A Princess and 4 Boys

The kids were all couped up and going crazy on Sunday so we threw on our windbreakers and headed to the park. Owen's poor legs couldn't move fast enough for him. It was so cute. He had a blast and Jon met some of our neighbours finally now that winter is supposedly leaving us and they invited him to their game of kick ball. I was so happy that I wanted to take a picture but I didn't want to be that mom....yet!!! On your mark get set ...run!!!

One of my most cherished things to do with Jonathan apart from our crawling into bed together and watching Smallville is to build legos! This was our latest creation! I love this one on one time with Jon, I also love the lack of Video Games during these moments!

So our little Owen isn't so little anymore. He is coming up with words every single day...you can't say or do anything without the risk of him repeating you. So when we went to Jasper the other weekend, Boris was enthralled with the mini Ketchup and other condiments that JPL provide so he scammed some home. Owen had discovered that he loved the Hellmann's jar and confiscated it from Boris. When Owen went to sleep, I picked up from the upstairs hall where he had dropped it while running to his bath and put it in our room to take down later...ultimately forgetting about it for a few days (it ended up blending in with all my woman crap on my dresser). A few days later, Owen comes into our room and sees it. INSTANT ANGER! "No, no, no! Don't Touch!!! Owen" says Owen to Boris as he grabs the mini mayo and storms out of our room and puts it in his room. Boris says, "Did that really just happen? Did I just get scolded for having my own mayo jar"? Hilarious! ...

Ok so I went to Nikki my hair stylist and got my hair cut and coloured last Friday. We went quite dark with my hair and I think I like it but a major catastrophe happened on Sunday night. I went to have a bath and while soaking in the tub, I rested my wet head on the back of the porcelain tub. I didn't think anything of it until I pulled the plug, got out and proceeded to clean the tub...yup!!! Bright Purple stain!! What did I try to clean it with: Soap and water A wiry brush with lemon juice CLR Comet A Magic Eraser None worked...I pouted to Heather tonight and she ran and brought me her Norwex Cleaning Paste to try...insert a chorus of singing angels playing harps!!! IT WORKED!!!

Some pictures from Jasper. This wine was sooo good. It was one of the best Rose wines I have purchased in a long time. Sometimes when you buy a bottle of wine for its name or by its funky bottle, you can get pretty burned but this was so nice and aromatic...I easily drank this whole bottle minus one glass I shared.

I know Heather is totally going to think that I copied her!!!! I love her and want to emulate her in may ways but my blog was and is always my personality and I was totally going to do this tonight....so Anyway, no more stalling...off to work on the recipe book now.

Did my yoga tonight...I can't stop talking about how much I love it!!!! So Boris' first day seemed to go well. I am glad. I think he is going to do great things and I think after the initial stress of learning everything, I think he will love it. The bus ride is 1 bus and he gets there in less than 30 minutes. Quite a difference! Funny thing....at 8pm he went to bed. :) Jon and I want to go see the new Alice and Wonderland movie this week. Our Legoland passes came today!!!! SOOOOO EXCITED about our Summer trip!! Two weeks with the boys is going to be so incredible. I went to Spago for lunch today with Suz and Kat. I love that restaurant so much. Oh this weekend I was in Jasper for a work retreat for UofA Family Medicine Students and Boris came with me. We had just a great time and got in great walks all around JPL. It is such a beautiful resort and I really got to play with my camera. I worry that Boris is going to give me an ultimatum and that I must choose from him and my ...

Dearest Darcy, This post is for you!!! OK so after 2 weeks of slacking off (I have 100 excuses and they are all reality to me but enough is enough) I have to get back on the wagon! I started all over! I couldn't in good conscience just pick up where I left off so I started my Biggest Loser Last Chance workout again. Week one, day one. I seem ok. My heart rate is pounding but I made it through and while I am feeling like it was a hard workout...I didn't vomit and I wore proper bolder holders. I love my yoga and try to do it as often as I can. It has helped me in so many ways. I find that when provoked, I am able to just let it slide and when I know I am right...I can walk away knowing that without pushing. It has helped my self esteem, it is helping me tone, it is helping me recognize when my body is stressed and how to correct it...and there is so much more that I can't even begin to express it. Our pedometer challenge at work has also made me realize the activity that I d...
