GIRL POWER -- its all in the dress

ok... today I wore a dress... .gasp .... Yes a dress!!! I have wore a dress before dont get me wrong but really I am a blue jeans a tshirt girl all the way..... so lets get back to the dress : ) WHILE wearing this dress..... I moved my ENTIRE living room around, changed the stand for the TV, changed the stand in the entryway, swept, windexed, furniture polish, wiped the leather furniture down.... well nothing is really in the same spot as it was.... even the desktop computer is moved... I think I will wear the dress tomorrow too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

OH... and yay me... two posts in ONE day!

Bear time...

We have had a bear in our yard for the past few days... he is HUGE and not afraid. I can yell at him and he doesn't even flinch!!! I called the Rangers and they are supposed to do something about it, I am waiting for their call. fingers crossed its soon. He likes to hang between our trucks in the driveway :(

Thanks to Natalie for giving me a blog makeover!!!!!!!!! You rock Nat. The blog header is a picture that Emily took and Nat edited : ) I really love the feel : )

Dont fall on the floor....but today I am wearing a DRESS...yuppers a dress... shocking I know!! I never do lol .... just felt like being girly. And not girly like doing housework, cooking, laundry or anything like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you checked out the new Riff Raff in the store??!?!?! Some really beautiful pieces and they are flying fast!

My house looks like a tornado just blew through and I just dont have the ambition today to clean it up!! blah... I would really just love to run and hide at my scrappy table and scrap... maybe I will!!

Monday!! Monday!!

Monday... come on!! yes, its Monday, the weekend is over and its back to the grind... BUT it really is a brand new FRESH week for us!!

Well last week I was in bed for a few days, with a sore leg : ( I was unable to sit up for more than 5 minutes and I couldn't stand the pain.

The Design Team had their first reveal at L-COM, and the Sketch DT had an amazing blog hop!! and the card team... wow!! drop over and check out their cards! www.letscaptureourmemories.com

I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such a wonderful group of ladies on the site and well R too! HAHAHA

Simon lost a tooth... well it was loose just a little bit but he is soooo impatient... he kept at it until finally at midnight he comes out and says that he got it! It really wasnt that loose! Sooo... we put it under his pillow and a glass of water out for the tooth fairy. In the morning the water was red.... did you know that if you put a glass of water out for the tooth fairy in the morning it will be the colour of the dress she was wearing????!?!?!? Yuppers, the fairy dust falls off! HOW cool is that!?!?!?!?! He is 2 dollars richer and one more tooth less and a happy camper.

We are doing school work... ... radius, parallel lines, blah! Simon is cutting feathers for his headband right now... we are studying history. He is doing an amazing job with his scissors!!!!! I am very proud! Austin is working at Math, he is NOT a fan of math at all! lol We are off to read some Science right now! yay!

Have a great day ladies!

HOLY .....

OK.. seriously, can you please tell me I am a huge blog slacker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will blog, I will blog, I will blog!!!!!!!!!! I promise!


hmmm.... I have been keeping a little bit busy. Roger and I now have 17,000 kms on the bikes.... yes, yes we do!!!! Can you believe that? How crazy is that? I had set a goal of 20,000 for this season. We are getting closer all the time..... its getting nippy out in the evenings so our goal is a little harder to reach right now.

We decided this year that Rogers trucking business hasnt been as busy as previous years so we sold the trucking equipment. Huge weight off his shoulders, weekend repairs and maintenance are no more! He hasn't worked much this year (hence 17,000 kms) but he started a new job 3 weeks ago.... a weekly paycheck is SOO new to us!

I started my own website! www.letscaptureourmemories.com Drop on by and say hello. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful group of friends! Inspiring design teams, monthly kits, and scrappy online store! WOOT!!! I haven't had much time for scrapbooking lately but I have some things rolling around in my head!

We started school today... we decided to stick with homeschooling again this year... in our spare time HAHA!! Emily is in grade 11... doesnt that make me old?????????????????? Austin is in grade 9 and Simon, grade 2. Today was a day!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Warm Weather!

Finally some warmer weather! It reached 32 degrees in Frederiction yesterday!

Roger and I have 5000 kms on so far this year, not bad : ) Emily attended the Spring Formal at FHS... she looked stunning! Austin is now TALLER than me! how can that be??? He has a good 2 inches on me now :) and he loves it. Simon is cursive writing everything now, can sound and spell words out and can read ANYthing!

I just received a box of scrappy goodness today... OMWord.... the goodies are FAB!! I can;t wait to dig into them and get creating.

Our cousins are here from Boston this weekend and we are celebrating my Mum's Aunt's 100th Birthday, wow!

almost Easter!

It just dawned on me that this is for the third year in a row.... a different home we have been in! LOL We haven't decorated any eggs YET! There is an Easter egg hunt at the Church tomorrow and the kids will have fun there. My parents always go every year... they love taking the kids!

We were really hoping to get out for a ride today on the bikes but brrrr!!!!

New layout is my boys! Austin is the MOST caring, loving little boy EVER... he has always been so protective of his little bro Simon. Definitely warms a mothers heart. Austin does the sweetest things for me all the time.

Wowzers!! I suck!

I apparently suck at keeping this blog updated!! My cousin Dan in Mass sends me a little nudge to update...so here you go Dan!

I got a new bike this year! Suzuki GSXR 750... here she is

We have been out for a couple very short rides, the roads are still way too cold for good grip on the tires, too much sand... and well I am getting old I dont like the cold either!

We are doing a 28 Day Challenge at Paws ... we are on day 8 and I have completed them all so far. VERY proud of myself!

Here is today's...

and others...

Thanks for stopping by! Off to watch a movie with my crew... Yes Man!
