Family Camp 2008

So about a week and a half ago we headed out for our family vacation of the summer. We started out Friday at a family reunion in Magrath for Jon's mothers family the Walton's. Great fun was had there, they have what is basically a huge slip and slide built into the side of a hill and the kids LOVED it. It was great I got to know some of cousins a lot better and basicaly everyone just socialized and played all weekend.


Sunday we headed to hill spring and visited an old friend of mine and stayed over night there, then we headed to waterton for two nights. We had a great time just enjoying our family and the out doors, we went to red rock canyon had ice cream at The Big Scoop, and went to cameron lake to wade in the water.

Next we went and spent one night in the Johnston canyon camp ground and then we hiked up to the upper falls in Johnston canyon. It is a beautiful walk and if you get the chance you must do it. after the hike we headed home to our own warm beds. It was a fabulous trip we had a ton of fun and really just relaxed and enjoyed each others company I dont know why but there was a lot of talk about underwear ( ryans recent obscession) but you really had to be there to get it.

Anyway here are a few pictures:

Ryan insisted I get a picture of his bubble, I didnt realize what I was photographing until later.

Skyler chillin by the campfire at Johnston Campground

Skyler had quite the snooze in the kid pack on the Johnston canyon hike

I was just trying to get a nice picture of a little boy walking by a fence but he kept turining around and sticking his tounge out whenever I went to take a picture. What a goof. This is by Cameron lake in Waterton

Just a cute picture of the squirt taken by Jon

Me and Breanna by Cameron falls. Taken by Jon.

Breana Showing off her first aid skills. She insisted I needed a bandaid for a little cut. Again taken by Jon

Skyler LOVED the waterslide.

So did everyone else.
and who can pass up the oppourtunity to play in the mud?

Thats all for now folks!

What Breanna said:

Mom you should go sit on the couch and rest, you look a little sick.


What Breanna meant:

Mom go into the living room so I can hide in the kitchen and eat a cup of sugar.

Tag!

Ok i promise I have a real honest to goodness post coming. Really. Here is a tag from nikki. You type your name into a search engine with the word is or wants and see what comes of it. For example "Heather is"



Here is what I got.

Heather is actually quite tall and brainy.

well I have never been described as that but I will take it as a compliment

Heather is a beautiful woman that has entertained us for decades

Well thank you Im glad I could bring joy into the world

Heather is a young, single, working woman

uuhhhhh I am afraid you have been misinformed.

HEATHER IS WATCHING

yes even you.

Heather is the one with the muscles.

Yeah anyone want to arm wrestle?

Heather is growing quite nicely in its pot

just give me a little water every couple days and I am good!

Heather is a scank and a fat slob

the internet is not very nice sometimes!

Heather is furious

wouldnt you be if someone said that about you?

Heather is not above bribing people for their affection

only when they say mean things to me.

Isin't it ironic

Now that Breanna is in a booster seat she has a habbit of unbuckling herself whenever we stop. Even if it is just a quick stop she will unbuckle herslef and since she cant do it back up herself so I have to go back and buckle her back up. It bothers me from time to time and this morning when she did it I was muttering about putting her back in a regular car seat so she could not do it anymore.

Anyway not ten minutes later when we go pick her friend up to drop them both off at school somehow I manage to lock my kids and my keys in the car. Thank heavens for a kid who can unbuckle herself so she could unock the door for me.

Caught in the act

I seriously want to take that seed away everytime I see this picture

all right all ready

I know i have heard it from everyone I have not blogged in forever! So to appease the masses here you go! Some happenings in the Hill house.

• Ryan is four yay! He had a good birthday will lots of presents from grandparents and aunts and uncles and mom and dad. My kids are going to get spoiled. They have so many people who love them and I love that.



• Jon is 33, my hubby is growing up too, hee hee hee.



• Jon is doing papers in the morning, he is an on call paper deliverer. He usually gets a call the night before telling him which route he is doing for the next morning or the next few mornings. Sometimes though he gets an extra route in the morning. The other day he did 300 papers in one morning. The man is a machine. He seems to like it and the extra income is nice too.



• I am blogging my first blog on our new computer. We decided to use some of our tax return on getting a new desk and a new case for our computer. As many of you who have been here know our old computer was very noisy. It would get hot inside and the fan would kick into high gear and make a loud high pitched hum. So we decided to get a better ventilated case with fans to keep everything cool. Well we were putting all our computer guts into the new case and then we saw smoke. Not so good when you are dealing with computer. Smoke= Replacing almost all the computer components because they are either toast or not compliant with the new stuf. I love the new computer it is so very wonderfully quiet



• I am seriously tickled pink that spring is on the way. I can not wait till the snow melts from the parks and we can go play and take walks in the ravines, so excited!

well anyway here are a few pictures to leave you with

Breanna with the mini mandarins. So Cute! (the oranges are cute too!)

