HELLLLOOOOO

We are back from Kelowna....had a fairly good time! WE took 3 days to get there stopping in Moose Jaw and Calgary. On the way down we deceided to camp to same some money which was good except that our air mattress's were crap!

Oh well...anyways, we got there on Monday night and spent most of the time visiting with family.

*Tuesday...I dont know what we did?

*Wednesday, Jeff and Narad and Jiseong went golfing.

*Thursday was the Japanese wedding party at Wasabi,

*Friday we went mini golfing and took the kids to a little water park. Also on Friday it was Our 10th Anniversary...I cant believe that it has been 10 years....Jeff and I went out for dinner at a very nice romantic place called Wild Apple. It was right on the lake...it was gorgeous!

*Sat was the wedding...beautiful!!!!

*Sunday we drove home! It took us 3 days to get home as well but we stayed in Hotels, so that was awesome! In Calgary, we spent 5 hours in IKEA ( Jeff wasnt so impressed) but we bought a pantry for our kitchen and 2 chairs, 2 little coffee tables and numerous stuff for the baby room!

That is all for now...here are some pics from the trip..

A wonderful Sunday

This past Sunday, Jeff and the girls and I went to Grand beach...just the the 4 of us. It was blissful!!

We swam, ate, sunbathed, watched the sunset, watched some fireworks.....just had an all around wonderful family day! I love when things like this just happen and everything falls into place.....makes for wonderful memories:)

What do you like to do with your family?

how will I do it?

so basically I have to make 300 more hous to get mat leave....that seems like ALOT to me. I only have 4 more months to do it in....I have to work my butt off, which I am not used to :)

WIll I make it? I dont know.....will keep you posted!

Hellllllo blogger world......

Yes I have been neglectful....I havent blogged since OCTOBER!! LOL

BTW...Im fine now after my tonsillectomy :) I actually have not been sick since...for real!

Life for me is going great....I am expecting my 3rd child in January 2009....Im very happy about that and things seem to be moving along great. The sad thing is that some people just cant be happy for you no matter what...oh well...no friends of mine!

In the scrapping world...I suck...I dont seem to have any motivation at all :( I havent since I got preggo....hopefully it will come back to me soon.

Whats up with you all????I've missed this mindless chatter to the cyber world....I will keep it up...I promise:)

Lesson for today: let stupid people just roll off your back and keep going :)

My baby belly

18 weeks

Day 8 Tonsillectomy

K so I know you are all sick of hearing about this Tonsil thing but its all im about right now. Why? Well...because it is all consuming and terrible and I am so weak I can do anything but type about it :) Sorry....

Anyways, I am on Day 8 and I think I feel better today, the only issue is the weakness. I havent eaten at all and have lost 15 lbs now...ridiculous. You would think that I would be happy about that but really I rather be fat right at this moment. I still have alot of pain when swallowing and my taste buds are definetly damaged. On a good note, I managed a piece of toast with cheese whiz on it !!!! Granted it took me an hour to eat it but I got it down! WHOOT

Saturday is the online crop at www.loveisinthedetails.ca I cant wait and really hope that I can handle it and do some scrapping!!

Nite all

Day 6-Tonsillectomy

Well it is day 6 of my tonsillectomy and I'm not sure if I feel better today or what? Maybe I am used to the pain now? Yesterday was definetly the worst day so far. I cry and felt sick and cried some more....yuck

Anyways, just found out that my sister is planning on staying in Alabama when she goes to visit in one week. Im really not happy about that. She wasnt suppose to move there till December...Im going to really miss her!

I guess that when you are in love, you are in love.....and I am happy for her, just sad for me:(

Anyways that is all for now...I am going to attempt to take these pain meds....that is the worst part...trying to take the meds...I just sit there and stare at them for an hour, trying to get the courage up to take them.......

Wish me good luck!

Im hungry!

WEll, the surgery is over but the pain begins...I got my tonsils out on Thursday. Let me tell you I was so scared for the actual surgery, which went just fine. I was completly out so I didnt feel a thing....thank god!

