Concerts and other fun!

Our weather...

We have been getting A LOT of snow to say the least. Cole and Tyson decided to go out on the back deck and try to shovel away some of the snow from the back door. Let's just say they didn't get very far as there was so much snow and it was so heavy. They did have fun out there together though and built a little snow fort...it ended up caving in on them though ha! It was snowing heavy snow while they were out there so when they finally came in they were very cold and had so much snow on them.

Cole's Band Concert

(Thursday, Dec 10 2009)

Cole is in band this year and he plays the trumpet. He is really enjoying it thus far and we are hoping he sticks to it. I really want all my kids to be musically talented in some way...so here's hoping! =)

Cole with his buddy Chris at the concert

They did very well and we were so proud of Cole. He brings his trumpet home every now and again and plays what he is learning to us.

Kent, Mom and Dad at Cole's band concert

My parents were here for the concert so Cole was excited that they would be able to listen/see him play. They had us all sitting at tables that had drinks and treats on them. Dad had come up to get Mom and take her home since I was recovering well and able to do things on my own. Mom had been up for a week helping out in.

Tyson's Christmas Concert

(Thursday, December 17 2009)

Tyson and his buddy at their concert

I have to say out of all the years of concerts/plays that we have gone to with the kids in them this one was one of my favorites. They had us laughing and enjoying it from beginning to end. Sometimes these plays are a little painful to watch and go to =) BUT as the parent you go and grin and bare it...I am just sayin' this one was a fun one!Tyson didn't have a part in the play this year his grade 3 class sang along with everyone else. Tyson enjoyed himself though and that is what matters.

Silly girl...

As Kent says, "Brynley has now found all of her orifices." (had to look up the spelling on this one ha ha) She is quite thrilled about her belly button and nostrils...or should I say "our" nostrils LOL! She is a quick one and without you even realizing it her finger will be up your nose so fast =) It is quite painful though as she is a very rough little girl! She thinks it is the greatest thing ever =)

Brynley finding her belly button

If she can lift your shirt she will look for your belly button as well. The boys think she is hilarious. But if she does find your belly button she is quick to shove her finger in it as well and let me tell you it doesn't feel good ha ha!

Our computer girl...

"Little Miss" follows by example and let's just say she is a VERY quick learner. She has seen us all on the computer so we are constantly getting her away from the computer as she likes to turn it on and off and click away with the mouse and on the key board. It amazes me that she can move the mouse around and click it like it is no problem.

Dancing...

All you have to say is Dance and Bryn starts bopping away. If she hears any music she instantly starts dancing to it. When my Mom was here she would put the Christmas music on in the kitchen and dance with Bryn. Brynley LOVED this very much. So when my Mom was gone the rest of us had to follow suit and entertain her. The boys have quite enjoyed dancing with her in the kitchen. She is such a happy girl!

Tuckered out

Brynley fell asleep on my bed with a spatula in hand. When I came into my room and found her asleep like this it just melted my heart! She really likes playing with my kitchen dishes/utensils.
