Cold Lake and other things!

We went to cold lake for Sunday Monday and Tuesday! Spent some time with Grandma and Grandpa Law! They are always so much fun to visit! Grandma took our newest family picture and I am pretty sure she is better than me!! ha ha! I also took some pictures of my friend Rebecca and her family in cold lake. If you want to look at those you can go to my Photography site...that's right I finally started a site just for my photography. (on the right hand side under my photography site!) I am way excited about Lisa Hunter or as some people know her Mcdermid's photo shoot on Friday! It is in Edmonton and should be a blast you can look for those on the photography site as well!!
Here a few pics of the cold lake trip.

Tana's words

She doesn't say a lot, but boy is she opinionated!

Out with the old....

Have you ever heard you don't know what you've got until its gone?



Well It usually refers to you taking that particular thing or someone for granted...Today however that definitely was not the case in fact I was giving WAY to much credit for this particular thing. Okay enough of that your wondering what it is that I am talking about? Well it is my vacuum. After what I thought was 6 beautiful years of successful suction was all a ploy. It finally broke...I mean really broke, Way beyond repair. So I was then on for a search for a new one in a desperate attempt to replace what I thought was the best vacuum. So after hours of web surfing looking for the best deal for the best possible vacuum I found it. It Blew my mind(or should I say sucked my mind!)This thing was amazing I had just vacuumed my living room and dinning room with the old vacuum and thought it looked good. Then I did just the living room again with the new vacuum and this is what I got out of the canister...I am not sure how to feel...disgusted or happy, but one things for sure I feel betrayed by my old vacuum!











Picture this Molly Mormon and Peter priesthood dancing in the soft glow of our Eco friendly halogens, With both Little boy and girl in bed for the night, they enjoy the house to themselves as they listen to some music and move back and forth to the beat of the pressure Canner?!!? lol. Yup Lindsay and I stayed up and did some canning the other night with our previously ordered Organic peaches from Lindsay's home land in the Okanagin. They look SO Delicious. I can't wait to try them! 12 Jars in total and today I am making peach freezer Jam! yum!!
Oh and for those of you who are wondering what I paid for the swing set..... $10...Yup that's it!

Sleepytime Bear Nightgown GIVEAWAY !!!!!!!

This is probably the cutest nightgown ever! Love it and I want to make one for Tana...that is if I don't win!! lol

Quiet Time

Well, Good news, I finally started my day home and with a lot of dragging my feet on my part, (mostly cause I want to JUST stay at home with my own kids and do what ever I want.....Okay I wanted to be lazy) It is actually going great!! I actually like it! lol. I know The Lord has helped with that cause This is definitely not what I want to do in life but I am enjoying it. I think mostly I just needed some direction in life. I was feeling like my life was in a bit of a limbo mode and couldn't snap out of it. I am quite glad this is here and the little boy I watch is such a treat. He fits the household quite well and I know that he and Layton will get a long well, as their personalities are complimentary.

Things seem to be falling into place now and I am glad that they are. Oh and I have a photo shoot with the hunter family soon, so I am way excited about that. I will definitely keep you posted! I don't get paid for this one but it will be great practice.

Tana is getting weened off of the soother right now too so that is a bit interesting....lol. I am trying to stay positive, we'll see how long it lasts.

Well I actually get to write you because all 3 children were sleeping...did you catch that...were..well I have to go now, the little tornado queen herself has awakened.

Later Days to you.
