dancing, walking, and grosstaches

finally downloaded some video off our camera tonite. its been awhile, and my kids LOVE watching "home movies" so thats how we spent our sunday night.
Greta has been going to a ballet class since September. Ironically enough its called "Studio One" and so far she seems to really like it. It is a bit secretive though, i dont really know what goes on in there most of the time, and they had parent observation night but Greta was sick, and she really wanted me to come watch. So i asked Miss shauna if i could sit in the class and watch for a few minutes last week, this is what i saw...






This week has also been a busy one for Ozzie. he's gone from scaling walls, furniture etc. at lightning speed, to crossing the hallway on his own, to crossing the kitchen, going down the whole hallway, and now he's a full out walking maniac. His first real venture away from the walls started on Tues. Nov. 24th, and now he doesn't even think twice about it, he barely falls, and is a pretty, stinkin, happy boy! Its like he totally just decided that he was gonna walk, and did it. He could have done it earlier, but he wanted to make sure he was good at it first(daddy trait).
This video is from his first day or real walking on Tues., the second video is from Last night. crazy what a difference a week can make:)







In other news, thankfully "Movember" is pretty much over. Dick and a bunch of his man-friends helped raise money for Prostate Cancer by growing some nasty "mo's." The Neilsons had a sweet party to commemorate the month long event; food was ate, awards were given, just for men was used, and all in all it was a great time! dick is already planning his stash for next year...oh and he won the "try the hardest award" or something like that. due to his ridiculous plucking of the top mustache hairs to make it look more 'greasy mexican' than ever.(no offense)

  1. Awesome vidoes! Greta is a good little dancer. Did Ozzie totally skip crawling? He's so steady! Those staches are so creepy, I'm going to have nightmares tonight! Weren't you scared of your husband all month? I wish we could meet up somehow over Christmas, but we're only going to be in Suckmonton. When will you guys be in Alberta, it would be so fun to try and meet up one day!

  2. LOVE all your vidoes! Greta is an adorable ballerina! And what can I say about Ozzie's chubby legs? I want to squeeze them! He really did get good at walking really fast. I love when he claps for himself! We haven't gotten any good home videos in almost a YEAR. Every attempt is Cohen trying to get the camera from me and me yelling "We're trying to make memories here!" Dick's stache is sick, I love it! At least he can grow one, although maybe I should be thankful for my hairless hubby! (Longest comment of all time)

  3. first of all i cannot believe how long Greta's hair is! I love how she is such a natural dancer (just like her momma)!And the OZ, okay seriously when he was walking down the hallway it was like he was saying "see, i knew i could do it, i just like taking my time folks"...they are getting so big krystyn, i miss those adorable little kids!
    p.s. tell dick the "stache" was a valiant effort.
