if you didn't know already...

Hi. I've been horid at keeping our blog up to date for the last while. We haven't really been going ANYWHERE or doing ANYTHING for the last couple of weeks. Here are some pictures of the kids playing with Playdough. I think it was a total of almost 2 hours of just smuuuuushing, rolling and creating.

Aubrey REALLY liked the squeeeeeze part!

Will was having so much fun he couldn't even take a break for a picture.

....and the reason for all of this non-going places, fun-sucking, is me. PREGGO and feeling GROSS. I think if I took the kids anywhere I'd fall asleep and they'd run away. I'm just over the 2 month mark, thanks to Will for the picture taking. Good angle...

I remember now how much I hate being pregnant, but the end result is always good! Wish me luck!

Las Vegas, NV

We finally went somewhere!! I've been in vacation mode for a week so I have been too LAZY to tell about our fun trip! Andy and I and the rest of Andrew's brothers and sister and parents took a trip to Las Vegas together. We had a blast! I think we stayed just long enough because by the end of it all, I was ready to see the kids. I missed them. I'm such a baby. So these pictures all pretty much speak for themselves. We walked around alot and had alot of fun people watching and eating our faces off at buffets. I think all of the walking we did balanced out for all the eating. SO doing pretty good chunkiness wise...

My favourite part of the entire trip was going to see the Cirque du Soliel show KA. It was INCREDIBLE. Loved it. Loved it. I want to go back and go to a show every night.

OH CANADA!

We had a GREAT Canada Day yesterday!

We went to the Raymond parade in the morning, this is what Aubrey thought of the parade...

and here's what Will thought of the parade! The first float that went by chucked a bunch of candy and of course a saltwater taffy nailed Will right in the eye! Things went downhill from there...

Then that night we packed up and went to watch the fab Taber Fireworks with Tim and Tab, right before they started, a huge storm rolled in and it started to pour! Good thing we had the van, we closed ourselves in there and watched from the coziness of our car.

Here's Will and Aubrey with their buddies Austin and Macy.

Today Andy and I are off to Las Vegas! Pictures to come!

poopsicles/cookies/baby

Yes, I wrote "poopsicles" only because it makes Will SO very mad when I call them that. I love bugging my kids, it really doesn't get any better. So we've been having a chill time around the nest lately. Inga and Aaron had a a baby boy, well Inga had the baby to be more exact. It's medically impossible for a man to birth a child FYI. Unless you are THIS "GUY". And still it's complicated, I wonder on a scale from 1 to 10 how awkward Oprah felt doing that move...

Anyways.... His name is Cru Gregory Paul Edlund 9lbs 3 oz, 21 inches. I love babies. I want a baby, please send me yours... Aubrey loves Cru so much , when we went to the hospital she wanted to hold him and rub his belly and kiss his face, poor Cru, you are in for a life of kisses, loves and slightly too hard pats from Aubrey. Sorry in advance.

Andy and I are getting really excited for our trip to Las Vegas coming up in 9 days! Yipee!! Oh and yesterday we went to my friend Sandy's wedding! It was awesome, and she looked unbelievably pretty. I, of course brought my camera but didn't take any pictures, IDIOT! A couple days ago my friend Tabitha came to visit me too, she was in the wedding party. I love you TABBY! I always have so much fun with you! and I miss you! Move back to Taber, I beg of you!!!! So this weekend was great, I got to see 2 of my goodest friends and go on a date with Andrew and eat good food. Also Happy Fathers Day to all of the Dad's out there!!!

writing-on-stone

We went to Writing -on- Stone today. It was lots of fun! We hiked EVERYWHERE.

"HOODOO" you see?

Hiking...

It's the circle, the circle of life....

The "bathtub", the kids really thought they had to have a bath, that's why they aren't too happy.

We'll definitely be making a trip back this summer to do some camping. Go. You'll love it.

the happs...

                                                       We've had a busy life lately, I love it!

First thing to report was the magic and wonder which is the Taber Parade...if I blog about going next year please send me some anthrax in the mail, please.

After the parade we spent the afternoon at Granny Myra's eating, suprise suprise!! It was so fun to hang out with friends and family, above is a cute picture of Will and Aubba with all of their Evanson cousins, aren't they all just the cutest?!

2nd on the docket (that is a laywer show word...) is we went for walks, lots of walks, Taber has great trails all around and they are building new ones as I type, maybe the trails are so good to make up for the parades here... Anywho... walks are fun they let me leave my house, let my kids run off some steam and help me to become skinny. I heart walks.

                                                               We had friends over... now it looks like in these pictures the friends are not having that awesome of a time, 

Will is laughing about something and poor Austin is not loving that and below Aubba is totally stealing a drink of Macy's juice box, sorry Baby M. next time you can have a whole one to your chunky widdle self, PROMISE!

                                                                      She was just SO thirsty!

... and this last one is just to make you laugh, it made me, and we do alot of that too in our busy little house and our busy little life. ENJOY!

the latest...
