OUR FUN WEEKEND

We have been looking forward to the Scotish festival for what feels like ages! The rain was the only disapointment...that and the cost. We loved the pipe bands, highland games and ofcourse the food. I had a proper sausage roll! yum! We drove all the way to thanksgiving point and after about an hour it started pouring down (proper Scotish weather) It was an adventure and a lot of fun!

We then went to our ward primary carnival...can I just say after what we spent at the festival I was so glad we belong to such a great church where the parties are free :) The kids had a blast with the blow up slide, face painting, endless prizes and a really entertaining clown who invited Cozy up on stage to help her with a magic trick. The kids were in heaven!

Also, have to mention that after Cozy begged to have her training wheels off her bike, Buddy mastered it. Took him only minutes! :) needless to say his sister was very motivated after that and she then got it down. They look so cute riding it!!

discovering my grean thumb

I knew it was in my blood to want to plant things but only really figured it out this summer. The picture doesn't really show much but I have planted flowers and done my best to make our front yard look nice. Today I was weeding and mowing and boy is it exhausting! I love having a home and taking care of it..so very rewarding.

Parcels from the Grandparents!!!

Buddy and Cozettes Birthdays

What a birthday week we had! Tuesday we celebrated Elias's by going to see bedtime stories the movie (with Adam Sandler) It was super funny! Cozettes birthday was Thursday and when Chris got home from work we got in the car and headed for Chuck-e-cheezes where we piged out on pizza and bought way to many tokens! The tradition is breadfast in bed while opening presents then cake and icecream after dinner. The celebrations continued through the weekend as Cozette got her ears pierced Saturday. She was a trooper and barely flinched. We had a family party for them Sunday and my sibblings and parents spoiled them rotten! so long birthday week....see ya next year. I'm tired!

Aurora's 1st Birthday

My littel bugar nosed bumblebee turned one years old february 11th and she has decided that because she is now big...walking is the thing for her. She no longer wants to crawl! Her Aunty Lisa made her adorable top and slippers. The top has winges on back! so cute!
