Boo is SEVEN!!

*remember I am working a little backwards, this one was started but life got in the way!!
WOW when did our little girl get so big!
Claire was very excited for her birthday this year! usually she doesn't talk about it much until like the day before, but this year she was all for it and more!! Her Birthday fell on a week day so we did the traditional cupcakes at school for her classmates!! thanks to Auntie Diamonds trick we made rainbow icing on confetti cupcakes!! she was soo excited to share them at school.



I lost the pictures of her rockin' bowling party!!! ahhhhh I think they are on the old mac that crashed!! so mad.
Anyways I made her a 3D bowling ball and two bowling pins, it was fun to make then I found a cake pan for little balls so I made baby bowling balls for her friends. She said it was the best party EVER!! Claire isn't one to exaggerate things so that's a big compliment. We love our Boo, she is such an awesome daughter, sweet and loving to her family and friends. I look forward to many more years with this girl as she grows into an even more amazing girl. ( kinda scared for the teen years but can't wait too!!)

Randomness

I just felt like doing a quick post.
Things I LOVE right now
My Hunny being home
Boo having fun at school
Bubba picking his winter coat the same color as his daddy's
Roo wanting me to play with her ALL the time
Bubbles trying cereal! and a bottle-not liking either.
Me keeping my home cleaner than I usually do.hehe
I have also been on a bit of a craft kick, am excited for Boo's birthday and every once in a while I dream of what I hope it will be like when we go on our cruise in JAN.(so excited!!!)

School's IN !!

This is the big guy going to grade 4. yep I said grade FOUR!. He has a male teacher for the first time, I think it will be great for him. There should be more male elementary school teachers I hope that Spencer responds well to a male influence over the maybe repetitive woman's voices he hears on a regular basis telling him what to do!!





This is our little princess on her way to grade 1. She is so excited to be a full time student, she loves to read and is going to be as good as her big brother at math. Her little sis is going to miss her big time! But I look forward to them both coming home for lunch, it so fun to hear about there day so far.

Sweet Dreams!!

I have been having the craziest dreams lately, like crazy prego dreams. I don't know but I pretty sure I am not pregs. So why the weird dreams. The other night I dreamt that while on my way home from Red Deer I stopped in Claresholme to get gas at the 7/11. While inside this man comes in to rob the place and takes me hostage. We take off towards Calgary, while driving I try to convince him to let my children go and then finally he stops at Aldersyde and lets us all out. But it was soo real I was kinda upset when I woke up and replayed the dream in my head. I'm okay with it now I think i better stop eating so late at night and maybe I will get gas somewhere else on my way home this time!!!
If you feel like sharing tell your craziest dream....

And his name shall be Arron Hakkon Strong

Our handsome baby boy decided to join us April 27th'2009. He weighted 7 lbs 15 oz Right from the beginning we could tell that he was going to be a calm, mild mannered baby. He is a BIG sleeper too. Arron is perfect and we all love him. His siblings are very protective of him and are so careful with him. Unfortunately Merrill had to leave for work in Red Deer three days after. It has been crazy the last couple months. I was soo glad when school was finished for Spencer and Claire, we can just relax and have fun!!!



He came out so fast I didn't even have time to change!! (I don't usually show the right after the baby is born pictures but this one is not that bad)

My Baby boy is 9!!!

I can't believe Spencer is nine, I still see him as my tiny little boy.I am so thankful to have him, he is the best big bro, I am glad that he is the oldest child. My little miracle boy just keeps on amazing us, he has overcome just great odds in his nine years so far. I am so proud of how well he handles the trials in his life.
For his birthday this year he just wanted a small party, so we went swimming and grabbed some pizza on the way home. He only wanted his best friend Avery to come so that's all we did, Oh and I spent hours on his cake. He wanted star wars of course so we looked at some pictures and he picked R2D2. (not my best cake so far) I did try but it was hard doing the stars by hand, the boys kept coming in the kitchen and asking me questions like how many times have you done this? and how long is it gonna take you to finish?? It was fun!!

Little Roo turns Two!!

Our Little Marissa is growing and growing. We are so happy that she came into our lives, February 1st, 2007 She was born in Raymond two weeks "early" she weighted 7'11 and was a little jaundice, but still a perfect and beautiful baby. A few weeks later she was hospitalized with a severe cold, the Raymond Hospital was supposed to test her for RSV, but they didn't and we were sent to Lethbridge for a week of HE_ _. We were pretty sure it was RSV but she came thru; the little fighter that she is.














Now she's two and has quiet the personality, she fits right into this family as I am sure this is exactly where she needs to be.

Nana's Birthday

Saturday,January 24th
Nana's special day
My mom doesn't like her picture taken therefore it is hard to find nice pictures of her. I wonder why I don't like my picture taken !???!
We had a nice day just hanging out, Orrlan and Diamond came with there little ones, we played rumoli, ate lots and had a really nice day together.
For my Birthday one of my presents from mom was a cake decorating kit, soo I decided to use my stuff for her cake, I looked online for a image of a cake that I could copy. It was hard alot are fondant cake designs then I found this cute little rose tree cake, copying it was harder than I thought but still fun to make, I should have kept track of how much time I spent on it but however long it took it was worth it!!
