We are still here....

Things always get busy so blogging gets neglected...here goes a little about what's been keeping us busy.

Another school year is almost finished. Evan will be done this Friday. Megan not until the end of this month. So of course it is only polite to thank the teachers who have made a positive impact on my children's lives and had to entertain them, sorry I mean had the privilege to teach them this year. I think that teachers have one tough job....right behind being a parent.
I have this crazy obsession with teachers and apples...last year apple smelling candles...this year irresistible apple hand soap and fresh apple had sanitizer with a thank you card. (big sale on at Bath and Body Works. I got the soap for 1.34 and the sanitizer for .50 with the rubber carrying case for .50; I already had the cards. Total for this gift including card...$2.50) Awesome!



Here it is all wrapped up. Ready to go.

At the end of May I threw a baby shower for my sister and it turned out really great. She has a lot of great friends and a loving ward family to support her not to mention an awesome family. Megan and I travelled down to throw this shower for her. It was too quick of a trip. Megan said upon leaving Airdrie (after visiting with my brother and sister in law and family) that she didn't want to leave...why not I asked? Because this is where all my cousins are that are my age....that one pulled at my heart strings. I'm glad that she had a good time.




Parties are always fun to plan, but executing them is another story. Always so much work and you don't want to forget anything and you want it to be a fabulous party. Consider this the start of many party planning days ahead. June is the start of our family birthdays not to mention Canada day and a RS Mid-week picnic that is going on.....ahhhh. Sorry kids for neglecting you and sorry for a messy house....things will slow down soon I hope.
