Missing Person Found:)

Hello everyone....sorry I have been MIA for a bit, it's been a pretty hectic month of August. I wasn't sure somedays if I was coming or going.
Brent and I have been to Michigan to the NASCAR race and had another great time with good friends:). We came home from there, we unpacked, I did laundry and repacked again. This time we headed to Buffalo and Niagara Falls for 4 days with the kids. We went to Fantasy Island in Buffalo and we had a great time there until I rode the Tilt a Whirl with 2 kids "Screaming....GO FASTER" and me feeling GREENER by the second and hoping to hell the ride was almost over.....lol...
We headed back to stay at the Falls for a few days, did lots of walking on Clifton Hill, spent way more money than it should cost to have a good holiday and did all the Back to School shopping for Kenzie and Aiden. We came home, attended Aiden's Lacrosse Banquet, did laundry and packed up again to head to the Glassford Reunion in Wiarton. Aiden managed to sneak away with the Parkinsons for a few days to Sauble, and then MacKenzie,Evan and I headed up to spend one day with them and the Hutchsions.
The Kids are back to school on TUESDAY.....YEAHHHHHHHHH!....you know that commercial with the parents rushing around the Staples store(I think) and the music playing....It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!!!!!.....Well, when you have kids that fight and carry on...it's TRUE.....besides that I can't wait to relax after this whirlwind month we have had.
Hope everyone is doing well and here are a few of my favorite pics from NASCAR.
Every time we go down there we play a game of Newfie Golf against these Americans we met last year. Canadians VS Americans, In June when Brent and the kids went the Americans made a Stanley Cup for the winner, Larry and Brent are our Team Players and have not brought the Win back.....So we had to all bring with us our Canadian clothing not to be out done with the Cup.....unfortunatly I think we were as the Americans got this Cup all cased up and you couldn't touch it without white Gloves....lol...Well needless to say....Larry ended up sick on Game Day so Adam had to sub in......AND....We CANADIANS brought the CUP to Canada....lol....of course we had to tour the Campground Arthur Winner style.....lol....that is...until the Smoke caught up with us....apparently a BIG, NO NO around there.
Have a Great Night:)

2007

Here's a new L/O that I have partially finished. It still needs a bit of journaling but other than that, it's done.

This is a kit I purchased at Two Friends Scrapbooking. It has pictures of every month from 2007 and 4 big pictures in that year. I really liked how it turned out so I even scraplifted and did another page following this L/O.....will show that one another day. Happy Tuesday!

What a Week

Last week is pretty much a blur here.....I was working in the office last week as the Office Cooridinator was on holidays, so I was covering for her. 4 days of that sure kicked the crap outta me....It was an adjustment for everyone around here. Trying to get myself ready, plus 3 kids and be out the door at 7:30am.....man I'm tired just thinking about it again....haha...Hats off to those working moms....someday I will be doing it again full time.....but for now...I'll enjoy getting ready at my OWN pace!

The kids however had a fun week, they went to the P's house and Nanny M took GREAT care of them.

This week is going to be another blur......we have so many errands to do in 3 days and then we are off for Holidays for 1 1/2 weeks and then I am back at the office....but only for 2days and then SCHOOL starts....YIKES!

We managed to get MacKenzie's school supplies this past weekend and will get her and Aiden's clothes while we are on holidays. This week they are attending a VBS here in town.

Summer sports are all wrapped up now.....MacKenzie's ball tourney was this past weekend and they didn't fair too well, but it's over.....for another year. Now we look forward to winter sports starting.....gosh I'm tired again thinking about our next month.....it doesn't seem to end!HAHA

Here is a card I made for Nanny M....to thank her for taking care of the kids on such short notice last week.....that's a whole other story in itself....let's just say it all turned out much better than it started.

Trouble in Blogger World

I had some pictures to share today....but unfortunatly Blogger is giving me an internal error and won't let me upload any pictures. I searched around the internet only to see that I am not the only one having this problem today.
Stay tuned tomorrow, and cross your fingers that I can upload some pictures.

Civic Weekend

This long weekend was a busy filled one for us. Friday night we headed to the Keg for supper with Ron and Linda to celebrate their Anniversary. We decided to get them a GPS for a gift, as we knew that Ron had talked about one before and Linda will no longer have to stop and ask for directions and have the people think that they are DRUNK....lol...if you know Brent's aunts and how the laugh and kackle you know their not drunk!LOL
Saturday morning we headed off to the Lake for our last long weekend of the summer. We had another nice weather weekend. We did do a little tubing on Sunday, MacKenzie and Mark were the only ones who tubed, as all of a sudden Aiden doesn't want to tube anymore.....after further talking about it and thinking back to a conversation about fish in the lake.....we figured out why.....he has in his head now that the fish are going to bite him and snapping turtles too.....lol...what a kid!! Saturday night we went to Southampton and took some pictures of the sun setting down by the lighthouse. It was pretty windy down there, so we didn't stay long.....mom was getting a bit freaked out with us climbing the rocks....if you know my mom.....you know it probably wasn't a big deal....LOL!!

Sunday evening we headed to Wiarton to the fair and to watch the fireworks. The kids played some games and went on a few rides.....Aiden won a pair of glasses....(see pictures)...lol....of course they became the highlight of the night....lol. The fireworks were good as well.

We came home early today as I knew I would have mounds of laundry to get done as I am working in the office all week.

Hope you all had a good Civic Weekend!

Here are some pics of our weekend.
