Writing

Total bragging post - Look at who's name RW can write and his was his first try too!! I found some Toy Story pens on sale and they were the gateway to this writing session. The pens come with strings attached on the cap and he feels like he's the coolest dude in town while wearing them around his neck.

Tobogganing

Yesterday Lana spent the day at the dayhome and the weather was suppose to be quite balmy compared to what we've been dealing with these past couple of weeks, so RW and I got all suited up and hit the hill with our sled and tube.


The first couple of slides down the hill he wanted to go with me but on the third one he was feeling more comfortable so he went down himself. He did so good, held onto the handles and was going the perfect speed for his size. After he stopped he was rolling around in the snow with excitement while telling me to go (using the tube)... oh Nelly, I've never been on a tube before and I had no idea how much speed that thing has! I was going way too fast and hit a bump, I lost control and went flying right into my little man. The tube hit the back of his head (he's perfectly fine) and forced it forward, gaving him a face wash in the snow. I figured we'd be done - I was waiting for this snowy-white face to start crying and demanding to go home. To my surprise he was okay, I brushed his face off and rearranged his hat and he got up and was running up the hill again! I'm so proud of him, we must have done 6 or 7 runs and he didn't complain once about the hike up the hill.


On our walk back to the car he fell over and started making snow angels, it was such a wicked Mommy-Son day. This morning he woke me up and started asking me when Lana's going to Christie's next so that we can go sledding, here's hoping the weather's nice on Friday!!

Moving on Up ~ Skating



RW has moved up to level 3, way to go bud!! He's already completed half of the requirements for level 3 too :)
We took him out for a DQ sundae to celebrate!

Dry Nights

Well tonight is the first night that Jedi gets to sleep in RW's room, a reward for having 5 dry nights!
We're so proud of him, he's growing into such an amazing little man.

Yellow Panther Patch? Check!

He's got two pretty patches on his belt now :)

Santa's Message to RW

We'll be sharing it sometime tomorrow.

Extended Punta Cana Slideshow

Finally got around to gathering all my point 'n' shoot photo's. Obviously the quality isn't that great and some of them are pretty blurry due to a certain 4 yr old who stole the camera, I think they're great though!



Enjoy!!

Dry Nights

Could this be it? Is he finally done with pull-ups? He's gone 4 consecutive nights (5 within this past week) where he's had dry nights! He's got one more night to go and then we need to keep up our end of the bargain... RW gets a new sleeping buddy - Jedi. 


Thankfully Jedi can sleep through the night too!

TKD - Patch #1

Robbie was given his first patch last night! He was so excited and proud to show it off :)

And the icing on the top - he got a new red stripe too!

Photo Slidshow

I decided to play with iMovie and LOVED the way this turned out. If anyone one wants copies of the pictures just ask :)
Mom/Dad - feel free to share them with the Parr's, Green's, Coupland's, etc.

Punta Cana Video's

I'm still working on a couple of things but here's a couple of video's





I went zip lining with a bunch of people from our group. It was AMAZING, I was sooooo scared but after that first line was done it was a breeze. What a way to enjoy the amazing landscape of the Dominican



and then I was lucky enough to go Deep Sea Fishing with people that came down for Alison's wedding. I've never fished in my life but after this experience I'd definitely want to do it again!

Kailey's Birthday

I just got around to taking all the pictures off of the memory card and onto the computer. I don't have a lot of time to edit so I'll just put this one up to give you a taste of how the party went!

Halloween

We spent the weekend up in Cold Lake to help celebrate Kailey's birthday (pictures to come!) the following day was Halloween and the kids were so excited to go hit the houses together. Can you believe that some of the kids started at 4pm?!?!
In true RW fashion, he was running up and down the driveways and could not get to the next house fast enough! Kailey was right there with RW and was yelling "trick-or-treat" at the top of her lungs!
Little Lana was less than impressed at first (hence why there's little pictures of her). I woke her up to get her fed and dressed and she just wanted to snuggle, she sat in the stroller for the first block and just watched the kids in action. I took her out after a good 20 mins and took her up to the door with the other two kids and then she was hooked, she was running up the driveway and then gave a good "trick-or-treat" (and quite clearly!) said her thank-you's after she was given candy and then wanted to walk to the next house. Unfortunately her little legs don't move as fast enough to keep up with the bigger kids so she did get a little frustrated at times. Next year I have no doubt she'll be right beside her brother the entire night!

"RW Stop Squinting!"

"RW! Say Cheese"

RW: "Cheese! Look at his costume"

 Me: "Put your hand down and say cheese!"
