Happy 7th Birthday Q-Man!

Yesterday was the last of the little Lobbsters birthday's for birthdaypalooza. We still have his party next week so planning is still in motion.

Quinten,

You are becoming quite the little big boy. Everyone always comments about how tiny you are. I love your pint sizeness. (I know not a real word) As you are getting older I'm starting to realize how similar you and are. You are a great kid full of spunk and love. You are becoming quite the ladies man. I bet it's those dimples. One flash of those babies and the ladies just melt. I love your passion for hockey and learning, and the love of being outdoors.

I'm looking forward to seeing what this next year brings. I'm sure you will keep me on my toes. And that we'll be able to keep the Tronsgard rage in check :)

I love you so much Q myster C!

Love Mommy
XOXO

Happy 5th Birthday Buddy!

Buddy or as he was born Spencer, had a great day today and yesterday. In fact when my parents left after celebrating tonight he cried because he didn't want his birthday to end. Buddy you are an amazing little boy. So caring, easy going, athletic, smart, handsome (you sure look like your daddy), curious, loving, a snuggle bug and I could go on forever. We really do have great kids.

I'm glad you had a great day buddy. We love you so much.

And thank you to everyone who wished our baby happy birthday. He sure felt special today.

Happy 9th Birthday Taylor!

I find myself in awe that 9 years have gone by already.

Dear Taylor,

Wow 9 years old! Boy have the years gone by fast. I try to cherish every moment of your life. Before you know it you'll be off to University, then having your own family. But I'm not going to think about that yet. To me you are still the big preemie and will always be one of my babies. You are a mature, sweet, compassionate, athletic, smart, beautiful, helpful (and the list could go on) daughter.

I can't wait to see how you continue to grow up over the next year.

I love you so much sweetie!

Love,
          Mommy   XOXOXOXO

On a side note Taylor has never liked going to school but this year she is actually excited to go and is even super helpful getting Spence into school when he is upset.

Back to school can not come soon enough

Since we've been back from Penticton, which has only been 2 weeks, the kids have been at each other and have been causing messes. For some reason I am not handling it that well like I normally do. Maybe it's the fact that we've been around each other non stop since school got out or maybe it's the fact that they need to get back to a routine. Not sure but as of today I've kind of reached my max. I've never said it before but I'm kind of looking forward to work tomorrow to get away from the madness. For the last hour all it's been is this high pitch yelling at each other. So the older 2 are in bed already hopefully falling asleep soon. I think we all need a good nights sleep. The back to school bedtime regime is starting up tonight. No more crazy late nights. So now I'm going to relax, hopefully.

I do come on here

I know in previous posts I said I was going to be a better blogger. I have slacked a bit but I don come on here to look at other blogs and see what the goings on are. And part of me hasn't blogged because do I have anything to say that is blog worthy or interesting. Have come to realize that having some family not living close by I should be blogging so they can keep in touch with what is going on. So I m really going to try and make a valiant effort to keep things up to date.

Hello?

I don't know if anybody checks my blog for updates anymore but if you do I'm sorry I've been absent.
I'm really hoping to pick up the posting pace.
Lots has been going on here at the Lobbster shack. Quinten ran his first 5k race, Taylor had her first competition, Spencer released his drum video on You Tube, Do you have five dollars?, Taylor ran her first 10k and I was very proud to run it with her.

This weekend is a big race weekend for a lot of people in our lives.
Good luck to my kidlets, Dad, Jordan, Kristen, Heather, Roxanne, Irina, Dwayne, Leigh. And anybody else I might have missed. I would also like to say good luck to Chris, as he will have to help the kids by himself at the triathlon till I get there. This will be a first tri for Spence, which he is very excited about.

Other than that life is trucking along.

Let's hope I can update a little sooner. Maybe even tomorrow. And maybe I'll post some pictures too.

Panorama Bound

About a month ago Chris said he had a surprise for me that would be coming in March. He said it's a Valentine's/thank you/pre surgery present. It's been killing me to know what the surprise is. He booked us a weekend away in Panorama to go skiing. He planned the childcare, he was even going to pack my suitcase and not tell me till I got back from dropping Taylor off at gym, but that plan went by the way side when he got called into work for today. So he told me at about 12:30 last night. Needless to say I had a hard time sleeping. It's like that Disney commercial when the kids says he's too excited to sleep.

As much as I wanted to know before hand, I'm glad he surprised me. We don't have the opportunity to get away just the 2 of us so this is a very well deserved treat.

Thanks Sweets! I Love You so much!

Back, hopefully in full force

I know I've been MIA. I started a new job in January that had 2 months of full time training, including test taking and all that jazz that comes with learning. I will now be casual picking up around 2-3 shifts a week maybe sometimes more. And on the bright side I can pick up those shifts when Chris is off so no more looking for childcare. Which has been all over the map. But I am very thankful for everyone who has helped us out in that regard. I wouldn't have been able to take the position if it wasn't for you all. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I hope to get better with posting again. Not sure I'll always have something exciting to say but I'll be around.

I'll leave you with this joke that Spencer made up and told to me my.
Knock, Knock!
Who's there?
Fox!
Fox who?
Fox you!

We were all in stitches and he thought he had made up a very funny joke. So innocent.
