Sunny Day (May 26, 2026)

 It was a gorgeous day out there today.

I had a day full of meetings, even had one over my lunch hour so I wasn't able to go for a walk or anything on my lunch hour.

I was feeling exhausted when I got home today, I did sit and play some games on my phone for a bit.

I did make myself go for a walk right after work though.

I didn't run any - didn't have a sports bra on and wasn't up for changing it - it's kind of difficult with my wrist situation.

I called a couple of physiotherapists today to see if I could start working on my wrist situation.

They are booking for the end of June, beginning of July.

But they also said that they couldn't really do anything until I get the go ahead from the doctor so I'm going to go to Emergency on Friday to get a new x-ray and an update from the doctor.

I got a few pictures hung on the wall going to the basement.

Just a couple more to go.

The girls wanted to come over tonight so Kody walked them down.

Freya had my phone so no pictures.

Eden is talking so much more.

I love having them around so much.

When it was time to go, Eden didn't want to.

She took my tablet and went to our room and got in bed saying she wanted to stay.

When Jason said she couldn't, she got under the covers and said she was sick.

Jason said 'Oh no, you're sick, can I do anything for you?'

And then Eden said 'My sick, my need candy'.

Ha ha ha.

She's so funny.

We did finally convince them to go home with the promise that they could stay over on Thursday night.

I didn't end up getting all of my steps in today.

That is all for today, until next time, be happy!

Weigh In Day (May 25, 2026)

I didn't really want to weigh in this morning but I promised myself that I would so I did.

 

I was 244.4 lbs.

Not as bad as I was thinking but still not great.

That's up .4 lbs since last weigh in two weeks ago.

I am going to start using WW properly and tracking my food.

If I do it right, it will work, I just need to do something.

I hopped on the treadmill on my lunch hour.

I just walked today.

I put all these up yesterday to figure out where I wanted to hang a bunch of pictures.

Today I put the nails in the ones that I could reach

I did these ones as well on the wall that I just painted.

I got all of the nails in except the very top row - Jason did those for me.

Then I got the pictures all put up.

These were all from Jason's office but since we are turning that into a room for the girls, we needed a new spot for these.

They are pictures from each of our trips.

Jason picks a picture from each trip, prints it and frames it as a souvenir and I think it's such a great idea.

He hasn't been doing it for the last few years but he's going to go back and get caught up.

There is some room to add more pictures.

We needed to find a spot for the clock from Jason's office too so I had to move some things around.

This idea of tracing the frame of the picture on craft paper, etching where the nail needs to go then being able to hang it on the wall is great.

I can move it around easily until I have it just where I want it then I can nail right through it exactly where the nail belongs.

It works awesome.

Haylee dropped Freya off for a visit, Jason took her and Theia to the skate park on their bikes.

Freya wiped out and got some pretty good road rash and skinned knee so I went down with a wet cloth and picked her up.

They came back to the house and after some noodles and snacks, we took her home.

When Eden saw us, she wanted to come over but of course she couldn't.

She was so upset, just crying and I felt so bad.

I told her she could come tomorrow but I don't think she really understands what that even means.

Jason made us a green curry for supper - it was really good.

I did have the last piece of strawberry desert but think I was still within my points total for today so all good.

Got all of my steps in.

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

Bike Riding, Playing at the Park and Spaghetti (May 24, 2026)

It looks like we are going to have a nice, sunny day today.

 

Freya made this gift for Jason, she's so creative.

After breakfast, Jason went out for a run and a bike ride then when he got back, I headed out for a walk.

When I got back, we all took the bikes down to the park.

It was my first time on the bike this year - a little tough with the wrist/splint situation but I managed ok.

Pushing Eden in the swing.

It had to be Papa that pushed her, Grandma was not allowed.

She didn't even want me to stand in front of her to take pictures.

Freya and some friends on the tire swing.

They wanted Jason to push them too so he was going back and forth.

There was a mini crisis when Freya popped a blister.

Jason biked back to the house to get bandages and Polysporin and he fixed it up for her.

The water park was turned on the other day - someone started it and Eden was right over there.

It wasn't exactly a splash park kind of day but I took her shoes off and let her go for it.

She was just staying along the edges but eventually she just laid right down in a puddle so her pants were soaked.

I thought she would be cold but she didn't seem to mind at all.

We took the girls back home and Jason made spaghetti and meatballs for supper.

Eden liked it.

Yumm-O!

Morgan made the birth announcement public.

I love it.

Our family is growing - so exciting.

