Kindergarten Dance

As is tradtion every year the school puts on a family dance for all the kindergarten children and their families. It is always a lot of fun and the kids love it. Here are Rylan and Stefan getting down. There was some serious dancing going on. LOL
Dancing Queens. All dressed up and ready to dance. They were in awe of the lights.

Keagan can do a wicked dance. He is going to be our groupy, the one hanging out at the concerts in the front row. LOL He was determined to win something or get asked to go up on stage to dance. :)

Darien loves the attention that he gets when he is caring around one of the girls. I am not too sure when it all happened but this year has been the year that he has really taken an interest girls. It is so weird to me that he is old enough to be at this stage. In fact he has already fallen out of like with one girl and moved onto the next. LOL One of the girls that he likes was at the dance and it was so cute to see him trying to be "cool" but still getting a little bit goofy. LOL I remember having my first "boyfriend" when I was in grade 5.

The crazy DJ. They did a great job.

Rylan and it really cute little friend that he can't stop talking about. She had told her grandma "you get to meat him tonight" They are so cute.

Keagan was so excited. After all his hard dancing he managed to get called up on the stage to do some dancing. He was so cute. It was a great evening. The older three didn't want to leave but the younger three were done. It is great because I know that we have a least one more family dance to attend. Can't wait.

Finally Finished

So way back in Oct. when we got the bus, I decided that I would make each of the boys quilts for their beds. So off we went to the fabric store. I told the boys that they could pick what ever kind of fabric they wanted to with the exception of skulls and flames. But little did I know that they would pick some pretty crazy colors. So I quickly changed my plan. Instead of having the same fabric on both sides. I decided to do denim on the top and their fabric choice on the other, so that we don't look too crazy in our big purple bus. LOL
So here is the beginning stages. There was a lot of fabric.
This is Dariens blanket. I love the colors but I love the denim on the top even more. I love making these rag blankets because it doesn't matter if there are a couple of mistakes because you can't see them. :)

I am sure you can guess that this one is Keagans. This one my mom and really like because how the colors look with the denim.

It was great to have my mom here at Christmas because she was a huge help in sewing all the little squares together. Yes, Rylans is purple and blue.

My boys have some very confident colors and I think that it is great. I got to pick out Stefans colors. It was really fun to make these for my boys. Now all that is left is to make mine and Jamies out the the remnants. It should be fun. My next project for the bus is changing all the curtains and cushion covers to make it look really retro. I am looking forward to it when we head out to my moms in the bus for Spring break. I can't wait.

Soothers

Yes, Stefan's drug of choice is the soother. It is a hard habit to break but really is that not the cutest thing? I sure think so.
I was cleaning and came down stairs to find my baby had gone upstairs gotten his soother and blankie and had fallen fast asleep. We are planning on taking it way next week when Jamie is home each evening. I will let you know how it goes. He is really good about only having it at night but it is just about time. I think that I am having a hard time with it because he is my last baby. The other day I called him that and he was so choked that I called him that he said "no I not your baby I Befan" (yes that is how he says his name) So Cute!!!

Out Door Fun!!!

Yes, there is still snow in Alberta. But at least it is warming up enough so that we can go outside and play for a little bit each day. What makes it even better is that the girls are walking now.
Keagan is digging for his treasure. I don't think he found it or we would be running some were warm. LOL

Stefan has a major snow eating problem. I have tried telling why he can't eat, even using the old dogs might have peed or pooped in it but now all he says is "a dogy has been in here" and then eats it. I just can't win. LOL

This is my favorite time of the year for taking pictures outside because the natural light just makes the pictures just look so cool. Stefan had stamped his face with a kiss stamp early on during the day and you can see them all over his face.

I just love these kids. They are so cute.

My black eyed boy.

KL is looking so pretty. I had a hard time getting them to look at the camera but they still look cute.

Sadly Darien was at a friends house so I didn't get one of him and by the time I got one of KR she was done and a little sad. LOL

Dangerous Party

So you think that when you send you child to a birthday party that they will have fun and come home with a goody bag, little did we know that when we sent Keagan to his last party that he would come home with a black eye.
For this party they went sledding and Keagan hit the one child with a helmet on his head. LOL

Plus he got pushed into a chair. Needless to say he ended up with a real shiner. Poor guy. He had a good time. The only problem is though that the little girl that is usually really mean to him was there. But at the end of the day he came home with a pretty good goody bag and so he was happy. LOL

Mardi Gras Party

So here we are with the beads, hats and masks. This was a night that we were all really looking forward to. Our dear friends the Hatch's planned this great party and it was a blast.
Keith and Matt both served their missions in Louisiana and so they were both really excited about this night. Keith even special ordered crawfish all the way from Louisiniana.

Here they are cooking away.

The masked banditos. LOL It was so great to hang out with our friends. There was a lot of laughter going on this night.

Matt showed us how to eat the crawfish. So funny. You have to pinch the tail, pull the head off, suck the head, and then get the meat out of the tail like a crab leg. It was really fun. I really enjoyed them but Jamie could only handle one and then he was done. LOL

Amber and Keith digging in. Hmmmmmm.....

Lets get eating!!! This was such a fun night. Thanks Matt and Shawna for planning such a great night and we can't wait for next year.

Pretty As Can Be

Here are my little models. Have you ever seen anything as cute. KR here doing her modeling.
I love the look in KL eyes. She is always thinking about what she can do to get into trouble. We got these little dresses at Disney Land when we were there in Dec. but it has been to cold for the girls to wear them. But I was tired of waiting to they got to model them.

Seriously, it just doesn't get any better than this. LOL I must admit that I am enjoying the pink. LOL
