Dance Competition

We spent the day at a dance competition, both Ember and Zander were preforming. It was a very good day, and I am very proud of my kids. Ember's first dance was her group hip hop, they danced to "Get your head in the game". They were dressed as basket ball players and had a basket ball as a prop. The won first in thier divison.

Zander was the next one to dance, he was dressed as a duck, and danced (tap) to the song " Splish Splash" They were so cute, Zander was in the centre of the stage with a huge smile. They didn't win first, but did awsome.

Ember had her tap performance next. they danced to the song "Crazy little thing". They did great again and walked away with another first place.
Ember decided to to a jazz duet this year, they danced to "Jail house Rock" They only had two hours of lesson time to learn the whole dance routine. They did some after hour practicing at home. They ended up winning second in their division.


Ember's last dance of the night was her goup jazz. They danced to "Girls just want to have Fun". The girls actually preformed a lift as part of their performance, it was suprising to see the girls do a lift at that age, but they did it great.They got third in this division. I was not able to get a pic of this outfit, not enough time between her duet and this one.

It was a long day for Zane, but he was a trooper and made it to the end, with just a little cat nap after supper.

I was not allowed to take pic when the kids were on stage, so i will try and get some video's and some better pics at the recital in April.

skiing

On March 14, I took Ember and Breann, one of Ember's fiends skiing at Mission Ridge. It was really nice out that day, and we had alot of fun. We started by taking a ski lesson and then took a lunch break. we hit the slopes again and did not stop until it they closed the runs.

the new me

I got my hair cut and colored, on Feb 21 and new glasses. how does it look??

Odie

We got a new puppy on February 16. He is a Chihuahua. He is just 15 week old now. We named him Odie.

valentines day

This is what i found when i woke up in the morning. under the red paper was rose petals, hearts and choolate.




This is what i got in my bag of presents.

after lunch we started to make costumes for our curling team. Our team name was hooters and shooters. the guys had the hooters and the girls had the shooters. We had arm bands that held shooter glasses but you cant really tell in the pic. the hats were our insentive to keep going. kinda like a horse and carrot, only for us it was a shooter glass.

Jay kept himself entertained by trying to catch the shooter glass at the end of the string. he didn't stop until he could do it.

The Queen

Ember was crowned Queen at the School Valentine day party. She also won three toys in different carnival games. She had good luck even though it was Friday the 13th.

I am out of shape

I took the boys toboggening when we were at Weyburn last week. It made me realize how out of shape I am. I would push the boys down the hill and then run to the bottom of the hill to get them. I had to pull the sled and Zane up the hill. after doing this for a little over a hour I was tired and was very happy to hear the boys wanted to go back home.

Can't Believe it!

Today is Zane's Birthday, i can't believe that he turned three today. He is growing up way to fast.

Busy but good day

yesterday we went in to Regina to go to Church and then had lunch at Laura and Wilf's house. After lunch we took the kids swimming. the kids had so much fun, we ended up staying for about two and a half hours, and Zane still did not want to leave. We did a little shopping and then had supper at Pizza Hut, the dessert at Dairy Queen. we got home about 7:45 and the kids were all sleeping by 8. all the swimming tired them out.

random pics from 2008

we got a little tent tailer last year and used it a couple of times, the kids loved it.

we went to drumheller in in July, there was so much to see. we tried to see as much as we could in a day.

We went to a pumpkin patch and corn maize just west of Regina, we did not pick a very warm day, the wind was really cold.
