One more...

I just had to post one more time before I leave!! I am a big ebay person..Well I like to check things out..I've only but one thing before, and that was my garter for the wedding. Brand new, poker themed: This is a very small picture of it..but it is the best, and all for $12 including shipping!!!

So I have been having trouble finding a suit for Dominic for the wedding. As many of you know, we went with suits for the wedding, versus Tuxes. I looked at Sears, Jc Penney, Herbergers, even Walmart...I could not find a size 3 suit. Well that's not true, I found one at Sears but it was blue, and then they had size 4 ones, but they were $100 and would be WAY too big on my LITTLE man! I knew I could find one just as nice for cheaper, so I kept looking..And here I found it on EBAY of all places!! Brand New again, and it's a spanky suit! Including shipping I only paid $40!!!

I am glad I looked a little more and found this, b/c I think it is a much nicer suit than the one from sears.

stay tuned

I am off to my baby sister's graduation! WHAT??? did I just say that?? I guess she is 17, in grade 12 and yes graduating...but man, the saying 'time flies' really applies to A LOT of my life!! Jared and I took the kids for a walk last night to the park, and were talking about how we need to be doing that more often..our kids are already growing up..and before we know it THEY will be the ones graduating! Sometimes we just get so caught up in the day to day running of things and life that we forget to enjoy it!!!

I will be back on Sunday with pics of my sister in her beautiful dress (and her beautiful hair that I will be doing), as well as camping pics and mayhem, and Week 16-- color Green pic's!!

Have a great weekend all!!!

Swimming fun....short lived??

On the weekend we had some fun in the backyard. We brought out the kiddie pools, and the kids played (well Paige mostly just ate the whole time) and I tanned a bit!

Note the blow up pools in the background. The slide is in one, and then there is the rainbow one...well it's became apparent that.....

blow up pools aren't going to last in our yard! By the end of the day, our 'oh so sweet and lovable' pup bit a whole in every section...Our poor pools:

I guess we'll have to look into something else to swim in! She is cute (see below sitting in Dominic's chair)...but sometimes haha

Rider game!

On Friday me , Amber and Lance headed to the Rider game. It was SUCH a blast!! I am going to love having season tickets! It was insane how many people were there. There were 28,800 tickets sold, most ever for the first home preseason game. It was so fun. The next game is July 8th. My birthday and I am definetly looking forward to it!

My sister Amber, me and my brother Lance

so good!!

Amber and I

Me and Lance

Lance, haaha

closeup of Amber

and of course a close up of me

After the game, I went and stayed with Amber. Mom kept the kids over night, so me and Amber had a little slumber party and watched Pride and Prejudice..well I did, Amber more fell asleep within 5 min. haha

Amber putting the movie in.And a self pic of the 2 of us!

Just Beachy!

We are so fortunate to have the Logue family as our friends!! Our kids are so close in age, Les and Jared work to gether, and Marisa and I get along great! Amariah is only a week older than Paige and Tyson is only 6 mths older than Dominic!

So with all this hot weather we've been having, Marisa and I decided to pack the kids up and head down to the river! Yes the river! It was great..noone there but us, I could wear my bikini and not be afraid of people seeing my mommy belly (still lots of work to do on it).

Paige and Amariah are so cute, both just over a year and little pip squeaks. Here they are sporting their hot bathing suits while shoveling food in. You'd think we never fed them...but man those 2 girls eat (most the time better than the boys)

Amariah, same as Paige, is hard to get a photo of her looking at you! I changed the setting on my camera here and hence got much better pics!

Paige...still eating, and you can see Amariah's little hand trying to share!!

The boys of course were busy playing in the water..Dom with the camo shorts, and Tyson with the camo hat.

They only had one little tiff the 2 hours we were there..I think both me and Marisa are impressed. They are starting to play together very well.

Tyson filling a pail up with water

And close to when we were leaving..I thought I better get a pic of Paige STILL eating! She could careless about going in the water, she just wanted to EAT EAT EAT!I know I previously said I don't like putting pics on blogger.com b/c it takes SOOO long. But I've discovered that if I just have 15 min, I play a game while doing it and then it's not soooo bad uploading them one at a time. Still a little annoying though!

Well I am heading to Indian Head at 3, to drop my kids off at my parents house. And then me , my brother Lance, and sister Amber are heading to the Rider game (as previously stated in my blogs).. I am so excited to have season tickets this year I can't even express it!! It would be better if we didn't have such a busy summer, full of friends/family weddings and then our own!!

Anyone know where to find great GREEN facepaint/deco's/anything??? Comment me if you do!

Bella

Our cute little pup Bella:

And the not so cute holes she chews in our socks.

