Easter Weekend

We had a full and wonderful family holiday this past long weekend. We went up to Edmonton for a few days. Our first stop in the.mall was the Disney Store. The kids loved that place, naturally.




Then we all went on the old time ship.





Back to the hotel to a very basic pool - but the kids had a blast. Well, Dylan and Caden had a blast and Liam and Evan were satisfied to watch them from the steps.




We were at GalaxyLand the minute it opened which is definately the way to do it on a holiday weekend. There were no lines and we got a double stroller. We stayed a few hours and then it was way too crowded but we had done all the little kid rides by then anyway.






Down time at the hotel - movie time. We were plenty played out!

The next night we went to Calgary because Justin's sister very conveniently had her baby while we were still in Edmonton! YAY. Thanks for that Jacquie. So the kids got to have an Easter Egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's and I got to go shopping by myself (there was very little shopping at WestEd with 4 little boys).



We were glad to get to see some family and I was able to visit with Amy who is in Calgary with her new tiny baby and we were able to meet Jacquie and Kenny's baby.

It was a really great time away. And then it was nice to get home and settle back in for the rest of Caden's week off.

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...
