So long....I know I know..

HI all,

Well it has been awhile since we have had an update. I know...I am so bad at this blogging stuff. I know I go to all my fave blogs each day and say to myself..gee whiz..it hasn't been updated in days...and here I am ..having not updated it for months. I love following up with my friends and their families.

So much has happened since my last post..Madison's 11th Birthday, Kennedy's 13th b-day, Thanksgiving and of course Christmas.

I will attach some pics and give you some updates along with them.

Sorry for being so delinquent!

I had to share these pics we took the other night ..as we were heading up to bed I came across our Colby who had tucked himself into his toy bin as comfortably as he could..he was just too adorable and so content...I couldn't resist snapping a few pics of him...did I say he had the bin in the hallway near the night lite...and he had his favourite stuffie BLUE with him.

Dress up Time!!!

The girls were having fun dressing up so took a few pics...Girls just gotta have fun!!

Pictures from the First Day of School

Presley and Jaden started in kindergarten, Madison, Jagger and Colby were switched to a new school with is mostly French all day and Kennedy started in High school. So there were many changes for all the kids.

Here are some pics of their first day...









So far everything is going very well and the kids love their new schools and teachers..so we are off to a good start.

Hi,

I know I am slow in posting..but here are some pics of our vacation and summer.

Our Presley turns the big 5 tomorrow!!!!

Well today was a wonderful day. We woke up and declared today was pancake day...everyone had pancakes to start their morning...everyone than got dressed and ready as we had fun plans for the day. We had planned in the summer to go to Parc Omega for Presley's birthday weekend. Finally the weekend was here!
This is one place our kids love to go. They look forward to our yearly trip to Montebello and visiting the park.

We hoped with all the rain we have been having all summer that this weekend would turn out to be a nice one and we couldn't have planned it better. The sun was out it was nice, not too hot or cold. The park is so nice, you drive through natural areas where there are animals all over, they are in your car windows and the kids can feed them. There are deer, elk, buffalo's, geese, beavers, wolves, bears and so much more. We bought 10 pounds of carrots before we left to feed our animal friends and headed home without a single one left. The park midway has a stop where you get out of the car and get picked up in a hay wagon..where you are than brought to a small farm where there are more animals, a tree house for the kids to play on, pony rides, a pumpkin patch and beautiful relaxing views.

We then headed back to our car to drive the rest of the way through the park...once done one time...of course we headed to the bathrooms and then turned around and did it again. It was so much fun and the day just flew by at warp speed.

Tomorrow is our Presley's 5th birthday. Everyone in the family is coming to spend some time with her tomorrow and she is very excited about the visit. She especially loved it when her Nanny and Popie come. She loves my parents so dearly. A special day for our big girl. She was given a choice on any cake she would like and she chose cheesecake. She defintely has great taste but not a choice I thought a 5 year old would make. So a cheesecake it is...and singing will be happening.

Presley is a true joy in our lives and we are so thankful every day that she joined our family.
Happy birthday sweetheart.

Here are a few pictures from today's adventure.

Our girls

Jaden has lost her first tooth and she was just so excited. The girls are getting so big and in a few weeks both of them will start in kindergarten. Tomorrow marks a huge day for us as it will be Presley's last day at daycare. I have been dropping my kids and picking them up there almost every day of the week for the last 12 years. I can't beleive September 2nd...I will be driving solo and no more morning chat with my girls in the back. I should say my back seat drivers...telling me what songs to play and where to drive. A new chapter will begin for this mom...

All of our kids will now be split over 3 schools...junior elementary for Colby, Jaden and Presley. Senior elementary for Madison and Jagger and High School for Kennedy. I am getting soooo old!

Big changes ahead...
