Richard's Birthday

Today is Richard's Birthday! I'm not sure what we will be doing tonight to celebrate, other than him opening his gifts from me, maybe we will go out for dinner or watch a movie. If you don't know Rich personally then you wouldn't know that he is a big movie guy (we have the DVD's to prove it!!), and is up to watching anything. Don't tell anyone but on occasion has been known to watch a "chick-flick" or two even without me (hehe, love ya babe).

This Saturday he is spending the day with the "Guys" to celebrate his Birthday, so I will be enjoying my evening alone with him tonight!

Happy Birthday!!! Love you bunches!!

I would have liked to post a pic of just him, but this is all that I have at my office. Which reminds me I better get back to doing work so I can try to leave early!

Weekend Recap

I enjoyed a very busy weekend and am now tired at 8pm on a Sunday, and am thinking of going to sleep early... but not before updating my Blog.

Here is my Weekend Recap...

Friday after I was done at the office Laura and I went to see Jenica's new Condo, LOVE IT!! I know Jenica wouldn't appreciate pictures of the madness of move in day on my Blog, so I will show you a sneak peak of a unit that we purchased for an investment. Her unit is the same layout but in reverse, and just in a different colours scheme.

While still in Surrey I got a phone call from Richard to tell me that he was at our house to for a surprise weekend visit. I was sooo excited to get home to see him, but when I got home that night it was to a very overly excited Chloe (our English Bulldog) that was limping around. I just panic when anything is hurting her, so needless to say I was a little unnerved that night.

Saturday started out with a early morning trip to the Vet. Sure enough the excitement of Daddy coming home and then jumping on and off... on and off... on and off the bed the night before had pulled a muscle in her knee. Solution... medication and a strict enforcement of No Exercise for 1 week. So yes that includes no jumping up to sleep on the bed or couches, no stairs, and no playing tug or catch (an yes I'm getting stronger by the day having to tote all 50 lbs. of her up an down the stairs). Chloe is a pretty good listener, so thus far we are doing pretty good, and she is on the mend.

Brooke & Georgia came out our way for our Cousin Lana's Baby Shower Saturday Afternoon. If you recall she was my 2nd post on my blog, take a look. She is 3 weeks from her Due Date and I can't wait to meet the little guy!! (Sorry no pic right now, will have to come back with those)

That night we had a Laura's early Birthday Celebration over dinner and drinks, oh... and the Canucks game. Here is Laura enjoying some of her new Birthday presents, and Georgia.

Hope you have a wonderful Birthday on Thursday Laura!!!
Love ya, xoxo

Sunday, Mother's Day!
I enjoyed the day with my Mom and Grandma, doing my Mom's planters. Unfortunately Brooke was too sick with the flu to make it out today and missed her very first Mother's Day. I will be sure to catch a 4 Generation picture of everyone the next time we are all together. Oh and in case you didn't know Brooke was named Mother of the Year 2009 This was passes on to us from a friend hehehe. (Sorry Brooke, Smith was the first fake "lastname" I could think of) Check it out and make sure you pass this on to all the special Mothers in your life, here is the link.

Well that about wraps up my weekend, and tomorrow it's back to the grind of another work week. Luckily it's a short one for us, May Long weekend marks the start of Camping Season, so we are leaving on Thursday. And even better were on holidays next week.

Hope everyone enjoyed your Mother's Day, and have a wonderful week! I will be back with some pictures from Camping, and from my weekend away visiting Rich (Sorry I know, really late in posting those).

Jenica's Birthday

Today one of my best and oldest friends Birthdays.

Jenica and I have been friends for 23 years, I hope that doesn't age us, we were really little, really we were. Her and my Sister (Brooke) started playing in our neighborhood and shortly after I come running home to tell on Brooke for going in a "strangers" house. My Mom went running up the road to find Brooke and Jenica eating popcorn. Brooke said it's not a stranger’s house it's Jenica's, yes the same girl she met only minutes before.

I'm sure that this story is going to come up during speeches at Jenica's upcoming Wedding in June. But I'm pretty sure that it won't be me saying it (I'm not much of a public speaker). Brooke and I are sharing the title of Matron's of Honor for Jenica and I'm sure in the up coming weeks I will have more to tell you about her Wedding.

Well today Jenica is turning..... haha you thought I was going to say it didn't you. No I won't do that but you already know how long we have been friends so I'm sure you can kind of figure it out.

Here is a picture of Jenica, modeling the clothes ect. that we got her for her Birthday (previous Birthday).

Wishing you a wonderful day Jenica, Love you!!



I'm leaving my office early today to take Chloe for her Ultrasound, so I will be back with the results later. Puppies or No Puppies.... can't wait to find out.

Happy Birthday!!!

Today is Brookes Birthday, let the celebrating begin!

Were doing lunch with our Girlfriends today and enjoying an evening with friends & family on Friday. This year Brooke has "ordered" nobody to buy her any gifts. Hahaha, I'm pretty sure that no one is listening... I know I'm not! How can you tell someone not to buy you a gift, especially an older Sister! (And by older I only mean 13 months, I'm really not that much older at all ~ I feel better just saying that ~ few!!)

Happy Birthday Brooke!!

Love you, xoxo

December Birthdays

Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays!!! In our family we have ton of Birthdays in December, and it keeps our schedules very busy.

~ David; Cousin

~ Steve; Brother In-Law

~ Derek ; 2nd Cousin

~ My Dad

~ Grant; Cousin

~ Randy; Uncle

(Uncle Randy's is on the same day as Grant's his Son)

~Gary; Uncle

~Larry; Uncle

My Birthday is on the 27th, and last but not least, the most recent addition, Georgia on the 9th of December.

I don't make a big deal out of my birthday, in fact I think that this was my last year of counting. Ha Ha Ha (I only wish!). But normally my Birthday festivities include dinner with family, and a night out with my good friends. A night out for us has changed alot over the years, I couldn't even tell you the last time that I was in a "Club", or had more than 2 drinks in a evening (including this New Years, I had Virgin Punch, any alcohol is few and far between for me), but those were things that we all enjoyed at one time when we were younger.

This year my long long time girl friends (and our Guys) enjoyed dinner, and then a game of Laser Tag. You heard me Laser Tag, we have never done that before, it was good fun. If you haven't tried you should, it's a good laugh and a workout at the same time! In the past we have also gone Go Karting, twice, and Night Bowling with glow in the dark pins and balls.

Here is a picture from my birthday of me and My Girls (Laura, Me, Jenica, Kathy, Brooke and of course Georgia)

Spending time with my Girl Friends is enough of a gift but they also got me wonderful presents... Perfume, Gift Cards, Card making supplies, and Clothes. To top off the evening my wonderful Husband also got me this Diamond Gucci Watch!!

Tomorrow is my Mom's Birthday, so we will be having Dinner this weekend to celebrate both of our Birthdays, and also as a send off to my parents before they leave on Sunday to spend a bit of Winter in Arizona, lucky bums!

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.

(Charmaine; on the right with her Friends, at their Grade 7 Grad a few months back)

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!
