True friendship

You know..not everyone will be lucky enough to find that one person who makes them feel that no matter how silly you are, they will still be your friend. Not everyone will be lucky enough to find that one person whom they can talk to no matter what. Not everyone is lucky enough to find that one person who will always be there for you no matter what. Not everyone will be lucky enough to find A TRUE FRIEND.

For me, I'm not one of those people. I have found not only someone whom I consider a bestfriend but someone who I know I will be friends with for the rest of my life and even though we live 1000's of miles apart...she is and always will be a part of my life. No names are needed here because she knows just how much she and her friendship mean to me......so this is for you my friend...my TRUE FRIEND!

Fox's countdown to Halloween

So Fox has been on a countdown to Halloween and he is getting rather excited...although just yesterday he informed me that he is giong to be a witch...mind you we have his Tigger costume in our closet..kids eh!!!

A Date To Remember...

~Older picture of Deborah Thorne ~

On October 24, 1996 my husband and his family lost one of their pillars of strength...Deborah Agnus Thorne passed away from Ovarian Cancer leaving behind many broken hearts.

I was also one of the unlucky ones..I never had the chance to meet this amazing woman who brought the most amazing man into this world..my husband. I may not have met her however I do thank her each and every day for Phil and his love.

It saddens me that she will never have the chance to meet her Grandchildren however we will make sure that she is never forgotten and they know all there is to know about such an amazingly strong woman..their Nanny Deborah!!

I dedicate this day to her memory....one that is too well loved to ever be forgotten!!!

A Thought For A Very Special Friend And Her Family.

Soul's Treasure

A Friend is a Treasure

A friend is someone we turn to,

when our spirits need a lift.

A friend is someone we treasure,

for our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives,

with beauty, joy and grace.

And make the world we live in,

a better and happier place

Sarah, Brett, Gavin, Brynn and Alec...you are all in my thoughts and prayers! Your family is one of the strongest families I know and will conquer this heartbreak...with the love and support of one another and your friends/family, you all can get through anything that life has to offer you. Just know that I love you all and am here for you ALWAYS!!

Fox's belly

So after Fox just finished eating two freezes and having some snacks, he started rocking on the couch only to hear it all swishing around in his belly, he even put his hand on his stomach so he could feel it..something he's never heard or felt before. I don't think I've ever seen him laugh so hard before.

My Children playing together

Here is Fox and Nevada riding the tricycle together.

Kids say the darnest things...

While Nevada, Fox and myself were getting ready to go pick up my mom for the weekend, we decided to stop in at our local Tim Hortons for some timbits...anyways, we went through the drive through and at this particular drive through, the speaker in which we have to talk through is on the back of the wall...all brick mind you. When Fox noticed this, he got all excited and asked me if it was a talking wall. Too cute!

Halloween Carving for the first time...

SO...with two little children running around, Phil and I try to make each holiday something special and pumpkin carving is just something that goes with Halloween so Fox and I went out the other day and picked out two pumpkins..one for him and one for Nevada. Fox picked out the round one for himself and the tall one for his sister...then the task was finding something to carve into it. I think we made a pretty great decision as to what to use.

Here is a close up of Fox's pumpkin...THE SPIDER:

Here is a close up of Nevada's pumpkin...THE MOON WITH A BAT FLYING THROUGH IT:

The really great thing about all this is that I have never carved a pumpkin before so we think this is pretty great for a first timer... ;-)

Fox and his bestfriend

So Fox decided he wanted to go outside today and play with his superman...however just going out to play wasn't what I thought he meant...he actually had to dress him with one of his jackets and superman even had on a hat however it was too big and wouldn't stay on his head. You can see how proud Fox is just standing next to him and how much fun he's having.

As you can see by the picture above, he's giving his new friend some much needed cuddles, letting him know that he'll be fine learning to ride the bike.

Here Fox is trying to get his new friend to make funny faces at the camera however superman is a little stiff!!

OUR LITTLE MAN!!!

with...well a bit of a different bed head..it's all flat except for the top of her head...she does look cute though ;-)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY FELLOW CANADIANS

My little swimmer

So as most of you know, we've registered Fox in swimming lessons and his first day there was a total mess. He didn't do good at all so we called and got him transferred into a class where either myself or Phil are in the pool with him and HE LOVES IT. He does everything that the instructors ask him to do. They even tell him how great he is doing. We brought Phil and Nevada along today so that they could see just how great he was doing and Nevada just sat there watching her big brother. We are SO proud of them both.

More of our backyard pets...

So you all know that during these months and the months to come, we are visited everyday with some very special friends...."reindeers" as my 3 year old calls them. Today was extra special because not only did we see our special visitors...one of them was a baby. I never really realized just how beautiful and peaceful these wonderful animals are. The ones around where I live are somewhat tame...if there are no distractions, they will come up to you and feed. They are so beautiful

Nevada's newest word

So each and everyday our children are surprising us either with Fox coming up with his own sayings or by using his imagination, or with Nevada saying new words. The other night when I was getting her ready for bed, I took off one of her socks and said "ONE" only to have her lift up her other foot to me and say "TWO". I was so shocked and happy that I just kept repeating the process of taking off her socks just to hear her say "TWO".

Mushy Brains...

So the other morning Fox decided to come join Phil and I as we were waking up. He was lying there, cuddling with the two of us when all of the sudden I heard him tell his daddy that he had a squishy head. I laughed at this but wasn't sure what he meant until he turned my way, started pushing my forhead together in between the two of his fingers and said "Mommy, you have a squishy head too". Apparently Phil and I have mush for brains...lol.
