Posting hot off the press

Well, it was a fun filled weekend. First on Saturday, my g/f's daughter was in her end of the year dance recital. Wow! Does she ever have some awesome dancing moves! She was fantastic! I took Kaitlyn with me and she enjoyed the entire show as well. It went by really quick. I then went to pay for Ryan's summer camp. I signed him up for half days for the week of the 16th at the Chilliwack gymnastics club. This is basic stuff with trampoline. I really hope he'll participate and have fun! It's only from 9am-12pm. I couldn't do the full day if he doesn't like it. That would be torture!

Sunday, I was invited to a Pampered Chef party at Melissa's. I picked up Suzanne and we (including the boys as Dave was taking Kaitlyn to the ferry) headed over for 3:30pm. We didn't end up leaving until 7pm. Melissa put on quite the spread. Thank you Melissa. The demo made jerk chicken salad and strawberry tart. Then Melissa put out shrimp rings, 7 layer dip, spinach dip, hot wings and honey garlic wings. I was in my element! She made hot dogs for the boys and even made Ryan an Ice Cream Sundae. I would never do that at home. He was still talking about it when he got home. It looked yummy. The demo was awesome! So there is a connection for you when you get back Aysha. Her name is Kam and she's been doing it for a couple of years part time now. They have some really cool stuff since the last show I went to. I bought some cool things and I will post you a picture of my goodies with explanations when the loot comes. (A good excuse to post something since my life is pretty routine.)

Hope you have a great week! Ryan's last day is Wednesday when he has his little grad ceremony. I will probably post then. Thursday I have a workshop to do and probably friday is when we head to Dave's brother's place. I'm so looking forward to getting away rain or shine!

g'nite.

Busy Crafting

Hope everyone is well! It's been a little busy for me around here. Never mind looking after the boys...whew! I have been crafting my little heart out! Lots of projects on the go. I was working on Thank you cards for Sue's niece to go with the 12 announcements and 12 blessing/advice cards as a shower present. Her shower was today. Of course I had to make her a card too! I had a few birthdays to make cards for. My sisters whose birthdays are on the 6th and YOU Aysha. I really hope that you got it! I also just realized that I have 2 kid birthday cards to make this week! Yikes, I better get on that...lol. I am also working on grad caps for Ryan's kindergarten class. I currently have 2 made of the 22 needed...lol. They are easy to make. Last week I was preparing for our monthly scrap club meeting. I think it went rather well. I think everyone was happy with their pages! I am now working on projects for this Open House that I'm doing at this ladies house who sells Usborne books. She is holding the Open House with different home based business'. There will me me, her and Tupperware, Avon, Discovery Toys and Epicure. I want to do a simple make and take and I need to come with a door prize, and a snack. lol. I also want to organize my samples so people have something to look at. On top of that , I need to also get started on Sue and Mike's patient cards for their July birthdays....hahaha.

Tomorrow I am taking Lia to get her foot x-rayed. She had surgery a few weeks ago and has a follow up with the specialist on Tuesday. She's been ill with a terrible cough so hasn't felt up to getting it done. It has to be done tomorrow for sure. I will drop Ryan off and head to Abbotsford. I also have to get a couple of birthday presents as Ryan has been invited to Jackson's party and of course Master Jordan. I'm not sure when I'll get to see him and Kelli but I'm sure we'll make a point of it. If not, I'll mail it. lol. Kids like getting mail!

If you haven't noticed, I have attached a music player to this blog. I wish I could play it all the time. I just need to add lots more songs. If you have any suggestions, let me know. Of course when you're adding music, you draw a complete blank. Of course Bryan, but then not everyone wants to listen to only Bryan, except me. lol. I think I'm getting old because I like a lot of the current music but I couldn't tell you who sings it. When we were teenagers, Kelli and I would sing to every song on the radio. Remember when Clint asked us if we knew every word to every song? Our reply was, what she doesn't know, I know and what I don't know, she knows. Music was our life. Now, I try to keep the house quiet. I like quiet, especially during nap time! I know Kelli is up to date with music, so if you're reading this, make me some suggestions chickie! Kelli has music going all the time. I love it! I don't have a good stereo so there's no point. I still have a record player for peats sake! I do have an ipod, but hardly ever listen to it. Mainly because I need to be able to hear the kids.

Well, I think I've typed long enough for you to actually listen to one song. What do you think?

G'night

Yarrow Days and Kaitlyn's 16th Birthday.

Well, of course I forgot our camera when we went to Yarrow days. It of course was stinking hot! The parade was great as always and the park was filled with live music, the smell of bbq and the sound of festival! We left there, had McDonald's for lunch as I was still getting stuff ready for the party and didn't want to have to cook lunch too! We had the McAuley's over, Dave's brother John, Dave's mom Lia and Kaitlyn's cousins, Brandy and Kirsten. It's amazing how they've changed over the years. Of course, it's hard to believe that Dave and I have been together for 10 years! Some days it seems like more, lol, but really, where has the time gone? I have included some pictures from the birthday, and sorry I haven't been around to update.
