Princesses on Ice

We took Zoe to see Disney Pricesses on Ice. She loved it! And I did too! I think Ethan liked the cotton candy and snow cones more!

Star Wars in Concert

We saw Star Wars in concert with some friends of ours. We really had a nice time, the orchestra was wonderful. I think the one who had the most fun was John and Zoe - they both love music! Zoe was pretending to be a music conductor and really got into it!

2009 Halloween

Introducing Batman and Cinderella:

Zoe turns three years old!

Zoe turned three this past Sept! We celebrated all week. But here are some pictures from her party at Chuck E Cheese with 16 of her closest friends. Since Zoe loves Dora - we decided to have a Dora themed party.

After Chuck E Cheese, we invited the family to come over for food and so Zoe can open up her presents. Since we just did this for Ethan (about a month before) Zoe was so excited for it to be her turn. Instead of cake, we had ice cream sundaes which everyone enjoyed.

One of the gifts Zoe got for her birthday was a Snow White scooter. She also got a new Barbie helmet and knee pads. She is trying it out below:

Summer 2009

SOOOO much has been happening ... the summer flew by so quickly. Over the summer, we were busy...we moved into a new house, we went to Chicago for my brother, James and Annie's wedding, then went to Chicago for my brother, Jason and Samantha's wedding. Ethan turned 5 years old, graduated from preschool and started kindergaren at a new school. Zoe started potty training and moved from her toddler class to preschool. She still loves to sing, learned this new song and we just cant get enough..so cute!

Here are a couple pictures and video from the summer:

Mother's Day 2009

Wow, I cannot believe it has been so long since I've posted on my blog! We've been insanely busy that time has flown by.

On Sunday, John took us to the Fairmont Hotel for Mother's Day brunch. They had so much good food-the kids even enjoyed it. They had set up a mini-buffet on shorter tables for the kiddies so the kids could get their own food. They also had a dessert table which included a cookie decoration area.

For dinner - we went over to John's parents' house and celebrated with all of John's siblings. It was the first time in a while that all 7 kids were there to celebrate Mother's day with their mom.
