been a long time. . . .

I know it has been a very long time since I have posted. Mainly because blogger has been giving me problems and I don't feel like fighting with it. As well, I have been working on my other blog and have come to the conclusion that I need to create a good website for my photography, not this cheapo blog thing.
Life here is on fastfoward like usual. Not much free time here as we go from one place to another.
First of all I will give a little recap or our spring break. We didn't anywhere to far. The kids and I did some different things, museum, library etc... here they are with painted faces from the afternoon at the manitoba theater (they had an open house with activites for kids)

We then had Laura and the cousins Maddy, Olivia and Judah over for a sleepover. We enjoyed some play time at a park with them and for some reason my kids managed to get soaked and Laura's stayed dry
The end of the week we headed to some friends cottage and the kids had a blast. The temperatures were cold and it would have been nice to be warmer but we still enjoyed ourselves. I was happy to see lots of snow melted when we arrived home. I have to say I barely took any pictures when we were there, which is rather odd.


It was then back to real schedule. The kids were very ready to get back to school, and we were excited to see temperatures start to rise. Now the snow is gone and I am comfortable in sandles and capris. It is about time!

We have been spending every minute outside, I am a tad overwhelmed at the landscaping that needs to be done but terribly excited to start mowing grass!! We have lots of big plans for the yard and although I hated the layout, and the fact we aren't all fenced in, the bay is so quiet that I have no problem with the kids playing all over it.

It was VERY excited for the kids that after two long summers we were finally able to set our trampoline back up. They can not get enough of it.







That is about all that is new. The kids are still the same active self and I am so glad the weather is warm enough to send them outside. Liam's birthday is in a little over a month and I am starting to think about what we will do for him.
I am seeing more and more the changes with the kids before my eyes. Especially Cassidy. She spends hours in her room drawing, writing or doing her "homework" as she likes to say. She does very well with her words and letters and I can see what her strong point in school will be. She is working along Aidan with the Hooked on phonics and is doing excellent.
Cassidy is also growing like crazy. I can not keep clothes that fit her and unlike Liam (who is still wearing 18-24 months) she seems to need her drawers cleaned out constantly. I am defiantly going to have to shop for her for summer.
Liam on the other hand still fits all his 18 month summer clothes from last year.
Now my question for you blog readers, where do you find the time to blog anymore???
