It has been awhile...

Here is a hodgepodge of pictures for you to look at. Sorry that I have been so behind lately but once summer is here I will be more on top of things. Enjoy!!

Tired Kids

Here is a picture of two really tired kids!!

Micah and Kyle's Birthday Supper - minus Kyle :(

We had Micah and Kyle's birthday supper but Kyle had to go back to Red Deer (more cake for us!!)

Calgary thus far...

Here are just a few pictures from our trip so far. We have lived a lot in these past 2 days!!!

Character Day

It was Character Day at Cedars and Micah went as a dinosaur from one of his books. There was a whole school parade before lunch and it was a lot of fun to watch all the students dressed up. After Hope and I went home she felt she needed to dress up as well into what else but her princess dress. Grandma and Grandpa Cornfield's package for the kids came at the perfect time. We got home opened the parcel and Hope's gift was a dress-up princess kit that goes perfectly with her dress!!! She even had a nap in her outfit because she did not want to take it off, what a girl!! Micah received a drawing kit that he loves!!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa you did good :)

The Kids

Thought we would put a few pictures of the kids together (and getting along) on the blog.

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.
