Before I get to all of that I wanted to post a picture of my latest cake. As many of you know I love to bake and decorate cakes for my family and friends. My girlfriend turned 35 and asked me to make her a spring themed cake and this is what I came up with.
Mother's Day
The kids have been so excited for Mother's day for the entire month of April so when it finally arrived they were stoked. Dillon's school put on a Mother's Day Tea where all the mom's were treated like queens for a day. It was a very special day in my life. Dillon painted a flower pot and planted the most beautiful flower and gave it to me at the party. He was so proud of his creation and in all honesty, so was I!
Soccer
Soccer started a little late this year as we were waiting for all the snow to melt but now that it has started we live and breathe soccer. We have games every Tuesday, Wednedsay and Thursday night.
Both Leah and Dillon have become quite the soccer players. Leah has really impressed us with her speed and agility and Dillon is such a go getter. We just love watching them play their games!
Family Visit
Last weekend we had the priviledge to travel down to Lethbridge to visit with Karri and Dave and family and see Nana and Papa. We had an incredible time! There is nothing like spending time with family! We got to watch the kids participate in races and play in games. The cousins have inspired our kids so much that they, too, now want to run a race of their own. So, when we returned to Edmonton I found a kids race and signed them up. They will be running a 1K in August all because of the examples of their cousins.
We were also able to be there when Parker played piano in church and see Matt be ordained a Teacher. What a fantasic weekend filled with fun, and great company! Thanks for everything, we look forward to the next time we are together!
Isn't being a parent great?! Kids are fun and those two are so entertaining! Love the blog. Nice job on the spring cake!

ReplyDeleteHey Kim,
ReplyDeleteGood for you getting the kids in a race. They will not only love it but they will do so WELL!! It was fun to be together. I really loved our family bike ride.
Your cake is beautiful ....your friend is going to love it. It's hard to believe that we are home already. How quickly things change. I do hate to leave the beautiful west in the Spring/Summer. It was especially lovely in Waterton this time.
