The Pupps

A post for the dogs....something other than the kids for once :)

Gimli has found a new bed, we just happened to toss the dog bed under the swing when we were cleaning but he likes to hide out under there, either hiding from Olivia or hiding from the thunderstorms. Becker on the other hand will lay down just about anywhere. They've adjusted well to having two siblings, becker will jump up and run away anytime Olivia comes near him, gimli on the other hand will just stay there and take whatever Olivia dishes out. Silly dogs!

Outside playtime

We've had some pretty crazy weather lately, there were a couple tornado's that touched down near airdrie yesterday and today we had some more weather, it missed our neighbourhood but got the north end of the city, I took some pictures of the scary looking clouds.














Olivia riding her Dora motorcycle that her cousins passed down to her, she loves pushing all the buttons and making lots of noise with it.










Climbing the slide, mom regrets showing her this way up the slide.


























Our precious little chucky! LOL










Weeee!

Dancing Diva

Olivia LOVES to dance, anytime she hears music she starts grooving. These pictures kinda look like she's stretching but she's actually dancing, if I can figure out how to upload a video to the blog, I can show her in action.

The Pasta Strainer

I never said my kids were normal!!!

Olivia loves the tupperware cupboard, it's her cupboard to play in and make a mess of. Yesterday she took out the strainer and decided it was a hat......she's our crazy little monkey!!!

Stampede 2008

We didn't end up taking too many pictures while we were at the grounds, we didn't even get one of Carter but these are the few we did take.

This is Olivia's very first ride, if you take a good look at the picture she's very VERY mad, the ride hadn't even started yet, she was upset cause dad was keeping her in her seat, she wanted to stand up.







And this is while the ride is moving, the instant the ride started she was all smiles, we're so proud we have a thrill ride daughter, just like her mom and dad!











Olivia riding the merry go round, I'm on there holding her, you just can't see me.











A picture of Trudy, Megan & Taylor riding the big slide.











And this is just before we put Olivia in the van, she was exhausted, we were only on the grounds for a couple hours but it pooped her out (pooped mom and dad out too!)

Carter & Olivia around the house

These are just some pictures I've taken of the kids around the house this past week.

My little macho man!










You can't really tell in this picture but he's got beautiful brown/blue/grey eyes (I guess that makes them hazel???) we hope they stay that way, the rest of us all have brown eyes.














Chillaxing with his bottle of purple...something.











A tasteful bath shot ;)












When I went in to get olivia up the other morning this is what I found, it's a t-shirt, but she made it into this very fashionable top, I have NO idea how she did it. I swear she'll be a fashion diva!














Olivia playing dress up with her rain jacket and her hat from last winter that doesn't fit anymore.














Carter showing off his cute overalls that we got from Emma's Mom (one of my surrogate moms)

The last week and a half.....

Instead of doing a bunch of posts I'm just gonna do one big one to update everyone, it's been a busy week and a half since our last post. Cy's gone back to work and we're coping.....I'm coping....kind of...LOL. We're adjusting well, Carter is FINALLY done his growth spurt so the cluster feeding has stopped, both liv and I are happy that he's no longer on my lap every 45 minutes!!!! :) These are some picures of our happenings:





Olivia driving her cozy coupe that my sister handed down to us, Liv LOVES her car!!!












Checking to make sure she has enough gas.











My little awake man.















The monster mash! LOL















Typical Olivia lately, she's rather put out by her brother. This too shall pass...right???? LOL













Carter watching his fishies swim around his head.















Olivia showing Carter how to use my cell phone














Carter trying to eat my cell phone.












Olivia giving Carter the finer points of multi-tasking the cell phone and the remote control.















Cyrus showing Olivia how to make whistle noises with grass















Olivia trying to make whistle noise with the grass...LOL!!
