Happy Birthday to this sweet boy!
it is so hard to believe that a whole year has gone by in a blink! I was thinking about that Kenny Chesney song, 'don't blink' the other day.... how true it is, you blink and it is all behind us, just a distant memory...It is word up over at OLW
Gi picked the word this time around and what a great word it is! "JOY"....Make sure you all go and check it out there! Her post is amazing! What brings us JOY? Love that..... SHe has an amazing little video posted as well!
Just wanted to share a few shots from Kade's birthday party on Saturday! We had an awesome day, a barbeque shared with family and friends, loved it..... and the weather was perfect so it really was an awesome day!

Love getting pictures like this of my kids! Even though there are many days of fighting and bickering with each other, i think for the most part they love each other!


this has to be one of my favorite pics! Love it!
and my layout for this time around! Happy Canada day everyone, I'm out....

I feel like I just posted my layout for the last word and here we are again! Whewwwwwwwww life has been hectic.... as I mentioned in my last post it was Sharlas grad last week and it feels like it has been non stop.... time to relax i think! I taught my last class for the season last night at the scrap yard! So fun, great bunch of ladies so if any of you are reading this! Thank you it was awesome! Just wanted to share a few of my fave shots for this week so far!
Shawn and Kade, love this shot! I don't think Kade is too sure what to think but he started warming up to him! so sweet!



I totally blew the focus on this shot but I love it anyways! He is such a little sweetie! Look at those cute little teeth!
Shalaina gets something in her mind and there is no changing it..... she diecided she wnted a guitar so bd she couldn't stand it..... in fact if she didn't get one I am sure she would have died wihout it! lol Manda took her to get it..... she bought it herselff which I thought would be better, then maybe she would take care of it.... she thinks she is a superstar! So cute!

Finally Grad arrived!
feels like these grde 12 students plan their whole 12th grade around grad! Gotta love the excitement! I was so excited for Sharla, watching her with the whole ceremony and planning the event and wht they would be doing and so on! Loved every minute of it! Congrats Shar I LOVE you! Shawn was home for the weekend and as always makes the weekend very exciting! Ver busy and noisy..... and I really love the noise, i don't like it when there isn't noise! (i am talking about 'fun' noise!) Miss him so much when he isn't at home though! Just wanted to share a few of Shars Grad pics..... Her grad date is one of Shawns friends and he has been around our house for a long time!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and remember it is word up on Wednesday!

Charles Dickens said:

"Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some."

I LOVE this quote.... and how true it is, reflecting on our 'present blessings'It is word up at OLW! It is my turn this time and I chose the word 'REFLECT'....
So often lately I feel as though I am reflecting on the past and experiences that haven't been good ones..... Really though what I should be doing is reflecting on my present blessings.... the things that matter right now!
Have a great Wednesday everyone and go over to OLW and check us out!
