Biker Chicks

 

What is a girl to do when she gets a new set of wheels....try them out!!  We actually picked up this bike second hand for Stella but Amelia finds that it fits her rather well and when she gets Stella to push, she gets a pretty sweet ride.  Don't worry they both actually own helmets just hadn't put them on yet :P

Busy Days of Summer

Farm Visits, Cousin Playdates and hanging at HOME together...

I love recording the events and things that shape our lives on this little blog but sometimes time gets going too quickly and special things I want to record seem long past.  So I have to do a summary of some really fun things that have happened lately;

Auntie Linda's Farm

 

 

 
 
 

 



(isn't she supermom???)

 

Adorable baby animals and horseback riding, how could the visit get any better?!  We had a blast.  There is something so darling about seeing little brand new baby critters.  The chicks were less then a week old and the baby goats (kids) were two days old!!!!!! More chicks were hatching so Auntie Linda held the egg up to our ears and we were able to hear the little chick inside pecking away and peeping.....be still my heart.  It ALMOST makes me want to live in the country....ALMOST!!  I am content with visiting.

 

Cousin Playdate

 

This post is picture crazy but we've been busy.  We just love playing with our second cousins Cami and Hyrum, they are the same ages as our women and they are a blast.  Auntie Alyson has a sweet neighbor who always shares his play equipment so on this sunny day we totally took advantage and had some fun.

Hanging at Home

 

Our sweet girlies are goof balls and have such fun together.  Stella hit her head and immediately Amelia ran to get a Band-Aid, even though there wasn't any blood.  Always looking out for the little sister. What a joy, what a joy!!!!

Yeah to the busy days of summer....let the good times roll.

Swimming Lessons for the Second Born

(Please excuse me in this picture below and focus on the adorable blue eyed beauty beside)

 

 

My 'babycakes' and I just finished another round of swimming lessons - YEHAW!!!!!  I love having dates with her, just the two of us... don't so much love swimming itself.  BUT I do it because it is a good thing to do, right?!  This is the first time her and I have done the everyday for two weeks cycle and I think it actually helped her get comfortable and stay comfortable more quickly.  I did have to psych myself up to go swimming each day - not joking.  We had male teachers and whenever they spoke to her she would just give them the stone cold Polischuk stare, awesome.  It was fun to see her actually smile by the end of the two weeks, loosening her death grip on me.  We would talk about our swimming date and Amelia would be pumped to get to be with her babysitters (the Livingstone girls) all by her self.  The best part of the whole swimming thing was driving home the last day of class, just Stella and I.  She said in her soft little voice, "mom did you have fun on our swimming date?".  Oh this little chick, love her so much.

Street Performers Festival

Fun, fun in the sun!!!!

We have had Auntie Jenn visiting the last few days and the Bird Girls will be gone for two weeks so we capitalized on some family time and went to check out the street performers festival.   It is always an adventure to gather all needed supplies, snacks and get out the door but it was worth it!  We took the LRT to Churchill Square and picked out a food truck to get some lunch, then we hit up the kids area first...charming and such fun.  The area had numerous little tents with activities or books inside and tables with sand or blocks, our ladies loved it.

 



 

 

We did manage to actually catch a few performances, our favourite was probably the storyteller from the kids corner.  We also caught the end of a dance party which was pretty cool.

Fun day with family!!!

Doing Hair

 

It isn't anything crazy cool but I snapped these shots the other day to record for my ladies what a pleasure it is for me to do their hair.  I have always enjoyed it.  Ever since my Brownie leader, Margo Moffat taught us to braid I've been hooked.  First it was 'Total Hair Barbie', then my little sisters, for a few years the little girls I babysat and now my own girls must sit through my creations.  It is fun for me and I love thinking about what style will look cute with their outfit for the day....silly but I enjoy it!!  As mothers we have many tasks we do daily; dishes, laundry, meals... repeating, repeating, repeating...but I LOVE the daily hairstyling I get to do!!!! They are little darlings for sitting still for me, snacks, shows and books do help though ;P

Smokin HOT!!!!!

 

Stella's face says a lot, it was super hot today!!!  Like our house was 29 c INSIDE by lunch, just seriously smoking hot.  We decided to hit up the spray park and a little Polischuk miracle occurred....Amelia actually went in the water!  She was encouraged by her heroes the Livingstone girls (she idolizes them) and even went in enough to get her hat wet - YAHOO!  Little sister, Stella on the other hand wanted to do things with "her mom" so didn't stray far and when we walked over hand-in-hand I ended up getting wetter then her.  As I type this it is still smoking hot in our house. In our old house we had a/c for 7 years and we move, no a/c and have the hottest day in Alberta history, boo on us!  I think we will head over and hit up Auntie Alyson's swimming pool tomorrow.

Canada Day Celebrations

Celebrate Good Times....Come ON!!!!!

Celebration!

 

We were privileged to participate in the Canada Parade and enter a float on behalf of our church's Primary children ages 3-11.  It was sooooooo fun and worth the effort!!!! I will let the pictures speak, showing what a blast we had.  Nanny joined Jacey, Amelia and I on the float, while Mr. P hung out with Stella and my Grandparents.   Awesome that they were able to come and watch.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh Canada!
