playdate!

it was so nice to finally see sara and her kiddos!!! it's been a month i think!!? they were away and then busy moving... we had some other moms over too... it was probably the most people i've ever had in my house at one time but it worked out! maybe now i can brave hosting more playdates!

some of the moms & kids

more moms and kids
hallie, kai, and madison dancing!

emerson was having a rough day and pretty grumpy all day. can you tell??
hallie & madi were having so much fun together today!
my favorite part of this pic is sara.... LOL ;)

monday monday.....

monday we had plans to meet some people at chuck e cheese.... but it ended up being just us.... so the kids and i had some fun doing some games and having lunch. we weren't there long though... it's just not the same without another adult to talk to LOL! (although i was getting pretty into the bowling game LOL!)

then we went home, kai passed out so hallie and i made muffins! it was the first time we have successfully made muffins since we've lived here! yay! (i have a habit of burning them)

kai woke up and we did more coloring, play-doh, and other really fun stuff like laundry.... haha!

this was almost a cute pic but emerson grabbed at the camera, so i got a pic of her cute fingers instead...

play doh!
messy faced emmy
oh look, there's one of the molars... did i mention i felt around and i think she has at least 3 of them now...
hallie's "creation" she made all on her own while kai was sleeping
it is pages she has colored, bound together with pipecleaner and tape! hehe... oh don't forget the bingo dabber....
kai, concentrating hard on his coloring work... (see tongue)
hallie, also concentrating hard on her work
hallie baking
emerson trying pizza
hallie with stuart little

oh baby!

so saturday i packed up hallie & kai and drove to a far off land, also known as the north side of edmonton! haha! i really don't like driving all that much, so driving way to the north side, it's not overly fun for me! while we were gone (which was like 3 -4 hours once we had attempted all errands!) kipp and emerson had some quality time at home. later on, i discovered these pictures on my camera....

kipp and emerson had a little photo shoot... daddy is a weirdo!!!!!!

here he has carefully placed emerson on a stool...

and here, he has changed her into a dress, chosen a nice red backdrop, and placed several teddy bears around her (i've never been a big fan of props but it looks like it worked LOL!)
and here, once again changed into a princess constume (sort of)
does someone have too much time on their hands?!?????? ;)

sunday soccer!

i had to work friday night and sunday night... but sunday afternoon we went out and played some soccer. the kids love playing soccer with daddy... and daddy of course will take any chance to kick the ball around.... (he often goes in the evenings and just plays alone on 'his field') kai is really into it.... hallie not so much or at least not on sunday LOL!

sleeping emmy

she is so funny when she sleeps... she always gets close to one side of the crib and has her feet crossed and in the crib bars... ALWAYS! it's so funny!!!

friday at the fort!

we spent friday at fort edmonton park... grandma met us there and we all had fun! i find that place more and more interesting each time i go. if only the kids would allow me to stop and read the info on each building....

my mom said she used to want to read about each building too but us kids rushed her through it... we weren't interested in the history back then and now that i am interested, my mom can't go into the buildings with me :(

the kids with the big train in the background. they had fun riding it and grandma met us on 1885 street since she couldn't ride the train...

the kids thought these were drums LOL!
hallie was driving! aaahhh! it was hilarious! she's a krazy driver, and fast too!
hi kai!
grandma bought the kids these clown noses for 50 cents at the gift shop! haha!

last thursday

wow, it's been a while..... these pics are from last thursday at galaxyland. we went with some friends including L, T, J, and their kids, and miss juanita and her kiddos!
