School Pictures!!!!

Ilove these pictures! I think they turned out cute other than Ileigh messing her hair up, oh well, she pulled it off!

Blog blob!

Wow! I guess it has been a while since I last posted any pictures and a lot has happened. For the record it has been crazy around our place and that is my excuse! We moved into a different farmhouse and I love it...just a few farmhouses over so we are still in the same ward and school so that is awesome. Tim had a birthday and is now even older than me and I love to tease him about it! Puppies all found good homes and they are gone...mixed feelings there...so much fun but also so much work:/ We have had our thanksgiving which happens in October here in Canada, and is so weird by the way...Halloween was super fun! My husband is hot and finally got a haircut, but not before we were able to get a picture of the longness...Ileigh has a new doll Cinderella who she insists is her new sister(who is a little creepy!) I send my son to school when the weather is -30 C and for all those in the US that is -25 F and that is without the windchill...so very cold!!! We took our kids on a treasure hunt and found an old pirates chest and they were so excited! Kael is a big boy now and shares a room with Addison...we got to paint Addison and Kael's new room blue and the kids helped. We have been baking a ton and have had friends over to help. And I think that kind of recaps the last few months, I am going to try and keep on top of it, but I guess we will see!

Going to a Birthday Party!!!

This is a sad post and I am sorry...I guess a lot of you can skip reading it if you want, but my heart is just broken. I found out on Facebook of all places that a good friend from school has died. It makes me so sad to think of him in his last moments and knowing what he has left behind. It also makes me sad to think he doesn't know how amazing and awesome I have always thought he was. I know I am a nerd, but I feel connected to my friends and classmates...how many years did we spend seeing each other everyday and bonding. To all my classmates (I guess the ones that I knew right?) I think you guys are awesome, a lot of you made me a better person and I am so grateful for your friendship and I really do wish you the most happiness in this life we are living.
I am grateful for the peace that comes from knowing that we will all be together again. To my Savior and Father in Heaven I am eternally grateful!

Addison's first day of school meeting his teacher!

They do things a little different I think here in Canada. Addison went to school for a meeting with his teacher, and then next week he will go for an hour or so to meet some of his classmates and then his official 1st day will be on the 14th! Anyhow, I took a few pictures of his first day meeting his teacher! He was so excited to wear his new shirt Grandma got for him and to wear his new backpack!!! Dad bought him some new runners and he decided that they made him go faster and so he ran everywhere!
His teacher was really nice and she went over a few things with Addison to see where he was at and he did great. The only thing he didn't know was what an ankle and heal was. Oops! After the meeting we went out for lunch just the two of us and we had a ton of fun. I love those moments when you get to be one on one and listen to all he has to say. Addison is so sweet and I adore him. It is so crazy to me that 5 years have come and gone so quickly. I am not sure I am ready to let him go to school, but he is so ready and can't wait! I am going to miss him so much when he is gone during the day. I love my little man and am so proud of him!

Mom and Brian

My mom and brother Brian came up for a visit and I had the time of my life!!! I think we all did! My kids adore Brian and always have so much fun with him, and they loved playing with my mom, especially Ileigh! We played cards all day and ate rice crispies, we went to the park and to the garden to pick veggies and berries! We were lazy and just enjoyed ourselves! The only thing I regret is that Tim was working hard and long hours all week, it just wasn't the same without him. I admit I felt really guilty having a blast all day when I knew he was outside in the heat working hard for us.

We were spoiled rotten with fun gifts from family! Thanks to Regan for the gorgeous dress up dresses for Ileigh! She loves loves them! Grandma brought her makeup and a new purse and she was all set with her new shoes and tiara's. She is such a girl and I love it! The boys got lots of fun toys and new clothes and Addison got a new backpack for school and all his supplies. He is pretty proud and shows off his backpack to anyone who comes over! Thanks to my sisters for the clothes! I love hand me downs and the fact that I can wear Annie's clothes makes my day and really boosts my ego, also I love that I don't have to buy a ton of clothes for the kids. Thanks so much everyone! One thing that I really loved was the jewelry my sister Robin made me! It is beautiful! Robin is so talented it's not fair, I swear the girl can do anything, I just love that I get to be on the receiving end all the time! But the very most exciting thing of all was Ileigh's new dollhouse my dad made for her(us). I would post a picture, but then Ileigh would see it, so you will all have to wait until Christmas, but it is gorgeous! My mom bought all the furniture to go inside and all the people...so Ileigh girl is set for Christmas! I can't wait to see her reaction and even more, I can't wait to set it up and play with her! I don't think I ever grew out of the doll playing stage! My family is the very best! I love them all so much and I am so blessed to have such amazing and caring family members!! I love you guys!!!
Also, isn't my brother a total babe!!!
