Judo

Last night I took the two older kids to see what Judo was all about. To say we all loved it is an understatement! It was great. Within a minute my wild, rambunctious, excited five year old boy was captivated and listening to what he needed to do.

It starts out with a workout, which was pretty intense, lots of running....forward and side-step running. The kids were all sweating. After that there was tons of floor mat stretching, pushups, sit-ups, just about every exercise imaginable.

The Judo that we went to is a family run operation consisting of the Mom, Dad and three kids. It was great to see a really close knit family all working together. At one point the brother who is the Sensei gave his sister trouble for not doing her pushups properly and to my dismay she didn't get up to smack him but (without even doing so much as an eye roll) did extra pushups as she was told (really she was told) to do. It showed me that they have a unique family bond, I believe in part because of Judo.

So I bought them each a Judogi, knowing that we would be going back weekly. To be honest I can't wait until next week, except next week I am bringing my camera. I can't believe I forgot it!

It has been a while....

Well I haven't blogged in a long time, but I don't want to give up on blogging so here we go again :)

Today I looked up what geocaching is (I always thought it had something to do with catching bugs) and I am so excited to do it. What a neat idea. I think it is something my whole family will love and it will give Brad an excuse to use his GPS! There are so many caches out there!! There is one literally about 50 steps from my front door that I never knew existed! I am off to find it tonight if I get time. How cool.

I am also thinking I am going to start a mini book of them, every time we find one I will get a picture, and have the picture and the date and maybe a little journalling about the location and stuff. Really neat!

Can't wait to start!

Catch Up on scrapbooking...

I have been busy scrapbooking lately (as in the last couple of months). I know my time is coming closer to going back to work and I am trying to get as many pages done that I can. While keeping the house clean of course ;)

This is the page about finding out I was pregnant with Isaac.

The next two are pages from our trip to PEI. Where all of us (minus Isaac because he wasn't born yet) met the ocean for the first time. I had only seen it from an airplane up until that point. It was as magical as I though it would be. I think a piece of my heart stayed on the beach in PEI. I am also aware that it is supposed to be she sells sea shells by the sea shore, Brad filled me in after I glued it all down!! *rolling eyes* I would have been fine to know it as sea shell, sea shell by the sea shore but now I have to look at the page every time and know it is wrong.

This is probably my favourite Basic Grey line of all time, Urban Prairie. I love the colours designs of all the papers.

This is about Annaley and Avery's first day of school, I cried...don't all moms? I was fine about the school but the school bus made me cry, they just seemed so small to be getting on a bus by themselves! At least they had each other though.

I have quite a few more done but I have yet to take pictures of them. I usually scan them as well but since we moved to the farm I have not been able to find my scanner cord! I probably shouldn't call it a scanner anymore and switch the name to dust collector.

Home from vacation.

We got home from a week in Myrtle Beach on Sunday, we had a great time but it always feels so good to be home. I missed my bed the most I think but I really missed my whole house.

Some of the trip highlights were the aquarium, it is definitely a must if you are visiting. We also went to Charleston which was a beautiful city. The beach was probably the favourite spot for the kids though, they had a blast. We had beautiful weather too. I have a few pictures I would like to share of the trip. I just started editing some.