Got all of my steps in.

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

Yard Sales and Celebrating Jason and Whitney (May 23, 2026)

My wrist was bothering me this morning - it woke me up super early to take some pain meds and just ended up staying up.

I am still wearing the splint although I do take it off to wash my hands and sometimes in the evening I take it off and just sit with my arm resting on a pillow to have a break.

I guess I will have to go back to Emergency again to find out if it is healed enough for me to ditch the splint and start doing some physio.

Freya got up around 8:30 but Jason and Eden had a dandy sleep in, I think it was after 10 when he got up and Freya went in and woke Eden up after 11.

 

She insisted on wearing her dress to be and didn't want to change out of it today either.

Privacy Please!

Hunter's birthday is today so Freya, Eden and I called him to wish him a Happy Birthday.

The internet wasn't working well this morning so the call kept dropping but we managed to talk for a short time.

This is Yard Sale weekend in town - a bunch of people were having them.

I had the map and so I went out this morning and checked them out.

I was on the hunt for puzzles - I didn't find any.

I did get a kitchen set for Eden and a few other random things.

It took me about an hour then when I got home, Freya and Theia wanted to go check them all out so I went out for another hour with them.

The girls were in and out of the house all day.

Not only did we have Eden, Freya and Theia but Eliza, Revlyn and Luke also came over.

When the yard sales were all over, a lot of people put their leftovers at their curbs for garbage pick up and the kids went collecting all these 'treasures' and were bringing them to me.

It was kind of sweet.

We are having everyone over to celebrate Jason and Whitney so we did some house cleaning.

Even though Jason is the birthday boy he cooked supper.

He made some cheese pizza.

Tricia and Gilles are Vegetarian so we wanted to make sure we had options for them.

Gilles was sick so didn't end up coming but Tricia appreciated it.

Of course he made a couple pepperoni pizzas too.

Then he also cooked up hamburgers and hot dogs.

Jen brought macaroni and potato salad with her.

We invited Crystal and Randy over too because the more the merrier right?

Tricia and Jen.

The birthday boy.

Kalem, Morgan and Randy.

 Morgan shared some news with us all today - She and Kalem are expecting again.

She is due in November so that was very exciting.

The birthday girl - Whitney.

Morgan had her hair in two little pigtails - it looked so cute.

I was trying to get a picture but it was hard with the sun shining in causing a glare.

Kody got there late - he had driven to Red Deer today to look at a truck but it ended up being a dud.

Eden got Uncle Rob to go outside and play with her.

She might have him wrapped around her finger.

She was calling him 'my Robbie Dad' - ha ha, so cute.

Whitney was enjoying the kitchen set.

I thought it was a great deal for $40 bucks.

Happy Birthday.

Blowing out the candles.

She knew just what to do.

The birthday twins.

Eden had Rob's full attention.

Eden and Uncle Rob.

Tasting the desert Mom made.

She made a strawberry desert with whipped cream, strawberries and a strawberry mousse. it was so light and refreshing and delicious.

I loved it.

Everyone really liked it.

Everyone hung out until nearly 9 pm - we played trivia videos on You Tube, it was fun.

Then it was chill time.

Eden ended up falling asleep on the couch cuddled up next to Freya.

Jason took her to bed after about 20 minutes and she didn't make a peep, slept right until morning.

Got all of my steps in.

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

Happy Birthday Jason and Whitney (May 22, 2026)

It's Friday - Yee Haw!

My favorite day of the week.

Also, it so happens to be Jason's birthday. 

I got a reminder from Facebook to let him know that I was thinking about him.

Little MIss Whitney also turned two today, they are birthday twins.

Morgan made a whole little set up for her.

I went out for a walk on my lunch hour today because it was so nice out - I 

When Jason was out for his run, he came across this that someone had set out for the garbage.

We thought it would be good for Eden but when we went back later, it was gone.

The girls came over after Jason and I got home from work.

Freya spent the evening playing with her friend Thiea.

After Theia went home, Freya decided she was hungry and really wanted something to eat.

Nothing we suggested resonated with her then she randomly decided that she wanted pancakes and so her and Jason mixed up a batch.

She cooked them up too - even flipped them herself.

Then she prepared a plate for each of us, mine had yogurt and grapes added.

Jason had grapes and syrup.

Eden's had loads of cucumbers and a watermelon/grape face.

Then her own had watermelon and grapes.

Eden had on the cutest little dress today.

So we all had a little bedtime snack together.

They were actually pretty good.

Got all of my steps in.

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