Connor turned 4 on Monday. Grandma and Grandpa Jamieson came over on Sunday night to visit. She bought Connor a piggy bank and towel. Connor got to choose between a monkey and a shark, can anyone guess which one he picked? Connor started running up and down the hall with the towel on and Parker laughed and started to follow him. On Monday it was just me and the boys so I made a made a cake and called it good.

I saw this on a friends blog thought it was cute. I e-mailed the person that made them and then thought I could make them my self. I started talking about them at a family function and found out that my Uncle Don has the tools to make them. I tried to stamp it my self but I was chicken and I wanted it to look good so I made him do it. Stacie was brave enough to do it Thanks Uncle Don you did a great job.
I see kids all the time on the backs of bikes and though it looked fun. So I asked Davis to give me a ride. I bet it is easier when the person on the back is the same size as the one in front.

I am not ask good as Erick at getting the kids to look at the camera but at least they are all in the same spot.

It seemed like the second Lucy walking into the back yard Parker was all over her. Look at the marks he put in her head.

The kids thought it was funny that Chase doesn't let go and you can get her off the ground.

We went up to Stacie to play in the water. Parker just wanted to eat.

The boys have found two new ways to entertainer themselves.

Sorry the video takes a few to get going but Parker was so excited in this one.

We went to Susan's trailer Saturday. I should have known that if it was cold to me down here I was going to freeze up there! And I did, you know as a kid you could wear shorts and a sweater and be fine well those days are over. Connor and Ally loved throwing the rocks.

He has rode this at Erika's before just fine but I was going to let him try it up here. I took him on one ride, and I went slow Owen and Davis pasted me about 4 times on my one trip.

Parker and I stayed back at the trailer. He was entertained by Grandma's cane and then the fly swatter.

I am trying to get out from behind the camara. look at those smile lines

Erika invited us to go to the park. It was exactly what I need. The boys have been driving my batty I took a leave of absence on parenthood this week.

Today was Connor's last day of preschool. I was upset in the beginning because I felt like they were just playing and not learning things I thought he should be learning. But good gravy Connor has changed so much over this year. He talks all the time, you can understand what he says, he follows directions ( if Raider and I am not the one asking him go do something). These are some boys in his class. Collin is in red and Derek is in blue. Collin is the nephew one of my good friends growing up. It was funny to see her in the class room. The last few months we have been running while the kids are in class.

His teacher Mrs. Kriss.

Mrs. Sally and the speech instructor.

I bought Connor a new helmet and he wore it home.

I love having Stacie living close to me. I feel like we play on the spur of the moment. I called her up and said lets go to the trail before it rains we packed up the kids and surprising it never did. I must say that I look good in May's barbie glasses.

I took my eye off Parker for a second to take a picture and this is where was.

sorry this should be up further. After we left the park Stacie called and said that the bike shop 5050 had some kids doing bike tricks. It was crazy but the kids liked.

Every time Connor goes out the play he just wants to dig in the dirt and look for worms. This was Friday morning before the thunderstorm. I don't mind a good storm but not when it shakes the house.
Parker tried to get a drink.

We have taking Con out on his bike around the neighbour hood before on the bike. I thought it would be nice to go to the trail so I wouldn't have to worry about cars. I have wanted to run on this trail but I keep telling Carrie that it is kind of creepy, and it is but we survived. While we were down there I kept thinking how fun would this be do a family bike ride or a nice stroll anyone interested.

We went to the bridge and back. I am the worst at estimating distance (ask Carrie) so I'll just say it was far.

Sorry I didn't take a picture I didn't feel like running 3.1 miles with a camera. I should have posted this about a week ago when it happened but I didn't oh well. I thought I have been doing the Race for the Cure for 5 years but I can only find 4 t-shirts. This is one of my favorite traditions. It started because of my cousin Carlee. You would think it was because my Grandma Alta had breast cancer, my mother in law, Stacie my mom and I have had lumps removed. Nope Carlee asked if I wanted to join her in a walk and I have been doing it ever since. Of course now I walk/ run (depending on who I go with) for all of those reason and for all my nieces. It is defiantly not for those who hate crowds! They say it around 17,000 that sign up. I look forward to it each year and I hope that some day I can come up with a fun t-shirt to wear. My favorite I have seen is Saving Second Base.
