Through My Eyes Friday!

My post is up on the memes page!
Have a great weekend..

Gaggle of Geese!

Did you know Geese traveled in herds?
Who Knew?
(at least that is what it looked like)
a huge herd of cattle...
probably close to 100 or more goslings..
It was crazy...
I apologize for the quality of these pics
but they were done on a cell phone...

More Mosaic..

Gracie enjoying the music at the Irish Pavillion...

Coffee from the Ethiopian Pavillion..
The MC said you would dream about this stuff if you drank it..
Well..I didn't dream about it, but it was good...
and I loved the quaint little cup...

This dude did some really funky stuff...
He never quits moving..



If you want to see this guy eat fire...
(or put it down his pants..)
or have people stand on him ontop of a bed of nails...

Philippine Pavillion

Our favorite part of Mosaic is trying out foods we haven't had before
This is what we had for dinner at the Philipino Pavillion...
It was SOOOO good...
The white round things are Siopao..
They are a sweet bun, with pork or chicken inside..
We also had Inihaw na baboy (pork barbeque
Pancit
egg rolls
and Kanin (sticky rice)

We tried the custard cake for dessert..it was also really good.

Afterwards we watched a fashion show
where the ladies..
(and one gentleman)
showed off some traditional costumes.

This was the grand finale...
a wedding dress..

I really wish the lighting had been better,
because these pictures really don't do justice to the outfits..

Time gos by so fast...

I can't believe time is flying by like it is...
It seems like just yesterday we made the decision to have Jeremy,
and he is already two and his sister is 7 months...
WOW!

Jeremy is so grown up now...
He no longer looks like a baby,
although he is small for his age...

He says hilarious stuff...
he has a great sense of humor...
He LOVES space rockets.
Everything is a space rocket...
even his puppy, and he flies them all
in the outer space of his imagination.



He says "I wuv you mommy" so much i think it is his main phrase..
I feel so blessed by this,
because I know there is a day where he won't do this so much anymore.
We read a story every night, and when we are done..

he YELLS "BIBLE mommy...BIBLE...
and he always asks for amen. (prayer.)
We pray an easy prayer that he can say right now.
"God bless Mommy and Daddy,
Gracie
Brandy, Bree, Krystal and Steve,
Talon and Cassidy,
and Grandma and Grandpas..
help me be a good boy,
give me good dreams,
Put angels around my bed...
Amen."


He loves chicken noodle soup, and fresh buns...and cheese...
He will nap, but only if I lay down with him till he falls asleep...
He LOVES the beach...LOVES it..
He is tough for such a little guy..
Never cries when he falls down...
If he cries..you KNOW there is a problem..
He is very shy....
He LOVES his little sister...
to the point of suffocation...
Good thing she reciprocates...LOL
It is nothing to find them holding hands,
or hugging..
or Jeremy giving her sloppy little boy kisses...
He is a great kid...I couldn't have asked for a better son.

Gracie is such a wonderful blessing..
She reminds me oddly of all my other children...
She is super laid back like Brandy was...
(Fortunately she isn't chewing on her bed yet...)
She looks a lot like Bree did,
except of course she is blonde and blue eyed,
and like Bree she has a way of wiggling past the defenses of people..
even those who don't like kids...
and she has Krystal's psycho sense of humor...
and she is a cuddler like her brother....
but she is also profoundly herself.
She makes me smile just to look at her..
and we catch ourselves just staring at her for ages..
She is determined. Curious.
She wouldn't nurse properly, cause there was just
too much to see and do.
Even bottle feeding her is a royal pain..LOL!
She can't even crawl yet,



but she is constantly wiggling off my lap to get to
some point of interest.
She loves her show..Super Why...
It must be a girl thing.
She likes Princess Pea...
She laughs easily....

Wow! How was I ever blessed again with two such great kids!
Time is going by too fast...

Philippine Maharlika Dance Group of Regina

This was a really cool dance...probably the coolest we saw...Unfortunately, I can't tell you what any of them were called...so if you know anything about the history of the dances...please fill us in!

Well...Off we go for a day of Mosaic again...We have Jeremy with us for several hours today...
that shou ld be a challenge...
but grandma and grandpa will be there too, so it should be ok...
Have a great weekend!

Mosaic 2009

It's that time of year again..

Mosaic..
This year there were 19 pavillions,
which actually seems less then normal...
and it didn't seem as busy...
which suited me just fine..
...better parking.
Kendal and I decided this year
that we were not going to all the pavillions,
It is just easier with Gracie, if we take our time,
and hang out longer at them.

Tonight we went to the
Fillipa-Phillipino Pavillion, the Greek Pavillion,
and the Ukraine Pavillion.
We enjoyed the performances at all of them,
but found that there was just too much drinking at
the Greek Pavillion. All I could smell in there was alchol.

The Phillipino Pavillion was our favorite tonight.
That is where we ate supper.



We had “inihaw na karne” (pork barbeque),
“lumpia mini egg roll”, crispy egg rolls,
and “pancit” Philippine noodles
This was a combo plate for 9 dollars..
and the buns which are Sopao (I think)
and filled with pork....
(they were sepparate...)
What ever they were...
They were yummy.



We were also treated to some extra ordinary performances by the
Philippine Maharlika Dance Group of Regina
We have gone here for several years,
and I think this was one of their best.

They also offered a number of crafts,
clothing, and jewelry at great prices...
If you get a chance...go check them out...
It was well worth it.
