B's Home!

Yea B is finally home after 11 day's of being in Utah with my Mom and Dad! We were all excited to see I'm but i think Paris was the happiest. She came out running and screaming and huge hugs were giving. We're all glad to have him home!

So last night was The Broadway musical Lion King that Brad got me tickets to. It was fabulous! The costumes and Set's were amazing as well as the actors' The little Simba was 8 years old! they were all amazing. And we really enjoyed it. And a big thanks to Scott for tackling the 2 boy's and Knox for part of the time. Rumor has it Blazer woke up in the night and ended up in bed with grandpa which we failed to tell him what a kicker Blaze is. Anyway Poor Grandpa survived and Mom survived with Knox and I'm sure that wont happen for awhile again but we are so grateful for them for watching and letting us have a bit of a alone time!

We went up to Calgary a bit early and had lunch with Our friends Cami and Lockey. We haven't seen them for so so long and it was super fun to catch up with them. Paris got to go sleep over at Grandma and Grandpa Houghs. She had the best time of her life. She got to go stay at Fox and Maggies house for 2 hours (there dog's that she loves) and then she got to go to the mini chuck wagon races and for a horse ride and to feed the horses. It was like a weekend sent from heaven for our little Paris.

Since B got home i thought i would get his school pictures done.

Have you ever.........

......had a wasp fly up your shorts and sting you so close to your Perineum (thanks Dr. Steed), That you wanted to whip you pants off right there in the middle of your yard to see what the crap hurt so bad, but the only thing stopping you is you know the neighbour is out working in his back yard, So trying to be as brave as you can grab your crotch and run in the house. You proceed to rip your pant off as fast as you can and the wasp comes flying out so you do your best to whip your pants around to kill it, you finally do and then you have time to look at your wound which is turning big and red! No you say it's never happened to you???? Well it happened to me! I'm not exaggerating it's my first sting and boy did it hurt like nothing else!

here are a couple more pictures of the kid's that i edited

This was Blaze running back to me cause i told him i had candy! hehe

Back to school pictures

I took a few back to school pictures of Paris and Blaze today. School starts in a week and a half so i thought i would get a jump on there pictures and get B's done when he gets home. It was pretty sunny out so i got Lot's of shadow's I'll have to try again. I've been trying to get family pictures done but Blaze is impossible you'll notice one picture him running away and another running back only because i have candy in my pocket. So we'll see if the family picture thing happens.

WHAT A SUPER STELLER WEEKEND! That's right i said steller!

So this weekend we packed up and headed down to great falls for our back to school shopping trip. Missy and Ryan and kids came with us and we had a great time!

I have to admit though at times it was like the clampett's go to town. But sometimes that just makes it funner.

The ultimate was dinner the one night we went to applebee's we were a walking gong show! Blaze did not sleep good the night before so he was on the edge, But the kid's were laughing at everything he did so he entertained which got a little inappropriate when he started asking for the peoples food on the table next to us, as soon as we got him back in line he was walking around kissing all the pictures on the wall. Again we ask ourselves why he's so out of control????? So between Ryan's chicken Breasts and my minor indiscretions we made it out alive and with two peoples comments on what well behave children we have..... ( i don't know which children they were watching).

So we got great deals. And i decided it's not so bad to be cheap, and it always helps to be overly friendly well in some situations. Missy and I went to Joann's which in my world is one of the most exciting stops. As we were getting our fabric cut we got chatting with the lady, Turns out she's a huge hockey fan, so we talked a little friendly smack about rival hockey teams. Got up to the front and she checked us out and of course we had no coupons, But our new best friend got us so many coupons and then % off that i paid less then 1/2 price for everything I had and Missy paid 6.49 for something that should have cost $16!

And we also found out it's OK to be super cheap sometimes. Missy and I headed out to Smiths for some great grocery buys, And you know the feeling of exhilaration when you are getting such a great deal it's like a Adrenalin rush in a grocery store (We are total moms) anyway we got so excited about the great deals we didn't read the whole add. So we left the store not so happy cause it cost more then we thought so i said i would go ask why (Brad thinks it's so funny when i do that cause i usually walk away with things the way i want) Anyway It was me and Missy's fault for not reading correctly but again we were super friendly so the lady let us have the discounts anyway and gave us back our $18 each! Again i know I'm cheap!

So all in all we had a super good time, and found super great deals.

Missy and i saw this as a display and decided it was so cute we had to get it. But since i have Blaze i bought it for Mom, She had a better chance of keeping it in one place.
