Long Weekend "Mini-Concert"

Today, Levi was singing "Jesus Loves Me" as he went about his day. I got him to stand and sing it so you could all enjoy it too!


Then he wanted to sing "ABC's".


Of course, Nora wanted to have her turn...you can hear Levi in the background being a distraction!

Soccer!

Nora started soccer at the end of April! At first she was really shy with the coach and other kids...after the first couple games she said she didn't want to go back to soccer. And now, after a few more times of sticking with it, she's excited to go! Her game was canceled due to rain on Monday, and she was so disappointed that she didn't have soccer. In her prayer at lunch time the next day she said "God, please make the rain stop so I can go to soccer."
I'm glad we made her stick with it.

Busy, Busy!

Today at church it was the Sunday School Class Presentations. All the kids were so cute...and we took video of Nora's class. There's 3 sections of video...you'll have to turn up the volume to hear them. I'm so impressed with our shy Nora...she sang and did the actions! I remember last year's presentation...Nora was a statue up front. What a difference a year makes!
Levi's class didn't do a presentation...they usually have a video clip of the classtime...but they didn't this year.

Today was also the last day at our current church building. So, it was called "organized chaos" as the congregation lined up in front of the building for a photo after service...and then gathered back into the building for the children's presentations. We also witnessed 3 baptisms today!!

After we got out of church at 1 pm...we went for Mother's Day lunch at Olive Garden (My favorite!) with Charlotte, Stacy and Grant.

Day 3...GalaxyLand!!

Today we all had a blast at Galaxy Land, riding as many rides as we could for 6 1/2 hours!!




Nora is actually quite a thrill seeker! She loved the rides... especially the roller coaster!






Curtis and I each rode the Mind Bender roller coaster, too!! It was GREAT!! At least I thought so :)
I had to go on it twice!

West Edmonton Mall... Day 1 and Day 2

Here's just a few pictures of the first 2 days at West Ed!
The first day was very exciting! We had front row seats at the Sea Lion Show, and even got our picture taken beside a sea lion! (I'll try to scan that picture onto the computer when we get home)
We had an all day pass to the Marine Life Caverns where we saw sting rays, penguins, sea stars, reptiles and other sea creatures. We were even allowed to touch some of them, and even Nora got to feel a sting ray and sea star! She really loved the sting rays!!

The kids have been inside the whale's mouth about a dozen times already!

We also got to watch amazing young ice skaters that looked almost professional! Nora was pretending to be a "princess on ice". Watch the video and you will see....

The second day had us playing at the Water Park for 5 1/2 hours!! We all had so much fun on the waterslides and in the wave pool!

Visit at Mom and Dad's!

We started out our vacation with a visit at Mom and Dad's in Weyburn last week end! It was a really great time!








Now we are in Edmonton and enjoying the West Edmonton Mall attractions!! More pictures will come later...

















As said by Levi..."me dance around in circles". Play video and you will see...

This and That

It's been a while since I've "blogged", so I thought I'd give an update. I don't have any pictures this time, though. Mostly I've been taking pictures lately to post items on my Etsy site I started about 2 weeks ago. Etsy is an online marketplace for handmade goods.
Please check out my Etsy page and give me any comments, or advice you may have. Also, if you have ideas for things you'd like to see me have for sale, let me know that too.

We're also starting to get ready to leave for our family vacation! We're heading out to West Edmonton Mall! We'll also be stopping in at Mom and Dad's in Weyburn on the way there and at Jen and Greg's in Regina on the way back! It'll be so nice to take a trip, and the kids are counting down the sleeps! I've shown them pictures online of WestEd, and they are very excited! There's a lot to pack for 9 days!!
