I Miss You Big Brother.

Today is a day that I will never forget but at times long to forget. It marks the day that you left this world to enter the eternal one. I carry a sadness in my heart that I wish didn't exist. I carry a dream that it is not true, that it was all a big mistake. I carry a hope that we will be re-united one day. At times I find it difficult to remember, because if I am being truthful as time continues to pass your memory becomes just a little bit fuzzier. It saddens me. I want to remember all of it. The good, the bad, the fun, the serious. I want to know that you are happy and at peace most of all, and that you can see our lives as they unfold and share in those moments. I want to feel your peace.

"Q" isms.

Commonnnnn' the midgets are going to get us! ***midge flies*** There were millions no joke.

Look Dad I'm racing the waves. I'm fastest!

My crocs make me run super fast!

Wearing two different crocs at a time and remembering which ones are for the beach and which ones are for other times.

seethroughs. Sea glass. he collected many;)

Back to reality.

So we're back, tanned, rested, relaxed. We had a wonderful time camping, swimming, wave jumping, wave racing, sight seeing, going to amusement parks, and just being us.

For now it's back to reality for me. There are some funny "Q"isms and best and worst momments I will share next time. This morning Q promptly woke up to ask do I have school today. I guess when I said our vacation is over he thought it was time to go back. No not you honey just me. ha.

Vacation Time.

It's here. Vacation time. Finally. This pale, tired, run down mama is on vacation for two glorious weeks. We head out in the morning on our much needed family trip. I forsee sun, surf, and sand in our future, with a little sightseeing and rollercoasters for good measure. Here's hoping that when we return we are reconnected, tanned, and well rested. See ya soon, but hopefully not to soon:)

Beauty.

I made this page on my scrap by candle light weekend. Remember the one?



It's been a bit hectic around these parts lately. With the end of the school year around the corner, school feild trips, talent show tryouts, projects, tests, and parties seem to be in abundance. Add on a stressful inventory at work and you have my life in a nut shell. The countdown has begun for a much needed vacation packed full of fun and some much needed R&R.

First we must graduate from grade 8, grade 6, and kindergarten. This will be the very busiest end of school year for the B household I'm sure.

The kind of "Friends" you don't want to hang around.

Enough said.

My Cousin is a Wierdo.

One of my favorite pages I made by candlelight. It's just a funny layout and will make our family laugh over it for generations I'm sure. I took this picture after our little hike to feed the chicadees. We stopped at Tim Horton's for a snack and my little clown had to make a funny face while eating. You can tell that J thinks he's just a little Wierd by the look on his face.
