A little Daddy time

So, as mentioned in the previous entry, Jenna and Brody got Jay an Alien lab for his birthday. Today they played with him and had so much fun.
Jenna was so excited when we told her they were going to play with Alien guts after Family Home Evening. She kept saying "I'm sooooooo excited."
When Jay tried to scare the kids and said that the aliens were going to eat them, Jenna said "Dad they're not real" she was so not impressed that he tried to trick her.

Turns out even grown ups can have fun with toys meant for 5 year olds.








The last photo is Brody caught in the act of eating chocolates. I thought he was hiding in the closet to do "some business", but when Jay yelled out to him "Brody what are you doing in the closet", and honest two year old said "I'm just eating my chocolate."
It was pretty funny.

A Crazy Day

Okay so today was Jay's birthday. Aren't birthday's supposed to be wonderful and happy and everything goes right................WRONG!
Jay had a pretty good day, he's such a good sport; me on the other hand had a pretty rough day.
It all started at 3am when Owen woke up and was hungry. I fed him and was surprised that he fell right back asleep. So I was excited to go back to sleep myself, well that didn't happen.
Jenna woke up and said she felt sick. After a few times of putting her back in bed, I found out that she was just hungry. I fed her some food and put her back to bed.
After a couple of minutes she was back in my room and was cuddling with me in bed (I can't resist a cuddly child).
Laying on me and laying beside me, I don't think either one of us had much sleep.
Then Owen woke to eat again and Brody came into our room.
Well the day just started a little too early for me.
Finally I got up to make Jay some pancakes. We had a good breakfast.
The kids were excited to give Jay their present. They had picked out a Alien Creating Set. I think you can make little aliens out of some kind of goo and put them in molds and then play with them. Jenna thought Jay would like it. I think really she wanted to play with it, but it will be fun for them to do together.
Then Jay went off to work. I was exhausted all morning.
After lunch I made all the kids have a nap. I needed a shower desperately. Luckily they all slept and I showered, cleaned the living room and made Jay's cake (well not really cake).
I had a couple recipes printed on the same piece of paper and I didn't realize I was making Texas Brownies until I read "spread mixture onto a cookie sheet". I was so confused because I was making a chocolate cake, but really I had been following the directions to make Texas Brownies. Oh well, Jay was getting a brownie cake I guess.
I made the best of my mistake and decorated it like a BlackBerry, because Jay is obsessed with his.
I made supper and then off we went to go bowling as a family, but what I didn't know is that apparently on Thursday's it's League Bowling, so no lanes were open. Woops, I should have checked that first.
So we went to West Ed to go bowling at Ed's, well that didn't work out either. So we ended up walking around and Jay got some cool Japanese things at T&T Market.
(Oh I also forgot my camera on our outing, I always forget something)
We got home and were going to have some of my family over for cake (brownies) and ice cream, but my brother Mike didn't give anyone the message to come over.
So I was sitting waiting for people and no one was coming. I called over to my parents house and luckily some of my family was able to come over and eat with us.
I told Jay that if this had happened on my birthday I would have been crying and also if this would have happened when I was pregnant I would have been crying, luckily none of those pertain, so I didn't cry.
Jay didn't mind all my mix-ups and mistakes, he is one great and wonderful husband.
So Happy Birthday Jay, we will go bowling another time!
I love you.

My cute little Man


Listen carefully it's so funny.

Random





Well I thought I'd just put up some random pictures for all of you that haven't seen our family in a while.
Jay's birthday is tomorrow and Jenna's is in May so I'm getting excited to celebrate both. I'm taking the kids today to pick out a present for Jay, we'll see what they come up with. It will probably be a toy they want, but it will be fun to give it to their dad and then he can play with them with "his" present.
Stay tuned for pictures of that.

So Sorry










To all those who diligently blog, so sorry.
I'm pretty bad I guess at doing this, hence the last time I posted it was a year ago.
Woops.
Well we have had a busy few months with the addition of a new baby and a trip down to Lethbridge for a wedding.
Here are some of my favorite pictures.
I hope you all enjoy.
I will honestly make a real effort to blog a little more frequently than last year.
