Weigh In Day & Car Shopping (July 14, 2025)

Monday and that means weigh in day.

I was 227 lbs.

That's actually down from last weigh in but overall, I'm not doing so hot this year.
I haven't really been careful with what I'm eating so not surprising.

I did hop on the treadmill briefly at lunch but I got home late then I had to be back early for a meeting so 20 minutes was all I had time for.

Haylee is in the market for a car - she found this one that she is looking at and a few others.
She is doing deliveries for a pizza place in town and needs a car to do it so Jason and I are considering helping her out.

Just wish I knew more about cars and what is a good deal and what isn't.

She was doing deliveries tonight so I had the girls all evening.
Freya was on my phone pretty much the whole time so I didn't get any pictures.

Kody picked the girls up when he got off of work and that was the evening.

That's all for today, until next time, be happy!

Putting My Sense of Humor to the Test (July 13, 2025)

I woke up when Jason was leaving for work and he said he had a gift for Freya and I that he worked on for an hour this morning but we had to open it together.

It was an envelope with both of our names on it.

He always gets me a trip for Christmas and often puts the paperwork in an envelope like this so I was kind of thinking that maybe he got Freya and I a trip to the city or something.

Boy was I about to get a huge surprise.

Opening the gift Papa gave us together.

 

He had a pictogram message for Freya.

I love you to the moon and then the baboon's ass is kind of an inside joke.

This was my gift.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

He just cracks me up so much.

Freya made me a present too - much better than the one Jason left for me earlier.

She just loves making little crafts like this.

The loves writing too even though she doesn't quite know how to read or write yet.
She especially loves cursive writing - I love her attempts at it - they are so pretty.

She also drew me a picture of the Northern lights.

Chilling with Hazel.
She doesn't always want to cuddle with the kitties but she was into it today.

Hazel looks like she wants me to leave and let Freya love on her.
So I did.

It was a quiet day - we just kind of hung out at the house all day.
When Jason got home, he took her to the park for a bit before taking her home since we both have to work in the am.

That's all for today, until next time, be happy!

Our Kitties, Petting Zoo, Splash Park & Trying Something New (July 12, 2025)

Jason sent me some pictures he took of the kitties this morning before he left for work. 

Hazel.

Paddington

Professor Snuggles hiding on the shelf in the basement.

Paddington again - he's such a nice kitty.

Paddington and Hazel watching Jason leave for work.

The girls in their swimsuits ready to go swimming again at the hotel pool before we checked out.

We were going to go to a folk fair downtown Edmonton but we had a hard time finding it then when we finally did, it didn't really look that great so we found a flower fest thing to go to instead.

It was way over by Spruce Grove/Stony Plain so it was a bit of a drive to get there.

There were some picture opportunities as soon as we got in there, like Lenny the Earthworm.

So of course Freya had to get a picture with him.

There was a cookie booth with delicious looking cookies so we got a half dozen to try.
They were pretty good.

There was a petting zoo for the kiddos so Freya went in to see the sheep.

She wasn't afraid to go ahead and pet them.

Eden wasn't so sure.

She tried petting them when Mom was with her.

She was a bit excited and the animals kept running away so they tried having her sit in a chair to see if the animals would come to her.

The animals were interested in what Freya might have.

Here little sheep.

She had some seeds to feed them.

She liked the animals.

Bye - Until next time.

They had some goats there for the kids to interact with as well.

Eden wasn't shy about getting right in there.

There was also a donkey.

I think the donkey might have been Freya's favorite.

There was a miniature pony too.

The pony was right up there with the donkey.

Eden meeting the pony with mom.

She liked it.

Ok - what next?

Of course we had to take a picture of the girls on a giant chair.

When we left there, it was such a nice day that we decided to take the girls to the splash park in Spruce Grove.

Me and my girlie.

Eden was loving it.

Stopping for a minute to have a snack.

And she's off.

Cooling off and having fun.

Trying to balance on Mommy's back.

We would have hung out for longer but they turned off the splash park for some reason - said it was going to be down for a bit so we got ready to leave.
It turned back on just as we were getting up but since we were packed up, we just decided to go anyway.

We did take the girls to the park next door for a bit - Freya wanted to show off her skills.

She really is good at this, strong too.
I don't even think I got move from one to the next let alone across a whole bunch of them like she does.

Eden was running around having fun at the park too, checking things out.

She's learning to go up and down stairs by herself.

Steering the ship.

Looks like she's in jail!

We let the girls play for a bit then it was time to go.
Crystal and Zepplyn stayed another night in the city so Haylee and the girls came home with me.

Eden went home with Mom but Freya came and spent the night at our place.

When Jason got home from work, he took her down to the skate park.

She's really good on her roller skates.

Having a rest.

They stopped over to see Dakota and Capri on the way home and they had a pogo stick so she gave it a try.

It took a couple tries.

But she got it.
Perseverance pays off!

That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
