Vegas .. finally..

Me on the monorail thingy at the airport, just landed as you can see I was very happy to be there.
Slot machines at the airport.. very cool
Me at Mandalay Bay.. if it looks like i was annoyed.. your right!! Long story lol
Inside Ceasars Palace.. awesome hotel!
Outside The Wynn.. my favorite hotel in Vegas so fancy
Hope George doesnt get mad..

Big ass slot machine..
Bellagio fountain.. amazing to see
Mirrors EVERYWHERE in our hotel room.. on the ceiling all over the walls..very funny..



Here are just a few pictures from our Vegas trip. I have a crap load more to post. We had an amazing time and we cant wait to go back.

The next few posts will be mostly pictures. I have alot from Winnipeg to put up as well.. you are warned..

Last week until school starts. I cant believe how fast this summer went by. It probably didnt help that we were childless for 5 weeks and just got back to TO. Amy is excited for grade 1 and Jarret says he isnt excited but I think he will be happy to see all his friends again.

Thats that for now..

Winnipeg

So we went to Vegas and it was amazing. I will post some pictures later as I am not in Toronto I am in Winnipeg. I cant believe how fast that month went by with the kids out here. I was very happy to see them and I think they were happy to see me.

When I came down the escalators to see my kids I also saw my sister and her kids.. my brother and sister in law and their kids my mom and my gramma!! What a welcome I received!! I met my niece Anna and man is she beautiful!! She let me carry her around pretty much all day and she fell a sleep on me. She knows how to make her Auntie happy :)

Kelsey left that afternoon on her trip with her dad so unfortunately I only had a few hours with her which I am glad I did but I wish she was here longer.

Thats that for now.

I am off to get ready for the day..

The first week they stayed with Chris and Denise. This week they are with Char and Kenny.

I have talked to the kids every day since they have been gone. They are having a really good time. No time for being homesick which is great. I love they have this time to bond with their cousins. This trip was well needed.

George and I have been pretty busy since they left and he got back from his second business trip to Hawaii. It is strange without the kids around.. but I am so glad they are having so much fun.


My official last day of work is August 1st and i will be heading to Winnipeg for a 2 week visit and to bring the kids home August 21st. Cant wait for my visit with everyone.

Oh yeah.. George and I are going to Las Vegas on Saturday for a few days. I have holiday's next week. This will be our first trip together. No kidding. Very excited!!

Ok.. thats that..

My mom arrived last Wednesday, it is so nice to have her around. She is only here until Thursday and she is taking the kids with her back to Winnipeg. They are so looking forward to seeing their Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and Great Gramma!! They will be there until August. It will be so strange with no children around. I will definitely miss them!

I had an eye appointment on Saturday with a new eye doctor. She dilated my pupils to check the back of my eyes.. well she found 2 dots or spots or whatever on the back of my left eye and is referring me to an retina specialist to see if i will need laser surgery to prevent them from bursting. Little nervous about that.. but she said not to worry too much about it.. umm.. ok if you say so??

I go back to work today after a nice relaxing week off.

My coffee is ready and my stomach is growling.. so I am off..

The picture is from George's trip to Australia thought it was cute and had to throw it in

Splash Park fun with Amy







Yes i do have another child.. you wouldn't think that from the last few posts.. but in this situation Jarret decided that staying home with dad playing PS3 was a better idea (next time he will come with us). I let him have his way this time.

I am on holiday's this week. The kids last day of school is Wednesday.. and my mom comes in on Wednesday! Very excited.

George is heading back to Hawaii on July 1st to the 8th.. I will be without children (they will be in Winnipeg) and without husband for a few days.. whats a girl to do?

SK Kindergarten graduation

Today Amy graduated from Kindergarten. There was a ceremony with her class singing and dancing for the parents. It was so cute. She was so excited and she did a great job.

We took her to her favorite restaurant to celebrate. We had a good day.











Not sure whats happening with my hair???

