Becoming more social....

It's amazing...I am actually getting out of the house a lot lately. Let's see, the wading pool last Thursday, dinner at Necy's two days ago, birthday party at the neighbors yesterday and we're heading to our friends house tomorrow for their anniversary. Next week Meio has 3 days off in a row. I think we're going to the zoo on Sunday. Then next Friday the kids and I are heading to Necy's for this big bbq and the next morning we are going to the big stampede breakfast at Chinook Centre. Not bad for a normally reclusive chic.
I bought the coolest thing yesterday...the SpongeBob SquarePants monopoly game. I found it at Wal-Mart for only $10. Guess what Meio and I are doing on his days off. Bananahead...I challange you to a game whenever you come visit!
Ooh, I'm looking out the window and it seems we're in for another storm, yipee!

The Facebook Phenomena

OK, so what I'd like to know is why is facebook, myspace, etc so popular? I find myself on there all the time. Is this replacing e-mail? Maybe CSIS and the CIA are using these pages to spy on people. Of course now that I said that, my next blog posting will be from some secret government jail.
Anyhow, I forgot to mention in my last posting that I almost started a fight at the wading pool. This stupid young mom (with 3 little kids, one a baby) lit up a cigarette right there in a park filled with kids. Seeing as how she parked her stupid ass next to us I wanted to get up and punch her dumb head in. But alas I figured that would not set such a great example for all the little kidlets there. If she had dared light up another one I was going to shout at her that my babies did not want lung cancer and to use her f@#*ing head. What a b*tch, I think smoking around your kids should be considered child abuse. Not to mention lighting up in a park full of children (she should be fined heavily for that!).

Fun in the Sun

Took the kids downtown yesterday, to play at the little wading pool by Eau Claire Market. First we met my friend Wanda for lunch (her little girl and Rosie are becoming really good friends, it's totally cute!). Then we all headed to the waterpark. It was quite a long afternoon but we all enjoyed the beautiful weather. Plus I found out (seeing as how we passed right by it) that we have an Old Spaghetti Factory downtown. I've never eaten there but heard it's awesome (I've wanted to go to the one in gastown, Vancouver for a long time). Wanda and I plan to go there next month. Oh and I had the best smoothie ever from Ben and Jerry's. I'm so going there again!

To A Fine Young Lady

HAPPY 14 BIRTHDAY TO MY VERY COOL NIECE, TAMI!
We love ya lots and had a blast while you were here, Rosie keeps asking about you!

Hanging Out With Dad

Yesterday Meio received some football tickets for the first pre-season game between the Stampeders and Edmonton. Now no one in this house particularly likes or understands football but he thought Rosie might like doing something like that with him. So he got off work early last night, came home to pick up Rosie and off they went to the game. Apparently she enjoyed herself immensely. They got home at about 11:30 and she was so wound up it took a long time to get her to bed. Needless to say she's been sleeping a lot today. I think its super cool that Meio took Rosie out like that, he enjoyed himself and hinted that he would love to do that again sometime.

Quick Ryan Update

I forgot to mention in my last few posts, Ryan is now 15lb 7oz and 26" long (as of last Friday). But seeing as how he's eating rice cereal now his weight will probably skyrocket. Oh and to all my friends and family you'll be getting photos of the kids after June 26 (that's when I have to pick them up).

Not Spoiled...Yeah

So my mom, sis and niece just left this morning after a week long visit. In the last week the kids have gotten an exersaucer and playmat (for Ryan), stuffies, practically a whole new wardrobe, hockey sticks and ball, a hockey jersey (for Rosie), an unbelievable amount of treats for Rosie (who, by Sunday, had had too much junk and puked), a couple of lunches out and a trip to the Telus World of Science/Creative Kids Museum. I probably forgot numerous things in that list. Plus they bought a ton of groceries, changed diapers, did dishes and laundry and babysat so Meio and I could go to Pirates 3 ( a gift from Jody and Wanda...THANX!). It was a FANTASTIC week, I hope they can come visit again so we can spoil them. My niece has turned into the most awesome young lady.

Science Centre

We went to the Telus World of Science/Creative Kids Museum on Saturday. My sis and I got some pretty cool pics. I think these two are among my faves. I now have a facebook page so maybe I'll try to figure out how to create a photo album with that.

Growing, Growing, Growing

So Mr. Ryan has started eating rice cereal. He seemed to like it quite alot. Plus he has just started getting his first tooth, so he was a little cranky this morning. Rosie's vocabulary has gotten quite advanced. Today she picked up her little Elmo purse, looked inside and said, "Oh no, no money!" My mom, sis, niece (who are all visiting) and I laughed for a good ten minutes about that.

On the Move

Ryan rolled over for the first time on Thursday. So it has begun, he's starting to get mobile. Should be interesting once he really gets going, Rosie will probably trip over him a few times.
The weather is finally really nice here. We've been spending alot of time outdoors. Rosie just got a tricycle last night so I'm gonna take her out today to show her how to ride it. I'll take pics and video clips. Oh and I'll try to get a video clip of Ryan rolling. I've been taking lots of pics lately. I'm thinking of creating a sort of online baby book, but don't really know how to go about creating such a thing.
