Am I a bad mom for not posting Christmas???

What the...what did I do wrong?!?

Jumping Jumping Jacey- Girl

Chocolate Face

Merry Christmas from us to you...or else just from me!

I love my big girl carseat

We are busy busy in the Bird house. Jon is still working away and I still am hanging with the little miss around the house. She is getting so big and hilarious! Her huge toothy grins are to die for. She is a ridiculously pleasant girl who is a real mommy suck! Jacey is working hard on her physio and we are still waiting bloodwork and genetic testing results. She is just so much fun!! We had a blast at Christmas time visiting with all the family. We did both families this year which worked our perfect. We hosted dinner for the Hinko's at my house, which I was sick in bed for almost all of it the whole time...Horrible Hosting Skills!! Jon's fam stayed overnight during Christmas and we opened presents and did a big dinner out here as well, this one I was not sick for! Jacey loves her new big girl carseat and the rest of her toys are slowly being discovered. I'll post another one of Jon's and my sneak away to LA trip soon. So I have decided I ain't bad, but severely delayed. These will be a few of my fav pics depicting the past few weeks of no blogging... Enjoy!

So months earlier I vowed that I would be a good blogger. I'd read up on others, comment once in a while and keep my own updated. I've turned into a lurker, non-commenting unupdated blogger and for that I am truly sorry!! Here is the low down of what's gone on in the last couple months:

-moved into the new house...love it...pics soon, once I stop woosing out and hammer up some pics (don't want to put holes in the wall...lame I know)

-Dad had 50th b-day and us kids and mom surprised him with a trip to Calgary to take little people to the zoo...well received by him

-Mom and Dad had their 30th anniversary

-Jon, Jacey and I travelled to Newfoundland to visit the fam and be with his Nan while she underwent open heart surgery. She is doing awesome! Jacey travelled like a pro and totally wooed everyone in her path, what a kid!

-Went to Medicine Hat and Lethbridge to visit friends and Jacey learned to pet a puppy on her own (tears and a video ensued) =)

-I'm pregnant...just kidding

-Jacey is getting bigger and busier. Another physio session has been added monthly WAHOO and she has been approved from the government for disability funding. Bittersweet but more sweet than bitter!! She smiles all the time and is so goofy.

-Jacey said "Mama" at her physio appt the other day...she was crying cause she was hating on it but that still counts right? I wrote it in her journal anyways, so it counts now hehe

-Jon is still plugging away at work and looking into finishing his last few classes next year

-We decided to take a trip to New York next fall...started to save (with no Jacey..duh duh duh)

- Kingston turned one and had a Halloween theme party, he is too fun!

-Amelia is starting to grin and coo and grabs for things...she is such a tiny sweetheart

That is about it! Whewph! We are busy still getting settled and still enjoying Jacey. She really is such a fun addition to our lives. The bird girl keeps us on our toes daily, all the big toothy grins are so rewarding and fun. Life is good, busy but good! Some pics to keep your entertained!!

Happy 1st Bird-Day!!!

The morning after...rough night! hehe

Nooooo, I don't wanna go to bed....more CAKE!!!

Yep, It's delicious...you were right!

Digging right in

Bird-day Party for me today!!!

Sitting and waiting, waiting, waiting....

Daddy and his Bird-day girl

WHAT, I get presents at this thing....I'm there!!!

So this girl had her 1st Birthday a couple weeks ago! We affectionately called it her 1st Bird-Day...the Bird Girl had no idea but the adults thought it was funny. It was a real nice little shindig at our new house. We got posession that day and decided that with only the table and chairs we would still host her party. We ordered pizza and wings, I made a Bird Cake and we did gifts and paper everything!!! It was ALL class. I think it went well and Jacey seemed to enjoy it (although honestly how would you know??) hehe She got some great gifts from people and enjoyed noshing on her Bird Cake. All in all a success.....now to start the next year planning!

The HELLarious incident

My P.O'd kid, ripping into her bib, well at least she ain't ripping into me

Flying Baby

Just hanging around guys, how bout you?

Oh can I tell your fortune my pretty?

I am completely shocked that not only one...but TWO clips fit in my hair!

Well now that I've struck down the P52 pics and the new house news and pics...I am feeling as though there is more to be said. I am busily trying to overcome a Gisdusting cold whilst my child has taken it on as well...Jon is sure to follow soon...stay posted. Besides this yuck, I am thinking about packing...oh no I'm not doing any packing but strongly thinking about it. Also some new shots of my stinkin kid. She is almost a year old now and getting big, not huge, but big! As I sit here listening to the background sounds of a fake Golf Tournament courtesy of Jon, I am trying to recall a HELLarious incident that occured the other day to share. Beyond funny, laugh till I cried, almost pee in my pants a teeny bit funny. Here it comes: Jon and I were heading into Kingsway Garden Mall, lets call it KGM for short when we happened upon a gentleman and his little kid. Now when I say little I mean like 4 years old. The dad was leaning down telling the kid something, and this kid was absolutely unimpressed with whatever his dad was saying...when what to our wondering eyes should appear....but a split second pants pull down and a little pee. The dad seriously yanked his kids pants down, and let him pee, on the sidewalk, in clear view of all passerby's. I tried desperately to avert my eyes and Jon just grabbed me and pulled. The dad realizing that this is NOT a men's bathroom at this point tried to turn his kid into the wall (seriously? at this point, seriously) so as not to offend every single person walking back. Umm I was killing myself laughing, on the inside. Or at least on the inside until we got through the doors and then I burst out laughing! THAT JUST HAPPENED!!! On a more awesome note, we saw that same dad and kid in HMV not 10 minutes later, and the little guy was putting his mitts all over everything....awesome. Anyways wanted to share. Enjoy Jacey. I'll post a 1 year tribute to the little gaffer for her birthday!
