Skating with Zack

Zack and I go skating once or twice a week (I like free things). We are not progressing rapidly, but it doesn't really matter.

 

 

On pdday, Zack was proud to show his siblings what he can do.

He shared the orange helping thing with Kelden who still has a hard time staying up. I think he tries to go too fast.

I wonder if he is going to be better at skiing. He is all ready to go with his dad and his sister. Zack and I will keep skating for now...

..if Julia and Kelden do all right, Keld will take Zack too !

Julia Turned Eight

Julia turned eight and was baptized on her birthday. We tried to prepare her for this big event. My dad had asked her to read 2 Nephi 31 and she made a video to tell him what she had learnt about baptism. I know it's in French, but many of you will understand it.

She also prepared herself by making her baptism dress (and the after baptism dress)  with Sr Poirier.

Keld didn't want to leave the building while the baptismal font was being filled so we had her birthday party at the Church.

Once again, she was spoiled!

After the presents, we changed and took some pictures but Keld had to go because he had forgotten a few things (like a towel...I was so focused on Julia that I didn't think about his things at all...).
 

He came back on time to preside, conduct and baptize !

Julia lifted up her foot so the witnesses told Keld to do it again.

Earlier in the day, Zack and I went to the school to celebrate as well.

I hope Julia had a good day and that, with time, she will appreciate the importance of the covenants she made on this specific birthday.

Happy Birthday Kelden !

Kelden told me to wake up early to put his presents on the bench so they would be there when he woke up.

He had asked for a Star Wars cake.

He was spoiled, again.

Zack was jealous and stole his R2D2 card.

He also stole his Darth Vader top. Kelden was able to put it before bed though.

Some of the guests:

Then, today, we went to the school.

Happy Birthday Kelden !!

My birthday !

No chocolate cake this year, but raspberries !!!

There was still chocolate involved though as I got some hot chocolate and a microwavable bowl to go with it !

And here are pictures of some of the things I received (yep, only some of them, I was spoiled!) starting with a great napkin for my collection:

Thank you everyone !

On to another year full of adventures !!

Halloween: Day Of

We went to the school Halloween parade yesterday. Here's Julia's class:

Kelden's class (he had a substitute teacher, a jedi in fact!)

Elsa found Olaf (well, she found quite a lot of Olafs but this one is her favorite, it's her friend Olivia):

There was only one Anna, though (that I saw).

I didn't take pictures of everybody but here is one on Julia's old teacher and the principal.

The principal was announcing the winning pumpkins. Here is Kelden's class's pumpkin:

Julia's:

And now one of the winning ones:

After school, we went to work.

And after work, the fun:

 It was a long day !

Time for some rest now...
