Happy 5th Birthday Jada

Jada had 2 small parties and one large friends party.

So top collage we have in the top left, Grandpa holding Jada while she is blowing out her candle while Jill watches. Top right, Jada is opening her present from Uncle Brian & Jill. Bottom left is the quad that we bought Jada for her birthday and bottom two left are Jada opening her gift from Grandma & Grandpa Welk.

This collage is full of the fun we had with all the kids from her class. We played a lot of fun games with balloons. Eric was a great help during this time. Thanks Eric. Presents where opened as well in this large circle group.

Then there was cake and singing. This group of kids was amazingly behaved.

Once all the food and fun was done at our house we all headed to the movie theatre to watch Toy Story 3 and they were very well behaved in the theatre.

Happy Birthday to my special 5 year old.

Retro Dance

My cousin Stephanie was gracious enough to lend me a bunch of dance costumes from when she was young. Can you guess what era she was young in? The kids had so much fun trying all these costumes on!!! Jada loved this blue outfit. She wanted to wear this all day long. She even wanted to wear it for halloween.

Mamma Mia

Thanksgiving Sunday we (Casey, Shayne, Eric, Sara, Jada, Grandma & Grandpa Welk, and Uncle Nathan) all went to see Mamma Mia in Regina. First stop was of course the Mongoli Grill. It is a favorite of ours.

Jada sat beside Grandma (which is of no surprise) and everyone else was down the line. The big kids wouldnt hold still long enough for me to take a picture. Since you arent allowed camera's in there I was trying to be sneaky.

This was the kids' first musical theatre and they all really enjoyed it. I thought it was a great show.

More of Trooper

Well the little Trooper is growing and exploring so much more. She comes and goes up the stairs and all around the house as she pleases these days. Her and Copper are becoming friends. Copper wants to play with her non-stop and follows her around ALL day long. Trooper is starting to respond back and play. The hisses are getting less and less. Copper is the happiest if she is biting him, whether it is on the face or paws. He just lays right down and holds really still. It is so precious.

Trooper can fall asleep at the drop of a hat too. She is very trusting of everyone and will expose her belly. Yes, in the picture below she is on the table enjoying some cat milk & kitten food. and No I do not let her up there anymore. And then the bottom right picture is Lilly enjoying a belly rub from Jada.

Fall Skate School

This fall, Sara was involved in Swift Currents Fall Skate School. It is a great time to get your feet "wet" again before the season starts. She has a lot of fun during these times with her friends. She is wearing the ivory shirt in the collage below. I dont know what this jump is called, but she has been working very hard to get it mastered. Still not there yet, but working on it.

Below are some stretching and just hanging out and watching.