Some lovely pics!

This book is part of the Oprah Book Club..I've just started reading it and it's quite good! It's all about the law of attraction, and that whatever your thoughts are, are what you will attract to you. Some may say it's far fetched, but I agree with it..If you think positive, you should attract positive people. If you are always negative you will attract negative people. MMM Salad. This is a salad I made tonight, and maybe it was just b/c I was so hungry but it looked so appetizing I decided to take a pic!

And this is the invite that I showed a close up of in the prior post. It looks really long, it's not. It must just be the angle I took it at. Oh well.. I'm off to sit outside for a bit! Have a great evening everyone!! I am off to Regina tomorrow to see the Riders play!! I BLEED GREEN!

Week 15-- Red

I scrapbooked a couple invitations...this is the close up of the tag. Paige holding her foot outside.

Week 14 -- Blue

New Blue Bike! Dominic got this for his 3rd birthday. He can't ride it yet..in fact minutes before taking this picture he fell and hit his head on the firepit, poor guy! But you can see, it didn't take him long to get back on! THEN he fell off again! that time he got up and pushed the bike over , haha so cute!

Saskatoon Wedding

On Friday, me and the kids headed off to Saskatoon. My cousin Pam, was getting married. It was a lot of fun. I find going places kind of stressful, when I don't have Jared with me!

I was soooo mad b/c it was lobsterfest this past weekend in dear old Oxbow! Last year I couldn't go b/c my due date was at the same time, and then I ended up having Paige early so we had a newborn baby and still couldn't go. So I vowed I was going to go this year, and then couldn't b/c I had a wedding to go to. Next Year I just hope noone gets married on Lobsterfest weekend, b/c I might just have to miss the wedding. haha.

I have such problems uploading pics on blogger. It only lets me upload one at a time or else it says "error", so doing one at a time takes awhile! So here are two pics of the wedding, and I will make a photo album on facebook for the rest of the pics.

Me and Paige at the wedding dance:

Pam and her new husband Elden's first dance.

Stay tuned for this week's color! I will try and get at it today!

Week 1 -- Yellow

Again..what is yellow and what is dandelion... Here's my main man Dominic again wearing his bob the builder hat/helmet/whatever it's called
Here is a flower arrangement on my front step..however they don't look yellow here, they look white. But the centers look yellow anyways.

And now I am caught up to date and will start with Week #14 when the color is chosen by Dee-ann .

If you are still interested in reading my "notes", they will no longer be on 'blogspot' but on facebook, so feel free to check them out.

Week 2 -- Indigo

I also had to search Indigo online..and found it to be a rich purple. Just don't pay attention to the dying flowers next to it and it is a beautiful pic

Week 3 -- Orange

My little man, Dominic, holding an orange fish...not quite sure where that toy came from but it is a good pic!

Week 4 -- Pink

I LOVE PINK!! I could've taken pic's of everything. Both of these photos are of things both near and dear to me. Firstly, my photo album, I am terrible at actually getting photos developed, but I do love having them and storing them in albums for all to see.

The second is my cell phone.. I have become a text messaging addict and love having my phone. It's also a comfort to have when I am apart from the kids and/or Jared

Week 5 -- Apple Green

I think both these pics are great! Both of frogs! The first is of the kids Easter Basket, and the second is a candle my girlfriend, Allisha, gave me a few years back!

Week 6 -- Black

The black camels in my living room!

Week 7-- Chestnut Brown

I really struggled with what shade this color really is. So, after doing my usual (searching online), I've discovered it's in the red family..So this is the photo I came up with:
This is a mask in my safari living room. It's the brown in the actual mask that I think is a chestnut brown, not the red wall , haha.

Week 8 -- White

For this week's color I decided on Paige's piggy bank!

Week 9 -- Robin Egg Blue

This is a lap quilt that was made for Paige by Jared's gramma. It is a beautiful quilt and I absolutely love the colors in it! The second pic is close up of the one square, and is much what I have pictured for robin egg blue!

Week 10--Dandelion

This pic is terrible, but humorous! Dominic and Paige went down to Minot Zoo with my parents, and Dom came back with these miniature turtles.

I had to flip the yellow turtles over, b/c their tops looked more orange than yellow..so now it looks like the green ones are horning in to eat them, haha.

Not that great of a pic. I struggled a little with this one, trying to decide if something was yellow or dandelion, so this is all I came up with for now!

Week 11 and 12 -- Brown and Lavender

This is my brown and lavender picture...again too much green in it! But the flowers are beautiful!

I added the following two pics of brown and lavender. When coming across these things, I couldn't pass it up..so here's my two other ones.. I still think the flowers are my fave shot though
