Well I actually did it!!

I actually sucked up the big bucks and got Lasik surgery instead of new glasses.

What a piece of cake! I would recommend it to anyone.
We left thursday night and stayed in Langley(super 8 with a waterslide) quickly went for a swim when we arrived because the pool was closing and than we were so hungry that Chris went out at 10pm and got everyone Mcdonalds. The kids loved that.
The next morning we spent a few hours at The Greater Vancouver Zoo ( most of the animals were still sleeping when we arrived so I would suggesting not going first thing in the morning),

We deceided to venture into Vancouver with lots of time to spare before my appointment because Chris and I just don't get along in Vancouver, we always get lots for some reason. This time I googled everything and It went smoothly the whole time and we never got lost.
I love Google maps!!!!

We ended up staying at posh hotel just off Robison( with the kids) It was actually was one to the cheaper ones through Coal Harbour. It was beautiful. We walked around the sea wall for a bit and than I headed off to Coal Harbour. Kids are not recommend on coming to the appointments so Chris had to kept themselfs busy for a couple of hours. They actually arrived to pick me up just as I was finishing the procedure so they got to watch a couple of minutes of it on the TV.

The procedure was not painful at all just kind of wiered. It was blurry when I left the clinic( it didn't stop me from shopping on Robinson for a few hours) after a couple of hours it was getting better and by the next morning my eyes were just dry. Chris and the Kids bought me flowers for when I arrived back at the hotel and they ended up staying alive in the car cup holder all weekend.
Anyways to keep going , the next morning I had a quick check and everything was fine and than we were off to Victoria. The trip went great expect for the fact the kids kindof got to us and we were losing are patience because the kids are just spoiled and it is always about them. We made it through it and got to see way more of Victoria than what I expected. It is beautiful and we well return there on a camping trip so it won't be so expensive.

Anyways thank you to everyone in helping me make the big decision and I only wish I would of done it sooner.

Tradition in our house for Grandma's birthday,death day and mothers etc. Is to go to the dollar store and Kanaan, Mya and Myself pick a colour of ballon and we get them filled and take them to My mom's grave site. We talk a little bit about her, who she is, what we miss about her and I always try to explain where she is. Mya calls the grave site" Grandma's House" she really doesn't get it. Kanaan understands and misses her a lot and I try so hard for him not to forget about her. Kanaan always kneels by her stone asks me what it says and asks questions about God and takes a few moments to think. Well this time Mya decided to join him and I thought it was just the most precious thing and had to take pictures. I swear this was not a posed.

The kids make me so pround.

"We miss you Grandma" till we meet again.

Kids say the cutiest things!!!

I always remember reading my mom's magazines and loved reading the columns

"Kids say the cutest things"

Well the other day I was driving with the kids and was waiting in a long line up to turn and Mya asks me "why aren't we there yet?" I proceeded to tell her that there were cars in are way.
And her comment was ;

"Mom just say excuse me and and go"

Too funny and Innocent.

Picture Perfect day and no camera!!!!

Ok Picture this:

Beautiful afternoon and we all decided to go quading for a family day!!Great idea right?

It actually was but what do you do with a two year old on a quad?

Chris decided to get a quad back seat( illegal/not safe) the quad has huge warning signs on it not suitable for passergers. That doesnt' stop him. So he riggs up this seat and riggs it up so Mya's car seat well sit in it. Well Mya is as happy as could be, She loves riding with dad on the quad ..Normally it is just on our yard( we have 2 1/2 acres) but she was going on a huge adventure today. We packed a picinc lunch and told Mya that we were going to the quad park( meaning just trails in the woods). We were on are way and drove for a little with kanaan leading the pack( yes he has his own quad and is a better driver than I'm) Chris and Mya were in the middle and I held up the back end. We drove to a cute little spot with a wood bridge and a creek running under it and had a picinc lunch. Mya asked were the slide was because we were sappose to be going to a quad park so that took some explaining. We actually ended up running in to a group of people we new and visited for a little while and we starting heading back. Than something happened. Mya fell asleep in her car seat setting on the back of Chris's quad while we were in the middle of know where up the mountain. I felt so bad for her. Her head was just bobbing away. We ended up making it down to the truck Mya still asleep loaded up the quads and went all the way home and put Mya in bed and had to wake her up after a hour at home. She was out cold!

Anyways I sure wish I had a camera there would of been some good shots. I hope you got the pictures!

You Are Basic Panties

You are a laid back chick with a real natural beauty.
You can make unwashed hair and minimal make-up super sexy.
Men tend to notice you show the "real you" - and they appreciate it.
And while basic makes boring for some, it looks classic on you.
My unwashed hair is certainly not sexy its called greasy!
I'm pretty laid back but a natural beauty I don't think so.
Do you ever have those days that there is a million things to do like clean the house because there are still dishes from two days ago one the counter, the toilets haven't been cleaned in a week and everyone has been walking in the house with their shoes on after you just mowed the lawn and there is now grass everywhere. Have you ever had those days when you could sleep in and your daughter decides to come in your bed at midnight and keep you up all night and than decides at 6am to pee in your bed on your feather down duvet and feather bed and you just really don't want to deal with it

Anyways that has been my day today!!!!!!!
Maybe tomorrow might be more motivating?

Amazing what you can find on the net!!!!
