Happenings.....

I am a little behind here so here is my attempt to catch-up....

Grandma Dibble came to visit in April over her birthday weekend.  It was fun to have her even though it snowed the entire weekend!

Italian Cream Cake for the birthday Grandma!

Playground fun!
 
Hunter loves to slide!

Feasting

Haley is playing U4 soccer on a co-ed team.  They are the Purple Dragons.  She is kicking the ball in the picture.

Warm-up drills.  She is really enjoying it!

Spring clean-up in the yard!

Haley & I made guacamole to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!  It was delicious!
 
We accompanied Steve on a business trip to Houston in May.  Hunter was good and enjoyed watching lots of shows on the DVD player.

Haley played on her LeapFrog LeapPad.

Cooling off on the couch with some juice!

Haley made and decorated cupcakes with Grandma & Grandpa.  She loved it!

Hunter coloring at the table I received when I was about his age.

Hunter was obsessed with Eddie.  He really loves animals.

Helping Grandpa water his plants.

And getting a little wet!
 
We bought the kids a picnic table for the patio.

Playing in their "hide-out" as Haley calls it.

Family walk in Griffith Woods in our neighborhood.
 
More playground fun!
 
Riding the lion at the Calgary Zoo.  We went for the first time since we returned.  Kids LOVED it!
 
It's a bear...ROOAARR!

Brainwashing at an early age!  Hook'em Horns!

We spent the better part of today acting out the story of Cinderella.  Many chores were done like wiping down the house with a damp sponge, dusting, picking up toys, and cooking food all so she could attend the ball.  At the ball, she danced with Prince Charming and ran off leaving one glass slipper at midnight.  Luckily Prince Charming found Cinderella and they were married and lived happily ever after.  We acted the entire story out twice.  (It rained all day.)  Prince Charming was not very cooperative and I had to step in quite a bit and fulfill both the roll of the Evil Stepmother and Prince Charming.



Happy Summer!

Happy Easter

Easter basket goodies!
Easter morning.   The child loves remotes.
The Easter Bunny put Cheddar Bunnies in some of the eggs.  Haley thought that was so funny!

Eating Easter treats!  
Mmmmmmmm....M&M's
All dressed up!
We had a very low key Easter.  The Easter Bunny paid us a visit and left some fun goodies and treats for Haley & Hunter.  I made a ham, cheesy potato casserole, and green beans with sauteed mushrooms.  It was yummy.  We stayed busy most of the day with our new books and watched the movie Brave the Easter Bunny left for us!
Hunter watched off and on.  Kept himself busy with books too.
Haley enjoyed it!

Happy Easter to everyone!

Family Pictures



We took a day off while unpacking and went out to Lake Louise with Grandma Sue & Grandpa Tom.  A few pictures were posted previously that were from my phone.  These were one my camera.  I really like the last one!

Happy 4th Birthday Haley

Haley turned FOUR on January 21st!  Time flies.  We hosted her party at an indoor play place called Wonderwild.  It was the perfect place!  I guess I was too busy talking that I didn't take any pictures of the playtime.  She had so much fun and still talks about all of her friends back in Texas.  It is so sweet.
