countdown to Christmas
My sister reminded me that I have not got any pictures of Halloween up or Nolan's 2nd Birthday. I thought I better get some up before Christmas.
Nolan turned 2! We celebrated with a Cowboy Birthday. This boy was excited to have his birthday. I wish I knew how to upload video because the smile on his face is priceless. He is still singing Happy Birthday Nolan two weeks later. Brooklyn likes to remind him that his birthday is over so he can stop singing.
Hope you enjoy the pictures. There are a couple from Halloween. Nolan refused to wear his costume - he was supposed to be a scarecrow. Jenna was Claudeen Wolf from Monster High and Brooklyn was Sharpay from High School Musical. They had a great night of trick or treating.
Hopefully I will get the Christmas pictures up a little quicker.

our big move
We are settling nicely in to Okotoks. Jenna has started Grade 2 and seems to be enjoying it. Brooklyn goes to preschool M,W, and F afternoons. She loves it. Both girls are enjoying gymnastics as well. Nolan tags along where ever we go, sometimes not very willingly. He is learning to talk and amazes us with some of the words he can say.
Our summer was beautiful, and so was September. However, once we turned the calendar to October, we have been reminded that it is fall. Brooklyn still insists on wearing her flip flops (I have gotten my monies worth on those!) and Jenna asks everyday if she can wear shorts to school. It seems just when you get them used to one season it changes again. Oh well!
We hope that you enjoy the pictures from the last couple of months.

It has been a while since the last post. I read other blogs and everyone seems so whitty and interesting. I always think I will have some wonderful words but nothing ever comes to me, so I better just get something up.
We are almost half way through 2011 (yet I still find myself writing 2010 at work). Jenna is almost finished Grade One. She had a great year and did very well. However, she is ready for summer holidays and waiting for sleep-in days. Brooklyn is also waiting for summer holidays so that Jenna can stay home and play with her. The first question Brooklyn asks me each morning is "Does Jenna have school?".
Brooklyn had her first dance recital at the beginning of May. She did a fabulous job and looked beautiful. She had a great day, and for a girl who I can hardly get to sit still long enough to eat supper, she was more than patient when I had to French Braid her hair. She even refers to the day as `Brookie`s Dance Day`.
Little Nolan is not so little anymore. In fact he was 18 months on the 1st of June. His new favorite past time is driving the car. Which, has actually worked out ok because if I am doing something in the yard, he is contained. He likes to keep up to his big sisters too, and they are usually pretty good about letting him in on the action.
Here are some pictures for you to see what we have been up to in the last few months.

Nolan is One!
Well, our baby is one! So exciting, but sad at the same time. He is cruising around all the furniture and loves the phone, remote, tv, and stereo. Pretty much anything he is not supposed to touch is what he wants. The girls still adore him and are wonderful big sisters. They were very excited for his birthday as well. Brooklyn was particularly worried about whether or not he would be able to blow out his candle. In the event that he was unable to blow the candle out, she wanted to be first in line to carry out the task. We did a count down and everyone blew at the same time, so it all worked out.
Here are some birthday pictures, along with some other ones. I hope you all enjoy.

Fall 2010
Today is October 31. I always feel like Halloween is the end of fall, even though winter doesn't officially begin for a couple of weeks.
Fall has been busy. Jenna started Grade One and has been pretty excited about school everyday since. She loves it! Brooklyn would also love to go to school, but unfortunately, they don't allow 3 year olds in Grade One.
Nolan will be eleven months old tomorrow. He just finished off his first Halloween. He made it out trick or treating a bit, but was home early and off to bed. He is walking around all the furniture, but hasn't taken a step on his own yet. He is constantly entertained by his sisters, especially Brooklyn.
Brooklyn is also a pretty busy little girl. She started dance this fall and is really enjoying that. There is a tap class after her ballet class, and she tells me every time that she wants those clicking shoes. I told her we would keep that in mind for next year.
Anyways, here are some new pictures. The Halloween costumes were done by Grandma again and looked fantastic. Thanks Grandma!!
