Jonah was bored one evening and decided to make a movie starring our cat. This is the result. Enjoy!! :)

A LONG overdue update!!
Ok...so it's been many a week and month since I've posted anything on here....AND....since I crashed my van and presently have no vehicle to drive and am stuck at home every day....I decided this was the perfect time to post some new pictures. :P
About the van....yes, I totalled it about 3 weeks ago. (Still kicking myself) I had a rental for about a week but as soon as they settled the claim they wanted it back and we want to wait until the new year to buy something. So.........Trev is now my chauffeur. He has to drive me everywhere. At least it's one way of spending more time together ;).
So, the last time I posted pictures was back in September. I'll just post some from some of the stuff the boys have been doing this fall.
This is Halloween night. Seth went as a prisoner, Jonah was an alien, Sam was a fighter pilot and Jude had to take his turn as the kitty ;).
Jude taking a flying leap into the leaves.
At the beginning of November Samuel was "Student of the Week" and I got to come in and have lunch with him one day.
This was the bulletin board all about Sam that week. Note what he put under "hobbies" right at the bottom. Oh dear....I feel like a really great mom :P
My Seth turned 12!!!
At the end of November, the boys' cousin Troy came and spent a weekend with us. Jonah was THRILLED. They spent one afternoon stuffing their clothes...pretty kooky but they had fun :).
the whole gang
Just throwing a picture of Jude in there...just because I think he's cute ;)
This is Samuel's birthday party. The boys went skating at the rec centre and then we came back to our house for the rest of the party. You would not believe how much noise seven 7 and 8 year old boys can make...wow!!
On November 29 Seth was baptized. I am so proud of my son...what an awesome decision he's made! Paul and Chris came out for that weekend so that Seth's Grandpa could baptize him. That was incredibly special and we're so thankful to them for doing this.
This is Jonah's birthday party in early December. We took the boys glow bowling.
Jonah turned 10!!
Samuel got to make gingerbread houses at school again. That's always a fun day for them.
Even Jude got to make one. Here he is with his one-eyed pose again.
These pictures were just taken yesterday. Jonah and Samuel are in swim club this year....but it's their first year so they're in the non-competitive levels. Yesterday they had their "Skills and Thrills" day where they got to get a taste of competitive swimming. The very first race they did they put Sam and Jonah together. Guess who won??
That's it for now. I'll try to post a little more regularly from now on. I wish you all a very very Merry Christmas!!!

Bye bye crib!!
Hooray!!!! ;) We finally went and bought Jude a bed the other weekend and packed away the crib for good. I'm so excited....no tears here whatsoever!!! Jude was pretty excited too...all the next day he would say "I'm going to look at my new bed". So cute.
One last picture in the crib.
Helping Daddy build his new bed
He was so proud :)
He had to try out various positions
And a nice cuddle with Daddy
We got the bed just in time for Grandma's visit last week so she was able to stay at our house for a couple of nights. The boys absolutely loved that. Jude slept on the floor beside her and he kept telling her he was going to snore and keep her awake. He was so tickled to have Grandma there. Unfortunately I didn't think to take any pictures at all....grrrr. And she's leaving today. Oh well, next time.

First Day of School
The boys started school last week Monday. One week down!! ;) It was a good week...busy but good. Today I finally went through the STACK of papers from school that was sitting on my table so I'm feeling much more organized....(although many of those papers required the writing of a check...that didn't feel so great lol). Anyway, the boys all seem very happy and really enjoyed their first week. I think it's going to be a really good school year :). i made requests for each of their teachers and found out in August that I got them except for Sam's. So 2 days before school started I decided I would be that "meddlesome mother" I sooo don't want to be....lol. I went to the school to see if their was any chance and any room for Sam to get the teacher I requested. I'm very happy to say....it worked!!! They were a little reluctant but agreed to switch him. The only reason they were hesitant about it is that they were hoping to put another girl in the class if they needed to....at this point the grade 2 half of the class is 9 boys and only 3 girls. I feel a little sorry for the girls but am VEEEERY happy Sam got in there.
Here they are Monday morning...ready to head to school.
Seth and Ms. Andrew....she's a fantastic teacher....and tonnes of fun.
Jonah and Mrs. Milz....I heard she's a very kind a gentle teacher...and super good with boys. Jonah really likes her.
Sam's checking out his new desk.
Mrs. Gushulak....AMAZING woman and teacher. Sam actually had her for about 4 months last year when his teacher took a leave of absence. She's a Christian woman and created such an awesome teaching environment. The kids just loved her. And now Sam gets her as his teacher for 2 years!! Yay!
This was on Friday afternoon. One week of school done and Jude is anxiously waiting for his brothers to come home.
Seth...already carrying chocolates for fund-raising. He's fundraising for his grade six week of camp in October. They go to a YMCA camp for one week. We had an information night at the school last week and it sounds like he's going to have a lot of fun. I brought home one box of chocolates from that night and Trev sold the whole thing at work the next day....so he called and said to tell Seth to bring home 2 more boxes. LOL.
Here comes Jonah!!! So sweet.
Here are a few miscellaneous pictures from over the summer.
Last weekend we took the boys to see the Military Museum. They've been wanting to go their for months! Definitely not a trip we'd have made if we had girls ;).
One of Seth's dramatic moments while visiting the zoo. :D
Jude showing off his muscles at the beach :)
Jude sitting and jumping on Jonah while he's buried in the sand
Playing football with the Reimers
And before I end this post, I want to say a BIG HUGE thank-you to all my family and friends for all their hospitality and the wonderful memories they gave us back home this summer. We had a fantastic time and we love you and miss you all!!!! Smooches!!!
