Cute Lil Chefs

Chef Paige &  Chef Hallie So CUTE!!!

 Chef Paige is ready for instruction! The girls took their class very seriously and worked hard on their recipes! We cant wait to try their delicious pancakes!! Maybe they will whip some up at the cabin for us next summer!!

Chef Hallie was a little nervous about the first class...but all worries were gone when she found out pancakes were the first thing they were going to learn to make!! She LOVES pancakes! Hopefully she will learn to make her pancakes so they dont have a crust!!

Terry Fox Run (4X4)

It was time once again for the annual Terry Fox run!! I headed out to the school not knowing what the track was going to be like. The only daughter of mine I found before the race started was Paige. So Paige and I headed out with James (yes those are the runners in the background, we were bringing up the rear).

The track started out as this nice gravelly road, a little bumpy but doable. Then the track took a turn into the grass/rocks/roots. So we started 4X4ing thru the track. It was a major workout..but so fun and such a beautiful day! We have had such a beautiful indian summer this week and the leaves are stunning! It was so neat to see all the kids working so hard on the run this year. I especially loved all the signs of hope and encouragement along the way! My mind turned to Terry Fox constantly thru out the run and the courage and hope he had. I cant believe he ran a marathon a day!! I also thought of my dear friend Christy ((hugs)) the race definately had more meaning to me this year!

After the race, the classes participated in the tug-of- war. This was a cute event and the girls LOVED it and each of them won for their class! I have no pictures of the other girls..because by the time I found them...my camera was out of batteries (whoops).

James was a trooper thru the event! He loved the 4X4ing and never complained about the rough ride. He especially LOVED all the attention. He was constantly surrounded by admirers. Then we got in the car and he just tipped over from exhaustion. It was a fun event!!

Kulinary Kids

IS THIS NOT SO CUTE??

I had to buy this cute little sugar cookie because it just makes me laugh! I have to protect this little cookie...as I have 3 girls that are dying to consume it!!

There is a cute little cooking school for kids that just opened in Calgary! I have to say...I jumped for joy when I found out about it...because I have been looking for this EXACT thing!! My girls LOVE to cook and I immediately signed them all up for a class! So if you are in Calgary...take a second and check out Kulinary Kids! Im so excited about this little cooking school! My girls took their first class this week and are excited for a little Christmas course that starts in November. The school also has the cutest items in the store, including cute little sugar cookies! Can you tell how excited I am??

Calgary Science Center

The girls went to the Science Center with Uncle Brian and Auntie Christine while I was on bedrest! They raved about it! So I needed an activity for Saturday and we decided on the Science Center! We had such a fun time with the Humphreys girls! We learned a lot and had a ton of fun trying out new things. Everything is so hands on.  We saw a great film called the living sea...the screen is all around you. James was so tired by the time we got to the film, I thought for sure he would dose off...but as soon as the opening scene with fish swimming all around you began...he was mesmorized.  He loved the film.  We visited with the Cool chemistry guy who did some great experiments....but I promptly reminded the girls these experiments were not to be tried at home!  All the girls were very brave and laid on a bed of nails...very interesting indeed. The girls loved the grocery store and eatery where they spent a lot of time!  So cute!  We had a great day and would highly recommend the science center for some fun hands on learning!  We missed you Christy..hugs :)!!

1st Day of SCHOOL 2008!!

Yeah!! Finally the first day of school! The girls were so excited because they were starting at a brand new school! New for them...and the actual school was opened in February...so its brand new! They jumped out of bed...got dressed...lunches made and off we went!! Emily is starting grade 5, Steff is in Grade 3 and Paige is a cute little 1st grader!!!

I AM SO THRILLED....this is my new drive to school! Because we are on the city's west edge we get to drive this cute country road...complete with cows, horses and a pond housing ducks and geese! No traffic....woo hooo!

I love this view of the mountains every day!! The first day of school and the first snow in the mountains! It is a spectacular view...and I get to see it every day!!

AND in just 6-7 minutes...we arrive at our new school!!! I feel like Ive hit the lottery now that the girls are in this school! It is nice and close...the drive is so easy...and there are tons of fun member families in the school!! Even better...it goes thru Grade 9 (9th grade for our American friends)!! Woo Hooo! I am seriously doing the dance of joy!!!