How much is that baby in the window?

Ryan at the ice castle

Good Idea, Bad Idea

Good Idea : Taking the door key off the key ring so you can lock the car with the engine running so you can have a warm frost free car to get back into.

Bad Idea: Taking every key BUT the door key off the ring so what you actualy do is lock your keys in the car at 7:00 in the morning at the Seven Eleven.

(oh and it is also a good idea to marry a man who is handy with a coat hanger and also has a wonderful father who will pick you up take you home and then take said husband to get the keys out of the car)

I really dont know what to say about this one, but I feel it just had to be posted anyway.

My Bucket List 30 random things

The other night we had Young Womens activity where we made lists of 100 things we wanted to do before we turned 100.

Mom: Breanna why did you colour all over Skyler's back? (with dry erase marker)

Breanna: Mom, I was just decorating for the holidays.

What on earth do I do with that one especially considering the holidays are OVER!

In the car

Ryan: Were we goin mom?

Mom: Walmart

Ryan: Why we goin Walmart?

Mom: To buy presents.

Ryan: Who we buyn presents for?

Mom: We are getting presents for your aunts and uncles. Santa gets presents for good boys and girls.

Ryan: I a really good boy. I a really SUPER good boy.

Good bye 2007

CRASH

don't mind the noise that was just Nikki falling off her chair because she cant believe I actually blogged :)

now here are some random mumblings at the end of 2007.

• Breanna is almost half done kindergarten, it almost blows my mind. She loves it she never complains about getting out the door and is always happy to go. On the two occasions she has not been well it took some serious convincing to get her to accept staying home. She does not want to miss one bit of learning, well and the fun of course.
• Ryan has finished a speech sounds class through the community health center and he loved it. I has helped him be more understandable and he loved the setting.
• Skyler is totally mobile and walks all over like a pro. Jon has also taught him to wrestle in fact it is not safe to lie down on the floor for fear of a baby belly dropping on your head. Thanks Jon. He is also totally weaned now and is learning the meaning of sleeping through the night (yippee)
• I don't know why but my kids are weird eaters these days. Ryan will pig out at breakfast. The kid will eat three breakfasts if you let him but good luck getting him to eat anything significant at lunch or supper. Breanna wolfs down supper. Two and often 3 helpings. Skyler is different then both. He just pigs out all day. Neither of the other two would ever eat as well as him at this age.
• Christmas was wonderful we spent Christmas eve and Christmas day at Jon's parents house. My kids were truly spoiled they are very blessed to have lots of aunts and uncles and grand parents who love them. They still have not taken all of their presents out of the box. We are trying to stretch out the fun so they don't play with them all for a couple of days then lose interest. Ryan got a couple of race car sets that he (and Dad) absolutely love. Breanna is in love with her Kid digital camera and her Fur Real chimpanzee named Queen. Skyler is young enough that he wants to play with whatever anyone else is playing with, wether it is his toy or Breannas or Ryans.
• My husband totally rocks and went out at 4 in the morning and waited for 2 hours in the cold on boxing day. He got me a couple of memory cards for my camera for dirt cheap prices. He loves me, what can I say.
• I am seriously loving having Jon around for the holidays and I am sad he has to go back on the second. But you know the whole responsibility thing earning a living. You know how it goes.
• We are babysitting a car for Jon's sister for about 6 months. So for a while we get to be a two car family. Yay! it will be really nice while Jon is taking classes. Mind you by the time it goes back we might be so spoiled we want another one of our own. We have been thinking about it anyway, we will see.
• I feel very lucky and blessed at the end of this year to have the husband and children that I have. The bring me more Joy then I could ask for.
• I hope you all had a good Christmas and Happy New Year!

Who wants to make dinner?

Heather: you should make supper tonight I dont feel like cooking

Jon: I made breakfast!

Heather: I make meals all the time I like not being the one to make dinner

Jon: What about the summer...

Heather: Yes you barbequed a lot but I still made most of the meals. (a light bulb goes off in Heathers head)

Enter democracy

Heather: Breanna who do you think should make supper me or daddy.

Breanna: DADDY!

Heather: Ryan who do you want to make dinner Daddy or me?

Ryan: (pointing to himself) MEEE!!!!

then he was off like a lightening bolt so excited and proud of himself. Breanna followed him then came back into the room.

