Happy Canada Day, Eh?

Tomorrow I will be up north.
In four days I will be fishing here.
WALLEYE!

In the meantime, I leave you with a little of Gord's Gold.

Beach Weekend 2009

Its almost like an annual trip now! First 2008... now 2009! Same condo, but more space. We decided the boys don't drool, so they were invited along.



Ah, what a relaxing weekend! The sun, surf, sand, and friends... Can't wait for June 2010.

Favorite Things Swap!

Do you like getting stuff in the mail? Aren't presents fun?

If you think so too... join the Favorite Things Swap!

The gist:
You get a swap partner.
You pick out three items of your favorite things and send them to your partner!
The items can be crafted or store bought.
You get three items back from a someone else!



If you've never done a swap before, I highly recommend it! Its always so fun.

Facesbook

Are you one of those couples who are joined at the hip? Can you not have your own facebook page?

Good news! We now have facesbook.

Girls Rock

Another baby shower!

A couple of weeks ago, I co-hosted a baby shower for our friend Debbie.





This party's theme:

Let's Potty Like Rock Stars!






I crafted all sorts of things. From the invitations, diaper cake, baby onesies, and earrings that were thank you gifts for the guests. Plus, I made her one of my infamous baby blankets and a Spongebob Squarepants onesie!



One of the games we played was "Name that baby". I asked all guests to bring a baby or kid photo of themselves for the party. To help guests from forgetting their photo, I suggested they email the picture to me and I printed them out myself. A few guests, including the mom-to-be, did that and it worked out great!



For dessert we had adorable baby cookies made by the dad-to-be's aunt! And since the mom-to-be is a huge Dairy Queen fan, we got her a Dairy Queen ice cream cake.

It was such a fun party! Good times with friends and family.

Chauncey playing with a tennis ball

Cuteness Overload

Today I got a puppy.



He is a nine week old golden retriever. He's already lived up to his breed! During his second excursion in the backyard, he found a rotting bird carcass. Yeah, a present!

We might call him 'Chauncey'.
