Well, hello...
welcome to my NEW blog!!!
Us: Documented.
most of you won't be surprised to learn that last week, i ran out of memory in my blogger album account ( HAHA ) so that meant either starting to delete a bunch of my first, original posts to make room or buy more memory for a year at a time...
BUT, creative soul that i am, decided that i do NOT want to delete any of my older posts, dating back to 2007 when I first started my blog, and that the only practical decision would be to just start a new one!!!
i still look back on my old, old posts...it's really a journal for me, and i love seeing my family's lives there, in photographic therapy, and reflect on where we were, to where we are now in our lives....how can one erase those memories???
so, here begins Part Two in my blogging world!
i will be making some changes and updates to the blog as i become more familiar with the new change, but for now, i just wanted to update this last week for you!
this was taken during my snuggle playtime visit with Oliver last night...he is my little buddy, that's for sure!
...I am going to go back to share a few things from Mother's Day with you...since that's the day that i discovered that i apparently take too many pictures for Blogger to keep up with me!
HAHAHAHA!!
these were my school gifts that tyler had made for me...i LOVE my little green book, and the butterfly remains on the fridge!
...and my fun card that courntey made me...
(i think it's pretty funny that she is clipping R-Patz pics from her Teen Magazines to add to my cards lately...)
...and for supper, tyler had asked if i could make homemade meatballs and rice-a-roni for supper...
so since it was Mother's Day, and now i had to cook, i made him help me roll all the meatballs!
a boy should know how to cook, anyway!
...we had Mom and Airiel come and join us for dinner too...
...adding on another favorite - corn on the cob and spinach salad!
Hmm....
on May 10th's dance lesson, courtney had a real good hornpipe and jig workout with her teacher...
...and during her lesson, i got a text from TYLER on mike's blackberry!!!!
what a kid!
...also on may 10 was my niece Airiel's 20th birthday!!!
i just loved looking at all her old baby pic's, and selecting this one to share on Facebook as well!!
heheehee!
...my, how 20 years fly by...
Happy Birthday again, kiddo...we love you lots!!

...may 11 was an exciting day...well, for tyler anyway!
i joined his classroom on a field trip to Assiniboine Park Zoo!!!
i haven't been there since i went with courtney's class in grade 1!
i guess it was time...
...and then that day was his much anticipated big bowling banquet to wrap up his first year in bowling!!
it was held at St. Emile Hall on St. Anne's and he was most excited to get going!
we had a buffet style dinner, which was most enjoyable and then on with the presentations...
much to all of our excitement, tyler walked out with a whack of awards...i was starting to feel a little guilty after a while...but he has worked hard and accomplished so much in his first year, and we are very, very proud of you little man!!! keep up the great work!
tyler bowls as a bantam bowler and in his division, he won:
-Most Improved
-Family Twosome with Mike ( parents scores didn't count )
-2nd place roll-off's - Championship Division
and...
Bowler of the Year for Dakota Lanes Bantams!!!
...however, sad news for me the next night on American Idol...
...you all know i've been rooting for James Durbin since auditions, and last thursday night,
he was the next Idol cut from the competition.
soooooo sad for him, i cried right along with him.
BUT....he is sooo talented, i know he will be going on to recording in the near future...
this won't be the last of James Durbin!!!!!
ROCK ON JAMES, ROCK ON...
x0x0
...i really don't give a rat's butt who wins now of the three left.
i don't like any of them in particular, but this is all only my opinion!!!
i will only watch the finale, in hopes that Steven Tyler stays true to his word and sings a song with James!!!
and i promised myself to never get sucked into another season of American Idol again...
it's frustrating enough with my other obsession...
So You Think You Can Dance!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
...be back soon...
:)
