Okay okay okay!

Well, it's been a couple of weeks since my last blog. Sorry, but that's just the way it goes with 2 little ones. The weather has finally warmed up in Edmonton here and we then to spend a good chunk of the day outdoors. I love being outside. We are getting ready to totally re-do our landscaping. Sure wish my brother-in-law lived closer!!! Anyway, unfortunately our yard is infested with good old Canadian Thistle. I have never seen such a nasty weed in my life. So this weekend we are stripping the sod, killing the thistle and roto-tilling the earth. Hopefully we will be able to have it smoothed and leveled and then next weekend we can be laying new sod, planting trees etc. I'm sooo excited to have it done. We have worked our butts off the last 3 yrs reno-ing the inside of the house, it's time to do something on the outside. I'll post photos of the project as it happens.

Happy Anniversary To Us

Today is our 4 yr anniversary. Hard to beleive that so much has happened in the last few years. I remember being younger and having everyone older tell me to enjoy the moment as time just passes too quickly. Well I must be "older" now as I now realize just how fast it does go by. Kevin and I have shared 4 yrs of married bliss...well not always bliss, but a true and deep love and happiness together. We have 2 beautiful little girls that just won't stop growing no matter what I do! We have a beautiful home and wonderful lives together. We pinch ourselves almost daily realizing just how blessed we are. My goal in life is to NEVER take my family for granted. That includes my immediate family as well as my extended family. So if you are reading this, please know that you are loved deeply.

Listening to Thunder

There are just some things that you can't bottle and store forever such as a good thunder storm. I am sitting here at my computer listening to the incredible thunder storm that we are having. Both the girls are napping (yay!) and I finally have some time to myself. Maybe I should go do laundry or clean a bathroom? Nah, what's the fun in that. Kevin's mom and dad just returned from a wonderful vacation and we were just over to see them. It's so nice to see how my girls are with their grandparents. Makes me wish that our whole family lived closer together.

The Zoo

Okay, I'm not sure how to post photos and words beside it. Any tips? Anway, this is Amelia having fun at the park.
This is Lucy the Elephant here in Edmonton. Yes she is painting.

This is my laundry room that Kevin just finished this weekend. Are we ever going to have a weekend without a project?
My laundry sink. Desperately needed!

The month of May

May was a very busy month for us. Amelia turned 1 on May 15th....how did that happen? She started to walk the day after her birthday and hasn't turned back since. We also had Grandma Ruth come and stay with us for 2 weeks. We had so much fun. Everyday we were out and about doing something. The last few days have been a little boring without my partner in crime to go out with. Here are a few photos of our visit and Amelia's party.

Just starting

Okay, I have been hounded enough! I will finally start a blog. I can't promise daily updates, but I'm hoping to manage weekly ones. I see how cute my sisters blog is and love the idea of family and friends being able to catch up on a more frequent basis.
Hmmm, now what? Well let me figure this out a bit more and will post again later.
