Well not really sure what to put for a title. Got so much on my mind, I am not sure what end is up! Still a few things left to worry about for the wedding, but I think things are slowly comming in to place. Still have to get candy kisses, pick out the music, get one more server for the salads.... and pray that my maid of honor will be able to make it here for the wedding.
I guess things are slowly comming to place.
Taylor didn't have school today. I however, had to drive bus. But thats ok.
I think I need a nap.. I am a cranky person today...

Oh boy

I guess you can tell that it has been a long week away from home. I didn't get near a computer for more then 5 min all week.
Oh well. I guess you can catch up with things now.
Taylor did such a great job walking Carley down the isle for Candy's wedding. I was so happy with him.
We have some pictures of the bears in Winnipeg, on Broadway Street. A picture of Taylor at the TO airport, some pictures of the girls before and durring the wedding. ... A picture of me saying... Darn it arn't we done yet...
and who knows what else...

watch out Dave!!

ok so I am a few days late with this post ( ok a week). Taylor, Jason and I went to the fall fair in Georgetown last weekend. We worked for Dave, and had a blast. Here are some pictures of the fair, and some of what happens when the 5 year old gets a hold of the camera!!
Have a great day.
Taylor and I are off to Kenora tomorrow. I will try and get some pictures for you all when we get back, or sooner if I find a computer there!!

lost in never never land

Ok so it has been a while since I last updated this wonderful blog. We have been busy with wedding preperations, and trying to get things sorted out. We have a pastor, Pastor Ian will do the wedding. Taylor wants to do two things for the wedding, walk with Julia, and walk mom down the isle. So I guess thats ok. We just have to figure out the isle. I think we might have to rent something to look like an isle, or we could just line the chairs up so it looks like it.

Taylor has been sick for a few days now. I think he caught a chill while we were in Georgetown the other night. I am sure he will get over it soon.
We leave this comming sunday for Kenora. We have a wedding to attend, then come home and finish ours and be wed two weeks after!
Have a great day!

Taylor and school

Well Taylor started school yesterday. I know, I Know, I am slow to the post. Jason took him to school in the morning, and I picked him up (a bit late). He seemed to have a good day. I still have to get him a few things for school such as inside shoes, gym clothing, a larger back pack (because they send way to much stuff home), and some "healthy" snacks. I have found that he isn't too intrested in the apple sause anymore, he use to love that stuff. I guess I will have to find a new fav.
Have a great day!

picking beans

Taylor and I were out in the garden most of the day picking beans. Taylor enjoys picking them with me. I will have to take more pictures and put them up for everyone to see. He is getting bigger, and really trying to be the independant man that he is.
Have a great night!

Pop, POP, pop

Well Taylor went outside with me today, and we picked some beets. He found some really large ones, and was soo happy with them. So after picking beets, we had to show him how to pickle them. I cleaned them up, and boiled them. Peeling them wasn't much fun, but it got done. While I was at the sink peeling them I watched two squirls on the fence. I was kind of shocked to see them work as a team, and take a pumpkin from the garden. I chased them away, and went back to peeling the beets. After I got them all cut up and ready to go, Taylor lost intrest.
We ended up with about 8 jars of beets, and there are still lots in the garden.
I hope the taste good. I have been listening to them pop and pop. I love that sound!!
Have a great day!

good day

Well it has been an uneventful few days. Taylor has settled down, and is back to his normal sleep pattern, Jason and I are sleeping better.
Jason and I watched a movie last night. It was nice to have the time to just cuddle up on the couch, and have time for us. We haven't really been doing that much.

Not much to report. I think that Taylor and I are going to try and get to the City Centre today, but not really sure yet, depends on the weather!
Have a great day!

sleepless night

Well Taylor had his friends stay again last night. It wasn't so bad after I seperated them, and made Taylor sleep in his own bed. Maybe an issue of over-stimulant. I thought I heard them all night, and that kinda stopped me from getting that deep sleep.
Today, we took them all to church. They were well behaved. They sure got hyper after we got home. But I guess that is to be expected.
Eating lunch, and I think they can all go back outside, and burn off some of this energy they all have.
I am sure Taylor will be in bed early, as he was up at 6am today, and didn't go back to bed.
I hope that he will have an early night as I am going to need one. I picked up a 6-2 shift for Monday, and I am looking forward to doing it as I have yet to do an early morning like this before.
Have a good day!

Happy Birthday

Well, today is Taylor's Birthday party. He had freinds sleep over last night, and then had a party this afternoon. Water fights, hot potato, hotdogs, icecream cake and presents, I am sure they all had fun.
I have put up a few pitcuters of today. Hope you enjoy!

Jam

Taylor and I went to a friends in Action today to make Peach Jam. Taylor was more intrested in playing with the cat then making jam. Shanna and I made lots of jam. I am sure that everyone will enjoy it. Her and I are also going to make perogies, and cabbage rolls in the fall, when it cools off.
Taylor now wants a kitten, not sure how that is going to work since we are not allowed to have one in the house we are renting. Maybe in a year or two, he can have one.
Jason and I went to look at a few town-houses last night. I fell in love with the second one that we viewed. It is an end unit, 3 bedrooms, full finished basement, good size rooms, all appliances. It was very nice. It only had one down fall. The kitchen is kind of small, but we can do something about that. Only one person in the kitchen at a time, and no eat-in area. But the rest of the house makes up for that!
Taylor is making crafts today, and I am sure we will go to the park for a while. The weather has cooled off a bit for us, more "normal" temps for us these days.

been a few days

Well time to update again. I guess it has been a few days.
Last night Taylor was having fun in the garden. He found the beets and wanted to eat them. I don't think he has ever eaten raw beets before, but he did last night. He also was helping me pick beans so that more would grow. He was shocked at the size of some of them... They have been really large. I have found if you leave some of the small ones, that they seem to get rather large quickly. I found my picture of my zuchini's from the first time around.
We lost all of our corn to a hungry animal. Not really sure what, but it has been really hungry. I will be surprised if I go out today and I still have any mellons left

shop till you drop!

