I need to be better

I need to be better at keeping this updated. In my defense the computer that I have all our pictures on went crazy and we almost lost everything. Well, Stephane is finally 1!!!!! I have pictures but I have to wait to see if the files got corrupted by the virus that we had. He loves to dance! I know that I have put videos of him and Marie-Eve dancing together but he grooves anytime that there is music. Sometimes I catch him rocking at church with the hymns. Marie-Eve just recently became a dancer and it is interesting to see him groove at such a young age. I love my kids and am suprised by everything that they do.

Christmas pictures Finally

Okay it has been 3 weeks since Christmas but better late than never. We went to Utah and spent Christmas with Lee's family. It was nice to see them again. Before we left we got Marie-Eve her big present Guitar Hero Worl Tour. It was more for the family but she is the one that had been begging for it. She dosen't really get how to play but Lee and I have lots of fun playing it. Lee did teach her how to power stance while she plays (like on School of Rock). She loves it!!!

While we were there Utah had a ton of snow. Grana bought Marie-Eve snow pants and boots so she could play in the snow without getting cold. We had so much fun playing and Stephane even got to join in. He loved the snow.

Christmas Eve we decorated the sugar cookies that Aunt Jessy and gingerbread cookies that Grana made for Santa.

Even Stephane helped out.

We also made a Gingerbread house. Can't you tell how thrilled Marie-Eve

was about taking this picture. lol

Coming down for Christmas!!

This was hilarious! She got this in her stocking.

It is "The Super Dupper Reindeer Pooper".

It pooped out brown jelly beans. Stephane did help me a little bit with unwrapping his presents.

He would tear off a little piece and then put it in the box next to him.

He was so proud of himself.

Grana and Grandpa got him this rocking bull. It sings with a moving mouth and everything.

Car seat and dryer

It comes a time when are kids get to big for things and it was time for Stephane to get out of his infant car seat. He isn't quite one but he is over 20 pounds and walking. He loves it and is glad to see something other than the back window.I was doing laundry the other day and Stephane was there pulling everything out of the dryer as usual. I kept telling him to stop it and the next thing I knew he was inside. Now everytime I open the dryer he climbs in and hands the clothes. Well, at least he is being useful.

Crazy kids

Since Lee's parents came for Thanksgiving they decided to bring Marie-Eve her big present that was to hard to ship. We had her open it then so they could see her do it. It is a big doll house and she LOVES it. Stephane even helped her open it.

Some miscellaneous pictures of the kids. They are so freaking adorable. Can he have bluer eyes?

My little cutie.

This is his mischievous look.

Stephane always has to have what Marie-Eve has and usually she willingly shares. She was eating a poptart and Stephane wanted some to so he just climbed onto her lap.

It's been awhile

I need to be better but sometimes it is hard to get on the computer with everything that is going on. The computer is hooked up to the tv and someone is always using it or the kids are awake and won't let me sit down. lol But I am here and the kids are getting excited for Christmas (okay, Marie-Eve is and Stephane dosen't have a clue). Lee's parents came for Thanksgiving and Lee was thrilled. Until, the army sent him to a class that made him only have Thanksgiving off so he didn't spend the time he wanted with him. So we are going to Utah for Christmas!!! We are counting down the days and looking forward to seeing everyone again. The kids are going to have the best Christmas ever because it has been a long time since little kids have been there for Christmas so of course, they are going to be spoiled. But thats okay just means less work for us. :)

GAS!!!

Has anyone as excited as I am about the depleting price of gas. I LOVE IT!!!!! Tonight I saw gas for $1.99. Can you believe it? I remember when it was $0.99 and we thought it was expensive. Finally I can breath again when I put gas in the car.

He is finally doing it

Okay, Stephane has been taking a couple of steps here and there for a couple of weeks now. After dinner tonight I thought we would try to get him to walk back and forth between Lee and I. It hasn't worked before but it was worth a try. Of course, he proved me wrong and did it over and over. He loved it and kept laughing and couldn't stop going back and forth. Here is a video that Lee took while it was going on.
