Play doh : Housebound Day 2

So now there are 2 sick kidlets :( Poor little monkeys (speaking of monkeys ...watch this kids in the hall about monkeys tee hee) Actually I changed my mind...he does say that "its sounds like they are full of beans..which is priceles...anyway)

Instead watch this ...LOL...is this where we are headed at 45 yrs old??



So we cracked out the pay doh today. This was the first time I let Cooper get his hands in there. He idd pretty good and I was just thinking how well he had done when I snapped the second picture...of him stuffing a handful of play doh in his mouth. Honestly..doesn't even try and lick it first, just goes for the gusto! ahhh what kids :) (click to enlarge pics)

Don't know how I forgot to post these pics from the museum the other day! Fun :)

Catching up, step and pina coladas

Why not throw everything into one?!

So I will start with Friday morning, Beckie and I decided it would be a great idea to go take a step class at the kinsmen....well I guess me saying I had never done one before would have been a good piece of info to share. Turns out the class was intermediate haha. Oh my, my body is aching..it was such a workout. I couldn't do half the fancy steps so I just made up my own stuff and repeated things she had already done..soo embarassing..totally like the lame girl in the exercise video where the floaty voice says "and if this is too difficult..follow Melissa for the easy step..." But wow what a workout nonetheless and a blast. Thanks for putting up with me Beckie!

That night i took Karlynn out for her bday. We did dinner and shopping at west edmonton mall..it was pretty fun to start out with a pina colada each. The guy at the table next to us ordered a drink straight out of Kids in the Hall Girl Drink Drunk LOL! Think HUGE glass...several umbrellas and spears of fruit sticking out..not the most macho drink to order if thats the look he was going for..anyway a blast overall!

The sun is shining and the snow is melting so that means...MUDFEST 2007!!!! (in our backyard)

Cooperzilla

Cooperzilla...feared by the inhabitants of Sodor! ( I remove him from his course of destruction about 100 times a day at this point *sigh*)

Brodie is excited!

He is a little fixated about the new van....even shaping his toys like one..I was so surprised to see this when I walked into the room.

Minivan Land

So we made the jump...and are now proud new owners of a minivan! Its a pretty sweet ride..2007 Kia Sedona. All sorts of cool features...all thats missing is flames..maybe a skull or something to give it some edge :)

So woohooo.....we have room to spare! Brodie is off his rocker excited too. Check it out!


P.S...monster truck eat that!

Kimberley

I had such a fantastic time in Kimberley! BUT...my new boots decided to eat my heel..its nicely chewed up thats for sure.

So this is from today...day 6 of blister-ness...sucks to be me...

Vball picture

Last night a guy on another team had a camera so he offered to take a pic of our team. Pretty nice considering we just beat them 2 games to 1 :)..Anyway here is us (Steve, me, Darren, Quentin, Lorien and Kelly) all sweated up after coming off the night with 5 wins 1 loss. Still in first place in our tier w00t woot! :)

It was kind of funny because the guy was using a video camera, and I thought he was shooting video to catch a still but he was actually taking stills with no warning . So this is the closst we have to all looking in one place and smiling haha.

Too bad we couldnt' get a full tam pic one of these days. We're missing Matt, Gillian, Maryanne, Wayne, Dave,Sara and Colin.

Mama's got a brand new Ride!

Look at my new baby! A sweet Ride 153 Dose...Forum bindings...ThirtyTwo boots to boot! I am sooo spoiled and I LOVE it. Can't wait to tear it up in Kimberley this weekend.

Here is a link to my board.http://www.ridesnowboards.com/boards/board.asp?ProductID=12&SKU=R06007#




Brodie and Cooper loved checking it out. especailly Cooper, you can see he is trying to push Brodie off of it.

Had to bring my old board in to check how my stance was before...all muscle memory ya' know :) Its funny to see my old board..all covered in stickers and stuff lol so many good times happened on that board..*sigh* love memory lane.
