Preston's 1st Hockey Game...

So we had Preston's first hockey game of the season today in Redvers.  He hasn't quite figured out the concept of hockey games, but loves hockey practise.  And while we were waiting to play (we arrived a little ahead of schedule) the boys had the chance to watch some old kids play hockey and then watch the zamboni.  That's Lachlan's favorite part of hockey LOL!

Daddy's Day Off...

So Daddy had the day off and since it was such a beautiful day we headed outside for some winter fun!

Testing 1, 2, 3...

So I received my "Push Present" in the mail today and decided to test it out.  For those of you who do not know what a push present is, it's a gift for when you deliver a baby.  This is new and something they do more in the States, but I thought "hey...baby #4???  I think I'm due for a Push Present" LOL.  I also thought I should have mine before baby #4 arrives so I know how to use it.  Now, for those of you who can't quite figure out what it is...I got my Prime 50mm 1.4f lens for my Minolta Digital Camera.  This lens is super awesome for taking portraits and blurring your background (which is what I need most times with kids LOL!) and also great for low lighting situations (which I HATE to use my flash for).  Looking forward to using this lens a bit in the next few months.

Another day at Petite Picassos...

So on our way to the Expressway Family Centre this morning I had to quickly grab out my camera to take a picture of these cuties.  It's rare that they all get along and will walk together holding hands.  These moments just melt my heart.

So today we brought out the big easels to use as they've been hiding in the back safe for quite a while.  The kids had a blast creating their beautiful works of art.  And the adults loved not having to worry about the mess at their own houses LOL!  Thanks parents & grandparents for helping with the clean up too! ~A

December 1st

On our way home from doing some last minute shopping...stopped at Tim's for timbits and well...Lachie didn't make it out of Estevan awake LOL!

And we finally set up our Christmas tree!  The boys were more than excited to help out.  Did you know it's hard to hand out ornaments to 3 anxious boys when they are all in boxes???  What a challenge Mommy had!

Hockey time...

So I never thought I'd become a hockey mom, but it has happened...Preston is in hockey this year.

Our first snow angel of the season...

So this was the first day of real snow and the boys wanted to go outside and play in it.  Lachlan and Preston loved making tracks in the snow and then Preston decided to make a snow angel.  It was fun!
