The Year in Review...August...

By the time I finish reviewing the year....it will be 2009! LOL! I should have started this before Christmas....

August was actually a pretty busy month...We spent quite a bit of time with our grandson this month, as we had actually received word we would be able to move into another house on the NW of Regina, and we knew that we couldn't have Talon over while we were packing.....Just to dangerous for a VERY ACTIVE little guy on the move...

We also spent quite a bit of time at the lake, as it was a VERY VERY hot summer....we don't have air conditioning in this house, but thank God we did in that one...I don't know what we will do this year....

It was also Jeremy's first time in the water...and he did very well....we didn't keep him in long though...he is so fair skinned we didn't want him to burn.

Jeremy's first Buffalo Days Parade....

Bree She likes the armed forces... (if you know what i mean....)



Jeremy had fun...

August 10th - our 11th wedding anniversary...
at least this year, we got a nice dinner.....

More tomorrow....

Bad Blogger Girl...

2 days in a row of not a good post...I promise, I will be a good little blogger girl and post something decent tomorrow.....

For today though....we got our new computer, and although we do have files to transfer off of our old one....It is amazing to have a silent computer that doesn't sound like a lawnmower.....

Other then that it was also my only day to get my downtown stuff done...and I also visited with my friend Brenda for a while, since it will be my last weekday in a long time with no daycare kids...I had three calls today from moms looking for daycare.....I cleaned my house.

Jeremy was in a really good mood today...but spent half of his time visiting aunty Brenda and Mercy Buckets by trying to bite their feet?!? I will be glad when he quits trying out his new teeth on everything....including me when I am nursing. He will be starting weaning this week....I am NOT a chew toy...
He turns one on Thursday.....:(

Odds and Ends...

Being Sunday...I am going to skip the Year in Review post for this morning...(I am supposed to be getting ready for church now...I am on Worship team and have to be there early....) but I am part of Blog 365...so I will make a quick post...

We are getting a new computer hopefully tomorrow......Ours sounds like a lawnmower....(I think the fan is broken....) It is time anyways...we use this one enough that it is worth it...it is my main form of communication...(I hate the phone...) It is our Christmas Gift to one another this year...

We watched I am Legend last night with some friends of ours (Shawna and Jason) I still haven't decided what I think of the movie....it was interesting...in a zombie eating brains sort of way....What did you all think of it?? (It must have been creatures coming out in the dark and eating people night...cause after we finished that movie...there was some other movie on TV about creatures on some planet coming out after dark and trying to eat people....

Sleep is becoming a luxury. My poor little man was stuffed up last night..woke up at 4am...and couldn't sleep restfully....so neither did I. At 6am..I finally gave up and went and laid down with him on the couch...Now he is sleeping...and obviously...I am not....LOL!

Right now...I am drinking Sugar Bush Maple Coffee...It is heavenly...We got it from Timothy's on Scarth.....and now...while my son is still sleeping...I suppose I should get my act together and get ready for church....

Have a good day everyone!

The Year in Review -July

July was a pretty quiet month for us for several reasons...first of all...July is a really busy month at work for my husband, as some of the other guys at his job go on holidays, and he ends up covering their weekends so he can take his holidays in August....but we also haven't really had the money for one reason or another to take any kind of vacation since we moved here from BC five years ago... :( Also...I have chronic problems with my ears and have for about ten years now...it was mostly better until this summer when I got sick with some virus, and I was so dizzy for 10 days that every time I tried to get off of the couch, I would be sick to my stomach....my ears hurt, and then on July 27 after my second round of antibiotics...my left ear started ringing, and still rings to this day. Sometimes it is a high pitched squeal and other times it is a dull roar...but it never gos away......Has anyone else had this condition?? I believe it is called tinitus...I am afraid I may have to live with it for the rest of my life....
However....we did have fun on Canada day...we went to the community celebration at our local Wascana park...We usually do...and I really enjoy it..

These slide show was taken in the evening during the fireworks show at the lake...

Shawna with Jeremy

During the day they all kinds of free entertainment for the whole family...It was a good time! It was also a very hot day....

June 2007

June! We made it half way through the year! Jeremy was now 5 months old,and weighed in around 14 lbs....he was still wearing 3 month old and new born clothes, and he was only in the 10th percentile of growth, but he was healthy and active. He started on his first solid foods this month, but it didn't go so well, as all he wanted to do (and still wants to do) is nurse...

Mr. Talon Balon was 7 months old....and getting bigger and bigger...nothing wrong with his appetite....LOL! However, we were concerned about him as he had been congested
since he was about 3 months old...We were unable to find out what was wrong..and doctors just kept giving him more and more antibiotics...Finally we did find a doctor who sent him to a pediatrician, and we were able to find out that he actually had asthma...a relief, because at least he could now be treated....

In June we also took some time as a family to do some of the fun stuff we like to do in June...Every year, we have something we go to called Mosaic...It is a blast...and relatively cheap....It is a multi-cultural event. They have sometimes upwards of 30 different pavillions from all different cultures, and each pavillion trys to show you what their culture is like through food, music, dance and craft....It lasts for three days, although Kendal and I usually only go for one or two depending on how we feel...This year, we brought Brandy (and her "friend") and Bree one day and then the other day Kendal, Jeremy and I went with our friends Brenda and Jason, and their daughter Mercy....I thought Jeremy was going to stress out, but he was really good, and seemed fascinated by all the music and sounds....

We also took the girls to Moosejaw which is about 45 min. away one day in June last year...We had lots of fun...there was some kind of street festival going on, so we hung out there for a good portion of the day...and then we went for a river boat tour in the evening(which took about an hour) Captain Jack always makes it interesting..and figured out Bree was nervous in a boat, and kept making it rock...hehehe
and then we went out to supper.

Not a bad start to the summer...

Edition one!

Today's Thursday Thirteen will be about the New Year's Resolutions I would make...if I made New Years Resolutions....which I don't....but I guess if I am writing them..I am kind of making them too aren't I?...now ... if you have made it through that muddle....

1. SPEND MORE TIME WITH GOD...more time reading my Bible and praying....I miss the amount of time I used to spend in God's word....

2. SPEND MORE TIME WITH MY TEENS...they are teens and don't REALLY want to hang out with me...but we only have Brandy a max. of another 7months..and Bree is 15...so they can just suck it up and hang out with the old lady....LOL!

3. Have some me time with Kendal before we are expecting the next baby. We haven't had any since Jeremy arrived on the scene....of course.....Kendal and I spending time together could end up with Jeremy having a sister sooner then we want.....

4. Play Guitar much more then I have the last two years...I am missing my music.

5. Sing more often. Something I haven't done quite as much the last couple of years....

6. Get back into painting. I have a whole series in my head...

7. Lose about 70 lbs....:) Yeah...I am sure that one will happen.....

8. Try to post a blog a day for a year....

9. Get my photographs taken care of....we have tons...and they are EVERYWHERE and need to be put in books, or on walls or sent to people...ect.....

10. Excercise....nuff said.

11. Keep my house cleaner? Yeah...right....put that one in behind lose 70 lbs.....

12. Finnish writing my kids book....Kendal keeps bugging me...but a girl only has so much time after all that excercising and keeping the house clean.....

13. AND big final thirteen...ok...has to be good....hmmmm....keep my house clean..
