Superbowl Sunday

Mike and I had some friends over for the much hyped Superbowl game. I made lots of food, Nachos, homemade Pizza and two types of wings...and for the first 3 quarters that was the highlight of the game. The fourth quarter got better but that was when Tyler decided to get restless and wanted to play....a few of our friends indulged him!!

Oh and Tyler (and Mike and I) made a new friend Jim!!

Flu bug got us all...well almost!

Well two weekends the flu bug ripped through our house and got everyone except Mike! How he managed not to get the most awful stomach flu I have ever had is beyond me! Tyler got it first, then me then Jacqui!! Here are a bunch of pictures of Tyler right at the beginning of the flu, during and after....

Jacqui and Tyler right when he first got sick

Tyler and Mike snuggling the night after Tyler had been sick.....

Tyler on Papa...he is starting to feel better now.....

Tyler is feeling totally better so Mike is out playing ball with Tyler, because now Jacqui and I are sick!!

Charmed

Tyler (well really Mike!) got me Charmed Season 1 for Christmas and I have been watching it like mad! I love this show, and used to watch it on TV when they actually showed it here in Canada!! I am basically almost through the 1st season and now can't wait to get to Season 2!!

Tyler loves babies...

Tyler loves babies! He actually keeps asking for a baby brother or sister, and we keep telling him that isn't happening!! Well this is a picture of Tyler holding our neighbors grandbaby "Alex"! Tyler was in his glory!!

Kids say the cutest things.....

So the other night Tyler says to me "Mommy when I get older I am going to marry you and live with you forever!" My first thought was "Awww that is soo cute" my second thought was "NO WAY IN HELL!!" haha!! He is too cute sometimes!!!

Deer...lots of Deer!!

We often get deer in our yard, actually, if I go a whole week and don't see a deer it is an odd week. When we first moved in to this house, the deer drove me nuts as I am not a gardner at all but was trying to be and spending time out the in yard gardening only for the deer to come along and eat everything. So, I've pulled out all the flower beds and now I love seeing the deer. This picture is of a very young deer actually walking up to me! I was only about 3 feet from this deer, standing in my front door and my camera was fully zoomed out! I sure wish Tyler had of been home!!

A person who hates having her picture taken....

As Mike can confirm, I HATE having my picture taken. Actually I loathe it! My favorite place to be when pictures are being taken is behind the camera, which is why there are not a lot of pictures of me!! Until recently my thoughts have been there is nothing good about having my picture taken. Well this week I have been to, two memorial services for people I know, and it has become very apparent to me that having your picture taken is one of those gifts that you give to people! Its not necessarily something you do for yourself but something you do so that others can enjoy pictures of you!

So, I've made a promise to myself that 2008 will be the year that I start having more pictures taken of me. Well, that is as long as my hair and make up are done then the pictures can be taken!! :-)

Count Down to Mexico!!

Tyler, Mike and I are going to Mexico on February 9th and staying until the 23rd, let me tell you I absolutely can't wait. Two weeks of, sun, sand and Corona's it doesn't get any better than that!!

Christmas 2007

Wow I never seem to get time to get on here and blog, hopefully I will get better!

I just wanted to post a few quick pictures of our christmas!! Here is our tree Christmas morning, Tyler was very excited to see that Santa had been!!

Tyler and Jacqui with their stockings!!

All in all a good Christmas was had by all!!

Chop Stick and a Little Boy

Everyone is always asking me for stories of funny things that Tyler does. So I thought this one would make a perfect post!! You always hear of what little kids put into places that they aren't supposed to, well tonight, Tyler decided he was going to shove a chop stick up his nose! After we made sure there was no damage and that he hadn't seriously hurt himself, and were trying to calm Tyler down, we all did have a little giggle as there was quite a funny side to the whole thing! Sooo there you have it....my story of a chop stick and a little boy!!

Goldstream Park

On Sunday, (Nov 4th) it was the first morning after day light savings and all the clocks fell back 1 hour. What this meant for us, was a little person coming in and waking Mommy and Daddy up at the crack of dawn. So we got a very early start on things, by going and having breakfast and then we went to Goldstream Park where every year at this time there are salmon spawning - it is quite the sight to see and kids love it!! http://www.goldstreampark.com/salmon.htm Tyler really enjoyed going and seeing the salmon and even more loves going into the nature hut!!


We had a great time but by the end of the day all I have to say is........Damn I hate day light savings!!

Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun with Tyler this year. He received a TON of candy, I really think it was because instead of just saying the stand "Trick or Treat" he was saying "Happy Trick or Treat" and everyone thought that was cute and let him take extra's!

My First Blog Experience.....

Well I've found that I am always telling the same stories over and over about our family, and emailing the same pictures again and again. So I decided a blog would be the easiest and best way to get around that. So coming soon will be a post with Tyler in his Halloween costume!
