3 in 1 birthday Party

the birthday party went great, I stressed as always but everyone seemed to have fun which was way nice, because all know that not everyone gets along, but with each year I put them all together a little nicer everyone gets which is good. I think it is just hard when your parents get divorced and one gets remarried and the other one doesn't to put them all in the same room because you never know what might make one unhappy or not....oh well here are some of the picutes......

the kids playing.......

a couple of the gifts! they LOVED everything the got this year!

a super hot day

Because it was so hot we thought it would be fun to add water to our time outside

Joshua moving like he was a bus or a car

Overall everyone had fun, till they got cold as that water was way super cold!

Trampoline Fun!!

she so loves this
okay I am not sure who loves it more!

everyone gets out to play, even aunty!

Happy Birthday Mousir Kids

For Anyone that really knows our kids they would know to my kids this is the best thing in the entire world because they love jumping and running that much! so we thought this would be cool as there one big birthday gift and Wal-Mart had dropped the price so it was a good time! it took us awhile to put it all together but great fun and even David and I have enjoyed some good jumping moments and so good talking times laying on it late at night looking at the stars!

a hot day new sprinklers!

the safe place to watch from!

David was having so much fun playing with the kids, he loves being able to get out there and see those awsome smiles they have, this summer has been very different for us, David and I have felt very much in limbo and so it has been a little harder to sit back and always in enjoy they little things like this.

Sara's 2nd Birthday

We had cake and presents on the Sunday for Sara! even though her birthday was on Sat.

Here is my little birthday girl, it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard to think that she is 2 now, I am unsure where the time went! but she had a great day, and with them all having birthdays so close together she totally got the idea, the funny thing to me is they all had to feel them!

these are sara at 3 months old

sara when she was 1

things I have been thinking about

okay I know I keep saying I am going to update my life to you all but it has been a little crazy, most mom's love summer, I personally hate summer, because it means my kids are off there "normal" world, it means I must do more activities to keep them somewhat normal, which really means this is more work for me than them being at school, yes I do love my kids but I am not a super organized craft fun mom, some mom enjoy having every moment of there day planned and my kids belong to that mom but I am not! But on the up note school almost starts only....a month left really! hahahaha

I want to say on the up movement it has been a summer of eye opening for me, as we moved down here I was very very much burnt out, and so I had to let others step in and help me, now anyone who knows me knows this is the hardest thing in the world for me because it is much easier to do it myself because I won't have to do it again! especially when it comes to my kids, did you know there is even a certain way to make KD and if you do it wrong the next 10times it is front of you it is still going to be wrong no matter what anyone says. And did you know if you scream loud enough cake does come before dinner! back to my eye opening moment, with me being burnt out and let others step up and help it has taught me about my box I live in, I have done so much in my life to help me have a calm smooth live with my kids, great right? NO because the "autism OCD" has taken over my life, I can now see it which is nice because I am not sure how many actually see it and see they need to change it but it is helped me to see that I need to work on this a bit more!
Our plan of different is okay for the summer has been working for the most part, as it is helping them adjust to many things, we moved here and are living with the Wendy and Philip for those that did not know that, it was a good adjustment in the way that they got something they are some what comfortable with and then sooner or later we will get our own place again! When we are not sure but it will all come together in the Lords time, but being here has helped David and I build our relationship a bit more as we can take the well needed breaks and when my health is not all there I can sleep and no one really says anything and my kids are still taken care of, one day we will figure out my health but it is all a step in the right direction.

I did want to make one last comment before I end this post this is a little different........

I have been thinking alot about where life has been as we are almost at our 2 yr mark of Dallin being assessed for his language delay, and every time I here someone else is going through this world it makes my heart skip a beat and pause and almost cry because I remember the pain that I went through and how I would love for no one else to go through this but it is just not going to happen so all I can say to this family that is going through this all, pray and pray some more for strength, Heavenly Father is not giving you anything you can not handle even through right now I know you feel that way, and if you ever need to talk or cry feel free to call. I know it can be hard to not feel like the bad mom who can't control our kids the right way at church and in real life! my prayers are with you!

Calgary Zoo with Kiddles!

So we went to the Calgary Zoo with the Kiddle Family, which was alot of fun, my kids had not been in along time and we went with kids the love being around so it made it all better, and I got some Adult talking time which is nice too!

Dallin thought the bear was cool

Anthony and Joshua were going all the time....though there was a couple breaks!

popr Sara at the end of the zoo.....by the time we hit the van she was completley out!

heritage park

So today was a crazy day, we got up early to take David to meet Glenn to work on his day off as Glenn needed help, so we were at Costco from 10 and took the van in to get the tire fixed, there for apt for us at 10:15am was 1:30 how sick is that so we wondered and then brought the van back to Costco in time, and then we were at superstore waiting still for Glenn to pick David up that was about 2pm HELLO that is along time to wait and heck it was my sleep in day, okay I will let you live this time but heck on my sleep in day let me sleep! :) so Barb called and asked if I wanted to go to heritage park with the kids well we waited for our husbands to be done work! sure that sounds like fun well by the time we got there though it was like 4pm.....sounds okay right.....no everything in Calgary closes at 5pm what is with that we don't live in a small town! so the guy let us in free and we got free ride stamps as we were only there for all of30mins by the time I walked up the long hill with the kids! so here are few pictures of the rides they went on.

Sara loved this ride, she thought it was awsome, I thought it was horrible it made me want to be sick cause it went that fast around and around!

Joshua was the first up he was like wow cool and after being up there he was like this way scary.

Dallin was the last on, but once on he was laugh from excitment because it was so great

These boats the kids all thought we awsome so we spent some time there for fun.
