Jer bears first shopping trip....this was actually taken on Sat...but hey....

Eventful Saturday...


Saturday was a pretty eventful day for us, and especially for Jeremy who had all kinds of firsts...
Kendal had to work in the morning, so we all got up at 7am. Brandy and Kendal went to his job and worked, and I had promised Bree a shopping trip, and so her, Jer and I also all piled into the car. I haven't had any time to spend individually with any of my kids in ages, and so I was really looking foreward to it.
First off, Bree and I met up with my friend Brenda, and went to a "twins" sale at one of the churches in the Cathedral district... It was my second time there, and I have bought stuff both times.
This time I got a baby einstein excersaucer for $55.00. It was in very good condition, and I was really excited about it, because I had wanted one before, but they were $150.00 and I am cheap and wasn't about to pay that...
My daughter found some really cute little suits, and made me buy those too, although I have absolutly no idea where the boy is EVER going to wear them.....LOL!
When we were done there, Bree and I went out for lunch to Smitty's at the Southland mall.


When we were done, the GREAT shop began....

Have you ever shopped with a 14 year old girl?
It is VERY time consuming to say the least....
She isn't even as bad as most either....The biggest problem we were having is that they don't make clothes for real people. Bree is NOT a big girl...she is size 11, but do you think that we could find teen girl jeans any bigger then a 5? Anyways, we did eventually, but not without a lot of frusteration on Bree's part....We got to the mall at about 10 am, and by the time we left...it was 3pm.....

We did eventually find all we needed, and went to pick up Kendal and Brandy at work....

Bree decided that she needed to get a few more shirts though, and I was shopped out, so Kendal and I dropped off the girls at the mall downtown, and headed down to Wascana to enjoy the weather...(It was 18 above....)

The walk was only supposed to take about an hour, but in the middle Jeremy decided to be hungry, so I had to find a quiet place to nurse him where we would get the least interupption. We also kept bumping into people we know...
It was really nice though...Didn't even need to wear a coat.
I am really out of shape. I couldn't excercise or go for walks while I was pregnant, and I haven't been able to since I had Jer because I have had two babies living with me....so I suffered a bit.....
I am really going to have to work at the weight loss thing.

After the park, we went and picked up the girls, and went out for a coffee
at one of the local coffee shops...We had a lot of fun as the girls were in a really goofy mood. I had a mocha, Kendal had a Jones soda, I think Bree had a hot choclate, but the really funny one was Brandy...she had an expresso (double shot)....and she had never had one before...She said that she liked it, but her face when she first tasted it was priceless...Plus she wanted whipped cream..and there wasn't any...I knew what her reaction was going to be, so I snapped a picture....
It was a really good day...and after months...and I do mean months...of not being able to do anything fun with our kids...I am glad that we had the chance!

Middle Child Syndrome

Poor Taco Bell is having some real jealousy issues these days. Ever since the babies came to live with us, he went from being the baby of the family and the one who got all of our attention to being just a dog. He has been sucking up every scrap of attention anyone will give him. I took this picture yesterday when I sat on the couch and he came and buried his face in my armpit. That's desperation!

Unique Flowers

Apparently Kendal felt sorry for me for being so stressed out lately......LOL!....

Rough Night...

Well Talon didn't come home till Wed this week...I had the flue...I really had the flue. All I did was sleep on Tuesday....and Monday for that matter. Talon did come home on Wed. with --guess what? The flue.....and he screamed ALL NIGHT long. He slept till about 12.45 am, and then spent the rest of the night screaming....fun. I didn't yet know what was wrong and so I didn't know how to make him happy....Little monkey finally went to sleep at 8am...and slept off and on till 11 when I took the boys to the health unit to see if they still wanted to do Talon's shots...which they didn't....he had a mild fever. Instead the boys did get weighed though...Talon is 18 lbs, 10 oz and Jeremy is 10 lbs 5 oz...so both boys are doing well...

By this afternoon...I figured out that Talon had the same flue as I had, and so i started giving him tylenol every four hours and the result is that he is feeling much better...

Yet some more pictures.....

Our Last Year in William's Lake!

Talon will be going home....

Well...It is official....as of April 1 Talon Balon will be going home to live with his mommy....Krystal has finally got an apartment, and has almost got everything else that she needs for her house....We are going to miss seeing Talon every day. He has stayed with us for 4 months and we really love him. We will still get to see him Sunday for church though, and some other times when we want to take him places. however, on the other hand, I am looking foreward to just being a mommy to Jeremy for a couple of months...probably Sept..at least. and just a grandma to Talon and also getting my house cleaned...Trust me....it needs it. I have found being caregiver to two newborns more challenging then I was up to.....and the lack of sleep thing has really been getting to me. I hope that the adjustment isn't too difficult for him, but we have been working up to it this month, with my MIL taking him for Fridays and Sat. and Krystal taking him Monday and Tuesdays...It will be an adjustment for everyone I think....

More Mercy Pictures....

Mercy talks to Jeremy....

Visiting Mercy Buckets....

Brenda was given this outfit for Mercy from a friend. It is directly from Africa,
and very cute! It's hard to believe that Mercy is two now.....she is actually one of the reasons we decided to have Jeremy.....she is so freakin cute

She has started to talk now.....every time she comes over she says bye-bye....I am starting to get a complex! and the last time I gave her a kiss she said yay! I love this age......These pictures I am going to put up are for her benefit...she loves to look at pictures of herself on the internet...

After watching Superman Returns...

Meet Janae Lily Israelson.....

We received a text message at 6 this morning letting us know that Tam had her baby....and she was 7lbs, 14 ozs...just the right size....
Kendal and I went and saw her this afternoon after the conference we were at...Is she ever a sweetheart...She was sleeping when we saw her...at least for most of it...but I should be used to that by now.....
So the Israelson clan now has 2 boys and 2 girls....Pretty cool if you ask me.
Tam is doing pretty good, but tired...(no kidding....) her labor was pretty long...

Congrats guys!

New Baby!

Congrats to Paul and Tam, who finally delivered a healthy baby girl at 4 am this morning...(we got a text message at 6am...so I think Paul was pretty excited....LOL!) Her name is Janae.Lily (Sorry-not yet sure of the spelling) and she is 7 lbs....not sure of the ounces....(sorry-it was 6am....) I can't wait to see her.....

Jeremy says Happy St. Patty's Day!

This is what mood Talon is in this morning....

Nothing more said......

He had a pretty rough night last night...I got up with him two times, and Kendal got up with him several times too....(and then I was up with Jeremy a couple of times...so you can guess how tired we are today....)

Day after the Big Storm....
