The Big Soccer Party!

Saturday was Logan's big 7th Birthday party!
We headed out to 8 Rinks in Burnaby to celebrate on the indoor soccer field!
What a blast he had! Him and 18 of his friends all playing soccer!!


Sadly a lot of the pictures of them playing turned out fuzzy, so here are some of the big celebration afterwards!!!

Kleenex anyone?

Upon arrival to Makenna's room to check her before I turn in for the night see her sound asleep, so peaceful.....I wonder... what is that white stuff above her head?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh




Her poor animals were cold I suppose. Under each pile is a different lucky stuffy!!

Anyone want a kleenex?

He FINALLY did it!!





My Logey Bear is riding a 2 wheeler!!!
We live on a very busy street, so Logan never really showed any interest in riding a bike right up until he was 4.
Sunday I decided enough was enough, I was taking the training wheels off, and he was not allowed to ride his new scooter until he could ride his bike!(Mean I know)
We took him to a soft playing field close to our house. Stuck him on the bike, held the back and gave a push. And that was it. He was gone, stopping, starting turning and ... laughing!!!

We are SO proud of you Logan!! Way to go!!!

A great weekend.







We had a wonderful weekend!
Saturday we took the kids downtown to Science World! They had a blast! There is so much to do there!
Saturday night my friend Catrina and I headed out on the town... well to the Casino anyways!
We had a few drinks played some slots! It was great to get out on my own! Its been awhile!!

Sunday we spent most of the say outside!! Finally a day with out rain! How lovely!!

Its good to be back.....


I made it back!!

Its the start of 2008, where has the time gone?
The tail end of 2007 seemed to sail by.

Things here at the Gilbert household are wonderful. We have settled in to our new routine being parents and business owners. Noel's weird shifts have become almost normal. We look forward to him being home in the day and that will be even better in the summertime when Logan is out of school!
Logan is doing wonderfully in grade 1. I had some concerns as he was put in to a split class, but he thrives with the older children, always has actually. Perhaps from being around so many adults!!
In 2 short weeks he will be 7. He has 2 loose teeth and has said his first swear word. Where has my baby gone? Shall I even mention that he is already talking about girls and has found the one he swears he will marry? What happened to wanting to marry me?????

Makenna is loving her preschool. Her teachers say she is SO loving! And hangs with all the different little groups, a real social butterfly. She is trying out her attitude in lots of ways lately, I know teenage years with her may be HORRID. But she is such a sweet little thing, always so loving and concerned for others. Soon she will be 4, and that is sad. My babies are growing.

Is 2008 the year for another? One of my closest friends is pregnant with her 4th, she makes me want a 3rd. It is something we toy with every day. Time will tell I suppose!

I hope to update this at least once a week with the events of our days! And of course lots of pictures (once I figure out how to get them off my new camera!!!)

Have a wonderful weekend!
