Zoë turns four

My baby girl is now four, she had a super fun birthday this year which lasted for 3 days. Her birthday was Sunday so we went to the Stanfords for family dinner and Zoë got spoiled with gifts and it was decorated for a princess. She picked out her dinner which was hot dogs and fruit, she loved it.

My VERY rushed job on her birthday cake. It tasted better then it looked.


Day 2 we went to my parents place and had family dinner with them with pumpkin pie for dessert. She got to open even more presents there. I forgot to take pictures when i was there.

Day 3 Zoë said she wanted to have a sleepover for her birthday so I let her have 2 friends spend the night. They had a tonne of fun having pizza, opening presents, playing games, and watching a movie. She wanted a fairy themed birthday so I got tinkerbell the movie and bedding/nighties for them.

Zoë got to pick out a new outfit for her bunny Flopsy for her birthday, she picked a very colourful dress


Needless to say i'm ready for a NAP

Cabin

We had lots of fun at the cabin even if it wasn't great weather for most of the time. We would go on the paddleboat quite often and when we did the first time I had the kids swim back to the dock. Each time after that they would go in the water, even when I didn't want them too as they didn't have there swimsuits on.

My kids are obsessed with dogs, no fear at all. They LOVED having Toozik around at the cabin, and I got to admit it was VERY nice when it came to bedtime, they were so exhausted you never heard a word from them.



It was bathtime one evening so I decided to make a sign for Lee and have the kids go see him while he was playing xbox. I should do it more often, worked like a charm.

Montana/Southern Alberta

Lee's grandma passed away in her sleep last week so we went to the cabin a little earlier so my parents could watch the kids while we went to her funeral.

This was Zoë with her last year when we went to visit on our way to the Sefcik reunion.

It was nice seeing the Stanford relatives as we don't get to see them very often, even if it was under not great circumstances. I believe these are all the Stanford cousins and aunts/uncles minus one cousin.










Uncle Mark Stanford invited us on his pontoon boat one day while we were in Montana on Flathead Lake. it was a nice trip but we were thinking it was only going to be an hour so we definetely weren't prepared when we were on there for 5 1/2 hours! That is a HUGE lake as we didn't even come close to going to the end.

The Comedy Club

Zoë and Jayden are HILARIOUS to listen too. They were playing playdough for awhile and just listening to there conversations had me laughing the whole time.

Jayden was telling Zoë that when she goes "nanananannana" it's not nice and it's because she doesn't love herself. Then they proceed to go in a deep conversation about loving themselves.

(Zoë goes in time out for lying)
She starts counting 1, 2, 3 and says she has done 3 minutes in time out. I tell her it's only been 3 seconds so she counts again 1, 2, 3, minutes, i'm done!

When Zoë is done timeout she goes to Jayden and tells her why she was in timeout for lying, and that she always lies. Jayden asked if its cause Dreyton tells her to lie because Drew always tells her to lie.
