Talon and Jeremy's Big weekend Cont.....



Scott's first meeting with Jeremy!


So Friday, Kendal was supposed to get off work...but as usual...we got a call...someone called in sick, and he had to go in. Family plans down the toilet again...
However, at least it was only for about 3 hours, and afterwards Kendal and I went to Roca Jack's for a coffee....that was nice....
Later on after we had dropped the kids off at youth, we all met to go to the Passion play at the Regina Apastolic Church. You can check it out at the below link....

We have seen it before..many many times actually..the pastor who is in charge, used to be the pastor at the Kamloops Full Gospel church. His name is Rick Parkins....He has been here for a few years now, and so they have started to do it here. It was very well done, although they didn't have all the special affects that they had in Kamloops yet...It was coolthough, because we did know some people acting in the play. Dan Ritz did a great job of being a centaurian and my friend Scott did a great job..(and rather creepy too) of being Judas.....



Jeremy meets Judas....

They still had lightening and live animals though...(one of them did a number in the church....) We had both babies with us, and while Jeremy was quiet...Talon just doesn't yet appreciate the finer arts of drama...(LOL!) so LA ended up in the nursery for most of the production.

After the play, we headed over to Denny's for supper with a bunch of the family...LA, Mark and Esther, Les and Iris, Anna and Gerald, and I think there were more...but my memory is like a sieve these days...(still pregnancy hormones..that's my excuse and I'm stickin to it...)

TO BE CONT....

Jeremy and Talon's Big Weekend...and baby dedication....


Jeremy and Talon were OFFICIALLY introduced to the entire Wikman clan this weekend....(at least that's what it felt like....LOL!) Talon dealt with it quite well...being the outgoing kind of guy he is.....Jeremy however, was a little freaked out....I don't blame him. Coming from a kind of small family...being at a Wikman family gathering can be.....well......completely OVERWHELMING folks....Don't get me wrong...I think it is great-especially for my kids. I think that society has lost most of it's dependence on family, and I think that is wrong...but still it is OVERWHELMING.....So...here is what your going to get......a whole LOT of pictures of the babies with every Wikman in creation...but it will be great..because they are babies...and babies are always cute...right?
ok...First of all...LA (Kendal's sister with Talon pictured below...) came with Mark (Kendal's brother


...you will know him cause he is the really hairy guy....) and Esther (Marky's girl....) on Thursday night. (Observation...all of the Jones girls have red hair..CREEPY...although gossip has it LA's hair may be going brown...) Of course, no one could wait till Friday to see Jeremy so Thursday night after work, we went over to Kendal's parents so that Kendal's siblings could meet the new prince.....
This used to be LA's necklace, but now it is a chew toy for Talon. Actually, everything that fits into his mouth is a chew toy...his foot, his fist, your fist.....your face...(not kidding....)

Marky's first meeting with little Jones...Mark is trying to see a resemblance between the boy and Kendal...Jeremy is wondering why Marky is wearing a head peice on his chin....

Jeremy is still wondering....


Decision made. Yes, Jeremy looks like Kendal...
Jeremy is still trying to decide about Mark...

Best Shot Monday....

Jer bears first shopping trip....this was actually taken on Sat...but hey....



Eventful Saturday...


Saturday was a pretty eventful day for us, and especially for Jeremy who had all kinds of firsts...
Kendal had to work in the morning, so we all got up at 7am. Brandy and Kendal went to his job and worked, and I had promised Bree a shopping trip, and so her, Jer and I also all piled into the car. I haven't had any time to spend individually with any of my kids in ages, and so I was really looking foreward to it.
First off, Bree and I met up with my friend Brenda, and went to a "twins" sale at one of the churches in the Cathedral district... It was my second time there, and I have bought stuff both times.
This time I got a baby einstein excersaucer for $55.00. It was in very good condition, and I was really excited about it, because I had wanted one before, but they were $150.00 and I am cheap and wasn't about to pay that...
My daughter found some really cute little suits, and made me buy those too, although I have absolutly no idea where the boy is EVER going to wear them.....LOL!
When we were done there, Bree and I went out for lunch to Smitty's at the Southland mall.


When we were done, the GREAT shop began....

Have you ever shopped with a 14 year old girl?
It is VERY time consuming to say the least....
She isn't even as bad as most either....The biggest problem we were having is that they don't make clothes for real people. Bree is NOT a big girl...she is size 11, but do you think that we could find teen girl jeans any bigger then a 5? Anyways, we did eventually, but not without a lot of frusteration on Bree's part....We got to the mall at about 10 am, and by the time we left...it was 3pm.....

We did eventually find all we needed, and went to pick up Kendal and Brandy at work....
Bree decided that she needed to get a few more shirts though, and I was shopped out, so Kendal and I dropped off the girls at the mall downtown, and headed down to Wascana to enjoy the weather...(It was 18 above....)
The walk was only supposed to take about an hour, but in the middle Jeremy decided to be hungry, so I had to find a quiet place to nurse him where we would get the least interupption. We also kept bumping into people we know...
It was really nice though...Didn't even need to wear a coat.
I am really out of shape. I couldn't excercise or go for walks while I was pregnant, and I haven't been able to since I had Jer because I have had two babies living with me....so I suffered a bit.....
I am really going to have to work at the weight loss thing.
After the park, we went and picked up the girls, and went out for a coffee
at one of the local coffee shops...We had a lot of fun as the girls were in a really goofy mood. I had a mocha, Kendal had a Jones soda, I think Bree had a hot choclate, but the really funny one was Brandy...she had an expresso (double shot)....and she had never had one before...She said that she liked it, but her face when she first tasted it was priceless...Plus she wanted whipped cream..and there wasn't any...I knew what her reaction was going to be, so I snapped a picture....
It was a really good day...and after months...and I do mean months...of not being able to do anything fun with our kids...I am glad that we had the chance!

Middle Child Syndrome

Poor Taco Bell is having some real jealousy issues these days. Ever since the babies came to live with us, he went from being the baby of the family and the one who got all of our attention to being just a dog. He has been sucking up every scrap of attention anyone will give him. I took this picture yesterday when I sat on the couch and he came and buried his face in my armpit. That's desperation!
