Trick or Treating anyone?

This year I didn't have the time to make the kids' costume as I had planned so I had to buy them. Michaela had her heart set on going as Snow White, and as for Logan, I happened to find a pair of toddler Carharts and so i decided that he would go as Bob the Builder, or as one guy tonight called him.....Mike Holmes....
They got a hole bunch of candy and I think that people loaded Logan up with candy because they thought that he was so freaking adorable. It is going to us awhile to get through all this candy.

6 Random Things

So I was reading Jess's blog and reading her 6 random things and noticed when I got to the end that she had tagged me to list mine. So here it goes;

1) As well as Jessica I too know all the words to the "Mormon Rap" and think it's sad that Mormon Youth have no clue what we are talking about when we mention it.

2) I am addicted to Facebook just for the mere fact that I LOVE to find long lost friends and see what they are up to. I like to reconnect and mend some broken, but not burnt bridges. I do though, at time, think that I spend too much time on it when I should be doing other things..just don't tell my husband that I admit that.

3) I am VERY close to my family and think that I have the best parents in the world although it wasn't always like that. I also think that I have the kindest husband who takes care of us and always looks out for the best interests of his family. He is my best friend and I don't know what my life would be like without him. I also adore my kids and even though at time they test my patience I wouldn't trade them for the world.

4) I LOVE photography and am trying to start up my own photography business. It is hard at times, but I love it so much that I persevere and keep jugging along. I love how I can say many words with the click of the camera and portray a feeling and make a memory that people didn't know that they even made.

5) I wish I had someone who would help he organize and clean my house. Oh and decorate it too. I have all these big plans but somehow I just don't seem to find the time to do to them or I don't really know where to start. I wish I knew how to dejunk, but I think that sometimes I just don't have the patience for it and wish that I did. Cleaning? well that's a whole other story.

6) I wish that it was easier to loose wieght than gain it. I have been working out and running like crazy and I am not where I want to be. I look at myself in the mirror and think hmmmm. I look really good today and then I will get a picture taken and think..hmmmm... I didn't think that I looked that FAT!!! So I guess what I am saying is that I wish I had a better self image of myself and didn't feel so about about my looks all the time...it gets exhausting after awhile.


So there you have it my 6 random thoughts. Now are you ready I have to tag 6 people to do this too....I tag..Kim, Leslie, Nikki, Mandy, Sarah, Krista

True Friendship......

Enough of that Sissy Crap!



Are you tired of those sissy "friendship" poems

that always sound good,

but never actually come close to reality?

Well, here is a series of promises

that actually speak of true friendship.

You will see no cutesy

little smiley faces on this card -

Just the stone cold truth

of our great friendship.

1. When you are sad -- I will

help you plot revenge

against the sorry jerk who made you sad.

2. When you are blue -- I will

try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile -- I will

know you are plotting something

that I must be involved in.

4. When you are scared -- I will

rag on you about it every chance I get.

5. When you are worried -- I will

tell you horrible stories about

how much worse it could be,

until you quit whining.

6. When you are confused -- I will

use little words.

7. When you are sick -- I will

tell you to stay the heck away from me

until you are well again.

I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall -- I will

point and laugh at your clumsy butt.

This is my oath....

I pledge it to the end.

"Why?" you may ask.

"Because you're my friend!"

Friendship is like

peeing your pants:

Everyone can see it,

but only you can

feel the true warmth.

The Mom Song Sung to William Tell Overture with Lyrics

This video is by far my favourite. It is so true isn't it? I hope that you can relate as well as I can.

We spent Thanksgiving Monday at Heritage Park I will post some pictures later as soon as I have a minute, but until then I thought that you might enjoy this.

WARNING...not for those with a weak stomach....

So Logan has been initiated into the VERY elite club of "People who have had stitches" Yes that's right, last night Logan got his very own set of stitches...four to be exact, right in the head no less.
He was standing on a chair in our living room and although Sean and I both told him to get off the chair, he being 22 months knew better and stayed. Well low and behold the chair went backwards and Logan followed suit. We have an end table that has a door on it and..no he couldn't just hit the corner of the table he had to go and get his laceration from the door hinge itself. Needless to say that blood started GUSHING..yes gushing from his wound and Sean immediately took action..thanks first aid training..mom was a wreck. Sean cleaned up the blood and there it was a nice sized gash in is noggin. I wanted to rush him to the hospital, but then discovered that there wasa n after hours clinic here in Airdrie and so I took him there hoping that there would be no ned for stitches. But the gash was deeper than we thought that when the doctor cleaned it, it started to bleed all over again. So stitches it would be. I left the room and the doctor and nurses took charge and froze the area and out he came with four stitches in the front of his head.
Other than an extremely sensative noggin he is back to his old fun loving self and yes he is vack to standing on the guilty chair. You'd think he would've learnt.
