Calgary Temple

Well October 19th we headed to Calgary and met up with some of Jason's family to go to the new Calgary temple on October 20th. We stayed at a hotel in Calgary that had a pool and water slide for the kids.

We met up with Jason's parents, Justin, Amelia and kids, and Richard and Leslie, and Benson. It was fun. Talia loves her cousins and loves playing with them. Sleeping in the same room was an adventure. Jace wouldn't stay in his pack n play but he did fall asleep in a bed really well. Talia grinds her teeth SO loud all night. So that kept us up. Then we had to wake up super early to get ready to be at the temple at 8 15 am. Some might not think this is early but both my kids have been sleeping till 8 am every morning. Sweet I know and I know it wont last forever so I'll take it for now.

Anyways it was fun. We ate, swam, played cards, slept, ate, then went to the temple. I knew it would be challenging with Jace and it was but I`m grateful we went. It`s a beautiful temple. I think both my kids are too young to remember it but it was fun being there as a family. .

Anyways we got photos after in front of the temple. For our family photo we asked some walker by and yep the temple was cropped out of it. Bad angle and bad photo. Oh well. Then the group photo whoever took it went way to far back and not focus on the people. Frustrating but at least the others good decent photos.

In the midst of trying to unpack with kids and Jason working crazy hours our computer with photoshop on it is still down. It was a cold day at the temple and I would like to brighten the photos up a bit. I`m too impatient to wait to post these and don`t want to get too far behind on the blog. We still have the move, Halloween, and life to follow!

 

This is how I found my kids sleeping. So cute. Jace got out of his pack and n play so he fell asleep here. I love my kids.

 



Yes I am pregnant but I'm  not as pregnant as I look here. I arch a lot when I hold this boy!

All of us.

Jason's parents, Brian and Cynthia.

Accidents happen... 3 times?

Well I am happy to say Jace does not head but but he is klutzy and likes to tickle/ wrestle Talia. In the midst of our unpacking (future post) Jace fell into talia connecting his head (which weeks to be thick) to Talia's nose. It started bleeding and she was in so much pain. I felt so bad for her.


Then the very next day he went to hug her and tickle her hitting her nose twice more! That deserved a time out. Anyways I felt so bad. It bruised more and it's so tender. First picture is the first day then second picture is the second day when he hit her again.

I must say she has the most gorgeous eyes!

So much to be thankful for

Our life has been BUSY these last couple of weeks and for the next few weeks it will be busy. BUT our life has been filled with nothing but blessings.

We took possessions of our new house September 14 and we're moving in October 13.

Talia turned 3 and started preschool which has been great for her. We also got in off the wait list at the closer school for us.

Jason has been working CRAZY hours but we're very thankful for the job he has and how it's been so great for our family.

Jason's also been working every moment he's not at work on our house to make it move in ready. Photos to come. Thankful for a hard working husband.

I feel like I've been lazy but I've been sick and tired...Pregnant with number 3. I may not love being pregnant but we feel very blessed to be pregnant adding to our family. This addition comes April 2013. We're 12 weeks right now.

Anyways we have lots to be thankful for. Happy thanksgiving!!!

Talia turns 3!

I am a little behind but I guess better late than never. Our sweet Talia turned 3 on September 28th! We had a birthday party for her on the 22nd out at my parents house. We were able to get a groupon early on in the year that included an astro jump, princes stuff and a pinata. It was fun.

Jason and I really loved watching Talia play and understand it was her birthday. It was the first year that she really knew it was her birthday and played with her cousins. Jason's parents were in town so they were able to come as well as all my family!

We love this girl. She's really our princess. She's smart. She's sweet. She's tender hearted. She loves her brother. I really could go on and on. I've loved seeing her become more out going than she used to be and she just loves going to nursery and preschool. We're proud of her and love our little girl.

some photos from the birthday.

 Made this cake on my own! It's not perfect but Talia loves icing so it did the trick!

 I love Marli! She's the funniest kid ever!

 

 

 Benson now can pull himself to standing! YAY!

 

My beautiful sister Taren! she is a great aunty!

 

These two are best cousins! they love each other. 

 

 

She loved all her gifts and was so appreciative. Thank you everyone!
