Time Moves on Some More

Another year comes and goes, this one leaving you 15 years old. How can that be? Fifteen years you brought me into the world of Motherhood and we haven't looked back since.

This new year brings the start of high school. Which scares me to death. I'm not ready for you to venture into the world of high school but it is coming no matter what I want.

You have the loveliest smile that lights up a room and your sisters adore you so much. When you're gone in the summer to visit your Dad/Step Mom/3 other sisters they are lost without you. I have found them crying for you many times. You guys love to fight and argue but then I see the moments of love, hugs, snuggles and kisses I know all is right in our little world.

You are such a genuine and loving person. You always think of others as much as you do of yourself. You don't think twice of getting something for someone else when you have some money in your pocket. If you only knew how much my heart melts when you say here Mom I bought you a Lime Crush because I know it's your favorite.

Mondays have become you day to cook supper, it started when I worked this past spring and you cooked supper for your Daddy and sisters. It stuck, even after I was done work. The maturity I've seen develop in you the last year or so has left me in awe. Awe that I have helped you become who you are today. I am proud to be called your Mother.

Happy 15th Birthday my beautiful Morgyn. You are truly a delight.

Help Needed

So I really need to start walking. It's been on the to-do list for awhile now and summers here so what better time. My plan is to get up and go out for an hour when my DH gets home from work in the morning.

Now for the help part. I want to make an up beat play list that has some fast paced music to make me want to get out and get moving, I need some suggestions.

Please :)

Almost missed it

Happy Birthday Jillian. Today you are 4 years old. The time has gone so fast since we welcomed you into our arms.


You just finished your 1st year of pre-school and you enjoyed it so much, you had a fantastic teacher and teacher's helper. How you longed for every day to be Monday and Wednesday. It is bittersweet that I send you back this fall, knowing the outcome will lead you to kindergarten.


You have become quite the little soccer player, picking up some tips from your big sister Kamryn. One day a week doesn't seem to be enough for you at times. You love to get out and kick the ball, and love it even more when you can come home and call Daddy and Nanny to share your goals of the evening. You and your little friend Isabella are so cute to watch on the field picking each other up when you "fall" you guys definitely deserve the sportsmanship award for that.


You have started to show such a little personality. You have a stubborn streak a mile long and have no fear in "fighting" for what you want.


You loved your pink icing and purple sprinkle cake we had tonight and are itching to try out your new scooter and bike. My favorite gift was your Cabbage Patch Kid Morgyn and I found named Jillian Reina, a 2 year search came to and end when we found it 2 weeks ago. Yaaaaay.


Happy Birthday my sweet little girl. I love you more than you can imagine my Bug;

Happy Birthday Kamryn





Here she is on her last night as a 7 year old. I snuck in after she fell asleep.


Eight years ago today our lives were blessed with this sweet girl. What a joy she is, such a kind, compassionate, caring, friendly, smart and loving girl (I can toot my own DD's horn right?). This girl of mine is so much like me in some ways, she is a sensitive soul and doesn't bat an eyelash when the tears come when she is watching a show or a movie. She is so like her Dad in many ways too, she looks just like him and she has some ways that are not exactly lady like which she definately got from Daddy.


Kamryn is a reader, never far is a book from her hand. I love to see her engrossed in a book, I love when we read together (we're reading the Little House on the Prairie books at the moment). Her word recognition is beyond her Gr 2 level and it shows in her reading immensly, she works so hard every week to study for her spelling test and enjoys school very much. She has lucked into some awesome teachers in her 1st 3 years of school and I am so grateful for that.



Just before school this morning, it was sports day so she wore her soccer uniform. We're having a little celebration tonight and tomorrow is dinner and maybe a movie. Love you my girl. xoxoxoxo

I'm a 2

This is a fun little game that my friend Wendy posted. It has NO TAGGING ... DON'T WORRY. It's safe to read on.

Here's how you find your number:
Add your birth date, your month, and your four digit birth year.
That will equal a four digit number.Add those four digits together. That will equal a two digit number.
Add those two digits together. That's your number:

Here's my example:
1 + 7 + 1974 = 1982
1 + 9 + 8 + 2 = 2o
2 + 0= 2
Your Birth Number : 2

Here's your "personality type" based on your number:

1. The Originator : 1's are originals. Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural. Having things their own way is another trait that gets them labeled as being stubborn and arrogant. 1's are extremely honest and do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them. Lesson to learn: Others' ideas might be just as good or better and to stay open minded.

2. The Peacemaker : 2's are the born diplomats. They are aware of others' needs and moods and often think of others before themselves. Naturally analytical and very intuitive they don't like to be alone. Friendship and companionship is very important and can lead them to be successful in life, but on the other hand they'd rather be alone than in an uncomfortable relationship. Being naturally shy they should learn to boost their self-esteem and express themselves freely and seize the moment and not put things off.

3. The Life of the Party : 3's are idealists. They are very creative, social, charming, romantic, and easygoing. They start many things, but don't always see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great lengths to achieve it. They are very popular and idealistic. They should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view.

4. The Conservative :4's are sensible and traditional. They like order and routine. They only act when they fully understand what they are expected to do. They like getting their hands dirty and working hard. They are attracted to the outdoors and feel an affinity with nature. They are prepared to wait and can be stubborn and persistent. They should learn to be more flexible and to be nice to themselves.

5. The Nonconformist : 5's are the explorers. Their natural curiosity, risk taking, and enthusiasm often lands them in hot water. They need diversity, and don't like to be stuck in a rut. The whole world is their school and they see a learning possibility in every situation. The questions never stop. They are well advised to look before they take action and make sure they have all the facts before jumping to conclusions.

6. The Romantic : 6's are idealistic and need to feel useful to be happy. A strong family connection is important to them. Their emotions influence their decisions. They have a strong urge to take care of others and to help. They are very loyal and make great teachers. They like art or music. They make loyal friends who take the friendship seriously. 6's should learn to differentiate between what they can change and what they cannot.

7. The Intellectual : 7's are the searchers. Always probing for hidden information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don't sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don't like to be questioned themselves. They're never off to a fast start, and their motto is slow and steady wins the race. They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets. They live in their own world and should learn what is acceptable and what not in the world at large.

8. The Big Shot : 8's are the problem solvers. They are professional, blunt and to the point, have good judgment and are decisive. They have grandiose plans and like to live the good life. They are take charge people. They view people objectively. They let you know in no uncertain terms that they are the boss. They should learn to base their decisions on their own needs rather than on what others want.

9. The Performer : 9's are natural entertainers. They are very caring and generous, giving away their last dollar to help. With their charm they have no problem making friends and nobody is a stranger to them. They have so many different personalities that people around them have a hard time understanding them. They are like chameleons, ever changing and blending in. They have tremendous luck, but also can suffer from extremes in fortune and mood. To be successful they need to build a loving foundation.

My #2 is surprisingly accurate. Have a go at it and see if your # is you leave me a comment and let me know.
