Jenna's Piano Recital

Here is Jenna at her first piano recital.

Brooklyn's Birthday

Brooklyn turned 5!  She has been pumped about turning 5 ever since she turned 3.  This is a big milestone for her.  She is already wanting to count down sleeps until Kindergarten, but I think we have a few too many to go before we do a countdown.

She had a great time at her birthday party and I hope that you enjoy the pictures.

This is the happiest birthday boy ever!

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.

October 6, 2011

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.
