A Week of Summer

Our renos are coming along nicely, but taking much longer than I’d anticipated. I was just going to paint, but we’ve ended up doing dry walling and we are doing flooring now too. It’s going to look great when we are done, but I’m already bored of all the extra work. oh. That’s in our office at the church. I forgot to mention that. So anyways, thats why I havent been around much in the blogosphere. I’ll post some pics when we are all done the renos. Then we’ll start on our house.

I guess reason 2 for being too busy to blog was actually that my computer had a sleepover in Kamloops at future shop to get fixed up. Something odd about it needing a tattoo. haha. Who’d have thought I’d have a punk computer. Even my computer has a tatoo. Maybe it needs a piercing to go along with that.

I had a great time on the weekend with Leah, Silas, and Ikey and Juliet. And Mark and Shannon too. Leah chopped off half my hair! I don’t have any pics of it yet, which is good because my flat iron just doesn’t cut it for doing my hair. Leah is sending me one soon. Hurry Leah! But its super awesome. No one recognized me at church. So that was cool.

Today we were driving home for the 108 and Emily was about to melt down and she growled and said “I’m feeling really really bad right now. I’m sooo frust-er-ate”. Morgan and I had such a hard time not laughing at her cuteness.  She showed off last night at the Russ Rosen and Graham Ord concert. She stayed up late and while the band was packing up, she said hi to Graham Ord. This is what she said to him

Em: I’m Emily. E…M…I…L…Y…

Graham: you can spell. How old are you?

Emily: abcd fghijklmno…that’s it!

Graham: wow you are smart. Can you count too.

Emily:1

Graham:2

Emily: 3 (etc. all the way to 10)

It was soo beyond perfect. I love when she shows off. It, of course is never ever when I ask her too. haha. typical. Well. I’m tired already cause I’ve actually made it to spin class this week. Three times next week! There I said it and I signed up so I’m going! I did great today. double time! Here’s some pics from last weekends day at the wild life park. It was soo much fun. Emily loved the animals and the spray park. How great is it to watch an Eagle tear apart a bunny in front of 10, 2-4 year olds. Talk about great timing for the bird exhibit. eww. oh and when we rode the train by this moose Morgan said “Emily, that’s a Moose” and she looked up at him and said “No daddy, that’s a fox”.

Really on summer vacation

Apparently I need to clarify on 2 things. Firstly. Thank you Leah for completely designing my bag and ipod case(which does not normally go with the bag) Still thanks to Jennie for sewing it. I’m excited because “The baronet’s Song” is on its way here tomorrow! Come see me pretty bag. I think there will be new Bags for Zaza next week if you are dying to have your own.

Secondly. I was wearing my wedding dress to a formal dinner. It said wear your formal clothes including prom dresses and wedding dresses. Roxy wore my Prom dress and I wore my Wedding dress. I just like proving I can still wear it. Or I guess I should say, can wear it again because this bod was not so small post Emily. Or pre-Emily for that matter. It was at a ladies conference in May. Super fun taking pictures in a dress.

Emily has got it into her head that she’s the boss and that she knows everything. On our way to daycare yesterday morning she asked me where Nanny and Grampa were. I said “Sweetie, they live in Richmond.” She said “No. They live in Taco!” I’m not really sure what the correlation is between Richmond and Taco, but for some reason I was wrong about my in-laws geographical location. at least in her eyes I was.

We’ve started a huge reno project in my office at the church. We ripped off all the wall paper, the wood siding, the HUGE bookshelves and the nasty borders. I then proceeded to scrap wall paper booger-glue off all of the walls except where the wood paneling was. Neither Morgan or I had done drywalling before, but we had to learn because there were 3 big holes in the wall behind the wood. So we’ve done drywalling and filled the 6 million little tack and dart holes. As a side note: when playing darts, please use a dart board and not just a wall, Thank you! It’s a fun project. It’s turned into more work than I figured, but I’m excited for the finished project. I’m hoping we will be able to paint tomorrow.

I took part of the day today to finish my final exam paper for school. Now I am really out for the summer! I hope I did ok on my paper, but at this point, I just wanted it done! So here’s to summer vacation! And now I’m going to go pick up Em from daycare.

I miss the little pudgekins. See she really didn’t have a neck or wrists. This is from 2 years ago. Oh and I was referring to Emily not my Grama. haha
