All About Madison

Madison has been bringing home school things for the past few weeks as her last day is Monday, June 30th and they don't want to flood the backpack on the last day!

I thought this was a cute write up she did, and thought a few of you would find it especially entertaining.

I am 8 years old. I was born in Regina. Most people in my hole family lives in Regina. Here are some people who live in Regina whos in my family. My Grandma, Grandpa, two anties, Jen, Lura. Six cosens, Haylee, Tristen, Alssa, Brooke and I forget the other two names because I don't visit them that much. (Not sure who Brooke is but I assume the other 3 cousins she means are Carter, Sydney and Tayler.) I have another Gradnpa and Granny they live outside of Saskatoon and they have 3 dogs 5 horses used to have about 12 chikens but the dogs killed the chikens and my Grandpa bot me and my sister a pony we like to ride our pony and dthe other horses too. 4 people in my house lives with me. Annika, Mom, Dad, Kelsie and me of corse. Oh and my Antie Jen is a hair dresser. I love how she does it!

So - Jennifer, she likes your hair dressing skills and Mom you get zero credit for the pony, sorry!

Madison's Recital

Madison's dance recital was on Thursday, she did very well and really enjoyed herself. She is in Primary Ballet this year. Right now she's unsure of what she'll be doing next year. If she continues in dance it will be Grade 2 Ballet and Hip Hop 2. She also wants to do gymnastics again and swimming and well, you can't do it all.

Below is a video of her recital.

Just a few random pictures from the Teddy Bear Picnic and Annika's soccer game last week.

The Countdown ...

Today was my last day at work - the countdown is truly on!

I've been at work for 5 1/2 years and have made some fabulous friends over that time, I was a little (really little LOL) sad to leave but I know I'll be able to keep in touch.

I was showered with gifts today and taken out to a fantastic lunch, I didn't expect any of it and was truly surprised. Thank you everyone :) Now to enjoy the summer with Madison and Annika and get ready for Kelsie's arrival!!

We had Annika's 5th Birthday Party last weekend. She had a lot of friends over and she was so thrilled to have her daycare buddies come to her house. I think all of the girls had a great time.

Now we're planning Madison's 8th Birthday Party - I can't believe my baby is turning 8! She's having a sleepover and some how a "sleepover with a few close friends" has turned in to 10 eight year olds sleeping in my basement. Allan is sure this is when I will go into labour. God I hope not LOL!

Annika's dance recital was on Thursday evening. It was her second recital and she did great. No nerves at all, she already is talking about next year! Madison's recital is this upcoming Wednesday.
