Packages, Teaparts, play tents and bike rides!..

Well last week I didn't get to the computer much to write what we had done, but we were busy.. so thats a GOOD THING!

Its hard to think how much time we left, and how much we have to squeeze into those last few days and hours.
I received my first official letter from Spiritwood & Surrounding areas in the mail - it was VERY real, but exciting.. lots of literature about the humble town and all the little activities that come with residing there!

so we are continuing to make lots of play dates and soak up as much time with friends as we can..

With having my brother home we got to spend some quality time with my neice, The girls couldn't get enough of her.. Isabel on the other hand (Very much like her daddy-o) was a bit over whelmed at Reese and Norah's eager personailtys to hug and kiss her.....everytime they saw her! but they got to know each other well. Sadly, my brother is actually moving home.. and not only is he moving home, he is moving home excatly ONE WEEK after we move away.. oh brother!

My beautiful Neice..4 months younger then Norah

Norah and one of her many faces

Isabel likes her distance from other children.. hehe

We did get to make some awesome memories last Friday with them. My mom and dad, 2 out of 4 of my brothers, my brothers wife and daughter Naomi&Isabel, my girls and myself all packed up early friday morning and headed into the local Aquatic Center for some fun in the pool! Reese braved taking her lifejacket off in the kiddie pool, slapped on her goggles and swam UNDER WATER! I couldn't believe how much she was below water level then above! she is such a fish!
It didn't take Norah anytime to warm up to the fact that she would slip and fall and plunge under water as well.. by the end she was laughing so hard and did not want to get out! There were to many pictures to share so I made a short video slide show to make you all feel as if you were apart of our swimming extravaganza - please don't judge my shooty attempt at making a fast video!

we have since then, begun a new week and are almost through it! Reese has had more playdates filled with beautiful days, tea parties and bike rides! Here's a few picture from yesterdays goregous day and play date with little miss Naomi Fowler :)

Naomi and Reese ubber excited about going out to play with the JEEP

 Naomi attempted to take the Jeep for a spin, but didn't quite understand that hitting the petal with her foot would make it go as I heard screamed across the parking lot "HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP!!!!" Reese gave Naomi a crash course on how to drive it, and soon Naomi was cruising around like an ol' pro!

Lets not forget about little Miss N. enjoying the sun

She MUCH rather push the car the actually get in it.

Sweet Sweet Friends

 What better way to end our lunch time with a tea party, with magical tea of course! Reese and Naomi had all their furry little friends lined up for their special tea party! oh what fun it is to be 3!

How adorable are they!

It has been a whirlwind of the last 2 weeks.. with many more changes! We have learned that Justin starts working by the end of May, and our house hunt has begun officially ..we have set the date for our 'send off' party which is sad to think about, but also so exciting to think of all the new adventures we get to get into!

so today... today is a windy, rainy day, with spots of hail and yes.. dare I say it -SNOW so I have decided to blog, and cozy up with my girls watching movies, eating cereal and lazing around.
Yesterday we booked our tickets to fly out to see Daddy - What an awesome feeling that was! so the countdown is officially on. - 21 more days and our life will start to piece back together again..

21 more days for this Chapter to end, and a new one to begin! SO EXCITED!

much love to you all xoxoxo