Well Sophie, Anat, and I spent the morning shopping our butts off. We looked, and looked, and looked, at... in the last store we were in, we found the perfect dress!! We ran back to Brampton, dropped Anat off, picked up Sue, and Julia, and went back to Square one, to show Sue the dress, and find one for her. We found her's and got them!! I am hoping and praying that Candy will be ok with one of the ones we have.
The girls and I also got our table clothes, napkins, the last of the mens shirts, my tiara, and sore feet! All in all, I think we had fun, and I am happy that we went shopping and did all that we did. I hope to get a picture of the brides maid dresses to put up here. I am sure everyone will like them!!
Well off to make a few more phone calls. I hope that we can get everything done in the next few days.
God Bless
Nighters!!

wedding blitz

Well we spent most of the day looking for dress colours for the brides maids, we didn't get that far in that area, but we did get Taylor a very cute suit to wear, and the grooms men their shirts. I was a busy day. I am hoping tomorrow will be more productive, and we find the girls dresses.
I am heading out with Sophie, and Sue tomorrow to try and find the dresses, and a few other things for the wedding. Hoping that we will find all that we need, and I can settle down a bit on that note.
We tried to put Julia's tiara on, but her hair is so thin, and she really hasn't got much, that it didn't want to stay in. I am going to look for other ideas on how to keep it in her hair. I am sure we will come up with something.
Well off to write up some more invitations. Have a great night!!

Hello

Well I worked today. It wasn't such a bad day.
Jason printed off our invitations, and reply cards. He was worried that he messed up because he didn't check things before he printed, and printed some in black and white. I think it's ok because they still look really good. So, no mess up, just a change in plans!
We got most of our invitations addressed, and names put on our reply cards, tomorrow I will work on putting our little saying on the actual invitations. I hope that I can do them nicely.
I have had a thought about the bridesmaid dresses, I think I might just go find the colour that I want, and let them all find their own dresses. That way, I get the right colour, and they will have dresses that they might wear again!! Just in the thought process.
Well off to bed, not much to write today!
Nighters

invitations

Well, we worked on our wedding invitations last night. We have decided to hand write parts of them. It sure takes some time, but I think they will look good. We have just been practicing with the calligraphy set, that way we don't mess things up too bad when Jason prints the cards off at work. We have everything set up and know what they are going to look like when they are done, so it will be nice to get them done, and get them mailed.
I forgot how much work there is in planning a wedding. I sure hope that we can get everything done.
We purchaced the small pumpkins for our small gifts, we just have to decied on what to fill them with. We are still working on our mailing list, but I think Jason has to phone his family to get a few more, as will I. We are still waiting to hear back from our church here to know for sure if Pastor Dean will be able to officiate the wedding or not. If anyone has any ideas of things that we might forget to do, please let me know... I think I could use all the help I could get!!
Taylor is in a great mood today. I hope he stays this way, I have a few things that I would like to get done yet.
I hope that Sue and I will have time on wednesday to go look for some colours for the bridesmaids dresses. Even if i get colours, I can at least send Candy the colour, and she can look for a dress herself.
I picked up my dress yesterday, as well as a taira for Julia, I hope that she will be able to practice with it, and keep it on her head.
I have a few phone calls to make after noon today to find out about the meal that we would like to try and have. Find out how much it is going to cost, and if they can help us with what we are looking for.
I guess I should really start taking pictures again so you don't all have so much reading, and have more to look at... A bit more intrest then just reading..
Have a good day!

family pictures

well we went to Newmarket for "family" pictures today. I guess it wasn't that bad. I did get to see my brothers that I haven't seen in about 10 years or so. It was nice to spend time with them.
The pictures will be nice when we get them back also. Michelle did a photo with the two boys and I, and Dad did on with Michelle's two girls. The are nice poses. We did a gag picture that I am sure people will enjoy. I will make sure to post them when I get copies.

We went to Mel's for a BBQ afterwords (Mel is Michelle's oldest daughter). We had a few drinks, eat, sang karoke, and drove home. It wasn't a bad day all in all!
My dad seems ok with the wedding, and seems happy that he is invited. I hope all goes well with all my family in one room for a few hours!
Have a good night!

Sunny St. Jacobs

Well I spent the day in St. Jacobs working for Dave. I enjoy doing it. I got to go for a walk around and see what was new. Sure lots of fruit starting to show up now. I hope that the next time I go I can get some peaches, and maybe some cucumbers for pickling.
Taylor had a good day at the sitters today. He seems in a good mood. I hope the evening holds out the same.
Have a great day!

the thunder rolls!

Well the rain is comming down, the sounds are wonderful.
Jason contacted the church here, to see if one of their pastors would officiate our wedding. By the sounds of things, it is a possiblity. That is good to know. We don't have much time left to plan things, but we sure need to get a move on.
I asked my mother to help me find a small basket for Julia, and a pillow for Noah (or Taylor, if I really can't get him to walk down the isle with me).
I hope we can get things all worked out..
Anyway, it is storming more then I thought.. going to shut down the computer for now.
Have a good afternoon
