Just A Few More

Okay... one last photo of "the bike".

Dann likes this photo better than the one I posted.

I guess it does look nice with the sun in the back ground.

Too bad the sun wasn't a bit hotter (melt all the white stuff so he could go ride the darn thing).

Heck, he'll spend more time washing that bike this summer than he does is truck!

Time for ANOTHER hair cut Ethan!

Grandma Helen & Papa Harley got this scarf for Emma, but Ethan likes to wrap himself up with it too.  

Look at those pretty little eyes.

Emma was asked to be a flower girl at her cousin Krista's wedding this July.  She is excited and I was too (especially when I found this new dress on line for $25.88).

I scooped it up right away.

The little flowers/ribbons are attached with pins, so we will change the green ribbon to smoky grey (colour of the bridesmaid's dresses).

It is a very simple & elegant!

PERFECT!

It would appear we will have to work on Emma's pose position with her feet.  As you can see above & below, those feet are turned in.  

Emma went shopping with her X-Mas Gift Card from her Uncle Dean & Auntie Claudia (Chandler & Richelle too).

She purchased a "Hannah Montana" hoody & skirt/tights.

She has worn it everyday since Saturday...

YIKES!

January At A Glance

I finally got the camera working and was able to down load some photos.  

I get frustrated though, some photos down load to my blog sight fast, while others take forever or come back saying down load unsuccessful.  

Anyone out there in blogger world who can give me some advise on why some photos down load while others don't???

Anyhoo... 

Here are some photos for the month, starting with the most recent!

Here is Dann's Christmas present, which he is in love with.  Santa (aka: Dann's over time cheque) was very kind with this little lady.  Dann cannot wait for the snow to melt!

Emma had a skating party at school yesterday and Ethan had to try on her helmet to make sure it was safe!

Dann was parenting this day... who says girls only enjoy dressing their kids?

I love my two "Super Boys"!!

While I was working, Dann took the kids out for a play in the snow (the temps finally got warmer).

I love this photo of the kids... our genetic pool seems to have complemented them well!

There is no doubt that these two kiddies are siblings, Ethan looks so much like Emma when she was two (minus the red hair).

Here is Emma giving me her best "Hannah Montana" pose.

Emma had two Birthday Parties this year.  The two photos below were at the gymnastics club with her school friends...

Emma collected an extra large rubber mate tote of food for the food bank at this party (instead of presents).  Emma was pretty proud of herself when she dropped off her Birthday donation at the food bank!!

Ethan "hamming in up" for the camera... nudie dudie!

The photos below were from Emma's 6th Birthday Party at our house (a couple friends and some pizza & yummy ice cream cake to follow).

The beautiful blond is a good friend of mine... Anita.  Her little girl Kaley and Emma are very close.

Present time...

Emma & Darby

The yummy cake!

Emma got this Birthday Ribbon at school from her teacher.

Ethan has a pop out book which came with animal masks.  He loves it when we all put them on and dance around!

Ethan is officially "Potty Trained".  It took about one week for it all to click in and we only use pull ups (night time underwear) for sleeping.  

He is darn proud of himself and so are we!

Here is one of the only photos I have of Christmas this past year (bad M-J).  We were all sick, so the camera did not seem to make an appearance as much as it should have.  

Oh well!
