UPDATE OF OUR WEEK·....

Tuesday... celebrating Jays birthday...

Make a wish!
The kids enjoying Jays birthday Jello Orea cake...his favorite!


Jay got a new basketball net from Grandma and Grandpa! He loves it!!!Thanks :0)


This was the garage, now its our bedroom window


Shutters were put on the other day!

Today (Wednesday) we finally got a warm sunny day so we painted the front and back door burgundy then moved on and started the foundation. Got to love the pink (primer)! LOL Imagine what the neighbors were thinking. It was definitely turning heads until we starting painting with the burgundy.


Yes I got my hands dirty. It turned out to be a bigger job then we had expected and come late afternoon it was looking like rain...thankfully it held off and stayed sunny out.


Blake enjoyed a good part of the day playing in the lilac bush in the yard, when he wasnt getting into the paint. He loves to help!


Trinity took this picture this afternoon....

This morning I weighed in at 136 pounds! Wow I couldnt believe it! That is down 1.2 pounds from Tuesday!

My new hair cut and color. Blond with 2 shades of red. I love it and it is so easy to take care of!

DANCE WORKSHOP...

The dance competition is still going on and we are getting ready to head back to Center 200 to watch more dancing. Yesterday Trinity got a new shirt and shorts with the competition logo on it and guess what she is wearing to her dance workshop this evening...yup her new dance shorts, she will have to take her shirt off for the workshop but she can wear it all day. I will have to pick up a shirt today for Kohl, hopefully they still have a black one. Here are some pictures of Trinity showing off her new outfit. Now if only I could get into a pair of shorts like that! LOL She's too cute! Love ya Trin! :0)

She has worked so hard to reach her goal taking it one week at a time and getting on the treadmill but it paid off. Amanda has reached her weight loss goal of 30 pounds! Way to go Amanda, You did it! She's not finished yet...Amanda has just set a new goal of an additional 12 lbs that she would like to lose. Keep up the hard work, you will be there again before you know it!

NEW WINDOWS!

I forgot to post some pictures of our new windows. Not all the work is done yet but the front is finished for now, we still want to add burgundy shutters to add some color and I have no idea what to do about the green in the front porch window(I'm sure I will think of something). This week we should have the siding finished on the outside of the house where our bedroom now is!

Go Fish - The Mom Song

IT'S MOTHER'S DAY!


Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day
With little time to stop and pray
For life's been anything but calm
Since You called on me to be a mom
Running errands, matching socks
Building dreams with building blocks
Cooking, cleaning, and finding shoes
And other stuff that children lose
Fitting lids on bottled bugs
Wiping tears and giving hugs
A stack of last weeks mail to read
So where's the quiet time I need?
Yet when I steal a minute,
Lord Just at the sink or ironing board
To ask the blessings of
Your grace I see then, in my small one's face
That you have blessed me
All the while And I stop to kiss
That precious smile

BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT #2

Friday and Saturday kept us busy with lots of basketball and I managed to help coach the team with Nadine and keep an eye on Kohl and Blake. I am so proud at how well they listened! The Jaguars played hard all weekend and finished with a 3rd place win and during the second game Jay was award MVP for the game. Unfortunately I missed that part because I was quickly running to pick Trinity up at a birthday party. He was so proud and so was I he played hard :0)
Now it looks like basketball will be finishing up soon with a season end party for the players!





Jay is #6!

MVP!

HIP HOP DRESS REHEARSAL...

Trinity and Kohl are both competing "You can't touch this" with this hip hop dance in a couple of weeks. This will be Kohl first dance competition and I think he is doing great keeping up with the girls. He is having a great time dancing and will definitely make the judges smile!

This first video is the dance they will be competing...

(Trinity and Kohl are in the front row)

YOU CAN'T TOUCH THIS...

In this video the class was divided into two groups

Trinity's group (the girls that take tap, jazz and ballet classes)

ANOTHER DRESS REHEARSAL

IN STEP DANCE COMPETITON IN CAPE BRETON

Trinity is getting ready for another dance competition on May 17th. She will be doing tap, jazz, ballet and hip hop with Kohl. This week has been so crazy with getting back from Halifax and visiting and having 3 kids with colds and now both Matt and I are getting run down ourselves.

The dress rehearsal went pretty good last night with Trinity's classes but as you will probably see in the videos how excited she is to be there. Don't get me wrong it's not the dancing just the class. These are the dances she has been doing before moving up to the harder class and it just isn't challenging enough for her and she is getting bored with it and she is still tired from being away. September will bring a lot more challenges for her and she will be busier then ever. Also in the videos you will see the difference in dedication with the girls. At least half of them forgot their costumes and all the girls messed up the ending to their tap dance but they still have 2 more classes to get it together.

ENJOY THE VIDEOS!

TAP - BOOGIE SHOES

JAZZ - BOOGIE WONDERLAND