Breanna: Mom! he is really going to do it he is going to try to make supper he already moved the bench up to the stove and HE IS GOING TO BURN HIMSELF!!!!!!!!

I guess maybe you had to be there but it was so funny we made him pick a helper (which was Jon hee hee) and he made supper, for a few minutes anyway till he lost interest. Don't worry there was proper adult supervision and no one was burned.

.

The Hills are alive......

Fall has decended on us and our life has a different rythym then the in the summer but we are enjoying it and taking it as it comes.

• Breanna is absolutley loving kindergarten. I feel like there is so much to her now that I dont get to witness first hand. It used to be when Breanna learned something new I was there to see it. Now she goes to school everyday and learns new things from different people and is growing in so many ways all at the same time. She loves her class which is very small only 11 kids. She has made new friends and has settled in quite well. She lost her first baby tooth the other day and the adult one is coming fast underneath it.
• Ryan is talking more and becoming more conversational. He is such a boy. If there is a car in his hand he is a happy camper. He is taking a 6 week speach sounds program that I think will really help him be easier to understand.
• Skyler is walking now. I cant believe that my little baby is growing up so big. He is all over the place and goes up and down stairs in a heart beat and boy you better keep the bathroom door closed because he will be at that toilet so fast. He needs to learn that it is not his private pool.
• Jon is registerd for two classes for this January. His goal is to finish a degree and get a Certified General Accountant designation. I am glad to see him working toward finishing his schooling.
• As for me I dont know if I blogged this yet but I have been released from working in the primary and am now the secretary for the Young women. It is a different but very exciting calling for me and I am loving it all ready.

There you go a quick update on the Hills!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKYLER

Jon's Dragon Boat Team In Lethbridge

Canada Day Shenanigans

Kite Flying

Flying our new (to us) kite.

Look four our new kite at the top of the tree. We think the string snapped. It was neat to watch it sail away. Right up until it landed.

Finding other fun... Ready .... Set... Roll!
Well if there is not kite to fly why dont we try to do it ourselves.

Our kite still sits at the top of the tree. We have yet to figure out how to get it down. Wind was blowing such that the kite was plasterd into the tree there was not way we could shake it down. And I briefly contemplated throwing things but that would probably just mean I would have a kite and a couple sandals stuck in the tree. Easy come easy go.

On her graduation from a car seat to a booster seat.

Breanna: Ryan when you are big enough you can have a booster seat like me!

Ryan: When Im big enough I wanna DRIVE!

here and there

• Breanna had her preschool graduation. I know it seems so funny she is not even five and has already had a "graduation" ceremony. She loved it of course and dad got her a pink stuffed unicorn as her graduation present
• Fathers day has come and gone. Dad got a Beta fish to keep on his desk. Dad asked Breanna what to name it she then told him that he should name it. Jon suggested munchkin. Breanna then said she wanted to name him Donut because she wanted him to have a funny name. Im not sure if the spelling is Doughnut or Donut offically.
• Skyler is sitting and doing the army crawl and will very soon be crawling on all fours. He is beginning to discover the wonderful world of food. Good times. I think he knows that our food tastes better then his does and is always looking at it.
• Ryan is growing by leaps and bounds. He shot up a couple of inches in just a couple of months and out grew pretty much all his pants at the same time. Time for summer cut offs! He is talking more and getting much more conversational.
• We have decided against moving to Saskatoon. For those of you who dont know we had decided to moved to Saskatoon in the hopes that we could buy a house. In the end the houses we could afford were in places we did not want to be in. We thought of renting and decided in the end we would not save that much over what we are paying here. I am happy that we are here. We feel that this is still the place that we are supposed to be. As much as I wanted to be able to own a home we realize that it was not going to work out. We will see what the future has we may move away from Edmonton one day but for now we will stay where we are.
• Jon has offically finished his training at work yay and is now a permanent employee of the government. He is really doing great and enjoying it.
• And it is totaly time for me to go to bed. goodnight.

Their wonderful disgusting imagination.

At the breakfast table eating their oatmeal.

Ryan: Me eating big poop mommy.

Mom: Huh? What did you say?

Ryan: Me eating big poop mommy.

Mom: Breanna what are you eating?

Breanna: Uh nufing?

Mom: What are you pretending to eat?

Pause......

Breanna: Worms! we are baby birds eating worms!

Ryan: Yeah we eating worms.

Featuring a Built In Swimming pool

This morning I got a big pile of laundry ready to take to the basement to wash. Unfortunatley it got stuck on the landing upstairs for a while. Where the kids decided it made a great swimming pool. You know you have too much laundry when your kids can jump down 5 stairs into it and not get hurt.

