Happy Mother's Day

A bedtime story from Gramma
Making their own pizza

I hope everyone had a wonderful day. I had a great day! Joel prepared a feast this morning that I was lucky enough to enjoy with my own Mom. My boys presented me with some handmade treasures. I took a nap before enjoying a solitary wonder through the greenhouse dreaming of future landscaping, went to the library, watched a movie by myself (P.S. I Love You.....it was a bit of a tear jerker and maybe a bit sappy but I liked it).


Luca decided he wanted to be dressed up for most of the weekend. The Batman costume is way to big and the Jack Jack costume is too small but he didn't seem to mind.



We are off to Banff for the long weekend and we are all VERY excited! We are staying at the Douglas Fir Resort (http://www.douglasfir.com/) which is very family friendly so if the weather doesn't cooperate we will have plenty to do. I told Luca we could go for a pony ride and he went to bed tonight asking if tomorrow was "horsey day".

8 lbs Down and Vegas Bound!

Well, I am happy to report I am down 8lbs! I can't believe how well I am doing and how great I am feeling. I am actually enjoying the gym......I have been going strong for the last 3 weeks so I am hoping I can keep it up.

We have booked a getaway to Vegas at the end of this month for a much needed break from reality. We have been trying to getaway with Tanis and Quentin forever and the planets have finally aligned to make it happen!

A Visit with Sonia

Happy %^@#*& Earth Day!!

Hey Mother Earth.........Bite Me!!

Sushi Night

A few scenes from our "Sushi Party" last night. Lots of fun....and Saki was had by all! Joel instructed us on the art of rolled Sushi while wearing his Grandfathers Shriners Fez!

Notice the April snow in the background......grrr....it is horrible outside. I was supposed to take supper over to Lee's but the roads were awful and I decided not to venture out. I haven't seen the babe since they were in the hospital. I did some baking today so I will take some food over Tuesday.

Introducing Sonia Grace - My New Niece!!

My niece was born this evening at 6:08pm. I was away on a work trip up to Grande Prairie and Lee called me at 8:30am this morning to tell me her water had broken..............2 1/2 weeks early! The plan was for me to be her labour support again and I thought it would be safe to be away but she and babe had other plans! I made it to the hospital around 6:00pm and the little sweetie waited for me and made her arrival at 6:08pm.

Unbelievable!!
