Cali couldn't keep her fingers out of the frosting...hehe!
Thanks for making the cakes Mom, they turned out great and tasted amazing!
Cali and Lilah now have matching bean bag chairs thanks to Nana!
Yippee, balloons!
I recently bought Cali a used little toy car, all the kids really enjoyed playing with it tonight!
Cali was helping me get ready for the party and I trusted her not to let go of the helium balloons....they made it to the party, what a good girl! :)
We took Cali to see the new Shrek movie, she was the only one shouting out "Pheona" and "Wow, Crazy"! The story to go with see this movie is that we had to drive one town over where there was a theater playing Shrek and we went to buy our ticket....they asked how old Cali was and said sorry that this is an upper scale movie theater and they do not allow children under 5! Who has ever heard of something like that?? You can't take your child to a children's movie?? Anyways, we drove to the next town and were able to find a theater with only one movie playing....which luckily was Shrek!
The Shrek movie was playing in 3D!
Happy little Cali! I can't tell everyone enough how proud I am of my little girl, she decided that this weekend was going to be the time when she figured out the whole potty business. It did make for an interesting trip, lots of trips to the washroom! On Tuesday morning I put her in her big girl panties and she had no accidents all day, so she is in her panties again today and we'll see how it goes! I'm so lucky to be Cali's Mommy, I wouldn't have it any other way! :)
Today I had my 2nd visit with the midwife, I am 13 weeks & 4 days along! All my blood work came back great and she did my physical and said everything was great with that too! I found out that I am type A positive, which is neat to know since I don't think I have ever asked before! I was so excited about my visit today because I was sure that we would get to hear the baby's heartbeat....and we did!! I really didn't feel pregnant until that moment and I am so happy, I've had a tear in my eye all day! It was so special to have Cali there with me to hear the heartbeat for the first time, we got to listen to her heartbeat as well which was also very special! I hope you like the little video I took, the midwife you see was so great and I am so sad that she is just filling in and I probably won't see her again....
My little poser...
On Saturday we went to a kids fair with Steph, Lilah, Declan, Mom & Holly. We had such a fun time and the kids had a blast! Cali got a butterfly from the clown who's name was Bell E. Buttons, she was a little unsure of him but stood their politely waiting for her balloon.
Lilah was so happy to get her balloon too, she also got a butterfly!
The girls admiring their balloons...
A quick stop for a bite to eat... Cali was so tired, she had been up since 5:30am and we had gone to gymnastics's then straight to the fair!!
Auntie Holly got the kids some cotton candy, it was a big hit as you can imagine! :)
Lilah getting her face painted....with a butterfly!
Cali also chose a butterfly! :)
Ice cream time!
Mmmm bubblegum ice cream!
We had a really fun weekend just Cali and I, Greg had gone of on a guys camping trip for the weekend....which was fine until I got the call from him saying that he had had an accident on the quad. He was going up some kind of steep rocky hill and the quad 's front tires went up, Greg managed to get of the quad before it tumbled down the hill but he was grabbed by a tree branch in the neck. Greg was lucky that he didn't didn't get hurt worse than he did but the tree ripped about a 3 inch gash out of his neck, I still can't believe how deep the wound is, it's shocking! I'm really glad he is back home and not interested in riding the quad anymore, it's going to take a long time fix it anyways....almost everything is bent and broken!
The bubble mania begins!
I love this side shot of Declan, he is such a sweet little boy!
Lilah, Declan & Cali enjoying the sunny weather!
Greg got some free tickets to the hockey game last night so we thought we would attempt to take Cali with us and see how she liked it, even thought the game started at her bed time. Cali loved being there, she got a big kick out of the crowd and was clapping and dancing! We had a really good time and will definitely do it again!
So, I keep mentioning how much I hated the bushes around the deck and today with all the kids running around it would just be so nice to see up and down from the deck......so while Cali and I took a nap Greg cut down all the bushes!! Wow, it looks so much better!! Greg is going to build a wall around the bottom with a door so it will all be closed in. What a wonderful, hard working husband I have, I'm so lucky! :)
This is Greg in the mess he had made, luckily our neighbour has recently cut some trees down and is having a wood chipper come!
