YAY Eastynn

Today was a big day. We went to Taylor's soccer game and she played so so well she is getting better every game she plays. Eastynn was very distracted throughout the game she said she had pooped and we had no diapers. So Fabian was going to take her home to change her and as they passed by the potty she asked to go potty and she did it she went pee pee in a port a potty. YAY Eastynn. Of course we made a big deal of it and about 10 minutes later she asked to go again and she did. YAY Eastynn. Big deal again. She came home and was bragging till we put her to bed so I think this maybe the beginning of the end of diapers.
That's all for now.

Operation Family Identification

Today at London Drugs they had Operation Family Identification. It was a free service that anyone with young children should try and do every year or every other year. We went in there filled out some info, go to the next station and then they got weighed and measured, then the next station and got finger printed and lastly the got there pictures taken. You get a kit and keep it in a safe place in case something were to happen to the kids. Very nice to have that little piece of mind.
The girls were good for the most part so they of course got a treat but that's okay.

She Is Her Mother's Daughter

Yesterday morning after Eastynn and I dropped Taylor off at school we went shopping. Taylor is in such desperate need of clothing I had to go out and splurge. We got her a ton of stuff. Some CK underwear, some Nike socks which were a super good deal only $3 for 3 pair, she got a Paul Frank shirt (it has a monkey on it), she got to Tommy Hilfiger polo shirts, a pair of shorts mini ungava I really like them, also a mini skirt from the same name, a pair of levi's shorts,and a really nice sweater which she will probably get for Christmas it was to good of a deal to pass up only $20 on sale and usually it would retail for $60. I also got her and Eastynn a matching out fit and Eastynn got some puma socks.

Later in the day we went to get shoes to match all her new clothes and this is where she made me feel bad for every time my mom took me shopping. She threw such a fit cause she wanted Hannah Montana shoes I couldn't even convince her to try anything else on. I did manage to find a pair of Hannah Montana flip flops for cheap so then she gave in and let me get her the shoes I wanted to get her.

As for Little E, I have found a ton of clothes from Taylor from when we splurged on her so she is set for the summer for the most part may need some shorts but we have tons of skirts so hopefully she can get away with just the skirts. Instead of buying Eastynn shoes I went to the condo to grab Taylor's old shoes and grabbed all of Taylor's shoes and all Eastynn's shoes I could get my hands on they have so many shoes it ridiculous I would say there is at least 40 pairs from infant to Taylor's size now possibly more.

That's all for now

Mother Day 2009

Mothers day was a little different this year normally Grandma C, mom, Heather, Velvet and I go to a mothers day brunch at the Lodge or another hotel, this year we went to Pam and Shane's. We had some KFC. Taylor and Eastynn played lots with Kennedy. I got some new clothes for mothers day some nice girl clothes which I love. It was a little sad I only got to spend a couple hours with my mom cause her dad and Fabian went to Calgary. Fabian has a course up there and dad has radiation up there as well.
It was also little Kingston's first birthday wasn't sure I was going to be able to see him but they stopped by for a little while.
We also got some pretty special news which I can't say online till the people it involves get to tell all the people they want to tell but its awesome, can't wait.

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers that I know and especially all the mommies who read this blog, love you all.

That's all for now.

ps I also forgot that on Friday Pam took the girls and mom to Kenny's dance recital they really loved it and Taylor is really wanting to go into dance now so hopefully we can do that soon as well. Eastynn loved it too but she will have to wait awhile till she can be enrolled in some dance classes.

Also Little E has figured out how to open doors so sleep hasn't been happening much lately so we had to go get some door knob covers from the condo otherwise she will get up at any hour of the night and just chill out by herself. Hopefully soon everyone will be on a normal schedule again.

Medicine Hat Dart League Banquet

Saturday was the MHDL banquet. It was nice dad got a trophy for high score 177 which is the highest score you can get with out hitting 3 triple 20's. I got a special award for a 170 out. Taff was also awarded with a special award and got a standing ovation. He's a pretty special guy to me and when I seen my dad get out of his wheel chair and stand I nearly cried. Mom and Dad didn't stay long sadly but we partied pretty hard after they left it was a great day.
That's all for now

Mothers Day Tea

On Friday I went to Taylor's school. The kids sang us some songs served us some treats and gave us a card it was so cute. The card made me cry and her teacher told me she wrote the To mom and love Taylor all by herself. The songs were very cute. I love that little munchkin and its always nice when me and her can do something one on one.

We also have got the girls registered for swimming lessons for the summer Eastynn is in one duck she still needs to have a parent with her when she is in classes so I made it in the evening so her and daddy can that class together because those to NEVER get one on one time. Taylor has back to back classes 2 weeks as a salamander and then 2 weeks as a sunfish. Its crazy next year she is going to seem so grown up. In school, swimming, soccer and maybe dance my baby is getting so big. And Brook you think time is flying by now wait till you baby is going to school and you go what just happened to the last 4 years.
That's all for now

Swimming Again with Papa and Grandma Mellor

On Friday we went to the pool again with Grandma and Papa. Since Papa isn't as good at walking anymore it was quite hard for him but thankfully he had a life jacket cause with the waves and the lazy river he got tossed about the pool. I think if we go earlier in the morning before they put on the waves it will be easier and more theraputic for him. So after getting smashed into the wall he went and sat in the hot tub. Eastynn and I sat in the tot pool. Grandma and Taylor stayed in the wave pool and I think those to had a great time and I think Grandma will be going to the pool again, she loves swimming.
That's all for now

Taylor and Soccer

Taylor has soccer every Monday and Wednesday. She is doing so well I am always so proud of her every time she is out on the field. She is also getting better every time she is one the field. She loves to play. All the little girls crack me up to no end you see about 10 face plants per game last game a girl even lost a shoe when she did her face plant. I love how all the little ones will talk to there parents from the field like they are the only ones there. A little girl at the last game took her fingers and pointed at her eyes then the ball and yelled at her dad. Did you like that I kept my eyes on the ball. So cute.

Swimming with Jay and Tyler

On Sunday May 3 we went to the pool with Jason and Tyler. Sadly daddy didn't come but the girls had a blast with Jason and Tyler. They even took Taylor on the rope, where you swing on it and land in a deep deep pool. Taylor tried did not to bad she forgot to let go every time but she will learn I am very proud that she is not scared of the water. Jason also showed off his diving skills to Tyler and Taylor while Eastynn and I waited in the tot pool.
That's all for now

We have been so busy with lots of stuff lately.
On Saturday May 2nd we had our 2nd annual Canadian Cancer Society. It was absolutely amazing. We raised an amazing $5244. Everyone had a great time. It was nice that we had some Chisholm's actually play Alex and Collin and they both did very well. Alex finished in the top 3 in the B side and Collin finished in the top 3 in the A side. My dad was down but unable to play but just his presence there was pretty awesome, his doctor even came down for awhile. Jason and Tyler also came from Calgary. It was very nice to even have Brian and Eva come down for it too, sadly the day after they got a phone call that Brian had lost his brother, Gerald, from Edmonton. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the Huber family.
I would like to thank everyone who just came down to show there support, those who played and those who helped run the tournament, even those who couldn't make it but donated without your support this tournament wouldn't have been successful.
That's all for now.
