way behind

Well we moved and Christmas has come and gone, I am going to try to get on here this week and update our live for everyone, with kids and husband home it makes it a tone harder to get much done, and well the fact that we just moved and then went to Clagry for christmas and then came back to Edmonton to finish with the old place to the start to unpack this place has been a HUGE thing for us all
Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Time

Well we headed down to Calgary just after the boys were done school....and wow it was a fun time! I always struggle being away from my home as I trully am a creature of my own habit and being in someone elses home is very hard after awhile.....Anyways Christmas was AMAZING, we got more than we very dreamed of and the kids got tons too, as I had told David's parents that I was not doing christmas this year with the move on the 15th how would I ever find everything for christmas, and so they blessed us and did everything for us really, we will and are eternally greatful too them as they saved our christmas, We trully are thankful for them being able to help us this year, it is grattidue I will never trully be able to show how I mean, but I am learning each day how to show feelings more and more!

Feild Trip for Joshua

today the kids in Joshua's room went to the Gymnastics club as a field trip they got to play on lots of different things and too get all there wiggles out Joshua really enjoyed this field trip as both David and I went as Sara was sick and didn't go to her apt and David was off from work on his 2 weeks off so it was fun as he was good with David for awhile and then he wanted to switch back......he is trully a funny child but we love him so dear! and David got to ride the Yellow bus with him and I drove there! much nicer I really do not like the yellow buses!

MOve Day

Well this was as fun as well any move..............no I have to say this was one of our worst ones as I just could not get it all together it was just so hard for me, as 1. I don't stay home nearly enough and 2. I can't pack really well my kids are around so this does not leave me alot of time! The ward was awsome and provided some babysitters for some afternoons but still 3 kids, a husband and a move in 3 weeks was alot, anyways about we got the keys to the new place about 10am and then we wait for shaw to come and hook up that part of life and then we went and got the truck and then it was time for the move to begin now, my plan was to have the kids gone before people got there, but I was behind on time, and this is one thing anyone who really knows me knows this drives me nuts but I am learning with my kids that I sometimes have to allow melt down time, but sadly those who were helping move forgot to think about that as they were pushing kids out of there way telling me they were in the way DUH really! and then they start freaking out because they don't understand where all there toys and stuff are going, this is HUGE thing for them so I took them to McDonalds with grandma and let them play for a bit, I know everything was not pack and there were people disappointed by that but life goes on.......and then besides that we soon learn that ooops we got to small of a truck from Uhaul, I know I ordered a bigger truck but they claim not oh well I say get the big stuff and we can move small stuff in the van! All done there off too the northside, we even get here a bit early nobody is here yet............call the men from the church no answer, call the bishop oh not home, try someone else oh wait he walks in 2 guys SWEET! they had it done in no time at all!

Now in all that don't get me wrong, the church is wonderful but sometimes the people need a little bit of work, but all and all we are soooooooooooooooooooooooooo greatful for all the help that we were able to get on both ends and we will trully miss Edmonton 6th/Greenfield Ward it was a great place to be and some amazing families in that ward, I am so greatful for the wonderful sisters that came to see me every month without a doubt, they trully made me understand what a true visiting teacher is, they trully became friends I couldn't wait to see, and I miss seeing them and knowing how they are doing........

David's off for Christmas

David is now off form tonight till Jan 7th it will be fun to have him home helping me out a bit, somedays I just want a break from life so we will see I hope to get unpacked before he goes back to work!

A shock for all!

Today we learned that Joshua is Legally blind in his right eye, there is still some sight but not enough to work with his left eye, so we are now having to patch his left eye as it is perfect to try and force the right to work again, not sure how I totally feel about all of this ask me after his next check up as this eye patching stuff it sooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun he is supppose to wear it 6-8 hrs a day so far we can get it for school which is about 2 1/2 hrs a day........oh the joys of kids! Oh but let me tell you it does explain some things about little Joshua

the light show

Again this year the school did the light show as a feild trip at the world of sience and after last year I said I would never do this again and here we are going again......I am a sucker for punishment....Dallin did alot better this year with it, but Joshua on the other hand was done about 15 mins in and it was about a 45min show not sure why they take kids that young too it but it is fun for some of the kids I just think it is overwhelmming for mine......but all and all the kids enjoyed it and now I am sick for the spinning and the ride of the yellow bus I must be getting old!

Sara to the Glenrose

Back we go for another visit to see how she is doing, and once again she is doing amazing the only thing the said was her speech is down a bit but otherwise up to pace or ahead of her age group and they say the speech is down as we do more sign langauge with the kids then normal people would but her understanding is totally there so they are not worried ya for us for this visit!
