Where have I been - PART 1
I'm back AGAIN ... sorry AGAIN for being so slack with the whole blogging thing. I've been a very busy gal .. let me tell you all about it !
Mom's birthday .. Feb 20th ...so I would like to take some time to talk about the greatest woman alive .. she is the wind beneath my wings, she is my hero, she is my best friend, she is my support, she is a WORRY WART, she is my taxi driver (yes, STILL), she is someone I look up to and someone I want to become(minus the worry wart part), she is the greatest ..
Mar 1-5th - We (Mom, Linden and I) went to the city to visit Sister and cousins .. had a FAB time, made me really miss my days in the city, the shopping, the show homing (love love to go look at show homes) the food, the lattes, the snowless yards and streets. I do have to admit though .. I would rather the snow then rain, rain, rain, I mean at least when we have snow we do get the odd ray of sun shining down. You guessed it .. the visit was great the weather not so much. I also have to mention all the above things were a lot easier to do when Linden was in my belly and not running around .. riding on EVERY little ride that the malls had to offer. Can't blame the little guy .. he HATES shopping .. I think it's a guy thing cause I seen plenty of 2 year old princesses shopping away with their parents. Auntie made things better for me .. she took the big guy swimming so that Nana and I could at least get 1 hour of shopping done. Thanks Auntie. I have come to the conclusion that if I'm heading to the city for the sole purpose of shopping and show homing while visiting my sister I will not bring Linden .. BUT if I plan to go to the zoo and aquarium, maybe the science center then forsure Linden should come. Most people might think I would NEVER go all the way to the city to see some fish and a caged tiger but I soooo would. Ask family and close friends I LOVE to hang out in these places .. heck before Linden I made Ryan take me .. still a kid at heart!
The trip was a lot of fun ..
Linden's favs were visiting with his Auntie, playing with his new plane that she bought him, the swimming pool, playing with cousin "P", going to the park with Aunite and the plane ride to Auntie 's house and the plane ride home .. he actually crys when he has to get off.
My favs have to be, seeing my sister (that's something I always look forward to), seeing my cuz and her family (we got to celebrate her birthday with her, I have to mention she has a great husband and he did a wonderful job with the planning, entertaining, drinks and food! Good work M) another favorite thing.... my sister and I went to the CANUCKS game sunday night .. they played the Wild and won in shootouts but with extra shooters.... LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the game ... YAHOOO..... I phoned up our family friend that GAVE me the tickets and thanked him right away. It was soooooo awesome. Of course I could never leave GM place with out a few souvenirs soooo and my sis and I bought a few hats for brother and husband and we bought my Dad a Luongo jersey for his birthday which is in April ... we thought he could frame it and put it up in his new games room in the new house. He'll love it!

What Is a Mother?
A mother can be almost any size or any age, but she won't admit to anything over thirty. A mother has soft hands and smells good. A mother likes new dresses, music, a clean house, her children's kisses, an automatic washer and Daddy.
A mother doesn't like having her children sick, muddy feet, temper tantrums, loud noise or bad report cards. A mother can read a thermometer (much to the amazement of Daddy) and like magic, can kiss a hurt away.
A mother can bake good cakes and pies but likes to see her children eat vegetables. A mother can stuff a fat baby into a snowsuit in seconds and can kiss sad little faces and make them smile.
A mother is underpaid, has long hours and gets very little rest. She worries too much about her children but she says she doesn't mind at all. And no matter how old her children are, she still likes to think of them as her little babies.
She is the guardian angel of the family, the queen, the tender hand of love. A mother is the best friend anyone ever had. A mother is love.

Hey buddy - nice to see you back in blogland. Your post made me cry - I'm sad I missed out on your visit when you were down here. I really miss having my good old friends around me lately.
Don't worry Tare I will come down again soon .. I REALLY wanted to see you and my sister was even going to give up her seat at the hockey game for you BUT it wasn't the right time and I TOTALLY understand that! I miss you sooo much .. hope you're doing a little better .. thanks for the email .. it meant a lot! Love ya!
You have been a busy little bee. Glad you had such a good visit. I must say again that I LOVE the new hair color. Very nice photo of the two sisters.
And yes, you have 1 of the 2 coolest mothers on the planet.
You're back! Yay!
Love the post about yer mama and gotta agree 110%. And that dessert looked yummy!
We loved having you for a visit too, though it was much too short. At least we have the wedding to look forward to.
Can't wait to see you at the wedding. I am not sure if I like the photo I look a little wide eyed and freaky! plus I don't understand what I did with my hair. moving on....
Ok, I'm ready for part 2 now... ;)
