Off to the trailer he goes!



Yesterday Dalton was invited to Nanny's & Poppa's trailer. We were in town already and didn't have his stuff packed, so he couldn't go back with them. They were having the kids fishing derby. Dalton participated last year in it and had a great time.
Anyway, I packed up Daddy's saddle bags with clothes and pj's etc and Daddy and he went for a long bike ride. Dalton thought that was great. He really enjoyed himself. he likes to ride on the back of the bike and his tiny fanny actually fits on it!
Nanny met them at the top of the trailer park so they wouldn't have to wake everyone up. It was early when they took off. Jesse was at the trailer too which made it all the more fun for Dalton.
Unfortunately, the weather was very windy and they had to cancel the derby for the kids. No matter though, Dalton had a great time anyway!!
Thanks Nanny & Poppa!!

Grandparents head back to Winnipeg.....

Well we were all up early this morning. Granny and Poppa are heading back home to Winnipeg. I would like to say that their visit was a good one but their health wasn't. It was the best weather we have ever had when they have been here....but they both had the flu, and a cold while they were here.
in fact Granny was so sick this week that she didn't get to see a few of her friends or family. they were invited out a couple of nights but Granny was just too sick to go. She couldn't stop coughing and then up would come tons of stuff!


This is my Poppa.

The boys were up and out in the motor home playing before they left. As soon as Dalton got on the bus they followed it right up the street. Poppa hates long goodbyes. Mostly because he doesn't want everyone to see him cry Granny says.

As you can see Granny looks pretty rough. This was right before they left. They got home Friday afternoon. Granny said they stopped a little more often than normal for a couple of unscheduled naps. She has been home for almost two weeks and she still is sick!!
I miss them already!

They have arrived........

Well..... I didn't think that I would have much to post about but..... When I looked out my window Tuesday morning I saw a motor home coming towards my house. It looked like my Grandparents but I thought "no way it couldn't be". It is getting too late in the month for them. ( Granny can't stand the heat not humidity Ontario has) they usually come around Easter...but apparently not this year!
Well it was them! Dalton looked out the front door and said "What the ?", up until two years ago when we went to Winnipeg to visit them, he thought that my Grandparents lived in the motor home. He was small and couldn't comprehend it was just for travel...

)

So anyway, I was quickly on the phone and took some time off work. Not all the time, just some time. They usually go and visit their other friends and family when I'm working. They have lots.

Granny has never seen the baby before so she was excited to meet him. She saw me pregnant with him at 9 months but that was it! Pictures of course and here but that is it. She said he was beautiful and looks a lot like me. I dunno I think he looks more like my brother and nephew.

This is my Granny. She is 80. Looking good eh? She is going to kill me if she sees the picture I posted. This was this morning when I first got her up. My Granny is so funny.... brace yourselves cause your going to laugh!

On Tuesday she asked if we could go to Walmart. Me not want to go shopping I thought HA! So innocently I said "sure". So we get to Walmart and I ask what she needs and she says underwear. She doesn't get much of a chance to shop so she figured she hadn't gotten any in so long soo..... I said what kind do you like and sh said I don't know. So I said well what are you wearing now and she said.... brace yourself... your Poppa's! I laughed until I thought I would pee my pants.

Well we got her 10 new pairs of underwear, 2 new bras, 3 new shirts and a new coat by the time we were done. So she is good to go and Poppa is getting his underwear back! The next morning I asked her how they fit and her reply was... Quite good I forgot how nice woman's underwear fit! "Only my Granny!"

Anyway, I thought I would post a picture of the flowers I got for her. Early Mother's day. They were so beautiful. They only cost $6.00.

So over the next few weeks I will be busy but I will be sure to make time to post a bit or two. So keep tuned in you never know what is going to happen next around here!

Easter.....

