Driving Range

Lee has alot on his plate right now, and he has a hard time balancing all his responsibilties and finding time for fun as well.

He has work/school/church/family obligations that takes up a tonne of time, and he is also on a basketball league most of the year as well. Luckily he figured a way to go to the driving range to practice his golf skills, with me being more then fine with it. He got the kids a jr. set of golf clubs and he took Dreyton the other day while I took Zoë to soccer.

Dreyton had so much fun spending that time with just daddy, especially when he got to get ice cream afterwards.

Bowling

this is just a random picture I found on my camera that I had taken recently. Lee and I had gone upstairs to check on the kids in the playroom as they'd been quiet for awhile. Here they are both crashed on the floor, mid-day.


Lee's brother Greg was in town this weekend, so we decided to all go bowling. This was Zoë and Dreyton's first time bowling, and they keep asking if we can go back to play again. It was a 5 pin glow-in-the-dark bowling alley.

It was so fun to watch them learn to bowl, Dreyton enjoyed keeping us in suspense while we waited a few minutes for one of his balls to get to the end.

Past few weeks

Zoë started soccer a few weeks ago, she gets so excited to go when she has it.


We went to a showhome grand opening last weekend and they had awesome free burgers and did facepainting and balloon animals. Dreyton loved being spiderman for the day.


We always have jack rabbits coming in and out of our yard, the kids love chasing them around the yard.



It's great to go to garage sales and find sweet deals on new toys/clothes. It was the parade of garage sales in a few communities today. I was able to get a few things, my favourites were the dress-up clothes I got.

Dreyton is 3 years old,

and 39 lbs (92%)

His favourite things to do are play computer/wii games and puzzles. He loves anything that he has to figure out and that is more intellectual.

His favourite things to eat are bananas, grilled cheese sandwiches, cucumbers, and porridge.
He dislikes eating spaghetti, tomatoes, and hamburgers.

He loves superhero's right now. Spiderman, Batman, and Transformers, anything that has a special power. He is a very sweet/loving boy when he wants to be, but he can also throw some loud tantrums over nothing.

He loves his full name, anytime someone calls him something else (goofball, or silly boy etc) he makes sure to correct them and says his name is Dreyton Leland Stanford.

Dreyton is in a swimming/variety class right now. He loves to swim and put his face in the water.

Galaxyland

Zoë didn't have preschool this week, so I decided to go to Edmonton area and visit my cousin Heather for a couple days. Our kids are the same age and had alot of fun playing with each other. We went to galaxyland one day and I was so proud of Dreyton. Last year he wouldn't even go on the carousel without being terrified, but this time he went on all the rides the other kids did and loved them. HUGE milestone from last year.

Easter Weekend

The Easter Bunny came. The kids were so excited to wake up and see some chocolate eggs scattered around, telling them that the Easter Bunny had come and had hidden there baskets.




look Mommy, there's chocolate!
Dreyton's been asking for a transformer for weeks, so he was very excited to see one in his basket
Zoë loved getting her monopoly jr board game
Since Daddy had an extra day on the weekend, we decided it would be a perfect time to set up the trampoline Nana Stanford had gotten them for Christmas. Lee was a little tired after spending 3 hours setting it up.
The girls after school with their Easter candy.
We had Jayden and Drew over to do some egg dying, I didn't want too many hard-boiled eggs, so after the kids did two each, we decided to be VERY careful and do my regular eggs.

on Sunday we had an Easter egg hunt with the Stanford cousins. Then afterwards, we went to my Grandma & Grandpa Sefcik's for a very yummy turkey dinner


It was a busy, but fun long weekend. The kids and I loved having Lee home for that extra day, doesn't happen often enough.

Pajama Day

Today was Pajama Day at preschool, Zoë was so excited to be silly and wear them. Jayden is now in Zoë's preschool, they both love being in the same school together. Dayna and I like it as well, as we can help each other pick up the girls, sometimes one stays back at my place with the boys. as I was writing this Dreyton came down the stairs and asked if I could get the sticky stuff off of him.. apparently I depend on Zoë too much to tell me if Dreyton's getting into trouble. After preschool I put a movie on in my room and about an hour later Dreyton comes downstairs COVERED in my thick cream. I go upstairs and see Zoë sleeping, and my bed and table covered in cream. I throw my blanket in the wash and come down after cleaning most of it all up and noticed a inch of water from my basement all over my laundry room and bathroom..... I have done this twice with this blanket. It is a king sized blanket and is obviously too big. Sometimes it works fine, and then twice it has done this.... and Lee has to work late... lucky him!

They were SO excited to see the massive puddle on the park

April Snow

I love conference Sundays, don't have to get dressed up to go to church and can just relax watch conference and send kids '(and husband) outside in the snow afterwards. We got a huge dump of snow this weekend and today was so warm it was perfect snowball weather.