Now this recovery time is hellish let me tell you...10 -14 days to feel back to normal again? and Im on day 3? Lord help me!

I cant talk

I cant swallow

I cant eat

I cant smoke

What the heck can I do.........type......that is it!

I really dont recommed this surgery to anyone.....maybe I will feel different when I am healed up??

Since It is Turkey weekend and Chelsea wanted to see some thankfulness stuff here.....I am thankful for my beautiful family, who are very supportive and kind, and also for T3's!!!!

Peace

Happy Birthday to my Julie!!

Good times....My sweet angel turned 8 on September 28th! We had a great birthday party and an even greater time at the corn maze. We went to Boonstra farms, they have a petting zoo, mini golf, hay rides and of course the corn maze. We had never been there before so it was alot of fun! Here is some pics of the glorious event

On a sadder note, Jeff and I have had to cancel our cruise...:(

We need to get our financial situation in order and become people we can be proud of!

Also on Thrusday I am getting my tonsils out! YIKES I am totally freaked out by this! Wish me luck!

That all folks....I think I am in need of some creative healing aka SCRAPBOOKING!!!!

Dreary day

ok ...so...I didnt go to the gym today...

Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow!

I got to hang out with my sister tonight and scrapbook....two of my favorite things:)

We enjoyed the Monday night mystery Layout with Vanessa at www.loveisinthedetails.ca

Check out this site.....if you love scrapbooking and meeting new people...you will love it!

I also did a BOM page and 2 more Disney pages...YAY for me!

What a rainy dreary day though...yuck...I hope it gets better for the weekend so we can celebrate my Julie's 8th bday!!!

Back from the crop..........

Well, I just got home from the Miami crop-what a blast! I got alot done-10 Layouts in all. I am super happy with that. I enjoyed seeing all the awesome gals from LIITD. I cant wait till next time!
On another note, it has been 2 weeks since the miscariage. I am feeling alot better but have reservations of trying again. I really dont want to go through that again. I'm sure Jeff will convince me otherwise...hehe.
Also, I am in need of Hambly Transperancies. Thanks ladies at LIITD!
Check out my new stuff:)
Lesson for today: when you are feeling creative, go with it!!!!

Sad news today

Well, I have had a rough week I can tell you that. First I had strep throat so bad that I was in the hospital. Then I started to bleed-not a good thing when you are pregnant. On Sunday October 8th, I had a miscarriage. I feel so awful about it and wish it were not true. I wanted this baby so bad that my heart aches. I cant stop crying. I had to have a D & C yesterday which was ok-not as scary as I thought. The Doctor told me that it is easier to get pregnant after a D&C then if you miscarry naturally. As soon as we can, we will try again. I have to be strong and positive and count my blessings. I have two awesome girls that are my heart and my marriage to Jeff is stronger than ever. I am blessed I am blessed. Thanks for your support
Lesson for today: count your blessings

BIG news for me!!

Well, I have been avoiding the blog because I was trying to keep a secret but now the cat is out of the bag, and most people that know me know the secret! Jeff and I are expecting our third baby on May 18th!! YAAA. We have been trying to conceive for a while now and were at the point of giving up. I was frustrated because I have had 2 healthy pregnancies and babies and didn't feel like it would be that difficult to get prego again!! Anyhow, all we need was some alone time, some alcohol and Maui....Voila....new baby! I am very happy and excited but on the same hand quite nervous about it. We have decided not to move at this time because we cant afford it, so we will all be crammed into our small side by side for some more time. I have been feeling ok till today, and feel quite sick all day and very tired. That is to be expected though. IM frustrated because I haven't found a midwife yet and would really like to get the ball rolling on that one!!! Anyways, that is all for today. I must go and scrap! Only like 21 days till Miami crop!! Yippee!
Lesson for today: good things come to those who wait!

See ya

A new LO for me!!!

