Quote of the day!

This quote made me giggle and I thought I would share with the rest of you

Quote of the day:

'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.'

Growing like a weed

Piper is just shy of being 2 1/2 years old and the days of her being a baby is starting to get foggy (which is so sad.) She is now talking up a storm, and you can understand 90% of what she is saying. She is more independent, wanting to dress herself, brush her own teeth, feed the dog.

Her biggest milestone is potty training!... she does have the occasional accident but they're mostly our fault and they are sooo far and few between now. And the greatest thing she will now use a public washroom which is a life saver and no more trips to parking lot for her to pee in her potty. Lately, she is refusing to wear a pull-up at night, which I knew wouldn't be far behind because it's rare that she wakes-up with a wet diaper but at least for the last couple of days we've been able to put a pull-up on and put her panties over but not anymore.... this is the final straw, my baby is real a big girl now... so proud but kind of sad all at the same time. (knock on wood that I have not jinx myself)

Pigtails!!! Piper can finally wear pigtails! And she is so proud of them, that she will keep them in now! A mothers dream... I've been waiting 2.5years for this people! Hair accessories = great stocking stuffers.

Oh, my potty mouth Piper was back the other night. We were laying in bed watching TV, Chris started talking but I sshhhh'd him. He started talking again and Piper randomly said 'Fuck off, Daddy!' Omg, we were both shocked...we told her that was a bad word and shouldn't say it. Next time, a timeout will be issued!

Deer Hunting

I shot a buck on Saturday evening (before dark)... I was so excited and so proud. Chris couldn't believe I actually did it. It was the best experience ever! I was standing 40yards away from the deer, standing pretty much in a middle of a field with my crossbow held in my hands...and at the right time, I just pulled the trigger.

I was a little sad at first because I knew that I hadn't missed, there was distinct pouf sound....but the deer had ran away...and of course, as soon as shot and I knew I hit it...I kind of started doing a 'happy dance' until I notice my hubby running in the direction of the deer to make sure he knew which way he had headed... Oops, I'm beginner I forgot to watch which way the deer took off.

It got dark really really really fast, Chris said the deer had run into some long grass and went left, I had a feeling it went right but I was busy doing a dance that I wasn't positive. Our flashlight was useless...but with it being so cold Saturday night, Chris said that it would be fine overnight and that we could come look first thing in the morning. We went first thing in the morning...and Chris went left...and I went right..and there it was...maybe 20ft from where we were looking the night before. I should have went with my gut instinct.

**I did not gut the deer myself nor will I ever do that dirty job, it was the most disgusting/smelling thing ever to see and watch**

Sorry if my picture grosses anyone out (Sorry, Lena!) but I can't blog about it and not sure you a picture of it....

1st deer (buck) ever...October 1, 2011

Diet

You think I would know better then to start a diet on the week that I'm PMS'ng and all I want is things that are sweet and salty.. but I'm holding back on temptation! Wich is really good for me...maybe not so much for Chris (oops, lol)


This is making my mouth water right now!





Even more so...

and of course, I only started my diet yesterday because I refuse to start a diet on a Monday...

Also, I joined the gym here at work yesterday also. I have my 'consultation' tomorrow so I'm looking forward to learning how to learn to use those scary/big machines. I to have them help me with a fitness plan. I must say the gym is pretty affordable $24/month ... definitely don't mind paying.

But I think I'm going to splurge and join one the specialty programs, I believe it's $41 for 8 weeks. I wanna try out the Kettlebell... registration is Oct 17th - I must not forget.

A quick fix?

DeeDee (my parents dog) has some issues going on with her ear. I believe, that she somehow got a scratch in her ear... but it's not healing well because she keeps scratching at it(everyone knows how itchy a healing wound can be.) My mom brought DeeDee to the vet and all the vet told my mom was to keep it clean and put cream on it. Okay, good luck...this dog will not lay down all nice and quietly to let someone clean (poke around in there). On Saturday night, it took myself, both my parents and our little helper Piper to get DeeDee's ear well cleaned.

