Happy Birthday

Just wanted to wish my Cousin Charmaine a Happy Birthday. Today she is turning 13!! Yesterday we celebrated at her house, and had a great time visiting with Family we haven't see in quite a while.

Also yesterday my friend Kathy's Daughter turned 8 years old. Happy Birthday Mikayla, hope you have a fun time at your Birthday party with your friends tomorrow.

(Mikayla I'm pretty sure that this was going to be our "good", picture but some how I ended up with Bunny Ears? hummm!)

For the longest time, these two were the only young kids, but time is flying and you both are growing up SO FAST!! Love you both!

Camping, Thanksgiving, Vote for Chloe

This weekend was jam packed with busyness. On Friday we went camping at Chilliwack Lake, our camping was cut short, but it wasn't without excitement. The campsite had Halloween in the Park. They had Pumpkin carving, games, Trick-Or-Treating, and a bon-fire planned for the kids. Our friends children had a great had a great time.

I dressed Chloe up in her Flower Costume, if you ask me she was the best dressed Dog. Well there wasn't a Costume Contest, but if there was she would have won. (by default, as nobody else dressed up their Dog's, shhh we just won't tell her that!)

Monday we had Thanksgiving Dinner at Brooke & Theo's House. It was a full house, with great company, and lots delicious food.

Look at my sister's cute baby bump. I hope that when I have 7 weeks to go before popping that I also look this beautiful! You look great Brooke!!




I came across a Pet Costume Contest on Good Housekeeping Website. So I thought it would be fun to enter Chloe's picture. Click on the link below and Vote for Chloe

I know I said I would be back with more about camping… but I’ve been too busy with planning Brooke’s Baby Shower to get my pictures in order. So hopefully I will get that done soon… maybe tonight!!! Be back shortly…

Babies!!

I received a phone call last night from my Cousin Lana (well Cousin In-Law, but who’s counting) to tell me that her and David (my actual Cousin) are expecting a baby!!! I’m so very excited. She lived (up until a couple weeks ago) 3 doors down the road, but right now they are waiting for their new house to be built. They will still be in our neighbourhood, but just on the other side.

Here is a picture of them at their Wedding in July 2006

I’m so happy for you both. Congratulations!!

This year has been a real big year for babies in our family. First my 2nd Cousin Deserae had her Daughter Ava on May 19th. This is a picture of 5 generations, a first for our family.

And on Aug 21st my other Cousin’s Mike & Lucie had their first baby Gregory as well this year. I know you can’t really see his face but boy is he a cutie pie!! He looks just like his Daddy!! Ok well I should be going now, just wanted to do some more baby bragging.

P.S. - I nope nobody kills me for putting up their pictures. But considering they are on Facebook, I figure they are fair game. (Luv ya!! hehehe)

Welcome to my Blog

Where to start.... well I guess with an introduction.
My name is Nadine I’m 27 (and holding might I add),
My Husbands name is Richard, and currently our only baby is our English Bulldog Chloe, but I can’t wait to add some more, babies that is, preferably non-furry ones.

Now that I'm talking about babies, my Sister Brooke and her Husband Theo are expecting their first child in 8 weeks. Our whole family is of course very excited, and can't wait for Georgia to be here.

(Brooke I hope you don't mind you being talked about in my Blog, but get use to it. We spend enough time together that you are going to mentioned alot. Hahaha)

Well that about wraps up my first blog. Tomorrow is Friday, and we are going camping for our Thanksgiving Long Weekend. So more about that when I return.
