Kohl's new bed

We are trying to update Kohl's room a little bit and this will be his new bed, it is finally ordered and will arrive next Wednesday the 29th. Kohl is now saving his pennies because he wants the headboard that goes with the bed and a new army comforter, 1 step at a time buddy.

BBall time

Kohl picked out a new B.Ball today, one a bit more his size and we got a replacement net for Jay's Rim. Jay got his new Glow in the Dark B.Ball on the weekend, it's pretty cool after dark. We had a little game of 2 on 1 tonight after supper and are settled in now watching a movie...Mummy 2.

MATT, WE ARE BACK AT THE HOTEL.....CELL PHONE NEEDS CHARGED.....WE ARE GOING TO THE POOL FOR A BIT.....TRY US LATER, IF NO ANSWER, TRY TRY AGAIN!
(it's now 7:30pm)

A surprise for Blakie

While Kohl was hanging out with me at work today (Jay had Badminton Practice) we found this cool new Transformer to go with Blakes collection, we couldn't leave it behind so we picked it up. We thought it would be fun to tease Blake with it from home with this video, sorry buddy, Soundwave is really cool and he's waiting in your room, oh and by the way he is a Decepticon which we have never seen in these toys

WE HAVE ARRIVED!

The kids got a ride on the troller after we unpacked all the luggage. We have things settled into the room and are heading to the grocery store then back for a swim. I will poste more pictures later !

Matt you can call us @ 468-8888 (I think this is the number?) room 306

New Dance Jackets

The boys were excited today when I arrived home with their new Dance Jackets. They have been waiting all year and it was even better because Trinity got her's about a month ago so they have been waiting patiently. The jackets arrived just in time to go off to competetion with so the kids will be looking their best on and off stage. Go get em boys.

Easter got of to an early start with the younger boys but we were able to convince them to watch an episode of Power Rangers before waking everyone else up. As soon as it was over they were off collecting eggs. We don't go crazy with gifts and treats for Easter but they did get some goodies, a new DVD (Bedtime Stories) and a little something to play with while we got lunch ready.

Unfortunately the weather is miserable with heavy, heavy rain but I guess it is better than the snow that some of you are getting. So needless to say, the kids will be spending the day inside.

Here are some pictures of the kids to enjoy!

Yes, there is Jay sneaking all the eggs on the kids...

Blake loves his chocolate...can't you tell!

Trin off to a good start with her egg hunt...

GOOD FRIDAY WITH THE SMITHS!

THE 3D EXPERIENCE!

What a beautiful day it was! We decided this morning that we would take the kids to the movie theatre to see

"MONSTERS VS. ALIENS" in 3D

What a fun movie and the kids (and us) and a great time!

The kids while waiting for their popcorn, excited to see their first 3D movie in theatre!

I'm not sure who this nerd is....but he showed up in our kitchen not long after we got home...LOL!

When we got home we got the boys 4 wheelers out (battery operated) and with much surprise they still had lots of charge after sitting for most of last summer and all winter.

Trinity got a hoola hoop for her birthday and thought she would give it a try. Now if only I could move my hips like she does LOL....yeah, maybe someday?????

You go girl!!!!

Kohl on his bike....

Blake on his bike.... oh and Jay is patiently (impatiently) waiting to get the driveway back to shoot some hoops...it's hard sometimes taking turns isn't it :0(

May by the end of the summer we will be able to make the driveway larger to make room for all the kids...that will be a project.

The chase is on.... I got my toes ran over a few times keeping them in the driveway and Breigh got in the way a time or two. One thing about these bikes is that they are NOT quiet at all...what a racket!

Well, that is it for now, ???We had hot turkey sandwiches and fries for supper MMM and will have turkey dinner on Sunday. The kids are getting cleaned up for the night (I forgot how dirty they can get playing outside...what a mess!)

Trinity is off to a birthday party sleep over later on ( a night at the spa with facials, pedicures and vegetarian snacks, what fun) and I am heading to work for 6pm (no big deal lots of extra money tonight!) So that will leave the boys to have a boys night!

Must run I have to get to work!

I'll keep in touch

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...

Here's wishing Matt Wilson a very Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to you,

Getting in Costume

While Carrie and Trin were off at Dance Competition today I had to get Blake ready for his practice of his dance he will be doing in the parent/children Blast show down in Halifax. Part of the dance is done in Hawaian theme so I thought it would be fun to get him into a Hawaian shirt(Kohl's) and found some red hair gel we had to spike him up and make him wild. He was definetly a hit today at practice and everyone loved the outfit. I hope they all have fun down in Halifax and I wish I could go with them. At least I will get to see this performed here at the year end show in June. Go get them gang.

Here comes the tooth fairy

Today Kohl came to me(Matt) and said his tooth was getting very sore and that his new tooth was growing in a weird spot. He had one of his front teeth getting loose for a while but aparently it wasn't loosening up fast enough as the new one started to grow out behind it. I figured we better get the tooth out as soon as possible so I showed him some tips on how to loosen it up first and he worked on it all morning. After lunch we decided to give it another try and as he was laughing/crying at the same time we got it to pop out. He was very excited to have it out and over and is now looking forward to a visit from the tooth fairy.

Parent Bowling Day

Today was Jays parent day bowling tournament, as Carrie was away at competition with Trin I had the pleasure of playing with Jay. We got off to a fast start and were leading after the 1st string. I was quite surprised as I haven't bowled in years. We got into the 2nd string and started ok but had a rough spell around the middle and had to settle for 4th place. We were a little disapointed with ourselves but had a good time anyway. Carrie & Trin arrived in time to be our cheer leaders and Blake and Kohl got filled up on treats from Lucy. We'll go get them next year.

This information is for anyone who is planning on coming to

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY PARTY...

HEY, HEY, THE GANGS ALL HERE!

Trinity finally got her birthday cake with whipped cream icing!"

and then came another surprise....

The track suit that she has been wanting since she started dancing 4 years ago. Now that we are at a new school and almost finished her second year here I thought it was time! She is going to wear it tomorrow when we go into Sydney to watch the dance competition. She isn't competing in this one...

It took me all day to get this suit finished for her but finally at 4:30pm I picked it up!

I think it turned out great!

While the girls were painting their picture frames the boys made some fun animal crafts.

Jay didn't hang around for the party...right after bowling he went to his friends house and played poker... he made it home in time for cake!

Kohl had his friend Trey over during the party. The boys had a great time and are hilarious together!

Now you didn't think that the night went off without any injuries did you...LOL.

Blake ended up closing his door on his fingers...lucky for him for the FIRST time he didn't slam his door shut!

We finally found a night for Trinity to have some friends over to celebrate her birthday! We had 12 extra kids in the house. 1 was Kohl's friends and the rest were here for Trinity. It was a very loud party but everyone had a great time. I ended up buying wooden picture frames from the craft store for the kids to paint. I took pictures of each of them individually with Trinity for their frames then got a copy of the group picture for them to take home. They turned out great!

Here are some videos...

First is Trinity dancing.... I promised my good friend Jenn that I would get one posted of Trin's solo...

JAZZ..."SHAKE IT"

(2weeks and a couple of days until competition)

this next video is hilarious!

Trinity on a sugar high from all the icing on the cake!

(oh, and a new use for my treadmill lol)

What a DIVA she is!

(warning....it's a bit long, but I love it LOL)
