Now that the weather is getting nicer, we seem to linger a little bit longer outside after school, which makes for nice unplanned play-dates with the kids' favorite friends.<br />

Will is such a boy. He loves everything super-hero, Cars, and Toy Story (especially Buzz Lightyear). He races around the house killing everyone (including himself sometimes) with his laser, flies like Buzz (or airplanes), and loves to jump on the trampoline and kick around a football. He keeps us all on our toes and has more energy and stamina than our entire family combined. </div>

The <a href="http://shontzfam.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/serfaus-austria.html">annual</a> Dad & kid ski trip.<br />
This year: Matthew was so happy to join (although he admits his favorite part about the trip was the hotel swimming pool), The "magic chef" got the kids to like gravy, and most importantly: Brooke and Andrew finally "got" skiing (chair lifts, real runs and even a few jumps). Anthony could not have been prouder! <br />

Brooke loved her Dance and Cheer club this term. Coach Mikey, put together a brilliant routine to "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and Brooke loved being a flier! I was so proud of my little cheerleader following in mom's footsteps! </div>

With Lily just 2 weeks old, Anthony had to leave us for a business trip in the states. At least he had a few extra hours to see some very patriotic sites! (The bottom right picture he messaged for the kids: President Shontz. They replied, "We'd vote for you Daddy!")</div>

Since my parents weren't able to make the trip for Lily's birth, we
decided to have Anthony bless her in our home and add them via Skype.
Grandma Marlene was visiting and it was wonderful to share the blessing
with both her and my parents (thanks to modern technology!).<br />
A few years ago, my mom found my baby blessing dress from 33 years ago, so we chose that one for Lily instead of re-using Brooke's. As I was putting it on Lily, Andrew said to me, "Mom, be careful; it may disintegrate!" <br />

With Anthony home on paternity leave, this lot enjoyed a fun day in the city: Tower of London, Tower Bridge and a quick trip back to the Museum of Natural History (because what kid can resist those dinosaur bones...again!?)<br />

Commentary, from left to right: <br />
Matthew pushing Brooke on the swing on a Saturday park trip/bike ride (always a gentleman); all my clean ducks in a row; Brooke dolled up at church (with sock curls) writing very important messages on the chalkboard; Will's Christmas cracker crown; Andrew's daily climb on the school run; the boys; Will's best mate Jake ("Yakie") coming to play; our favorite tree from the Fall season (contained every color, passed on the school run); playing at the mall; the Fall spiderwebs on Chancellor Ave; Andrew climbing again (the trees and the fences are constants but he seems to try anything these days); funny faces; "Cheeeese"; hand and face impressions (still at the mall); one of Will's constant phrases: "Missy, wanna pay?"; my Thursday Crafternoon-ing friends (love these girls!).<br />

We had a wonderful time hosting our dear American friends, but somehow neglected to take any photos of us all together. Thank you Haymore's and Schwartz's; it was a very Happy Thanksgiving!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Pumpkin and skeleton crafts, spooky photo booth, pass the parcel, pumpkin pinata, candy corn Jell-O and a Halloween dance party; it was a blast! But by far the best entertainment was Anthony in his mummy costume! Between this party, our ward trunk-or-treat, then Monday's trick-or-treating we got the most out of it possible!<br />

Will's 2nd birthday somehow came and went in a flash. We did open presents and even light a candle on some fancy cupcakes, but somehow this is the only cute picture I could find to document his day. <br />
Will seems to be happiest with his cars at the moment: "pay caars" is his daily request. He carries around Woody, Buzz and the baddie (Zurg) all day (and night) and his favorite thing to watch is Little Einsteins. He is starting to have a preference what he wears, loves to dance and is still amazing at jumping on the trampoline and kicking a soccer ball. He is such a fun kid to have around and is becoming more like everyone's buddy than our little baby boy. Happy Birthday Will-man! </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: CENTER;"></div>Shontz Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14253216839961236334noreply@blogger.com0
