A Princess and 4 Boys

What does a lady need to do to get attention from my boys?

We spent the day at Nanna's doing some baking. We taught Braden how to read a recipe, put in the ingredients and the most important skill of all...licking the beaters. Braden wants to get involved in baking and cooking more and I couldn't be happier. Quite often I feel like the outsider being the only girl and the fact that all three boys now take an interest in helping in the kitchen makes me super happy.

You are just what I needed. I have so much in my thoughts and in my heart and my soul and I don't know where to send it. I used to have journals and journals of poems, writings and letters to nobody and everybody. Why did I stop? I used to be able to just take a pencil and let that be my voice and not even know what I was writing until I was done. I have lost that somewhere along my past and I need it. I miss the smell and feel of new journals and journals that are filled with my thoughts.

So many people inspire me that this one is a little difficult.  I defaulted with the picture to be my husband because not only does he inspire me but he pushes me to be the best in the world at what I do. This is his model face I do want to give an honorable mention though to someone whom I try to emulate in many ways... Roslyn .  She is that woman who does it all.  She has a great family, is amazing at her job, knows what hills to die on and how to continually continue to grow herself to be who she wants to be.  I absolutely adore her. Both these people have been instramental lately in listening to me vent, be a wet shoulder for me to cry on...literally, give advise and let me come up with my own advice.  I am a better person for both these people in my life.

Yuck, there is a reason I love taking pictures...so I don't have to be in them...close enough.

Ok so first of all when I saw that i was going to have to take a picture of a bird, I was kind of freaking out as birds and I are not friends...nor am I friends with Giraffes, mini corns, and Home Hardware....but that is for another blog post. So when I saw that Owen was wearing his angry birds shirt, I literally did a little dance of joy.  He even offered to pose like a bird on a pirch for me.

We went to Calgary this weekend for an inpromtu visit to see Terrie and Merv...and to get a new Stampeder hat for Boris. When we are there, the best and most fun we do is play Canasta.  I also seem to let myself go and have a few cokes (wink wink).  So anyway, for May 4th, the picture was fun. ooo he had some cards I could have used.
