mothers day weekend

2009-05-18T15:57:00.000-07:00

We went to seaside for the mothers day weekend with sams parents. The kids had a great time riding the carosel and the small train. We went swimming every day that we were there. ANd to the kids any time there is a pool it is the best vacation ever. We also went to the little aquarium on the board walk. Connor fed the seals and Alexis claped as they splashed us all.

planting day

2009-05-18T15:52:00.000-07:00

The kids always have

such a good time planting the garden at the beginning of the season. They all go and pick out what kind of vegies they want to grow. Alexis got to pick out some new flowers to plant as well. Fun time at our house.

can't resist

2009-05-18T15:49:00.000-07:00

Ok so we were driving by this store and it had a pirate flag out front. SO of course we had to stop. THis to me are the best pictures of the trip. They now got to be real pirates. What a way to end the perfect adventure.

last stop

2009-05-18T15:45:00.000-07:00

Well we went to the coast guard museum as our last stop. The kids are trying out the rescue flotation device. Alexis isnt sure about all the manakins but she liked the fact that she was allowed to touch it all.

more of the same

2009-05-18T15:40:00.000-07:00

If you look realy close you can see the top of Connors head in the command station. He had a good time looking out over the water and pretending that he was a soldier looking out for ships. Alexis loved getting a change to practice her driving skills.

The fort

2009-05-18T15:36:00.000-07:00

Our next stop was to go see the Fort. I think that nana and papa were not realy ready to go on this full adventure with us. But they were great sports as they were being lead around by the kids to see all the places they could fit.

2009-05-18T15:29:00.000-07:00

Well we did it we found a ship wreck. The beach that day as you can see is cold and wet. Along with the ship Connor discovered a giant pile of sea weed. He started to drag them from all over the beach to help with the collection. So far Abby has had a great time on our adventure as well. She did a lot of swimming and even tried to join the two men on the boat.

the cannon

2009-05-18T15:24:00.000-07:00

Then we went and found the cannon at cannon beach. I think it is the first time in all the years I have been going that I stoped to look at it. It is amazing the things that your kids will have you slow down to look at. We were there for just long enought to get these pictures. then back on the move in seach of pirate ships.

hunting pirates

2009-05-18T15:15:00.000-07:00

I took the kids to the beach on a long weekend to go in search of pirates. As you can see we first had to start on the beach in the rain. Like any adventure it starts with a little weather, and a lot of digging.

Connors pictures

2009-03-11T13:35:00.000-07:00

As you can see he is caught some realy good pictures. Of not only the animals but he even got Heather and Jack. I am sure that I will not be the one taking the pictures soon. Oh well. At least I know he likes doing something other than sports. I think that the monkey picture that he took is one of his best.

zoo trip

2009-03-11T13:27:00.000-07:00

Heather and I took Connor Jack nad Alex

is to the zoo today. They had a great time running around and seeing all of their favorite animals. It was a little cold but we have found that you need to take advantige of the sunny days. Even if it is 38 degrees. As you can see we have some pictures comming up that the kids took. Connor is realy getting into taking pictures. And they are really pretty good. He must get it from Sam and aunti Heather, and Papa.

The way home

2009-02-17T13:27:00.000-08:00

On the way home from feeding the fish they all stoped off at the falls. Sam was very drave and hiked up half way with both of them. They loved seeing the water and standing on the bridge watching it hit the pool at the bottom. It is nice that the 3 of them got to do a day like this together. It makes for some good memories for them.

Boniville Fish Hachery

2009-02-17T13:21:00.000-08:00

Sam took the kids to the hachery so that they could feed the fish. They all had a great time spending time just the 3 of them. All that Alexis would talk about when she got home was how big the fish was. Although i think she called it a dinasour. I guess to her the stergion did look like one.

At Amahs

2009-02-17T13:15:00.000-08:00

The kids have a great time at Sams parents. We now have proof of all that is done there. A little walking. A little dancing and of corse the ice cream cones. What more could you ask for with going to your grandparents.

Christmas

2008-12-29T10:19:00.000-08:00

Christmas at our house was a great one. The kids had a great time opening pressents and making a huge mess. Alexis got a doll house and a bunch of things for her new baby. Phillip took the time and made her a wonderful bed for them. Connor got a new bike. That as you can see he was unable to ride. He was not to excited about the snow at that point. He also got a Lacross stick and lots of video games. Our neighbor was even crazy enough to try to get to work. The snow was nice for the first few days. But even abby got tired of it.

Candy house

2008-12-15T10:37:00.000-08:00

Well the kids finaly talked me into putting the house together. The y did a great job. Connor even got into putting the icing on this year. Alexis I think ate more of the candy then she put on the house. It is a good thing that the kits come with extra candy.

first snow

2008-12-15T10:27:00.000-08:00

We finaly got our first major snow of the season. We had a great time slidding down the hills at the park. Alexis didn't know what to do with it at first but got into it rather quickly. It was so cold with the wind that we didn't stay as long as the kids would of liked. But we went out a few times later that day.

