Dissapointment

Ugh! Things haven't been overly great here the last little while. One reason.. my laptop has bit the dust :( I loved that laptop! I could sit in the living room upstairs, and be online. I didn't have to come down here to the family room to use the desktop, which is old and decrpit. :( R.I.P laptop!

The other reason... both kids and myself have colds :( Ashlyn went to the farm last week and spent a couple days with my parents. My little brother had a cold. That's where it came from. My poor sick little ones. They are both currently passed out.

Other than that, not much is happening. Thanksgiving dinner with Dannys Fam got cancelled due to the host being sick also. We are looking forward to Halloween. We are taking the kidlets down to the pioneer museum where they are putting on a shindig for the kids. They still get candy, but there are fun and games and whatnot. My babies are a bit to young to enjoy it, but I thought it might be a fun way for us to do Halloween as a family. There are still key people we need to go pay a trick-or-treating visit to.
Here are some pics & video of the babes.

A Semi smile from the little man, who was looking at hiself in the mirror, thinking, DAMN, I look gooooood!

The first smile I was able to capture... I love his smiles, they help make my world keep turning, and my heart keep beating.

My poor sick little baby girl.

I love this picture... this is the mirror in his crib.

Gettin some extra cuddles from her mommy... mommies fix everything.

Rowan man in his crib playing... and complaining. :)

My baby girl is getting so smart!

Thanksgiving Weekend

This weekend was Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend (for those of you who don't know, we celebrate American Thanksgiving too). What a fun weekend. Shelby came home from college, and stayed with us, and helped snuggle the babies while I cooked my very first turkey. The food was awsome, everything turned out great. It was nice having the family all together for a dinner. :)

I have so much to be thankful for! I am very thankful that my family is healthy again, after the nasty flu bug we got. Everyone down to the baby was sick for almost a whole week. I have an amazing family, and extended family that is here to support us every step of the way. I am very thankful that we are lucky enough to have family that is willing to help out surrounding us.

Rowan is being a very good baby. He usually goes to bed around 11pm, and sleeps for 4hrs straight. Then he wakes up, nurses, get a bum change, and is right back to sleep for another 3hrs. Then he wakes up, nurses, get a bum change, and is right back to sleep for another 2hrs. 9hrs of sleep I can deffinately deal with :) Ashlyn sleeps in till 9ish, so I am getting lots of sleep. Ashlyn is doing amazing having a little brother. She is so helpful, even though she is only 20 months old. She's starting to talk in sentences. It's so amazing.

I have to tell this Ashlyn story. The other night Daniel was getting her bottle ready, and I asked her to find her sucky and blankie. She did, clueing in it was bedtime. She waved to me and said "Nigh-Nigh" and headed off to bed (which isn't unusal, Ashlyn likes to go to bed, and often puts herself there when she is tierd.) She went in her room, and ditched her bankie, came back running around the corner with the biggest grin on her face, and said "good morning!!!". It was soo freaking cute. I love that kid.

Well here are some pictures from this weekend. Next weekend we are having Thanksgiving with Daniels side of the family, so more pictures to come!

Fall

I apologize for not blogging for a very long time!! It's kind of a funny story. I forgot the email address that I picked for this account. Then one day someone emailed me a joke, that they had also emailed to my google account, and presto! I was able to sign in!

So here we are at fall. Baby Rowan has made his grand entrance, Ashlyn's almost 21 months old, Danny's still working hard at Gerry's, and I am enjoying being a mommy to two. They keep me busy! I am also caring part time for a 3 year old girl, and a 1 year old boy. :) The extra money is nice, and Ashlyn enjoys the playmates....most of the time! HA HA!

Ashlyn is getting so big! She has started talking in two word sentences now! Her favorite color is yellow, her favorite animal is a dinosour, and she loves her little brother. He is always the first thing she asks about when she gets up... just making sure he is still here. If he cries, she makes sure I know, and am going to go make him happy. She really enjoys helping bath him, but she can`t understand why his ``peepee`` sticks out instead of in like hers... she always tries to correct this little problem! HA HA!

Shel's moved out. *sniff sniff* She's all off to college and growing up! I am very proud of her, even though we all miss her here. I know she has to have her own life, and get an education, and that I can't keep her here locked away forever!

This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving, and this year its going to be at my house. I'm a little unsure if I will be able to get everything organized and cooked in time, so Shelby is coming to help me :) Ashlyn will enjoy having her around, and I will appreciate the extra help for the weekend. Not Sure if Danny`s working the weekend or not yet.

Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment!
