Hockey, Hockey, Hockey

I guess hockey is really part of our culture when I look through at the latest pics of the kids.  

Emily is getting into the fun with Matthew's goalie mask and ministick.  

Matthew has been enjoying a 12 week hockey program run by the City.  

Andrew is starting to join in on the street hockey games. 

Here is Matthew getting ready to play.  He has the white helmet, red jersey and is facing the camera.  It does remind one of the story in "The Hockey Sweater", except the sweater to have in this town is the red Flames jersey.  

Emily turns 2!

Well our Emily turned 2 at the start of October.  We didn't have to think too long and hard to decide what kind of party she would like.  She is a Curious George fanatic through and through, so a Monkey theme it was.   

We had the party in the Kinderroom at the nearby leisure Centre.  It has an indoor playground climber/play area, attached to a kitchen and bathroom.  Everything a bunch of young children need for fun.  Here we are pushing up a cart filled with all the party supplies. 

The monkey cupcakes were a hit with the kids.

Emily was pleased with all the party snacks.

She blew out the candles, with a little help from her friends.  

Fun at the start of the playground climber.

Lucky Emily also took part in a family October birthday party in conjunction with Thanksgiving.  Andrew feeling a bit left out being the only spring birthday, was ready and willing to help her open presents.  

Fun times in September

Here are some photos from the end of summer and into Sept.  I have a lot to post over the next while with Emily's birthday last week, and Matthew's soon upcoming.

Here is Emily in a fall time outfit, taking Buzzy Bee for a walk.

Emily really likes to be surrounded by "George" , "Dolly", her precious blankets and often a few other stuffed animals when she eats and sleeps. 

Andrew has been pretty crafty.  Here he is painting a birdhouse.  He also really likes his puzzles, lacing cards, play dough and games lately.  

He helps me in the kitchen and here is making pizzas for supper.  

When Daddy gets home all the kids like to run over and tackle him.  Even Emily is in the back getting in on the action.  

Here our three monkeys are all enjoying their bananas on the little couch.

Andrew likes making a funny face for the camera.  Sometimes it is hard to get a serious shot of him.  

Matthew loves turning the house into a fort.  Here he and his stuffed animals are safe behind their walls.
