HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDLEY!!

For Dudley's 2nd birthday we had a little party for him. Hope and I baked a cake for him with candy on top and we could not forget the candles (the kids blew them out for him). He loved his bone and the kids enjoyed having birthday cake :)

Snow Day

The snow was perfect for making a snowman (person) and the culd-a-sac has a nice hill for the kids to play on. I think Dudley had more fun than anyone :) Need to enjoy the snow while it is here!!

Christmas Pictures

We had a nice and relaxing Christmas. The kids loved all of their gifts, especially their new pj's, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa C and Great-Grandma C. Hope was overwhelmed with all of her new princess stuff and is starting to develop a wee bit of a princess attitude :) Micah enjoyed all of his gifts. His personal favorites were the remote control dump truck and his Nintendo DS and Star Wars game (thanks Uncle Kyle!!).

The best part was that I did not have to cook Christmas dinner for the Dawson's did that for us and it was wonderful.

We were able to have all the Reimer's together for Christmas this year and it was awesome!! But, being the organized person I am I forgot my camera in PG. The four of did lots of fun things in Calgary. The kids did build a bear, saw the Calgary Flames practice (obviously Curtis's highlight), went to the zoo and it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. It was a well timed vacation that we all needed!!

Christmas Stuff....

Here are some pictures of things we have done so far this Christmas season. It ranges from watching the city turn on its lights, making gingerbread "trains" (with our family scrooge) to a very tiring Christmas concert weekend. Thank you to the boys for making the church concert one to remember :)

SNOW!!!!

Of course the first major snowfall of the year happens when Curtis is out of town. So, that left Hope and I to get to work and shovel the snow ourselves!! Hope and Dudley LOVED it. I think Curtis is probably in a panic for his VW van was sitting out in the snow. But, his wife came to the rescue and moved it under the carport for him (I think I deserve something for that!). Also, just for Kyle, Hope finally put the ladybug costume on.

Pumpkin Carnival

Hope and I went to the church fun night on Halloween so we could get some candy!! Hope loved fishing and bowling, especially when the end result is a handful of candy. We refused to leave the cake walk until we won, it took us a LONG time but we got some cupcakes finally. We missed Curtis and Micah though :(

Buddy Field Trip

Micah's class had a field trip with my grade 6's to the Willmann farm. Micah had TONS of fun that Curtis and I never even saw him (too busy playing with his big buddy!!) Hope was cold but loved the horse!!!

Playing by the River

Monica and I took the kids to Fort George Park, possibly the last time, and the kids decided to go play by the river. They had tons of fun throwing rocks, climbing and slidding down the hill.

A Nice Fall Walk

Enjoying a COLD Fall Day

The kids had fun playing in the puddles and climbing the trees while I froze outside watching!!! I wanted to put my winter jacket on but could not bring myself to do it (way too early!!).

Grandma and Grandpa Cornfield Come for a Visit!!

In July, Grandma and Grandpa Cornfield came up to visit us. We loved having them here and Dad made a GREAT chicken supper for us!! Thanks Dad!!!

There, you are on the blog are you happy now!!??!!

Thanks Uncle Kyle!!!

We love our gifts that you sent us!!! Too bad you were not in the box with them :)

Off to Kindergarten...

Our little boy went off the kindergarten today...where does the time go? One goes through so many mixed feelings when this day comes but we are excited to see what God has in store for our son.

What is all over your face???

I found our little trouble-maker one morning with her whole face in a pile of sugar. She thought it would be fun to dump the whole bag on the floor and try to eat it like a puppy. What are we going to do with this one????

Pictures with Uncle Kyle...

Uncle Kyle came for a visit and we enjoyed having him here. The best news is that Hope finally warmed up to him and even gave him hugs and kisses!!!! We went for a walk to Shane Lake and was able to snag some pictures of him and the kids.
