15 seconds of fame....

Today I finally got through on 95 Crave FM to play their famous "Battle of the Sexes" (every weekday morning at 7:45) were guys and girls play against each other with questions relating to the opposite sex. It was tonnes of fun... but, I lost!! It was for $50 cash... oh well, least I knew what a lug nut was! (didn't get those questions on Rambo or the Detroit Red Wings!) haha...

Moved... Mostly!

We got our truck all pack up today and moved everything to our new apartment in Coquitlam (just the 2 of us). 2 hours to load the truck, 2.5 to unload... long day.... very tired!! But its done. The official move in will be this coming weekend! The house in shambles before being loaded into the truck...
Tag wondering what is going on!! Actually, we figure he knows... he is a smart dog! We are going to miss him... and can't wait to get him back once we find a place we can have pets!

Odds & Ends

Tag getting the royal treatment... rather, helping himself to the royal treatment. I found him sleeping on Bryan's pillow when I came back from having a shower in the morning! Best of buds!
Mom and Elliott are in Hawaii for 2 weeks, so I ended up taking Iggy in over here... Tag and Iggy are getting along better than ever... Bryan actually set them up on the same blanket and there were no problems (I laughed when I heard he did this, but it actually worked out!)
A visit with Julie and Cali while checking on things at Mom & Elliott's place... Little Cali got her ears pierced!
Blowing bubbles... well, just more drool...

PS... Mom! Your flower has not bloomed yet... still waiting!

We are moving!

So its official as of yesterday... Bryan and I have found a new place to live in Coquitlam, its brand new, quite small, but perfect. (see the apartment building above) Papers were signed, money was paid! We will miss renting at Dad's in Abbotsford, but it is time for a new adventure! Unfortunately Tag won't be coming with us, but he has a very welcome home at Mom and Elliott's, I am sure he will be happy there until we find/buy a place where we can have him again!

Happy Birthday Sarah & John

Bryan's Brother and Sister (Sarah & John) had their birthday's over the weekend. We didn't get to see Sarah, but we had a nice BBQ at John's place.

Nadia on her way to 30!

I did some pics for Nadia and her car Roxy... after 9 years she is finally moving on to a new jetta!! Way to go! Also, a goal of hers for years now, her tattoo, finally happened as she wanted to do it before 30! It looks great!

Auntie for the 3rd time!

Well I don't normally do this... a blog with no picture! But, Katie and Ian have been giving out the exciting news that they are expecting a baby this coming December 7th! Congratulations to you both!!

Sunday Lunch at Pizza Hut

The plan was to go to Dake Sushi!! Too bad it was closed... oh well... we all had a good time anyhow... pics are self explanitory!

a weekend on Bowen Island

Bryan and I spent the weekend on Bowen Island... Just a small getaway, very relaxing (but definately nothing to do on the island!). We stayed at the Sea Garden Bed & Breakfast, aside from 4x4ing to get to it, the view was just awesome. It was so nice to wake up to a view of the ocean! Bryan on the ferry on the way over to Bowen... it was only 20 minutes across... and we started to notice a wierd little thing, we were surrounded by Subaru's (I think this is all people drive on this island!).
We went on a hike to Dorman Point... it was pretty steep, but didnt take too long to reach the top!
One of the locals took our picture at the top!
Ok ok... I wear all this Lululemon stuff... guess I need to act like I actually do yoga... (I think this is standing tree??!)
Check out the drive up to the B&B! Surprised my car made it to the top (its way steeper than it looks in the video).

Hey! Where's my pic?!

Bryan wondering why he hasn't been posted on my blog lately :)

Special thanks to Katie!

Katie got an awesome job working for Lululemon... sounds like the perfect opportunity for her... and I am thrilled to be the lucky recipient of 2 Remix hoodies (can't believe what a deal Katie got at that auction)! Thanks again Katie, I am still so excited! I love the jackets!

A visit with Cali

Cali is getting big fast! She has started smiling which I got to see for the first time today... Mom, Julie and I were having fun watching all the expressions! (sorry about the blurry pics... used the cell phone camera!)

Cali - Cute eh?

The next morning

Wednesday Feb 20 I went to the hospital before work to check on the new family... everyone was feeling good... Julie had still been up most of the night, but was feeling alright after the long day before. Little Cali has blonde hair and blue eyes! Still looking very much like her daddy.
Auntie Holly and Cali... she is so little!
Auntie Holly & Auntie Katie.... two very happy Aunts... after a long day of sitting and waiting outside the delivery room, we are both very glad to see everything went so well!

Cali Lynn Lehner's Arrival

February 19 at 10:45am I get a call at work from Katie that Julie is in labor and they are heading to the hospital... I drove 130 km/h all the way to get there in time, unfortunately, Julie was having 'back labor' and it was to be a long and painful day. I won't get into the details as its all a happy ending!
Julie and Greg waiting for things to happen (in between contractions)The midwife explaining what is happening... lots to explain!
Welcome little Cali Lynn Lehner! She was born at 9:07pm and weighs 7lbs 12oz
Getting checked out... She sure looks like Greg! (but she has Julie's cheeks and feet!! wait till you see the monkey toes!) Getting weighed in at 7lbs and almost 12 ounces! Little bit of a cone head from the delivery but that has since gone away! Amazing how quickly that happens!

Julie's Baby Shower

This past Saturday Feb 9th from 1-3 was Julie's Babyshower... I am getting good at this hosting thing! We had a great turn out... lots of gifts for the new baby's arrival. As of today, 9 days to go till the due date... at this point, could be anytime!

Mom & Christine observing the spoils from the back of the group...
Emily is always awesome for writing down who the gifts came from!
Time for something to eat! (remember, don't eat the plastic babies on the cupcakes!)
