Off to the mountain...

Our sweet preteen drama queen is off to the big Whistler Mountain this morning.  Growing up so quickly and learning how to snowboard.  I hope she has a great time and loves it as much as her brother does.

I'm working in a new office now due to an unfortunate turn of events and am meeting some fabulous people that I would never have grown so close to.  It has turned out to be a fun adventure.  Long hours but with good people.

Our girls are enjoying their new dance routines and year end costumes are paid for.  They are doing great and it's turned out to be an excellent choice for both of them.

The adventurous teenager of ours is off to Big White soon for the big spring break holiday.  Always a big highlight for him.  He can exercise his passion for snowboarding.

Dancing their drama out...

Musical theater is where my girls are headed.  They burn off energy and gain new skills to channel their drama through.  Let the practicing begin... First class down for one and the little one goes next week.  Very exciting for her.

Feb 3rd it's been 10 years baby...and raised 3 kids...

It's like a rollercoaster but we hang on tight and we've worked soooo hard.  Marriage and parenting are the hardest things I've ever done.  Going to work everyday...that's the easy part.  They are all worth every second of it though.  I can't wait for all the years to come as our family grows and the celebrations get bigger.  My favorite part of having my 3 kids is looking forward to the huge Christmases when they bring all their spouses home for celebrations.  It's starting already.  The fuller the house the funner we have.

Time to get my peanuts ready for school...

Super Bowl Party...

Cousins...Family...Fun...Food...what more could we ask for.  Fun all around.  The kids running around in fear that all of their cousins cannot come if they don't clean up.  lol  Truth be told I don't even really know for sure if it's football or not that is of the super bowl sort.  ha  I just get things ready and visit...I'm not a spectator.  My husband has been planning this for months.

We took our little sweet pea on an adventure to Ikea...loaded up the shopping cart and she is wowwed with her new finds in her bedroom.  It was fun for her to pick out some pieces that she loved to decorate her bedroom.  Although daddy let her get a sheepskin rug that they both fell in love with...ha she says she feels like a princess.  If that's all it takes then that's what I love.

Last weekend our adventure was to Granville island market to visit the kids market and get some live crab for dinner than night.  The kids had a blast.  The preteen found a hello kitty doll that she had to have and our little one found an indestructible piggy bank like we have been searching for so she can empty and refill to count and re count her money over and over and over again.  At this age for our girl this is a must have.  How much do I have now is a big question for this little banker.  Unfortunately her previous piggy banks have all broken on her with many tears to follow.  So she is happy now and piggy lives happily on her desk.  The kids each had friends over for dinner to enjoy the smashing crab experience.  Fun was had by all and laughter was screeching through the house.  They loved it.  A definite must do for the sheer enjoyment of the experience and deliciousness of it all.  The kids friends were very impressed. 

My pictures have been swallowed up by my laptop I think.  I need to figure out where my camera sent them to on here.  UGH  The people a The Lobster Man where we got the crab made the preteen take pictures with hello kitty and the live crab.  It was very funny.  They offered her two lobsters in trade for hello kitty. lol  She was not going to bite on that trade.  We thought she was a nut.  The little one pet the crabs and we laughed as she squealed with fear that it might chase her.  Then we taped daddy singing silly songs all the way home and he didn't even know it.  All he said was "that better not end up on facebook" lol

Yay uh game sports day.  lol
