WOW 100 posts

so I was going to go write a cool blog about Joshua and then I noticed that this was the 100th post so I thought I would WOW I can't belivie I have that much to say! I love being able to talk about my kids I am not sure how many people read about us but I enjoy looking back and laughing and having a few tears over hard times! The last couple of years have been a huge rollorcoaster and I know we are not even close to it being a gentle ride yet, but at the same point I am okay with that, i have been working at superstore this week, today was actually my 4th shift and I thought it would be great for me to get out and have a break but let me tell you there is really no break doing the customer service area, people are so rude and most need a boot to the head, and I know members are not perfect either but it is sad when you trully feel like someone is mader at you just because you are a member and not moving quicker and helping the above everyone else, we will see how this goes, I am at this point not thinking it is worth the money or my time cause I have come home all 4 days more angry then when I went there, and it has taught me to look at my own life a little different! Heavenly Father knew I could do this and my number 1 job in life right now is to raise my family that is my full time job and my part time job it is not one I get paid for in a dollar value but it is trully the best job in the world I love my kids and I love my husband!

I am going to put Joshua's cool picture here, Dallin's in home worker left 2 dinosaurs on friday for them to play with and Joshy felt the big one was hungry and where do we go when we are hungry

oh many bowls of ice cream do you need....

the start of the eveing what a funny girl she is!

so superstore had these little icecreams on sell for 1.00 for dollar days so we picked up a few as a treat for the kids after dinner we can each child a little bowl full and both Dallin and Joshua had what they wanted and then this is what happened!

how many bowls did she clean up?

but she enjoyed herself so much and was sad when it was all gone!

two for the day!

Before going outside!

so David took the boys out to play and Sara wanted to go for a bit but that did not last long and this is why

Otherwise the snow is coming down really hard here and the wind is getting worse.....but the boys had so much fun! so here is there fun afternoon with there day

the watching of the boys playing!

Sara and I did a couple videos of the boys from inside where it was warm!

David should learn to be more careful with these kids :) but lucky they enjoy the snow which makes this so much fun....

I so love my kids and my husband, it is fun to watch them play and grow together, I am going to enjoy watching David learn different things well I am working nights, I know the first bit will be tough for all but I know this is something I need to do so I can truly learn to enjoy my life again, I spend alot of time working and focusing on my kids that I have forgot about me! and I need to remember me and send sometime on me every once in awhile!

a sunday snow day

this is what we woke up too and it is still going!

With my back not doing so well and it snowing again we decided to stay home today and have a family day! mainly i really wanted to sleep and not do much to see if my back would feel better but as I layed here I decided I wanted some monster cookies! so we made some and all the kids helped and loved it I made a double batch but when you are making them big it does not go very far and way this is some pictures from the morning!

Sara eating cookie dough not to sure how this all works yet, and the boys helping make cookies

Sara watching she was so excited!

The final results of our cookies......

when you don't hear kids after cookies are out of the oven this is what you make find!

I am Selfish!

I know that this may come a shock to some but I am in a selfish mood latley and here is why......I know that we are suppose to go back to calgary, to be closer to our families
1. to help my mom with her health a bit as much as I can between my life!
2. to get more support for us, and our kids as I am burnning out alot latley which in turn makes you a BAD mom!
3. for David to be able to live one of his dreams
There are many more reason but those are some of the major ones.

Now for those of you that do know the whole story Philp(my father in law) has been talking about moving for along time now to some small place so he can make lots of money to retire with as that point in there life is coming up! So the other day I got on my street map finder thing that tells me how far and how long it will take to get somewhere and lots of other cool things, well needless to say it made me cry because his close spot is 9hrs and 45 mins a way from calgary and the other place was 14hrs, I knew at this moment the support I would need would be gone because I would not just be able t0 drive for the weekend like we do too Calgary from Edmonton and really this is the family that we have that can come at a drop of the hat and help when we need right now because they have car type thing, being in Calgary would be a bit different because then my parents are there too and could help but still one of my main supports would be gone! I have tried really hard not to say much because I know they need to do what is right for them but at that same point there is a huge part of me yelling out NO YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED, I need you and so do my kids! My kids are finally getting to the point where they are excited when they hear anything to with grandma and grandpa, it just makes me sad to think if they do move even for a couple years it would be a long long couple years.......and there are many other reasons why i do not want them too move but they are all mine, okay this post is all about ME! I am the reason for all things this week! I think a huge part of all of this is just being so burnt out myself and needing that extra set of hands at apts, and driving to different things I just can't do it all and I want to have more time to be able to do more therapy with my kids but that means I need someone else to be helping with my other kids! okay I am going to stop but I am putting in my last comment......WENDY AND PHILP YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MOVE AWAY FROM US! (I love you and I am sorry it is just my feelings, and I have shed many many tears over the thought of you moving)

Excited

So excited are we to get to go see Thomas, and when the boys totally understand that YES thomas is here it will be so worth it, we are so grateful for Grandma and Grandpa Mousir who made it so we were able to go as this was more money then we were currently able to afford!
We are grateful for all the do for us, even when we don't say much.





our time is May 3 at 3:40!

hopefully the last bit of snow for the year!

I thought since there was a bit more snow and it was warm we should get out and enjoy it because there is a different type of play when there is no snow to throw at others! The kids enjoyed going for about a 10min walk on the sleds and then they slid down the small hill for awhile till they were wet and tired!

here is a couple movie clips too!

Spring Break.....and a new swing

I really want to know why they call spring break a break, it is more work then ever to have your kids home and trying to keep everyone happy and the fighting down to a min. But for the over all it was a good week the boys were happy with the swing that Bonnie there PT at school lent us for the week, they have got great use out of it and I can tell it has made a huge difference to have some change, I think it is cause they are so use to there gym at school changing all the time so I am on the look out for another good swing idea.....or something cool to hang that would help as a camling tool, as ways this is what the basment looked like this week!

(the tote is actually a rice bin to play in I think next it will be sand!)

I know my kids are a blessing they add so much to my life! and they are helping me to see the things that are the most important in life!

I have also added a video of them in the basment as it is kinda fun to watch them go around at times.