Zoo lights

2008-12-15T09:52:00.000-08:00

Sam and I took the kids to the zoo lights this past week. We all had a great time walking through the zoo in the bitter cold. It seems like it is always coldest the night we go. I guess that is what adds to the fun. The lights are always so wonderful and the train ride is always worth the wait. As they get older though I gues they will be going for us and not themselfs.

Tea

2008-12-15T09:45:00.000-08:00

Heather and I started a new Holiday tradition. We all got dressed up in our party clothes and we went to the Heathman for Tea. We all had a great time. Alexis wore her party shoes ans took her party purse. This is definitly the starting of a great new way to start the holidays.

Alexis Birthday

2008-11-30T13:22:00.000-08:00

Alexis had her 2nd birthday just recently. As you can see auntie Heather is the one that took all the pictures. Alexis had an elephant birthday this year. We made elephant masks and caught butterflys that were shot out of an elephants nose. It was a good time. She got new babys and a bed and stroller for them. She has a good time pushing them all around the house. Well that is all the pics I have for now. I will post more after Christmas.

Connors birthday

2008-11-30T13:17:00.000-08:00

So I forgot my camera for Connors 6th birthday party. Amaha took lots of pictures but I havent gotten them yet. We went to glow in the dark mini golf. It was fun. The kids got 3d glasses and the hole place was painted with pirates and other scarry stuff. It was just what 6 year old boys want. He had a Star wars cake that was way to big as always. But as soon as I get those pics I will post them.

Halloween

2008-11-30T13:12:00.000-08:00

Here are my little Trick or Treaters. Connor is Jango Fet from the new Star Wars movies. Alexis is a butterfly princess. She had to be talked out of being Whinnie the Pooh with wings this year. It was so sad but after 4 Halloween stores looking for a Pooh costume we had to fin something else. That is ok she still wears her wings and dress just to be pretty. Oh the joys of having a girl.

Pumpkin Picking

2008-11-30T13:07:00.000-08:00

I took the kids to the pumpkin patch one foggy October morning. They had a great time going in the mud to find the Great Pumpkin. And believe me we did. We found the biggest pumpkin that I have ever found. It was 43 pounds and guess who got to pull it back to the car. Ya you guessed it dear old mom. Well atleast Connor helped by pulling his sister.

Soccer season

2008-11-30T12:56:00.000-08:00

IT has been so crazy in our house since the summer started. Here is Connors soccer team. I ended up being the head coach of all these crazy kids. They did such a good job and I had a great time. I was not alone though. I had 2 assistant coaches to help me out. Thank god.

Dance class

2008-09-25T12:42:00.000-07:00

Alexis has now started her first dance class. She was so excited to have a dance outfit. Sam went uot and got her the whole outfit. The dance class is a lot of fun. She plays with hoola hoops and ribbins and dancing to all kinds of music. This is a mommy and baby class so I get plenty of excercise twirrling her all around, and helping her do the moves that they show. Oh well it is good fun for all of us. Connor has a good time sitting on the side lines and laughing at some of the moves that we are trying to do. That is a big brother for you.

Football Season

2008-09-11T12:58:00.000-07:00

Football season is in full swing at our house. As you can see Connor is ready to play as well. He told me that he was wearing it to get used to it for when he is able to play. And besides I have to wear a helmet to ride my bike. Right. Well now you know what it is like at my house. I am not winning this fight. And he isnt even old enough to play. Oh well. At least if he falls his head wont hurt.

Daddy time

2008-09-09T15:55:00.000-07:00

Sam had a wonderful time teaching Alexis how to ride her bike. She wants so much to be a big kid like her brother. Unfortunatly I don't think that her dad is realy ready for her to grow up so fast. I know I am not. Oh well she loves ridding her bike up and down the street with her brother. Summer fun in our house.

First game

2008-09-09T15:41:00.000-07:00

Here is Connors first game. I am coaching for the first time so it is a learning experiance for the both of us. I am so proud of him. He is trying so hard and loves to play. There is an encredible drive in him that I am just starting to see. It is nice that he loves to do something this much.

First day

2008-09-03T19:09:00.000-07:00

So it was Connors first day of school. He was so excited to ride the bus that when he found out I was going to drive him this first day he couldnt believe it. When we droped him off at the school he didn't say good bye or wave or give us kisses. No my son gave me a head nod and went on his way like it was no big deal. When he got home all he wanted to talk about was the bus, and how the other kids wouldn't play with him because they were to scared to do anything. Oh well. I guess he was ready to go and be the big kid on the bus. It was anti climatic that I feel like I got jiped from some kind of emotion. That is my son. The its no big deal mom. Well I got to love him.

Me to

2008-09-02T20:09:00.000-07:00

Abby has had a good summer to. She couldnt be left out. Alexis wouldn't let it happen.

