I Heart Quotes!

What a week!  It's definitely been a busy one, that's for sure...

Here is a picture of our team for the Heart and Stroke Golf Tournament from the weekend.  It was sooooo much fun and the group of girls couldn't have been any better!  I can't wait for next year.

Grippin' n' Rippin' for Randy

We played in memory of Randy, Erin's Dad.

Seeing as Canada Day is this Friday we have a short work week!  Even better, seeing as my bosses are amazing, we work only 1/2 a day Thursday.  I am definitely looking forward to a long weekend full of family, fun and loads of sunshine (hopefully).

Tonight is Cole's last night of kinderball and they will have a game and then a bbq with some awards for the kids.  Here are a couple pictures of his first night.

What are your plans for the long weekend?

Breaking The Ice

I've seen this on a few blogs (Jenn, Aly, Lena and Stacy) today so I'm joining in and linking up for the first time with Jenn over at Perfectly Imperfect, for her Breaking The Ice linky party.

 

1}Tell one thing not many people know about you.

I am allergic to bananas.

 

Weird, I know...and super sad as they have sooooo many health benefits.
 If I eat a banana my throat gets itchy, my face, hands and tongue swell and I feel like I am choking.  The first time it ever happened by face became a tad bit distorted...at a wedding reception...freakshow much?

2}If you HAD to change your first name, what would you change it to?

Like most people, I always wanted to change my name growing up.  I always wanted to be Julia, Jessica or Corey.  Now if I HAD to change my name I would change it to Bronwyn.

3}What are you 3 favorite songs at the moment?

Still loving Rihanna & Will I Am's Photographs

Although I didn't love the movie, this song has definitely been playing on my drive to work in the morning

Garret Hedland, Timing is Everything

I know, I know, old news...but it's just such a great song (and performance)

P!nk - Glitter in the Air

4}List 3 goal on your life's to-do list:

Win the lottery

Do volunteer work on a regular basis

Have more babies

5}What is one of your favorite quotes:

I have two and can't choose just one. :)

6}Fill in the blank: If I had an extra 10 dollars to spend... I would buy _______________?

Starbucks non-fat with whip hot chocolate

(does anybody else LOVE Starbucks at Christmas time?  I absolutely do!  It's always so festive and cozy...I look forward to the Christmas cups...weird I know!)

7}What's your birth date?

October 27, 1982

8}Do you have a hidden talent and if so what is it?

None at all, in fact I am actually talentless.

Unless you count being able to carry a tray full of glasses on your head a talent?

I didn't think so...

9}What do you think of when you hear the word blue?

Turks and Caicos water...beautiful blue...sigh

10}Finish this thought: I need....

a nap or a vacation back to Turks and Caicos...either will do really

Father's Day Gift Idea

Amanda over at Mom of Two Boys (who is adorable and so sweet by the way!) posted a great DIY Father's Day gift idea and it is A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.

If you haven't yet picked up/made that special gift for the father figure in your life, this will definitely be a hit...heck even if you have, who wouldn't love this.  It is seriously so cute and so sweet, it will melt a grown man's heart.

Thanks Amanda for the idea, hopefully mine will turn out as cute as yours.  I'm going to borrow the hubby's fire boots I think and pair them with Cole's fire rubber boots...or maybe I'll do their camo hunting boots...oh the possibilities!

Happy Father's Day!

Recipe Help

We have some family fun planned for this weekend and I plan on making a macaroni salad with creamy dressing.  So I am coming to you for help...do you make a mean macaroni salad?  If so, dish (no pun intended), the recipe that is...

Weekend Rap-Up

Yes, I'm aware it's already Thursday night and that I am only now posting about last weekend, but what can I say?  It's been a busy week!  Last weekend we played in the first annual D.I.F.D. softball tournament and what a blast it was.  Even though our team lost both games, we had such a great time and supported a great cause.

Back in November Jill posted such a touching post about Daron's extremely tragic death and how her family and the community stood up to help raise awareness to mental health in youth.

The ball tournament was only part of last weekend's festivities as the girls who put on the event (Hailey, Kegan and Bria) thought of EVERYTHING.  From organizing the teams (all 20 of them), creating a schedule, getting people to call the games and score keep, to a silent auction, food, bar, music and the NHL finals, everything was covered.  These three girls did an outstanding job and the pictures below show just some of the fun had.  From what I understand, a good amount of money was raised to help the D.I.F.D Youth Mental Health Initiative set-up at the Royal Ottawa Hospital.

Oh right...the pictures...as promised Jen and Sheri... :)

 Hi Jen!!! :)

{all photos from Sheri - thanks love}

Once again, I just want to say what an outstanding job Hailey, Kegan and Bria did.  So proud of you all and so happy to be a part of something so great.  Looking forward to next year.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Blah

I'm in a mood today and it's not overly pleasant so I'll spare you a Debbie Downer post.

Hope you are all having a happy day!

I just hit 100 followers today and I just want to say thank you so much to all of you that read my random, sporadic posts.  Blogging has become such a fun outlet and I have 'met' so many amazing people.  The support that you receive from the blogosphere is so wonderful and I am truly lucky to have found all of you.

Hopefully I can think up something fun for the next big milestone here on my blog, possibly a fun giveaway sometime in the near future.

Thank you all so much and have a beautiful, sunny Wednesday!!!

Weekend Fun

We are participating in the first annual D.I.F.D. weekend long ball tournament with friends.  We have a really fun team and I can't wait to spend some time with friends, as well support a great cause all while remembering a special young girl.

Sunshine

We have been lucky enough to have finally gotten some sunshine over the past couple of days.  The weather has been all over the map the past month (mostly rain) and I'll be happy to see it come to an end.  I lurve me some sunshine and a wee tan.
