PEI POTATOES !!!!

YEE HAW .... Thank You Sobeys....

Okay, so that was a big find today....it's kinda funny how when you live away from home for a while it's the little things that make you miss home more.

I was os excited when i saw these in the grocery store today !!! Made me miss home a tonne though....i mean we always have PEI Mussels and good ole ADL cheese....but PEI Potatoes really bring me home....I grew up on a Potatoe farm !!!

So i have been a bad bad blogger...MIA !!!

I went to Edmonton on Friday and never came home till Monday afternoon...we had a great visit with the Shea's...and Angela too !!!

Spent 8 hours at West Ed shopping on saturday, we had lunch at Jungle Jims, we were very tired by the end of the day...

Sunday we toured around Edmonton, hit up Costco....

The roads were great....Makenna and i made a stop into Pizza Delight on Monday for lunch and to pick up a treat for Daddy & Uncle Scott...

This week flew by.....I find it hard to believe it is already Friday...Sheesh !!!

Pretty quiet week around here, lots of time on FACEBOOK.....

The OC ended forever last night and i am still mourning the loss of that...Greys was absolutly freaking amazing...thanks for not killing Meredith...

Proud Parents Kyla & Jason

Introducing Baby Ryder !!!

Mommy's Heart

You little one are mommy's heart
I knew it right from the start
the way you hold my finger tight,
when we're alone late at night.

When I cradle you in my arms
you smile and show all your charms.
Then you drift off to sleep
sometimes I can’t help but weep,

how lucky I have become
to actually be the chosen one.
To have and hold a child like you
now life seems to good to be true.

So I look up at the sky so blue
and thank the heavens for giving me you!

Okay.........

Her water has broke....she is being induced....not really feeling strong contractions yet...but the monitor is detecting them....

She is at the hospital....with Jason & her mom...and she will be there tonight and untill baby MO decides to arrive....

It's a waiting game now....

"A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities."

We are currently awaiting the arrival of BABY MO !!!

Kyla is in Labor as I type....

YUCK !!!

So my darlin daughter woke up on Saturday night sick, sick, sick....she could'nt keep anything down...I ma sure you all get the idea.....loads and loads of laundry later...

I felt ill all day yesterday and my energy was like a zero...same thing today....

Makenna seems to be on the mend and is keeping things down so thats a plus...

Short and sweet today...

Okay so seeing how it's almost Valentines Day....I thought i'd post my most favourite poem ever...Enjoy !!!

i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Cards...

A SIMPLE BIRTHDAY CARD WILL MAKE A WISH COME TRUE !!!

As a rule, I don't cry easily....(NOT), but anything to do with children and tragedy will get me going. This evening I saw a news story that did just that. It struck me again how easy it easy it is to help a stranger, if only we'd try.

Shane Bernier is a 7 year old cancer patient at Lancaster hospital and he has a wish. Although he's lost all of his hair, Shane's bright smile and cheery personality have made him a hit with the staff. In spite of all he's experienced & everything he's yet to face, his wish is the kind only a sweet innocent would think of.

For his 8th birthday, Shane would like to break a record; simply to become the person who has received the most birthday cards.That's it. And it humbles me beyond belief.

My card is on the way. If you'd like to help Shane's birthday wish come true, please send him a card at:

Outrider Steakhouse

January Here & Gone....

Gosh...i think Facebook is really cutting into my blogging time....

So we had another pretty quiet week around here....I did a lot of baking and cleaned my house from top to bottom...

Jacqueline came out on Friday from PEI and she is here till Tuesday, so we have been enjoying her visit...

I spent most of the weekend grocery shopping and touring around with her showing her Cold Lake and all the sights....

Jordan picked her up at the airport on Friday and he stopped in Fort Saskatchewan at Pizza Delight and grabbed us some of our favourite treats (Bacon & cheese Garlic Fingers & a Donair Pizza)....YUMMY !!!

We went out for a nice supper on saturday night at the Outrider Steakhouse....it was yummy....I am convinced they have the best drinks in Cold Lake.....

I was also suspossed to og out with the girls on Saturday night...I came home changed out of my dinner clothes and got dressed to go to the bar... I even got the blender out ot make some drinks.... then it hit me...i sat down on the edge of my bed and felt a wave of tiredness....It was pathetic, i lost my energy....It was crazy....I called the girls and gracefully bowed out...

