Thank you Katie!

Special thank you to Katie for the beautiful home made scarf for my birthday! I am so impressed with how talented she is with her knitting. I will make sure I show everyone how detailed this scarf is as the picture doesn't do it justice! Keep up the great work Katie!

Cupcake Photoshoot

Today I have been having a blast doing cupcake photoshoots for my blog and new Online store (work in progess). I spent most of the day on this and made only 5 completed cupcakes! Haha... oh well, the pictures are worth it. First time I have spent this much time and had nothing to hand out!

Stuck On The Island!

So we are currently stuck on the Island because of the wind and rain storm. I joined Brian on his work trip to Port Alberni on Monday morning and we were supposed to be home tonight. We got to the ferry about 5:45 only to learn there was no 7pm ferry and we had to wait for the 9pm. We got in the line up feeling quite put out by having to wait over 3 hours... only to find out that after waiting almost an hour, ALL ferries are cancelled going to or from the Island tonight. We got refunded and were told tomorrow mornings ferries are weather dependant! Augh!! At least we got a nice room at the Ramada (brand new, King bed and Jacuzzi tub right in the middle of the room).

Wasn't it almost a year ago I got stuck on the Island due to a snow storm when a few of us made the trek over to meet baby Aaron for the first time??
Wish us luck in getting home tomorrow!

Yes! The tree is up!

This is totally my fault! Brian thought I was crazy but I have been staring at Christmas for a month already at work! (Christmas displays were up well before Halloween) So our tree is up, stockings are hung... it beginning to look at lot like Christmas! I mean, I did finish my Christmas shopping for all the 'kids' weeks ago!

I saved these for how many years?

Mom, Julie and Cali came over for a visit on Saturday... Ever since I was a kid I knew I was going to save my "My Little Ponies" for my future nieces. Saturday was the day... I brought out my Nursery with all the ponies closed up inside so I could surprise Cali with them when she arrived. She was so excited and had alot of fun playing with them. It was really fun to see!

This is Cali eating her very own little ice cream cone for the first time... it was kid sized just for her (Montana's gives 3 of these mini ice cream cones for the kids dessert! Mom and I got the other 2!!!)

Happy Halloween Pumpkin Carving

Happy Halloween Everyone!

On Saturday since our basement suite doesn't allow for trick or treating and we are so far from all the kids, I headed out to Abbotsford to make the rounds! After running with Nadia in the park, I stopped by Aaron and Stephanie's to see Lilah and Declan... then I spent time with Tag and then headed over to the Lehner's to help get ready for Halloween along with Mom.

A video of Nana trying to get Cali to touch the pumpkin guts!

Ready for trick or treating?

I got to paint Cali's face for her bunny costume... she did so good in holding still to let me do it, if she didn't rub her hands on her face before it dried it would have been better... but as Julie said, she isn't even 2 yet... she did awesome!