We have been dog sitting Cohiba for the last few weeks. Having so much fun with him.. he is going home i think today or tomorrow.

Love the above pictures of him destroying his stuffed toy. It didnt take long until the stuffing was out.. it was cute to watch.

George is back from Hawaii. He brought back gifts for all of us. I will take some pictures of Amy in her grass skirt and coconut bras and Jarret wearing his shark tooth necklace and post maybe tomorrow.

I have a crappy bladder infection and the meds aren't relieving the pain fast enough. Not cool.

Thats it for now.. quick post..

Michael Bublé - Everything

I am OBSESSED with this man right now.. this man and this song!! Look at him.. how cute is he?

"And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can." is my FAVORITE line in this song.

He makes me smile, good Canandian boy!!!

Conversation between a brother and sister

Sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch..

Amy: "I want kids when I get married"

Jarret to Amy: "If you have a girl what will you name her?"

Amy: "Angel"

Jarret: "If you have a boy what will his name be?"

Amy: "Ron"

I didn't even know she knew the name Ron let alone name one of her future children that name.. thought it was cute!

Jarret did awesome last night! He was loud, he wasnt too fast or too slow he was just perfect!! There were 6 performances last night Jarrets class was the first to go on. That was fine.. but people were still arriving as as you can hear in the back ground making a shit load of noise. I was getting so annoyed, but what can you do? The other "plays" were cute too.. but of course i am bias to say Jarret's was the best :).





Here he is before he went on.. so cute :)

Good job Jarret!!!!

Few things...

-Took Amy to the doctors last Thursday because her throat was sore to the point where she was almost in tears. The doctor did a swab to rule out strep throat he thinks its just a virus but he will only call if there is a positive result. I receive a phone call at 9pm last night from the doctors office saying he wants to see Amy about her results. Umm.. ok.. she hasn't complained since the weekend about her throat.. but sure I'll come in. So going today at 9am. Little nervous not sure what to expect.. she seems fine.

-Jarret is in a play tonight. Its to do with the Pioneers he is the narrator cant wait. I wish I spoke French so I can understand it but I am sure I will get the jist of it and just to see him up there will be AWESOME.

-Jarrets 3rd tooth finally fell out. Now he has a nice big hole in his mouth.. cute stuff!!

-Still no word on work. Waiting to get my letter to tell me when my last day is, just would like to know .. you know?

-George is going to Hawaii in 2 weeks for 2 weeks for work. Very excited for him but I am a bit jealous lol.

-My mom comes to Toronto at the end of June to get the kids to bring them back to Winnipeg. They are so looking forward to their visit with everyone!

Thats it..

*** Edited***

I said above I took Amy to the doctor last week.. correction it was almost 2 weeks ago. And they just received the results yesterday? Anyway.. the doctor said she has strep throat. He said the lab had the positive results 2 days after but they didn't send the office the results until this week. Thank GOD Amy wasn't in any pain. I have had strep before and it is NOT pleasant. Anyway, its all good. She is more upset that she had to miss school today.

TFC....TFC...TFC...!!!!!!!!


Its the home opener today at BMO Field and we are going. I have never followed soccer but man is it fun. The atmosphere is amazing. I have never seen fans like these soccer fans!! You get caught up in the craziness its insane fun I tell ya!!

This is only the second year for The Toronto Foot Ball Club and for BMO Field. This is George's project when we moved here 2 years ago. He was the one from Ticketmaster in charge of getting them in there and running smoothly. This is his baby.

The game starts at 1230 but we will be there for 11 so George can be there in case of any scanning issues, which there shouldn't be since George installed everything :)

In other news.. I am freaking out off and on about the lay offs at my work but I know its not the end of the world. People get layed off all the time and bounce back. I just HATE job hunting.. I am HORRIBLE in interviews and the timing couldn't be WORSE!! Ok.. maybe I am still freaking out more then I thought I was.

Anyway.. that's about it
