Curious Kitten

Here are a few very cute pictures of Honey. She is interested in EVERYTHING, especially toes hidden under blankets, chasing her tail at 2am in the middle of our bed, climbing the laundry rack, chasing the little cars that the boys whizz past her, and surprising poor Cody as he is walking through the house. Her favorite places to sleep are curled up with Cody, on Russells pillow, under Dylans blankets and in Taylers crib.

She has really become one of the family, you can always find her very close to the kids, yesterday I found her sleeping on top of the computer monitor as the boys are playing computer games.

She is a very loved little girl.

Fossil Hunters

Dylan and Russell have been looking for fossils in every rock they find, since our trip to the musuem in NYC. They both spend lots of time hammering any rocks to find fossils. This picture was taken on Pender. Ed and I had gone for a drive with Tayler and left the boys with Grandma and Grandpa. Since they have found a few interesting items while building their house, the boys figured they might find something too.

So Grandma suited them up and Grandpa supervised.

Grandpa told them that, if they didn't find any fossils (the boys had him check all the big pieces they chipped off, just to be sure) they were making good gravel for the driveway

Pictures from Pender

Here are some pictures from New Years day on Pender - a few the boys took of Magic lake.

Wow Happy New Year!!

Times flies! We have had a great xmas and New year. Ed and I hosted christmas breakfast for 10 adults and our 3 kidlets. It was really nice to have everyone come to us and not rush the kids out before they could play with their new toys. We spent the afternoon with Eds parents - we went for a walk and had a quiet afternoon. Tay fell asleep on our walk, so I stayed at home for a while with the kids and let them get powered up for the upcoming evening. Ed and his parents went up to Mom and Dads to watch a movie before supper.

We had a wonderful turkey dinner with all the trimmings and a fantastic dessert -Trifle and christmas pud with custard sauce. We decided this year to open presents before dinner so we could eat in peace and the kids won't bug everyone for when it was present time. The kids were having so much fun - and I was trying desparately to keep track of who got what. The leapsters (similar to a gameboy ) were a HUGE hit with the boys and will make travelling very quiet and easy. Matt and Leanne gave them build a bear gift certificates. Just as the name sounds you go choose a bear or animal from a huge assortment and then you stuff them name them and dress them. The boys choose Cheetahs and and Tay choose a pink cheetah (pinky) and they love them !!

Unfortunately I have very few pictures as my camera died before xmas. I have a few from Eds mom thank goodness.

We spent New years with Eds parents on Pender island - we had a sleepover as the boys call it. It was very nice we did lots of visiting and went to the beach and for walks very relaxing.
