Just over a month ago I sat down at my computer to begin writing my blog and sharing photos of our summer adventures.  It was then I realized my keyboard on my computer was no longer working.  After weeks of contemplating having it fixed or getting a new one...I've decided it's time to move on.  I've had my computer for nearly seven years which I am thankful for.  In that time it has treated me very well, with the exception of a few minor issues.  But with that being said, I think it is safe to say its days are now numbered.  To make a long story short I haven't been blogging because I haven't had a computer to type on.  We have been looking at new ones and although I've narrowed it down to two that I'm very interested in, we've decided to wait until Black Friday in hopes of getting some special pricing.  So until then, I've patiently been postponing sharing my blog.  However, this past weekend my friendly neighbour (who also happens...

A few weeks ago my hubby managed to get a couple days off work, which is often difficult for him early in the summer...so of course, we made sure to use our time as best we could.  We headed north to Wyvale, Ontario to spend a couple days with his Uncle, who has been renting a cottage there for over 10 years.   It's become a little tradition for us over the years to always make time for a visit.  But needless to say it's also become increasingly difficult trying to fit it in to our busy schedule.  This year we even had to take two cars just to make it happen.  But it was certainly worth it in the end.  We lucked out with the weather and the kiddies had a blast...as they always do! A throwback to 2010 at the same cottage!  Dancing on the beach with my little cousin...fast forward almost 10 years and now she's the one leading.  All grown up but always makes time for her little cousins (Hudson, Georgia, Jack and...

The unpredictable and stormy weather we had that day is what ultimately set the perfect backdrop for the most bad ass team photo ever taken.  But you can't always anticipate the weather, so instead we had to hope for the best and thankfully that day the weather gods were on our side.  Truthfully, the weather was probably the least of our concerns.  We had such a small window of opportunity to get the shoot done in order for the finished product to be ready and sent off in time for it to be printed.  Basically everything over a period of a few days had to fall perfectly into place...and luckily it did.  The entire team was excited and ready to go that evening.  Our photographer (Tim from Timothy James Photography ) arrived just before seven as the sun was beginning to settle behind the trees.  The lighting was just right.  He tried several team photos and poses before managing to capture the perfect shot!  The funny thing is, when it ...

Sometimes I wish I could hire a photographer for every event that we host, because most of the time I'm just too busy to be taking photos.  Thankfully my neighbour and my sister-in-law stepped in this time around and managed to capture some great shots.  But clearly we didn't think to include myself or my hubby in any of them...or half the people at the party -ha!  You guys were not forgotten though, I promise!  We loved having you all there!   So in continuation with my last blog here are the rest of the photos from Irelynn's 2nd birthday...    Have a great weekend!
