Curtis you are 6

Happy Birthday My Sweet Nephew

Dear Curtis,

(dressed as Abraham Lincoln for dress up day) 

I still remember waiting patiently 6 years ago for the call from Mommy that you had arrived, We had no idea if you were going to be a boy or a girl, I cried lots of tears the day you were born, I loved you from the very moment your mommy said she was expecting you. 

I am so proud to be your Auntie, when you came to visit us last summer we had so much fun playing at the park, laughing at your sweet stories, holding your hand, having a sleep over with Brooke in aunties bed, you make us smile and you brighten up our days. 

Auntie loves face timing with you, you always make us laugh a lot. You are a special boy, a big brother now and you love your sister and you let everyone know that she is your sister. 

I love you as if you were my own son, you make me proud just by being you, you are so perfect... 

6 random things about you for your 6th birthday:

You are mommy's special helper. 

You love coffee ( asked for a Starbucks gift card for his bday)

You love school

You sing in the choir now

You make friends easily

You love to run and jump a true boy 

Have the best birthday ever my sweet boy, I would love to be there to celebrate with you but that isn't possible so a face time date it will be. 

Love you so much, to the moon and back, to infinity and beyond. xoxoxo

Auntie T and uncle A
and best cousin Brooke ( only cousin so i can say that)

Happy Birthday Dad

Happy Birthday to the First Man i ever loved

My Daddy 

Dear Dad,

So glad to have spent another year with you on this earth, your accident last week had us all scared but so glad you are ok.

I thank you for every thing you have ever did from when I was first born to now 31 years later, you still say i'm your little girl even though I am the oldest, I get spoiled by you, I can confide in you, I can share secrets with you. 

You always make sure we are home before you can sleep and you have always been that way. 

Thank you for raising me to know Jesus, for bringing me to church, for teaching me to follow my heart, thank you for saying Yes when Andrew asked you for me, walking me down the aisle, giving me away. It was the happiest day of my life to have you by my side

When we told you, you were going to be a Grandpa- you were so excited for that first baby, you treat her like a princess, you spoil her in all the right ways . When she was born you drove 9 hours to see her so you could see her for her first day on this earth, i still remember at 10 pm when you came into my room at the hospital and held her for the first time.

How you prayed for me when I was going for my lung surgery, having you walk to the OR doors gave me a peace over the situation. 

I could sit here all night and write all the reasons I am thankful for you. 

Dad we are so fortunate to have you in our lives. 

May this be the best birthday year for you. 

Love,

T

It's Ok Link Up

It's Ok
- I am working an 11 hour shift today on 4 hours sleep #cranky much

- Im wishing today was over already so I could be snuggled up in my bed watching hockey

- there is alot of candy treats on my desk #incentives

-I am dreading the next two days without my supervisor

- that i got upset with another supervisor today bc i am tired of him picking on people on our team, we are awesome and we rock it and he isnt happy, so I had enough and kindly told him if my supervisor has an issue she can come to us #badmood

Weekend Recap

Friday:
Woke up to a sick baby girl who had no school today but couldn't go to day care, she felt like she was going to be puking, so i gave her medication and we went back to bed for another hour or so and then Daddy stayed home with her while I went to work- So thankful that he is able to stay home when it's needed, my hubby has the best job in the world, he works hard for us and it shows how much his employer respects him from his pay scale and the raises he gets.
When I got to work I realized I was an hour late, I was supposed to work at 8 am and I didn't get there til 9, I couldn't believe I was late, I always work 9-5:30, oh well it happens. I made up for it though bc I had a great sales day, so my supervisor was ok with it, not that she wouldn't be anyway, I can't say it enough she is incredible. a Co worker brought me an early present

Left at 2 pm for treatment, it was one of the better ones for sure, came home and took a nap with my baby girl while we sent daddy out to get groceries ( i am not a grocery shopper, worst chore ever) for dinner we just did
Honey garlic wings, BBQ wings, jalepeno poppers and mozza sticks while we watched the game.

I then did some more work to a slide show presentation that i am working on for Pastor Appreciation Sunday (20th), I am not the best at doing those things, but i am hoping i can get it to work out

Saturday: the day i become another year older- I felt so much love, facebook was blown up all day with over 200 people sending me wishes, plus the private messages and the text message, the phone calls and the in person messages i got so emotional because I had no idea I was so loved.
Brooke made me breakfast in bed this morning

this was the best french toast i have ever eaten, It is one of my favourite things to have for breakfast. 

We went into town and did some shopping,  went and visited the new Super Centre Wal Mart- it was crazy busy but it was nice and great prices, I wanted to find some shoes for my birthday but I couldn't find anything I liked.. so I'll keep my birthday money from my parents and wait til I find something. 

Brooke had a birthday party at 2 pm, so we dropped her off and hubby and I had a date, we had a great time together, love that man so much, Brooke got the coolest Tattoo while at the party

 

it is the first time i have seen this and it is amazing and cool. 

We went to dinner at Montana's, i got their fajitas and this apple cobbler for dessert

We went shopping at the fish store after dinner, I wanted a new fish and I got one, I will share pictures later but right now i'm to lazy to go down stairs and take one. 

Birthday Presents were:

3 dresses

1 jacket

Iphone case

stationery stuff

money

some of the girls at work got me some things as well. They treat me well 

Tidied the house a bit when I got home- I didn't do any deep cleaning because its my birthday and I shouldn't have to right :p

This sweet baby girl {Melita} was born today at 8:06 pm on my birthday, her momma is a great friend of mine that works with me, I am so ticked and I cannot wait to meet her tomorrow

it made my birthday that much more special to share it with her. 

Congrats Tara, I am so proud of you. 

Sunday:

I helped out in Sunday School today because of the long weekend here, the SS teacher that took over my class has gone away for the weekend for a wedding, so I helped out. 

The kids had a cake for me and sang Happy Birthday, was so nice to be there again. 

My Secret Sister gave me a birthday present as well, I feel so loved. 

Moses and his girlfriend came over after sunday night service and we had nachos and watched hockey:) 

I fell asleep early and felt so rude but I couldn't stay awake. 

Monday

Thanksgiving here in Canada-

WE got invited out for Thanksgiving lunch, it is a big deal here to have a turkey with all the fixings for Thanksgiving, it was a lovely time. 

There were beautiful desserts as well

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Pumpkin Pie

apple Crumble that was truly the best I have ever eaten.

We had a great time then we took a drive to this place

I love Covered bridges, this isn't a great picture because it was dusk and it was raining, I was so excited that it is so close to us 

We had a great Long weekend, Have you?