I changed yet again in to my Pj's and crawled in to bed and watched a movie, Material Girls....it was cute.....we aslo have Jackass 2 & The Giridon Gang to still watch....

Thats pretty much it in a nutshell....i think i am gonna repeat last nights preformance and crawl into bed with another movie...

I hope everyone had a good weekend.....

What A Week...

Gosh we sure were hit last wek with a lot of things going wrong....

Charly is still adjusting ot life without Oreo, i am playing with her as much as i can and she seems to be finding a new spot to sleep between my legs in the bed each night...LOL...silly dog.

Smokey came home on Thursady night, we were sitting down to eat supper and Makenna yelled out kitty, kitty....and there he was at the patio door crying to get in...he was so dirty, he had to hit the tub right away....really just glad to have him back.

Pretty quiet weekend, not really feeling 100%, maybe I am lacking vitamin D...who knows....just really lazy and uber tired theses days...

NO MELSHA I AM NOT PREGNANT !!!

Didn't do much friday night...and spent saturday night up till 1 am on the phone with Melsh...LOL......sunday was a write off...

Today was pretty quiet around here too, i made Quiche Lorraine for supper with a cesar salad....and watched What About Brian....now i am off to bed...

Thanks for all the emails and calls about Oreo, it was really appreciated. I will really miss my little furbaby...god love her...Thanks everyone...

xoxoxo

This is for me & Lisa....LOL....US HENS !!!

MIA

Well....I don't even know where to begin with this one....so here goes.....on Tuesday Jan 16, in the afternoon we all were outside playing, somehow out cat Smokey got out too....notthat unusual as he is always getting out and running round the yard.....

I called him and called him on tuesady but he never came back, his normal procedure is to sit by the patio door in the dining room and meow till i let him in....so i kept checking and checking and checking....No Smokey....

Our neighbors do have a large reanch and the breed horses and heve lots of cats in the barns...so i thought maybe he might be over there, he has gone there before, but he never seems to be away for any length of time more than a few hours....

I drove around yesterday looking for him...........no cat....

Now today still no cat.....0.this is very uncharacteristic of him or his behaviour. He is the kind of cat that eats like a pig and needs constant affection from humans, he likes nothing more than to sit at the side of the tub while we bathe and sleeps under the blankets of our bed....with us....

So coming this afternoon it will be 2 days since i've seen him and i am extreamly worried....i am having all kinds of thoughts.....what if he got hurt ???.....what if he got in a fight???.....what if it was him that Oreo was chasing yesterday morning???......

I am left with no answers only worry..........My head is aching..............I think it's worse not knowing where he is than knowing his fate......

Treasured Friend

I lost a treasured friend today,

the little dog who used to lay

her gentle head upon my knee

and share her silent thoughts with me.

She'll come no longer to my call,

retrieve no more her favorite ball.

A voice far greater than my own

has called her to His golden throne.

And though my eyes are filled with tears,

I thank Him for the happy year

he let her spend down here with me,

and for her love and loyalty.

My girlfriend Carolyn sent me this poem in an email today...

O R E O

Well we are not having a very good mornig around here....Kenny got up at like 5am like usual, put Charly & Oreo out to pee like usual.....and Charly came in and came back upstaris to bed, and thne like 10 mins later kenny came in and said that Oreo wasn't coming for him at all......

I got up started calling her, still no answer.....I said well just leave her out then and ill come back down in a few mins and she will probably be at the door looking to get in.....so i went back upstairs and got into bed....She often goes to the horse fields and roams around and never answers us when we call her but usually we can see her mind you at 5.20am its still dark....

The next thing i hear is Shannon. Shannon, it's kenny calling me............As my brother was coming in he noticed the dog up along the highway lying on the side of the road..........he didint realize it was Oreo till Kenny said we couldn't find her....sure enough we went up and it was her......she was hit by something and was already gone....

Holy cow i am rippin right now, what made her go up to the road.????

She never goes up there......who hit her.........??? Thanks for stopping,no just leave her there to die......she had her collar on and tags.....are people really that busy in their own lives.....???

I am so mad right now at her for going to the road and at the person who hit her..............for not even stopping...poor charly she is moping around, not sure what going on.....my poor little Oreo....gone to heaven to watch over us all...
