What a week!

parties... cupcakes... dentist... camera... doctor... house cleaning... visit... walk!

This week was full, busy, and oh, so good!

 

We celebrated our little boy,

Ranen says 'Mister' turned 1!

We had a few parties for him...

and truth be told - I didn't take very many pictures!!

Mom took 1 picture on Monday evening and

thanks to Sarah I have a few pictures of the friends party ...

 

 

I had fun making Owen's cupcakes into his favourite tractor...

during field work Owen can hear the tractor revving by the end of the road,

beelines to the window and waves as it goes by - so cute!! 

We waited for Owen to wake from his morning nap before having the cupcakes...

hence his zoned out expression!!

so proud to blow out his candle...

After waking up!!

quite like this picture... everyone loving the new gifts!!  Thanks everyone!!

 

One of my favourite things to do...

go out on a walk in our 'back yard!' 

love, love, love...

how he enjoys his chocolate covered digestive cookie

- keeps him quiet and still for part of the way!

 

Climbing the rock pile to throw rocks for the dogs!! 

oh, my dear!! love you!

(just really wish you would leave your hair clips in!!

resorting to a hair cut next week!!)

Some way, some how this picture speaks to me!!

The rolling rock,

the chasing dogs,

the dog with leash dangling because beware if she sees a small dog

(could mean small dog no more!)

Owen strapped in or he would be dangling out, taking everything in

Ranen, head down, mind set on running, in her own world

Daddy in his proud glory with his gang!

(mom - behind camera!!

I am getting better - it only came out for the last 10% of the walk!)

'cotton snowstorm' - so glad I don't have allergies!

 Eagles - ready to make attacks on the heron nests...

 

Our home!!

 

Wednesday I had a little alone time... dentist and a few stops - was good!

 

Thursday - I bought my new camera!!  Oh, what a delight (NOT) to

find that it must be a faulty battery or something!

Battery won't charge - camera wont turn on!! Going back for new battery today...

Like really folks, don't you understand how big a step this is,

and battery's not working just isn't a possibility!!

 

Friday, Owen's 1 year check up :) Love the people at my doc office!

They are truely the best!

Also, got to see the resident doc who took out my stitches in my elbow...

and gave me some of the best news of the week!!

I had a lump removed 2 weeks ago - we knew from an ultrasound

in December that it was a tumour... so they removed it and sent it for testing...

it turns out to be just a benign mass... nothing to be concerned about!

Some people just grow them!

SO, SO THANKFUL!! 

It has been weighing on my mind for months...

One more will be removed from my finger on Thursday...

 

This week:

1st!! drop Treena's canvas off to be shipped to Alberta!!

really hoping to get the soil mixed up with compost and into my raised beds!

Want to get my garden planted along with greenhouse things transplated!

Grass will be getting cut - 2nd cut!

Some much overdue visits planned...

sun, sun, sun

(glad I cleaned house last week - but with this sun, I am going to have

to do my upmost to try not neglect it this week!!)

 

most importantly, spend some quality time with my 'little' brother,

love you Iv!... xo

He is soon to grad - class valedictorian!

His hard work and dedication is paying off...

accepted into the early registration for the bachelor of science program at UFV,

will receive the UFV Excellence Entrance Scholarship!

A true dear, a wonderful Uncle, a fabulous brother!
