Oh Sunday !

We started our weekend out rocky with going to the farm to "TRY " to set up the new trampoline and ended up sucking water out of the basement . Although on the up side.(WAIT I know what you are thinking water in the basement and there is a Up side . Well my girl Addyson at 2 weeks old made us realize things can always be worse ,so LOOK for the upside my friends .) it seems that it was just caused by the power being off for quite sometime ,so the SUMP was not able to run .SO for future reference when power goes off get our butts down to the farm .
So Sunday we had a great time as we were invited to some friends for a BBQ .
Here's a picture of Izzy and her dad hanging on the deck while the rest of the kids ,ran ,dug ,jumped and screamed of FUN !

Our wonderful supper grilled salmon ,caesar salad,garlic toast and asparagus!!DELISH !

Their dog Bingo that was hanging out on the deck with us .BINGO enjoyed having Addy as a supper guest.HEHEHE!

One thing Addy and there son Jimmy have in common they both love HOCKEY !

THANKS to the Johnson Family for having us over .What a great way to spend our Sunday night !

R.I.P Baby Kitties

Sad to announce that we no longer have four baby kitties .It seems as if a tom cat has came into our yard found where they were and had killed them one by one. And yes I am alittle disappointed as we had someone else's farm dog and someone else 2 farm cats ,so It would of been nice to have one that was ours . I had told the kids they could keep one.Addy didn't really understand that we had kitties , but I will have to tell alittle boy tomorrow ;(
I am quite sure our farm will see more baby kitties on it though some day .

Yes its coming true.

I am really close to being a "Manitobian" .Yes I made this word up and I really mean no harm .Its just been alot of change and you all will have to hear me complain to the end!

HEART...

"The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart . "

This is how a mothers day usually rolls . Don't mind me . One of those days where I didn't get a bath til dad got home and was wearing what I went to bed in .A little self portrait .Scary was unsure if I wanted to do this and then post it but what the hell it is what it is . Baby on the hip . I find that I carry Izzy a lot more then I did Addy ,but I think that's because the whole leaving her unattended with her sister around while i am getting a task done . Addy has been known to lay on top of Izzy's belly although she never cries when shes doing this YET. Its sometimes is just easier .

Caught Up ???

Caught up really what does this mean ??
-I have been trying to catch up on the kids scrapbooks .( who am I kidding I haven't even started either of the girls and about 2 years behind on Dayton's?That's why maybe my love for mini books have been a great passion these days
-catch up on the laundry who am I kidding unless we start to become nudist that's never going to happen .
-keep the house caught up on all house hold chores in my wild dreams will that come true
-catch up on sleep . SLEEP really does anyone out there get there required 8 hours . If you do. do you have kids and a dog and now two yards to keep mowed another dog and two farm cats one in which is pregnant and to have babies sometime soon.
-trying to keep up to printing all my pictures or at least saving them on discs . But how in the world does one do this when I have addiction of taking pictures almost 50 - 150 a day OOPS!
-trying to keep my blog updated which I will go back and back track to keep family and friends up to date with the busy happening of the crazy Jone's . My husband would say that only the women in his family are crazy not him .


Well wish I would catch THE caught up bug and until then I will just keep enjoying my wild and crazy life .
Over and out until tonite when the house goes to sleep and I am still up trying to catch up on all the fine details of life . Stay tune for update blog posts tonite !
IF you have any secrets on how to get Caught up please share .

Took these two cuties to our farm for a picnic .

Somewhere over the rainbow ...

We may run ,walk , stumble ,drive, or fly , but let us never lost sight of the reason for the journey,or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way . UNKNOWN.

* Addyson has become a huge fan of rainbows and spotted this one on her own on our way out to our farm .Kind of one of those stop to smell the roses kinds moments seeing how our day was one of hustle and hurry kinda days .Thanks Addy for showing mommy the way *

5 months already ....

well 5 months already .SO many things come to mind that you seem so big to me compared to your sister and that this experience with you was so very different at so many different levels.

- I have managed to breast feed you FULL TIME up til now. You seemed to be needing more, just was not full or craving something more . But that was fine by me as I didn't think I would be able too . SO ladies there is hope I had a very difficult time breastfeeding my first and could not full time so we breast fed and formula feed which if you ever done that its very stressful and makes you feel not good enough .

-You have been a rolling machine from front you to back and back to front although front to back has been your favorite

-You are not a huge fan of your cereal or banana so far

-you are sensitive little girl and that has been hard for me to adjust too as your sister is a tomboy at heart although she can get all dressed up too.

-you like too cuddle

-You are not a fan of the jolly jumper yet but we will keep trying

-Have not become addicted to the T.V as of yet

-I am not sure if you will be a mamas girl or daddies girl ,but know you will become one .

-You do not like a soother or your thumb which is OK to me

-You may have a blanket some day as you little to go to sleep with a soft blanket have not choose a favorite as of yet (not sure how i feel about this but sure I can learn to deal )

-You may have allergies or childhood asthma like your mom (SORRY )

-I fear you and your brother will never have the same relationship as your sister has with him this makes me cry

All and all its been a wonderful journey I hope will never end . Happy 5 months baby girl !

XOX Mama

how does this happen

That both my girls regardless of there ages they both have the same eatting skills . MESSY !!!

Be Clear .

I asked Addy to clear her dishes from the breakfast table indeed she did that literally . I later went to through out some garbage and there it was . Can you imagine if that's how it worked ? And also wonder how many times she has did that already ??

*****Lesson to mamas out there be really clear on what you want to have done *****

BLING !

Today my friend Jana announced her launch of her new fabric jewellery line and I knew I had to have one . SO i told her bright bold colors so I don't really need to wear anything special but then I will put on the necklace and it will make me look special . I said you know me crazy I like anything .

Thanks Jana once she gets her New website I will link you up to her .Did I mention how much I love it .I love it so much I bought a pink tank to wear with it so I can look cute and girly with my girls . Anyone that knows mean knows that's a big deal for me to buy pink although I have yet to wear it :)Jana also has my Addy some jewels like mamas too . I am dying to see it .