Well eventually the laundry made its way off the stairs. (ok now it is sitting on the landing in the basement but we will not talk about that) apparently the kids decided the swimming pool was so much fun the first time that they have recreated it again. with a laundry pile of their own creation. I am afraid to find out where it came from.

Bug vs Fry

My two older children are so different in some ways but compliment each other at the same time. Here are some examples.

Computer Games

Breanna: Loves to play
Ryan: Happy to watch.
(ok fine this one has started to change but I loved the way it used to be)

Ham and pineapple pizza:

Ryan: picks all the pineapple off and does not eat it.
Breanna: Eats her pinapple first and happilly takes care of Ryan's as well.

Toilet Flushing.

Breanna: Never remembers to flush.
Ryan: Happy to flush for her and anyone else. Will even stand outside the bathroom door and ask to flush.

Hamburger Helper

Ryan: Eats all the meat
Breanna: Eats all the pasta.
SWITCH PLATES!

• I need to go potty!
• Im a bird that has escaped from its cage
• Super girl is trapped! Someone save me.

Breanna's attempts at rescue after being sent to time out. And why might she be in time outyou ask? Well she bonked Ryan in the head with a little wooden box. Which Im not sure was intentional. You might wonder why I sent her to time out if I dont think she meant to hit him in the head. Well It is because it hit him in the head while it was being used to pour melted ice cream all over him.

My children have this ability to be so creatively mischevous.

Update: on party

Officall day: Tuesday the 15th If you dont know how to get my number please leave a comment and I will contact you. I hope to see you all there!

Girls Night Blog party.

A little story

So we are on the way home and I stop at the grocery store with my sister and kids in the van. I hop out and run in while they wait.

After I finish my quick shop I walk back to the van and see the front seat is empty and think: hmm the kids are probably grumpy and Naomi had to go into the back to help them. Then as I get closer to the van I realize that the babies seat is not where it usually is and I begin to panic. I start to hyperventilate as the unthinkable has actually happened, one of my worst fears. I slap my hands on the window and press my face into the glass as I realize that I HAVE FORGOTTEN MY BABY.

With my face pressed into the window I look at the other seats in the van and notice something peculiar, they are empty as well. I then notice a brown leather purse. I don't own a brown leather purse. There are no car seats in this car. I pull away from the window and look to the other side of the parking lot where my van is actually parked and I walk toward it.

"cookie monster has HAS COOKIES!"

-Ryan

When Ryan wants something now he always seems to need it and he will repeat that word. For example:

I need need juice.

or:

I need need need COOKIE!

I love that his language seems to be coming along more now. We have been somewhat concerned that he is behind for a while and I actually have an appointment with a Speach Language person for him. He does seem to be blossiming in his language though. He often comes up to me and smiles his little grin and just says "Hello Mommy" It makes me melt.

Unfourtunatley the more he talks the more he seems to have to argue with Breanna about. Fun times. Sometimes they play so great sometimes they just fight. Oddly enought I think they enjoy having a sparing partner.

Im feeling like I should blog.

Ok so Jon had surgery this week. He got out of the hospital today he is tired and sore but otherwise recovering well. He expects to go back to work after the Easter weekend in April. It has been a very busy week for me and the kids involving babysitters and driving back and forth from the hospital to see dad. I have hardly been home so I have not been blogging or checking blogs till today. A big thank you to everyone who watched my kids or helped with meals and everything that people have done to make this week a little easier.

Reminiscing

I just was looking back through the archives. (did I mention my blog is 2 years old hee hee) and I found this post lol how fitting. http://therslife.blogspot.com/2005/04/my-minivan.html#comments

Belated Anniversary

I Just realized that a couple of weeks ago I hit my two year bloggiversary! Yay for me!

Out with the old. In with the new.

Well on friday our old mini van died in a flaming blaze of glory. Well actually a steaming sputtering mess. Jon got it to a shop where they told him not to bother fixing it. Anyway we went shopping saturday and now the newest memeber of our family is this:

She is a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport. It is pretty loaded with power doors. Dual sliding doors. Power drivers seat. It has quad seating and a split back seat so you can take out only half of the back seat if you want to. A couple of the big things I notice is the suspension is so much nicer then our old one and the ride is so much quiter inside as all the seals are so much better and the molding is not coming off the passenger side.

Anyway we are so excited and we love the new vehicle.

Oh one last thing. We went to Great West Chrysler Dodge Jeep. They treated us wonderful and really put effort into making the vehicle what we want it to be. If you are looking for a vehicle I suggest going to them.