Well I did it! I actually did a LO tonight! I'm happy and think it turned out nice. I did the Mystery Monday night Layout at LIITD-I really dont follow directions well and of course kinda screwed up but it worked out! My odd little tummy thing is getting better, didnt go to a doctor. Things to make you go hmmmm.....havent been visited by 'friend' this month yet. crossing my fingers........................
What were you doing 5 years ago today? I was at my MIL watching the tv in utter shock. Just want to mention this because I have not forgotten.
Nothing else to say except that my 4 year old doesnt want to go to bed and is driving me crazy!
Lesson for today: just do it!!

Something weird

I have something weird on my tummy. I have nothing else to talk about except that it hurts and its big and I dont know what the hell it is!!!!!! I guess I better get it checked out. Anyhow, I soooo need to clean my scrapping space that it is ridiculous! I havent scrapped in quite a while because of it and I need to scrap (as posted in last post) Honestly I have 2 pizza boxes and 2 bags of scrapping stuff that I have bought and dont even remember what is in them, that I havent put away cause I cant find my desk! NICE. Today was another happy day at Wally world, line ups all night and not a happy customer in sight *****SIGH***** Did I tell you I hate my job??? On a happy note I get to go to a crop on the 23rd!! YAY - thanks for inviting me Vanessa! I cant wait!
Lesson for today: putting things away right away prevents stress and messes!!!!

See ya

oh my Wallyworld

Serious...I hate retail. Is it just me or did we all not have all summer to prepare for the first day of school! Why is it sooo busy here? Dont you have any more binders? Cant you open another register? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I dont mean to be a bag but seriously, dont leave it to the last day and there wouldnt be a problem!! Ok Im done.....venting that is! I bought the ellusive 'tote' I actually love it, its cool! Im going to buy one for my sister in law and my sister!!! YAY My girl went to school today, I cried. Im a big baby! She didnt even want me there, too embarrassed, maybe thats why I cried. WOW random thoughts today. I need to scrapbook! Lesson for today...hmmmm....not for me but for others.....dont leave things to the last moment and your life WILL be less Chaotic

Maybe gazing at this awesome sunset taken in Maui will be calming

see ya

I guess I suck

Well I pretty much suck at this blogging thing!!! Whatever,lets think positive, Im here and that is what counts!
Jeff and I have just returned from Maui on Sunday. What a blast, the beaches are beautiful, water is warm and the drinks are ample! We really missed the girls and vowed to take them on the 'next trip'!!! I havent done any scrapping lately but bought some cool stuff in Maui and just ordered from LIITD-yikes on the pocketbbook!! I deceided to start uploading some of my stuff on here, just for fun!!Maybe I'll have some cool contests of challenges for all my peeps out there....just a thought! K gotta go to bed
Lesson for today: its never too late to start again!!!

see ya

Nothing day

Today feels like a nothing day. I mean, I did stuff but I feel like I didn't do anything!! I did clean up my scrappin area, which was good. It always makes me feel good to tidy up-just so I could mess it up again!! LOL We went to soccer today-Julie's game was cancelled but Jamie's game was a go. I'm not sure how to get her more interested-she just stands there-doesn't run, doesn't kick-nothing! The thing is that she is really good at home, kicks awesome! Anyhow, I tried to bribe her with candy, and it kinda worked! I know, good MOM!! So, after soccer we went out for supper-we choose Hooters-haha. I'm starting to look like a bad mother! Anyways, while we were eating, a bunch of guys from the Shrine came in, all decked out in there 'kilts' and stuff, and then they actually played 2 songs-with the drums and bagpipes! It was really random, but super cool! The girls loved it and were given alot of attention because there were no other kids there (obviously-its Hooters!!) Lesson for today: no matter what my day is like, I can always count on my kids to make me smile!!! They are my heart and soul

My start

I first want to welcome anyone who happens to stumble on to this blog! I have contemplating a blog for awhile, and actually started one so I could comment on Nic's Blog. Which is kinda silly. I like to read other people's blogs and maybe, just maybe someone will want to read mine!
My day was super great because I had a great mail day! I also got the primas from Aleks! YAY cant wait to use them. Lessons for today..........have patience and kindness in your heart. You never know what is going on with a person till they tell ya!

see ya!