Well here is Easter egg search at the Bunnett's house. We video taped the event at home this morning and so I don't have any pictures. Daddy was taping and I was helping Tyson search before Dalton found them all. They were in piles of two but with them it really didn't matter once Tyson saw them he thought you were to eat them as you went!
So like I said we went to Mom & Dad's for Easter dinner. We had too much as always and we were all stuffed again... as always. My Mom is a good cook! The kids got spoiled. Dalton got a new coat and a small monster truck that he collects, from Nan & Poppa. Tyson got a new wet suit for the pool. Perfect fit Nan! He will enjoy the pool more this year than last year...if that is possible. And tons of eggs and chocolate!
Uncle Ed & Auntie Tracey spoiled them. Tyson got a really cool pair of pajama's and a neat set of alltrain mega blocks trucks, and a small bunny. Dalton got three movies ( monster trucks & Happy feet), and a ninja turtles toy, and a small bunny. I have to wonder was it Christmas or Easter?



Tyson playing with the baskets waiting for the other kids to get prepared to help search!

This is always the most painful picture of the day! Trying to get all four kids to sit together and smile for longer than one second. Getting them all to even sit together is the first challenge!

THE HUNT IS ON!!



Jesse and Dalton trying to find all the eggs before Nanny and Tyson come along. Funny part was they still beat them because Jess and Dalton ran past most of the piles!!


Supper time! Bring on the viddles people! I am on a sugar rush and need real food!!! AUGGGGG!!!
Hope everyone had a happy Easter!

Out to Montana's

Well we went to church this morning and Mom and I had already talked about taking the boys to Montana's so that Dalton could use another free meal ticket for reading. So after church ( that got out really early because pastor Mark was sick) we headed to Montana's and Nanny headed home to get Poppa. We had tons of fun! Poppa and Tyson were playing a game of I drop it you pick it up...

Dalton and Nanny played a game or 20 of tick tack toe on the table. I think that Nanny was winning! Although Dalton I don't think would admit it!

Dalton had chicken fingers this time, Nan had a really nice salad. Poppa tried the Shepherd's pie and I played it safe and had a clubhouse. Everything was really good.

We had a great time together and then we headed home to put Tyson to bed for a nap! Keep the reading up Dalton!

In Addition.........

Funny thing happened when we went to get Dalton on Friday... He started yelling at me as soon as I got out of the van. He said..." Mom Nanny tried to ride my bike and fell right off in the flowerbed!" He was laughing and thought that was hilarious. So did my Dad. Dalton was enjoying riding his bike around the paved driveways at Mom's & Cecil's ( her neighbour).
So we visited for a few minutes while the baby slept in the van. Darin was outside watching Dalton ride his bike but it got a little chilly for him so he went back inside.
Dad and Dalton had a busy morning though. Mom has therapy on Fridays so they all went to MacDonald's for breakfast and then Dad and Dalton got a few chores to do at the plaza. Pick up a few groceries etc. Then Nan came and met them again and they did a little more running around before we came to get him. He had a great time and can't wait until holidays in the summer when he gets to go to the trailer too!

Heading out to the Grandparents house......

So Wednesday was nothing to special we went to Kingston for a quick drive before I headed into work at 3pm. The boys were home with Daddy still so all is good yet. Dalton was excited because Darin bought a remote controlled helicopter. They both have wanted one for quite a while but Darin has done a lot of work in the garage and saved it up. Good thing too. He flew it 20 seconds and crashed it, and now they are waiting for new parts. Darin didn't think that it would be that hard to fly. He was surprised!

Thursday we again didn't do much but, Scott came out to see us. See how things are going. Darin got out the bike Dalton got for Easter last year it was such a nice day and guess what! He has grown about 3 inches because he can ride it with no problems this year. I was upset because his Dad let him take it for a spin with no helmet. No biggie but when you work where I work you don't risk head injuries! It's an American chopper bike and he loves it!

I had to work evenings again and Dalton was going to Nan's so he was getting excited! Poppa & Nan are taking him to Montana's for one of his free meals. Mom said he was quite the character and when they waited almost 40 mins and they called them he said "finally". Mom laughed. He had a great time and they spoiled him because they ended up taking him to Dairy queen too! He was so happy!

He got to ride his bike at Nan's because Scott ended up taking him in and took his bike too! And Mommy packed his helmet!
Friday was an even busier day for Dalton and he got a good laugh and to spend some time with Poppa. For now though it's late and I'm heading to bed....
