Rock Band!

Us and my two brothers went in together and bought Rock Band and the Beatles Rock Band. We love getting together to play. Little did we know we would spark something in Nate. He absolutely loves it. He loves to sing, the guitar is a little hard for him to play right now, but he really loves to play the drums, and he's actually quite good at it. I was so surprised how quickly he caught on. He drums anywhere, anytime, on anything. I'll be blasting Carrie Underwood's "Cowboy Casanova" and Ty and I will be singing and dancing, McKenna will be dancing, and Nate will be either playing guitar, or drums, and he'll only sing the back up parts. Its so fun to see some of their talents start to emerge. Looks like we'll be needing to start some lessons!






Mom's of 3-5 year old girls, you might want to lock them up in a few years...he's going to be a hard one to stay away from!

Superheroes Unite!

We had a Superheroes theme for Nate's 5th birthday party. As you all know we had to cancel his party the weekend before because of a blizzard, so we moved it to the next weekend. Well, it snowed again and so his out of town cousins couldn't make it. It doesn't matter what we do it seems its inevitable that it will snow on the day of Nate's party. But we still went ahead with it and my brothers and sisters were able to make it. All the kids were dressed up as superheroes. Nate was Dash, Ty was Iron Man, Bella was a super fairy princess, and McKenna was super M-Doodie (which is what Nate calls her). We played some superhero games, busted open a spiderman pinuata and filled our treat bags with goodies, opened presents, and ate a yummy Batman cake. We had a blast, and Nate loved every minute of it. He was really wishing his Ben cousin's could be there though...maybe next year. We'll cross our fingers!

Happy 6 years!

Last weekend was mine and Ryan's 6 yr anniversary. We went to Calgary for the night. Went to the Cactus Club for dinner, and spent Saturday shopping! There was a huge sale at Old Navy so we picked up a lot of good stuff for the kids, and we even got ourselves a few things. I mean, c'mon...6 years...we deserve it! Thats something to be proud of! Thanks honey for the fun weekend, and my fabulous gifts!

Early Christmas Present!

Ryan and I have been wanting an elliptical for some time now. Ryan's been keeping an eye out for any on sale. Well, we finally found one the other day and its perfect. Now I can work out in my own home. I love it! Now I just need some hand weights and I'll be set to go. Who needs the gym.

Bummer

We were planning on having Nate's 5th birthday party today. His birthday isn't until the 11th but last year we planned it for the second weekend and we ended up having a blizzard and no one could make it. This year I thought I would be smart and plan it for the first weekend. I figured there would be less chance that we'd have snow, right...wrong. Again, we had to cancel his birthday party because of a blizzard. Poor kid. Hopefully it will be clear for next weekend. We felt bad because he was expecting a party, so we ate cake anyway and let him open his gift from us. We got him a leapster with a Backyardigans game to go with it. I think he loves it! He even had to plug the head phones into it!

Christmas Tree's and Fudge!

We put up our Christmas tree last night! It is so fun to watch the kids get excited for the little Christmas traditions that I remember so fondly as a child! They all participated in decorating the tree this year and had so much fun! Now its a chore just to get them to keep their hands off the tree, and they must have the lights on at all times! After we finished decorating we watched Mickey's twice upon a Christmas and then ended the night with eggnog and homemade fudge! Yum!
