Highmaintenancemom tagged me and now I'm posting my 4th picture in my 4th folder... I haven't looked to check, so here it is...
This is Jax in his first year of BMX racing with his Darth Vader Helmet!
I like to MAKE CARDS & INVITATIONS
- Inspired by my own children's imaginations, I came up with a way to match their colourful ideas and my love of birthday parties. Creating personalized invitations and birthday themes, we always end up with some great memories and happy children!
I like to PAINT
- I like to pick up a brush, dab it in paint and paint on anything in site from a clean canvas, an old canvas, watercolour paper, scrap wood, walls, closet doors, clothing, etc. Think I've passed the trait down to my kids.
I like to MAKE THINGS
- Sometimes I find things that I love when I am out shopping and other times I have a picture in my head and that's all I'm going to settle for. Most of the time I can make it and it turns out exactly what I picture in my head. It's definitely a trait that I inherited from my parents and I think I've passed it down to my kids
I like to throw CHILDREN's PARTIES
- I love birthday parties. I love to see the kids play and have fun with their friends. Our house ends up being a big mess before, during and after the event but the kids have a great time and it's all worth it.

A New Friend.
This little guy bumped into our livingroom window yesterday morning and had to take a little rest before he could fly home to his mama. But while he was recuperating, Wyatt kept him company and encouraged him to get better. It worked and he flew away about 5 minutes later. But I managed to snap a few of their little conversation.
He started the new job, but I was the one to get the flowers!
John has been around for dinners and weekends for a couple of weeks and it's been great to have him around! He started as an Outside Sales Rep for Duro-test (a lighting company specializing in full spectrum lighting) in early October. It's a big job, he has a new territory for the company and has to open lots of new accounts. It's much more responsibility and basically it's his own business with no overhead. These flowers were from one of his first sales, to a local flower shop (these lights make flowers look awesome and florists love them)! I'm hoping he sells to lots of flower shops so that flowers will always be decorating my house!
Guess Who? Number 2!
Her hair still has to get the black streak and the make up is missing but can you guess who Maya is going to be for Halloween 2008?
Did you guess right?
She's CRUELLA DA VIL! Looking for 101 Dalmations, of course!

Just playing around
Here are acouple more shots of the kids just being themselves. Jax up in a tree, Wyatt basking in the sun and Maya, well she's just being Maya.
Guess who?
He is cuddly, cute and has a little wobble in his walk....
I'm almost done his costume. Ears and tail still to come, but can you guess what he is going to be?
The CUTEST LITTLE HEDGEHOG EVER!
(excuse the yucky nose... he has had a cold for weeks now...
but I thought his cute little smile made up for it)
Autumn Colours
We don't need to go on a tour to see the trees turn colour... we just have to look out our backyard. Check out our little maple tree... it's beautiful. This is my favourite time of year!
Trinkets from Grandma!
Thanksgiving turned out to be a great time to visit family. Grandma just got back from her trek to China and brought back some cool trinkets from her travels.
and then, the kids found the park and had a little play after dinner!
Thanksgiving - at last!
I've been neglecting this blog. It's been a whirlwind the last couple of weeks. Seems time just disappears. But now that I'm at home with Wyatt his week, I make it my mission to finally get my pictures uploaded and order so prints for my photo albums (yes, I still print off my pictures, I love seeing them in albums). So here is just a few photos of our memorable thanksgiving in Sarnia. The weather was beautiful. The company was great and the food was awesome. Thanks to everyone in our family for making yet another memorable holiday for the kids and us!
