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!

Sleeping Beauty (May 21, 2026)

 The girls slept over last night since both Kody and Haylee were working so we had to get them up and ready this morning.

Sleeping beauty.

She refused to take her dress off last night and wanted to sleep in it.

I hate having to wake them up when they look so peaceful and comfy.

I did some running on my lunch hour again today.

This time I ran for 2 minutes at a stretch then walked for 3 mins.

Making progress already.

My hair is looking so frizzy - I really need to get it washed.

I'm avoiding because I know it is going to be full of tangles.

I worked late tonight then picked Eden and Freya up on my way home.

Freya wanted to go to the park and Jason took them down when he got home.

I opted to have a nice warm bath and do some finger exercises - they are coming along but slowly.

I also got my hair washed finally - it was very tangled and it took some work to get them out but I managed.

Ethan got his beginner's today - WHAT!%$#@

Where in the heck has the time gone!

He's just about an adult.

Kody picked the girls up from the park so Jason and I had a little time to ourselves when he got home.

Fitbit has changed up again.

Took me a bit to figure out how to go back and find my daily totals which is kind of frustrating but I did it eventually.

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