Rock climbing

2008-09-02T20:03:00.000-07:00

Connor is so much a boy. He decided to go off and climb the rocks. Well his sister had to be big to. He is so patient and understanding with her. I couldn't ask for more from him. He decided to help his sister be the big kid she wants to be.

A day at the beach

2008-09-02T19:56:00.000-07:00

She Is now into taking off her shoes and digging her feet in the sand. She is dancing to her brother singing as he is climbing. What a pair.

Last summer trip

2008-09-01T22:22:00.000-07:00

Well this has become our last trip of the summer. We went fishing and as you can see we caught some good ones. Alexis wanted nothing to do with the fish. She even asked her dad to put them back in the lake. She is my animal activist. Oh well the boys had a good time with them. They made a good lunch though. Connor starts school on wednesday and I will be putting thoes up as sonn as I can. He is very excited.

Soccer camp

2008-09-01T22:17:00.000-07:00

Connor had a great time doing a "Big kid camp"

this summer. He did a UK soccer camp that was amazingly down the street from us. He learned some great moves and learned how to think of it as a team. Big things for 5.

My babys

2008-09-01T22:03:00.000-07:00

Alexis, Addie, and Taylor all love to play together. Alexis calls them her babys and has a good time helping to take care of them. That is till they want to do there own thing.

Big girl

2008-07-30T14:09:00.001-07:00

Alexis is trying to be so much bigger then she should. I guess that is how all second borns are. She is now trying to listen to music like her brother and dad do. I gues this is the future look of my child. Oh well.

2008-07-30T13:59:00.000-07:00

fishing adventure

2008-07-30T13:50:00.000-07:00

Connor and Sam went on an adventure with the neighbors. They all had a great time fishing and running around all over. They all touched there fish and even watched them get cleaned. Connor said he was a pro but ended up catching the smallest fish. But there is always the one that got away.

Bikes

2008-07-30T13:43:00.000-07:00

They are getting so big now. I can't believe that she is now riding connors old bike. He is now zooming all overthe place to. He has gotten so much more confident. It is great to see how they have both grown so much.

park trip

2008-07-30T13:29:00.000-07:00

Sorry it has been forever. We have been so bussy. The kids have had a great time going to new parks and running all over town. Here they are playing tag at a great park in down town Vancouver. Fun times.

Earings

2008-05-09T15:25:00.000-07:00

here is some pictures of her earings finaly. I know that they are small. I hope that you can see them in the picture. They are just small silver balls.

Early Summer

2008-05-09T15:17:00.000-07:00

The kids want summer so bad that at any sign of the sun they are outside. Today they were running around with just T shirts. This should tell you how bad they want summer. It is only in the 50 right now. Oh well I guess that is why kids are so resiliant. Out of all the toys in the yard they play with sticks and a big box. Next birthday all they get is the recycling.

Rest Time

2008-05-09T14:45:00.000-07:00

This is how Alexis and Jackson Veg as they watch tv. They have the same basket just far enough appart that they cant touch the other one. They have their own blankets and their own cups that match to. It is all about it being the same. It is a nice quiet way to watch Bob the Builder.

Easter

2008-04-24T12:49:00.000-07:00

Sorry it took so long to get these up. They had such a good time finding the eggs. All four kids had a great time at Amahs. There was so much cadie I think none of them slept on the drive home.

Tea Party

2008-04-24T12:32:00.000-07:00

The kids decided to have a tea party. What is neat is that Heather and I had tea partys at this same table and with this set when we were little. The table and chairs that papa made us is still keeping up with the kids.

T- Ball

2008-04-24T12:24:00.000-07:00

Here are those action photos I was talking about. He is loving playing and Sam is having a great time to. He tells me I need to rout less. I am distracting him to much.

Rocker Princess

2008-04-24T12:15:00.000-07:00

Here is my little rocker princess. She has to wear her brothers super hero shirts but wants to be a princess to. We are in for it when she gets older.

The Big One

2008-04-24T12:02:00.000-07:00

Sam finaly got to bring home that big fish from all of thoes Big Wapper stories. As you can see Connor was also very excited about it to. The fish accualy out weighed Alexis.

Roller Skating

2008-04-10T10:41:00.000-07:00

We just went roller skating for the first time on Tues. and as you can see they had a great time. Connor picked it up realy fast for

his first time. They even had things to do for Alexis. Although as you can see she would rather climb everything instead. I guess that is how it goes.

T-Ball

2008-04-07T15:21:00.000-07:00

Connor has now just started T ball.
We took these as he was bugging us to go early to his first game. I think it was 8 in the morning. He is nothing if not excited. Unfortunitly there first game was called because the field was to wet. Sam is having a good time coaching the 12 5-7 year olds. Lucky for him he has 2 ass. coaches. The kids did get to play the game though. They played on tues. I think it was more exciting for the parents at times then for the kids. Connor got to play pitcher and catcher. I will try to get some pictures up of him in all the gear. I have some great video to if I can swing doing that to. So far he loves playing and doesnt understand why they need to practice. Oh well.

family moments

2008-04-07T15:02:00.000-07:00
