Viva Las Vegas

Well here are a few pictures of our soon to be annual girls trip. This year we did Las Vegas. We were sad  not have Jen with us (due to her pregnancy) this time but she will be coming next year for sure. We had so much fun shopping, eating and laughing with and at each other. I was so happy that my Aunt Karen was able to come with us. She made the trip so much fun. I think mom and Karen had a great time together. They had so much energy. One night all of us girls were ready to call it a night around 1am but not mom and Karen, they wanted to stay up and try our luck at the New York New York Casino. Unfortunately we didn't win anything but, it all about the fellowship, right girls? I had so much fun hanging out and just having some good old fashion fun with my sisters. Next Year we might go to Arizona, but haven't made any concrete plans yet. I can't wait!

Mexico 2009

Well here are some of our Mexico pictures. These are only a few of the hundreds of picture we took while we were there. We had so much fun just relaxing on the beach. However traveling with a 9 month old was not as easy as we would have liked. Cooper all in all did pretty good, but it sure didn’t help that he got both of his top teeth while we where there. Needless to say he got a little grumpy at times. Things did pick up once they broke through and he was able to have some fun. We spent most of our days on the beach and the kids even got to swim with the dolphins, which was a real highlight for them. That’s what we did for Jager’s official birthday. I’ll post some more pictures soon but these are the ones we took on a beach in Tulum. It was one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen.

Jager turns 4

Well it has been a long time since I've blogged. I am hoping to get caught up so here we go. This is the cake I made for Jagers 4th birthday. We had a little celebration before we left to Mexico because we would be in Mexico for his real birthday. For some reason I can't find the other picture so this is it for now. Jager is in love with swords or maybe I should say obsessed with them. When I asked him what kind of cake he wanted of course he said a sword cake. We also celebrated my dad's birthday that night too so my mom made a very yummy pineapple cheese cake for the adults and the kids had the sword cake. Oh and of course Geoff had the sword cake too. If its not chocolate Geoff's not havin' it.

Jager at 4 years old:

Jager is all boy through and through. He loves any kind of weapon known to man. He can never have too may swords. He is fascinated with anything that he thinks is dangerous. He has really become a daddy’s boy and loves going to work with his dad. His favourite colors are black and Green. He loves treats. Sometimes I think his world revolves around treats and the dollar store. He started preschool this year and seems to really like it. For some reason he has the hardest time remembering the other kids names in his class. So when we ask about them he just makes up names like Vanilla, Hayden Caden, faden. We laugh about it but he usually gets mad when we do. He loves to play with Kaiya and Cooper. Jager is a real chatter box and seems to never stop talking. He loves tools (real tools). He says he wants to be a builder and a police man with a real gun when he grows up. His favourite food right now is macaroni and cheese and steak. His favourite movie right now is Transformers. He loves movies with real stuff in it. It’s so funny because he gets scared of cartoon characters, but doesn’t even bat an eye while watching Lord of the rings (dad’s idea not mine). All in all Jager is a combination of sweet, sassy, silly, sensitive, and spiritual. He brings so much joy into our home and I can’t imagine our lives without him.

I can hardly believe it

Well it is only 7 day's till we leave to Mexico and I can hardly believe that my Christmas shopping is almost all done. Never in my life have I ever been done Christmas shopping before Christmas Eve, It was my goal to have it done before we left this year and I am almost there. I am really looking forward to having a relaxing December. I just hope everyone can stay healthy. This H1N1 is getting a little bit scary. On a lighter note. Today as I was making one of many lists of things to get done before we leave I was trying to figure out ideas of what to get my brother and sister in-law Dick and Krystyn I asked Jager to help me think of some ideas. I said "Hey Jag what do you think we should get Aunt Krystyn for Christmas." Jager stood there pondering the question and then said "a fly swatter" and then I said "what about Uncle Dick" Jag says “a tar"(which means a guitar) Geoff and I had a good laugh because he actually did put some thought into his answers. Krystyn and Dick sorry to ruin the surprise.

Mom's new business card

This is the new business card I designed for mom.

Just way too cute!

He is just way too cute in his little hat! Love it!

Kaiya's invitation

This was Invitation I made for Kiaya's Birthday Party. I came across it today and thought I would put it up.

Cooper 8 Months old

Well Cooper is just over 8 months now and growing like a weed. I just had him weighed last week and he is now 14 lbs and 6 oz. He is for sure my smallest baby yet. He is changing so much everyday.

Things he is doing @ 8 months:
-Rolling over
-Sitting up on his own
-holding his own bottle
-eating solid foods
-making lots of noise
-I swear he clapped yesterday but it was probably a fluke.
-lots of laughs (he love when you sneeze it really gets him going)
-He is still not the worlds greatest sleeper but neither were my others

He isn't really showing too many signs of crawling yet and I am crossing my fingers that he will wait at least till we get back from our vacation to Mexico. We leave on Nov 6th so here's to hoping. Kaiya and Jager were at least scooting around by 8 months or so. I'm in no hurry for him to get too mobile. He has such a sweet little spirit and is one of the best babies ever. The is so content most of the time. I know I have been so blessed with three of the MOST wonderful children in the world. I can't imagine life with out them.

Geoff is in Seattle this weekend for the annual man trip with Drew, Chris, Mat and JD. All I can say is HOLY MOLY hats off to all single mothers out there. I was thinking to myself how do they do it and for that matter do it well. I have a hard enough time keeping up with my three and I have a husband who is an amazing help. Anyways all in all it is going surprisingly good so far. Thank goodness for the WONDERFUL weather today. We got up to 23 degrees today. Robyn, Cohen and Mandy and her kids and I went to tim's to get donuts and then to the Henderson lake park to play. It was really busy considering this has been he nicest day in a long while. I did forgot my camera thought with I am a really kicking myself for it. The kids had so much fun!

My sweet boys!

Oh my sweet boys! With Kaiya in school everyday now Jager and Cooper have been able to spend a lot more time together. Jager can get a little board at times seeings how Cooper can't play swords yet, but all in all he really loves his brother. I am so glad Jager and Cooper have each other. I hope they will be great friends when they get older. I just hope I get the chance to have another girl someday so Kaiya can have a sister, don't get me wrong we would be blessed to have a baby no matter what the gender, I just think the bonds between sisters are so special.

Photo Frenzy

These are a few of my fav pictures I got taking pictures of Robyn and Mandy's family. Still learning the In's and out of my camera and I have had it for several years now, but having fun. I keep telling Geoff I really want a camera upgrade. He tells me I have to learn more about the one I have first. So I'm trying to do that by using my family as my guinea pigs.
