Whirl Wind Trip

Weddings are a lot of work! I had to take a quick trip down to Abbotsford... this time without Brian as his trip to Winnipeg went long, so I had to take both dogs with me too! When I arrived, it was Elliott's birthday so we had to go celebrate!

And the doggies are all together again... I think they all love being together even though Tag would tell you otherwise sometimes!

I got in a good visit with Sophie and Cali... we did some jumping on the trampoline and got in some sandbox time.

I was super excited to get little Scarlett in her flower girl dress... it looks so cute on her!

Lilah's dress fit perfectly too! Good thing Julie and I ignored Stephanie on the size! Haha.. we got her the next size up and it was the right decision!!

We had another birthday... Aaron turned 31 so I was lucky enough to be invited out with Dad, Jeanie, Aaron and the kids for Mexican!

Nice hat Lilah!

Julie, Mom, Sophie, Cali and I had a big morning yesterday with everything bridal! We did my final fitting of my dress, bought all the jewelry to go with it(thanks Mom!) and then headed off to the mall where I was going to get my hair and makeup trial done! Here is me Cali and Sophie have a breakfast break!

Here is me at my hair and makeup trial... super fun to get all dolled up with no where to go! Cali really enjoyed watching the whole process. I think she is going to end up a lot more girly girl than her daddy would like. It was alot of fun having her there with me!

And this is as far as I will show... you don't get to see the end result till wedding day!

Nadia and I got a bunch of shopping done for napkins, plates, etc and after a discussion with Jeanie and walk around the back yard, we added a bunch more stuff at the rental place... oh boy! Anyone ever say cheap weddings are expensive? Haha... well, that was me... I just did! Ugh!!

Tux & Wedding Band

On Saturday I was finally able to get Brian out to do some of the wedding shopping we needed to do for him. We got his tux rented at Moore's (super happy that we can pick up and drop off any where... makes things easier) and got Ties and Shirts for the guys involved in the wedding...And... after 3 hours at the mall, we bought Brian's wedding band. We have looked before but hadn't found the right ring. The one he chose is just perfect... you will get to see it in just under 3 months now!

Don't forget to RSVP everyone! :)

En Suite Update

After I had filled and painted the walls the first time in the en suite... I realized that I had done a horrible job and ended up having to sand everything down and start all over... Ugh... But! Wait till you see the end result, after another coat of paint, you would never know how bad it really was! These pictures are before the 2nd round of paint...

I love my carpet cleaner!

To Mom, Elliott, Julie, Greg, Cali and Sophie who got me my lovely carpet cleaner for my Wedding Shower....

THANK YOU!!!!

I really don't know what I would do without it now.... I have actually cleaned the carpets 2 times out of wanting to clean them and 2 times out of emergency. About 3 nights ago Kona thew up all over the bedroom floor and I was so thankful to have that carpet cleaner! And then last night... Tag, at almost 4am, had diarrhea on the floor in the bedroom. Ugh... Dogs are now sleeping in the kitchen but, my floors are clean because of my favorite new appliance, the carpet cleaner!

Too many projects

Brian finally has a few days off so yesterday we decided to go out, do some yard saling and then hit home depot to pick up a few things we needed for projects we are working on (En Suite, Ceiling Fan, Kitchen Faucet, etc). We ended up at Canadian Tire and they were selling 4ft cedars that were more like 6ft cedars for only $12 each. We couldn't pass it up! We bought 4 and when we got home realized, realistically we needed 7 more for complete privacy (in a few years after they grow) so we went back and got more! Oh, and I forgot to mention, some where in there we bought a lawnmower. Its amazing how many things you need when you buy a house! After a day of shopping yesterday, we didn't get much accomplished on the house. I am almost done fixing the en suite wall... (after a call to Dad, I realized the errors of my first attempt) and Brian got the lawn mower put together. Let's see where we get today!!

Wedding Invitations & Shower Thank Yous

Ok family, after much anticipation, the wedding invitations are going out in the mail today! Also, my Wedding Shower thank yous as well. Special thank you to my Mom who worked very hard with Brian and I to get everything put together... she also bought us the personalized stamps that I am sure you will notice when you get the invite. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the wedding!! Make sure you RSVP online at the wedding website on the invitation!
