Hot Hot Hot

OK...now really! 32 degrees at 6pm is a little more than we are used to around here. I'm not entirely complaining but WOW...It was cooling down enough to enjoy my son's baseball game and take some pictures of course, even if it was rather dusty out there...the boys certainly don't let the heat or dust bother them.

Looks like their winning streak will get them one of the top spots in the playoffs...then it all starts again for Summer Ball! We can take a break in August for a couple weeks before Hockey tryouts begin! Yikes :) What ever would we do if we weren't so busy with our kids... 

The Great Outdoors

Well this was the second day outside to the great green world! The puppies were quite hesitant and Mamma was a little nervous with them outside. We kept a close eye on them and were never more than a hands reach from them...don't want them to get scooped up with all the eagles and hawks hovering around our neighbourhood!

Marissa's Confirmation

What a beautiful day Saturday was for Marissa's Confirmation and following party. All our family and most of our friends were able to attend and Marissa had a wonderful day! Special thanks to Tania and Rob for cooking the dinner. I am forever grateful for all the wonderful friends we have and was so glad to have been able to share this day with them.

Puppy update

My adorable litter...well two...of Yorkies were born 13 days ago and they have yet to open their eyes...hopefully tomorrow or the next day. The little wee lad, Wylie (the coyote) has sucessfully gained just over 12 ozs. since birth and is now a whopping one pound, three quarter ozs! The adorable petit lass, Lucy, is growing steady and weighed in at 12.5 ozs. this morning...slow and steady my girl is. It has been very difficult to refrain from "oooh look at the cutie wootie little baby" talk...try as I might. My kids are giving me a hard time with the baby-talk, they are constantly reminding me that I love Chloe, the Mamma, and her pups more than I love them! Honestly! I just love them differently... :)

Track and Field

It's funny, looking back, Track and Field and Science Fair are where it all started for me in my Scrapbooking journey to today. Here we are at Matthew's last Elementary School event. I was so proud of how well he did in his events...bringing home first place in his 100M dash, hurdles and his school's co-ed Relay! Well done son...now to get them scrapped!

Close To My Heart Consultant

Well after 4 years and owning half the catalog, I've decided to join the Close to My Heart Team of consultants. I am going to explore the world of teaching and sharing some of the tricks and techniques I've discovered over the past few years. I have hopes to figure out this Blogger thing and get some of my scrapbook pages up for others to view! Wish me luck!

What's All This?

Well, it's one of those things...you resist for a while and then you say, why not! I figure I'll us this venue to explore the unknown world of the blogger...who knows where this will take me. Maybe nowhere or perhaps somewhere special!
