Amara - Our little girl as arrived!!

 Last week Monday I had false labour and was sent home.  I was already 2 cm dilated.

 On June 24 I started to feel contractions at a little after midnight.  They came on very fast and sudden.  The contractions were a minute apart on the drive to the hospital.  We did not have time for any drugs for pain because  at 3:33am our little girl Amara was born.

 She weighed 8 lb. 6 oz. and was 22 inches long

Soccer Jamboree

The past week the boys participated in their year end Soccer Jamboree.

 Ronald McDonald did a magic show for the kids

 Maddox in a fire truck.  He loved to pretend he was driving.  

He even got to turn on the lights and use the air brakes.

Alex's Birthday party!

This past weekend we were invited to the boys friend Alex's 4th Birthday Party at Tinkertown.  Alex was in the boys class at nursery school. We had a great time even though it did rain on us.  

 The theme was "Toy Story"

Car Wash

Lately the boys have been requesting to wash other peoples vehicles.  This time it was their Oma and Opa's van.  They still need to work on their skills at getting the entire vehicle clean without streaks, but they are trying hard.  After the job is done they also request to be paid.

Nursery School Graduation!!

Yesterday was the boys last day of nursery school.  The teachers had a party for the kids and parents to celebrate with food and singing.  Each kid was then presented a diploma from their teacher.  Now its onto Kindergarten in the fall....

Soccer pictures

This year rather than buying the soccer photos (which are totally overpriced), I decided that I would just take them myself.  The boys are having a great year playing soccer.  Each of them have had a couple goals so far.  Maddox has had some difficulties because he has fallen down and jammed his wrist, and then hurt it again by falling down again.

Our Little Baby Girl

Here are some ultrasound pictures from this morning.  I have now got 100% confirmation that we are having a girl too.  She is looking good, if not a little crunched up inside.  She is about 6lb10oz. currently.

New Baby!!!

I had went to the hospital today for a fetal assessment and then found out that our friends Jarret and Cathy had their new baby girl just this morning.  So I had to go and check her out before I left.  What a little cutie.  Another week or two and she will have a new buddy.

School Picnic

Yesterday we enjoyed a beautiful evening at the boy's school picnic.  They had to play all kinds of games to get tickets.  When they got enough tickets they were able to get a bag of candy.
