Happy Anniversary



Paul and I have been married for 2 years today. This morning I woke up to fresh coffee and a card leaned up to the coffee pot. He set it for when I get up just before he left for work at 5am. I thought that was sweet of him, now I wonder if he'll do that every morning..LOL

I am very lucky to have found such a great guy as Paul. I look forward to sharing many more years with him.

Dance




Last night was Mikayla's first Jazz class, she really enjoyed it. We have decided to give Ballet a go too this year. The theory is that along with Ballet any dance will come easier to pick up. She met one of her friend's from her class at school as well, made the first class easier for both I bet. Only down side to picking up ballet as well is there is a specific outfit to wear. Luckily my niece Kristine took Ballet and still has some of her stuff to pass on to her.

I will upload a picture of Mikayla that I took on our way to class last night. After her first Jazz class she decided to pick up Ballet as well this year.

Wednesday !!!!

Today our new bed arrives. We are gonna want to go to bed really early..LOL Now I will be hunting for a head board and foot board for it. Haven't found exactly the one we want yet !! All in time. I would also like to work on getting the rest of a bedroom suite since we are finally in our own home and don't plan on moving for quite awhile. Moving tends to be hard on furniture. Anyways off I go to vacuum my bedroom before the bed arrives

New Bed...

We finally decided it was time for a new bed. After noticing how sore our backs and necks were getting every morning and how sometimes our night sleep was awful. Yesterday morning around 9 am we had said enough is enough and by 5pm we were the proud owners of a new bed. Now we wait for delivery *sigh* Luckily we only have to wait until Wednesday.

Polls

I have decided to run polls on my blog weekly. I am hoping to come up with a variety of questions to ask as well as keeping the topics light and fun.
I think it will be interesting seeing the results. Enjoy !

Big day for 2 Special Guys in my life !!!



It's my hubby's birthday today !! We celebrated it on Saturday with family. Everyone had a great time, the weather was perfect. Today is Joshua's first mini session of Kindergarten, today is when I leave him there for 1 hour. I am sorta worried about that, I hope he won't be upset when I leave. Wednesday he starts full sessions.

The weather is sure changing fast this year, sure gets cool at night. We've taken down our pool already and I pulled my tomato plants already, they ended up dying early for some reason, maybe they got a hint of frost one night.I have them all laid out ripening on the deck, but yet the neighbors still look good..Any ideas what may have happened to my plants??? They were fine until we got ALL that rain !! Here is a picture of Paul's favourite cake. Its a Bon Bon cake, little bit of filling, cake and pastry all in one. It's really good, I must admit. Unfortunately not everyone makes them, we end up having to get them from Vancouver. When we do have it, it is a real treat ! If anyone else is interested Bon Bon Bakery.

School Year Begins....

This year is especially exciting because Mikayla is in the top grade of her school, 6 out here is still elementary and Joshua starts kindergarten. Tonight we attend his open house, meet the teacher and see his classroom. Tomorrow he has his one to one interview with his teacher, then FINALLY he starts next Monday. They are gradually starting them for an 1 hour first couple days and as of Wednesday full 2.5 hrs. Joshua is in the afternoon class with his friend Spencer from daycare.

The last month or so has been quite the adjustment for Joshua. Middle of July he decides he is done with going to daycare and wants to wait for kindergarten. Let's just say it can't come soon enough..lol

As for Logan he is in the stages of attending daycare as well, we are just waiting for the paper work to be approved. Joshua was diagnosed being globally delayed, daycare has made such a difference he has caught up nicely. I am hoping Logan will have the similar experience.

As for Mikayla today was her first full day of school , so far so good. By Friday she thinks she'll have her class and teacher.

Labour Day Weekend 2008



We went away to Penticton for my cousin's wedding. It was a good weekend, definitely hectic but we all had fun. We didn't get a speeding ticket nor did we hit a deer.
Kids had fun riding around downtown on the peddle bike.
