daniel bought a game for the WiiU called Your Shape and it is great.  I like it better than Wii Fit Plus as I feel like I am getting a real workout.  Benson is my partner in crime and helps keep me on track.  Hopefully this will keep up!  I suppose I should do before and after pictures but I am not sure I want that kind of memory of how much I did let myself go!
