There is Sunshine in My Soul Today

We've had so much rain that I'm truly beginning to feel like a duck!  However, this morning the kids and I woke up to the most beautiful sunshiny day that I knew we had to get out and enjoy it.  Packed up with empty containers and rubber boots we headed to White Rock Beach.  

A walk along the path, pier, yummy lunch then digging in the sand soaking up the sunshine rays was just the medicine I needed!  What a super fun, relaxing and rejuvenating day. 

First Bike Ride of the Year

There really hasn't been much sunshine so far this year but today the sunshine was bright and warm so as soon as the kids got home from school we loaded up the bikes and headed for the dyke's!  

I'm not one to normally be affecting too much by the lack of sunshine but this winter I have been and between the need for bright blue skies and family very close by this was the PERFECT afternoon!!

We're looking forward to a fun 2012 biking season!!

Destructive Self Talk

Never would I expect ANYONE to tell a cancer patient/survivor to 'get over it' and yet for the last 4 months that's exactly what I've been telling myself.  So convinced that that's what people are saying when they hear the news that I seem to have taught that self talk to myself.  It's destroying me.

Having life turned upside down with the news of being diagnosed with a second cancer still has me grasping for breath at times.  Having emotions opposite of what I think I should have (possibly control issues over my own emotions) has been a huge learning curve and I'm finally getting that its okay to not be instantly fixed.  Am I making any sense?!

I had my first official  gynaecologist cancer check up.  So we know my schedule and yes, another 5 years ahead of me being checked for signs that cancer isn't back.  Regime will be every 3 months for 2 years then every 6 months for 3 years then I'm clear.  I'll also have a base ultra sound done in a couple weeks and then again in a years time.  What fun!!

I keep telling Les that for a person with the least amount of body parts I certainly get checked out the most!!!  Truly, I'm glad that I have doctors that take such good care of me.

Just For You Tamsen!

A new find!  However, I didn't find them as good as the others.

High School

It's official, Adrianna will be attending MRSS in the fall.  Still scary and hard to believe that I have a daughter entering high school.  Yipes!!

Apparently Pretty Funny

Jokingly bugging Les for how he had piled the toilet paper rolls behind the toilet he decided to take it one step further........

The kids thought it was hilarious!

Cracked Me Up!

Relaxing watching a little TV before bed in the episode a squirrel came through an open window and terrified Alex, who is scared of rats.  Whitney not understanding what the big deal was because it was a squirrel and not a rat got his reply ....... 

"Everyone knows squirrels are just sexy rats!!"

For some reason this totally cracked me up!!

Flower Arrangement

Adrianna can often be found looking up craft ideas and watching tutorials on YouTube.  Her latest creation - a flower pot pen project.  She put her own personal twist to it and decided to make a flower arrangement with every single one of the flowers being useful - 20 pens!