My mom had tried all week to make a homemade cone (i wish I would have taken a picture) to put on DeeDee but then my mom was worried that she couldn't eat or drink so off came the cone! So our quick fix... maybe put socks on the dog, that way if she scratched alt east she would  feel some type of relief but her nails won't do any more damage to the wound.

We'll putting socks on a dog isn't an easy tasks! And then we all had a blond moment and couldn't remember if dogs used their front paws or back paws to scratch so all four paws got some socks.

For the life of me, I'm trying to get the picture of DeeDee off my phone onto here! But of course, I'm not having any such luck :(

Bad, bad blogger...

I'm such a bad blogger..I haven't blogged since the beginning of August. Shame on me!

Since the last time I posted... I had my girls weekend in Tremblant! Absolutely a gorgeous place, I would love to see it in the fall or winter. I had such a great time, with a bunch of great ladies, so many laughs! Can't wait to decide what we are doing next year.

Had a great summer overall... the weather was nice. I loved watching Piper float around our pool looking like this:

I also really like this picture of Piper and her daddy:

Chris baseball team won  3 our of the 4 tournaments this year. I love watching the beer buddies play... well, I actually like the socializing out at the ball park more then watching the game.



Beer Buddies - Champs of 2011

Also, I can finally scratch #1 of my 1001 list.... I finally donated blood. Yay Me! I went last Thursday, September 15th. I was a bit nervous from hearing from several other people that the needles was big or that they felt sick afterwards. I managed really well, I didn't think that needle was much bigger then usual, and it took about 10 15mins for them to take all the blood they needed. The man in front of me and the lady beside me weren't as fortunate as me. I was sitting down reading my book and out of nowhere all I see if the men's legs go up, a cold cloth go to his face, the needle come out of his arm; 2 minutes later the girls legs go up, she gets a juice and the needles comes out. I did kind of giggle at them when we all meet up at the cookie and juice station later on.



From one great weekend to the next....

I know this might be a little late BUT last weekend was one of the best weekend I've had in a long time. I love when our little town as their baseball tournament. There's nothing better then watching my hubby's team come in first place in the ball tournament AGAIN and having great laughs with some awesome people!!!!

Friday night, was a great night of ball and I got to participate in a great game of Flip Cup. Even, though I was on the losing team I still had a great time, and I didn't feel that bad in the morning either...just had a big craving for a pound of bacon!
Saturday, was a great family day at the ball field, between watching Chris' ball games, playing in the park with Piper and taking her on a wagon ride and petting the horses. By time Chris and I were ready to leave at 9pm, we had to wait for our little social butterfly to say good-bye to everyone, which took an extra 30mins.
Sunday, happened to be my 25th birthday! and a busy day at the park... Chris had to play in 3 games. I am very fortunate that my mother in-law was able to get Piper down for a nap and watched over her while I was keeping track of the score sheets.... Sunday also happened to be a busy day for drinking for me anyways. My mother in law, took Piper home so that Chris and I could stay back and enjoy the victory with the rest of team. The night ended with several of us pool hopping around town. It was a very priceless moment, and I'm still laughing about how we must have looked.

Even though, last weekend was a great weekend... I'm 100% positive that this weekend will be able to top it. This weekend is our Girls Gone Wild weekend. This is the 4th year, and this is the first time that I will be participating all weekend. We have decided to go the Mont-Tremblant, we are 14 girls staying at a 5 bedroom condo. There's a hot tub, a pool with a water slide! We've decided that Saturday night, we are going to dress-up and paint the town red! Thankfully, I have a sister that loves clothes, shoes and accessories because I just went shopping at her place and found the perfect little combination for Saturday.

I'm soooo looking forward to the weekend away but not looking forward to the mess that I might return home too. Not sure if Chris can handle taking care of Piper and staying on-top of the house chores as well.... sigh...
