Crawling!!

My baby girl is crawling!!! As of July 2nd.Very cool! (link to video is in the title)

Bins, Babies and Bobbing Houses

Well... We went to Regina to do some things. It was quite the trip. I mean.. a usually 2 hour ish drive took 3. We followed these 2 houses down 15 hwy. I thought if they didn't turn off at 219, that I would and take 44 across then to the main hwy 11. Well.. I got screwed.. one went south and one kept going...... either way I would gain nothing! As you can see from the pics they took the whole road, and no, there was not a single spot they could pull over safely to let us by(us and the impatient 3 or 4 that passed me, as I wondered where the hell they thought they could go).
This is the view we had across hwy 15 from Outlook to Hwy 11 at Kenaston.
We made it to Regina all good. Next day, shopping and exchange a shock. Well... the shopping was good ish. The exchanging the truck shock.... well that was sh*!, at least until a wonderful lady took over and worked it all out with us. But what a freaking headache! When, have you ever had a shock go on your vehicle when you were at home and able to find the receipt to exchange it? Anyways, did that. dealt with it. done.

James has been busy at the bin yard. I have had some time there... should have more but, one has to break in a baby and an auntie :) Can't just up and leave them. Gwyn had to get to know that Mommy would come back. Now she does much better, than when we first started. This one is a pic of the yard. You can see how organized it is! See his beautiful double row of 18' cones with the rockets in? See the 15' roofs? the 15'cones in the block to wait until the rows are ready! The stack of vents in front of the shed!!! OOH that was lots of work!! Very organized yard. Love it. (he took this pic from the top of a bin at the front of the yard)

This is a pic of Gwyn I got while fooling around with my video cam. I love the pic... think it is beautiful.. so neat with her toys in the background like that!!! Too bad the pic doesn't have better quality.. I would get a bigger size printed!!!

My giggly girl here... Just love my little angel... I sure hope you enjoy these pics... LOL She is 7 months old now!

Well sorry all.. that is all I have time for. I am tired, sore and just done.. time for bed for me.... I hope my girl sleeps well tonight!

Gnighty

My New do

Well, I finally was able to get in for a haircut today. I had been itching to get one for awhile.. and started looking for an appointment last week... When I called yesterday they had an appointment cancel for this morning so I jumped on it! Love the new cut. Really nice gal who cut it too. OOH and of course this first pic is so you can see my sweet sweet girls teeth...never mind mine... LOL Enjoy the pics.

Sorry,

Still no crafting content.... Still been way busy with my little angel. I am hoping though to get into my garden.. right after this posting... and see if I can finish planting it!!! James my sweetest started it. He got the potato, Dill, and Kohlrabi (green and purple). I helped and we planted... half a row of beets, couple hills of spaghetti squash, acorn squash and zucchini. I really want to get out there and finish planting the cucumber, carrots, peas and maybe some spinach and chard for good measure... we will see where we get to. My girl who was down for a nap.... did not snoozy at all.. and instead is up and busy as ever, so, hopefully auntie and she will have a good play while I go dig in the dirt....

Did I mention that the tooth we thought was one.. was 2? and I think she is working on more now...

Can't believe it!

My girl has her first tooth. Yes, it has poked through. It's on the bottom left... or right.. have to double check and write it in her baby book!!

My girl is sleeping in her crib. She took the transition better than her momma and daddy did. We spent that first night sleeping like crap!! She slept from 10 til 1, then had to move her a little and back out like a light... slept til 4 or 6, fed her, back to bed until 8!!! What would be better? Oh She is an awesome little girl!!! I am SO very very proud of her!!!

and that's my excitement... yours?

My Girl... and Happy Mom's Day!!!

Hey, Happy Mother's day to all you mom's out there! And all you grand mom's out there!!!

These are Gwyn playing around in her saucer :)

Happy Mother's day from Gwyn to all her Grand mom's!! -Grandma K., Grandma L., Grandma T., and Great Grandma K too!!

These are my early Happy mom's day flowers.... Daddy figured if he waited... there wouldn't be any good ones left... so Mommy got them early!

Thank you James and Gwyn! for the beautiful flowers! And for being mine....

If you had told me,

If someone told me when I was 25, that I would be 32(very very close to 33), sitting in Outlook with my 5 3/4 month old baby while my husband started building the bins we would finish together in June. I would have told them they were crazy. I may have told them I wasn't having any children..... I may have even told them I was never getting married. But to think, here I am, in a motel suite, looking after my daughter, thinking about my wonderful husband......and realizing how lucky I am, Blessed even.. to have such a beautiful daughter and a loving(though smart arsed)husband that I love to bits. I mean... I could just as easily had some other life. I really almost never did meet my James... He was another long distance relationship... that I never wanted to do again. But we met as friends... well.. one look at him and friends only, was done with. Dumped the sorry ass SOB I was sorta seeing at the time... and the rest is history. Here I sit, plans of more babies. Bins to build. A house to build and make a home(at some near point I hope, but time will tell). Things are good. And yes.. I may spend my very first mothers day(this Sunday) in a motel looking after my girl and my man... but what would be better?
