North Glen Awards

 
 
Porter and Autumn did awesome at the quarterly awards assembly. I have to add that Porter received almost every award possible, including the peer nominated "Grrr award" to the student who represents the school's values. (Pre-K doesn't really have that many awards to give, by the way, so no offence to Autumn, who was thrilled with her perfect attendance award!) We love the kids school, and they are both doing so well, and really liking it, so that is the best part!

Marik's First Steps

Happy Halloween!

 

 

 

 

It was a pretty fun Halloween...thrown together as usual. On the 30th, the kids had a school party, so we dressed up for that, and Marik destroyed his dollar store devil costume, so on the big day he got to be whatever fit him...Buzz Lightyear, to the rescue! The parades and parties at the school were pretty fun, and the kids got way too much candy! (I will help out with that problem, no worries!

 

Somehow this picture of Marik was missed. Too bad his hat isn't on...you get the idea. He had a great time! The best was the confused look he had on his face a lot of the day, and all the dancing he did at the school Halloween party!

Autumn Turns Five

Autumn chose Chuck E. Cheese for her fun activity on her birthday! I let her take one friend, since she doesn't get a party this year, and she asked if Isabelle could come. Man, what a blast that Chuck E. Cheese...for the kids at least!

Back to School!

Autumn just began Pre-K, and Porter is in grade one. They are both really enjoying school, their friends, and their teachers! I am going to be involved quite a bit at the school this year. I was voted in as PTA Treasurer last night, and I will be volunteering on Monday mornings. I love our little school, so it will be fun! A side note about school...it sure is different walking home from the bus with Autumn as opposed to Porter. I get a whole lot of information about the day...plus a little that didn't really take place. :)

Marik Turns One!

Please, sir, could I have some more? (Imagine British accent here...) Marik loves food, so just having a meal and some cake was good enough for him on his birthday! He loved it! We just celebrated with our family. The favorite way, for me at least. I still don't really enjoy large birthday parties, just like when I was a bratty little kid. My poor mom and dad....I sure loved their tradition of only having a party on the even number birthdays, so I have adopted that tradition, partly for my sanity! It is a good year around here...All odd birthdays this year!

Summer '07

Just a few Cahoon pics. We always have a great time in Alberta...what great relatives we have!

Edwards girls....aren't they cute?! We have some pictures with all of the Edwards cousins, but they are on David's computer, so I will post them as soon as I get a chance. We loved spending time with our Edwards cousins. We are so lucky to have such a great family with so many fun people to hang out with!

10 Year Reunion

So...the much anticipated 10-year reunion has come and gone. It went really well, and it was so great to see everyone that I went to high school with. Plus, many that I was with starting in Kindergarten. We did do some group shots, but, unfortunately we waited until the end when some people had left, and others were in...lets just say they weren't in the best condition! I love Three Hills, and I was so lucky to grow up with such great people!

Buddies?

I think Marik just might be getting use to all the "attention" he gets from Autumn. This morning he even let her do the thing where she holds him on her lap and shakes him around. He looks almost bigger than her, so I am sure once he starts walking, he will be able to hold his own. For now, he just pushes her face away a lot!

Thanks for taking us, Kathy!

We went to six flags with our friends Kathy and Thomas Joyner. It was so much fun! It is so great in the heat to go from the water park right to the rides. I was suprised how much more brave Autumn and Porter were on the rides compared to usual. Marik would have loved to splash in the water all day!

Well..the kids faces were cut off, but I wanted to post these pictures anyway! My good friend Whitni, and her husband Brent, and son Asher came to visit, and she took some great pictures of us. I thought I had posted some already...good memory!

A Family picture from the many that Whitni took.

Grandma Cahoon Comes to Visit!

We stayed at a fun hotel in Lancaster with grandma, and Marik was able to go swimming for the first time. He loved it! Porter and Autumn had a great time as well...it has been a while!
