Quick picture update

Ok, I have been a little preoccupied since James came home. But after being hounded by my mom, and rightfully so, I will do a quick update FINALLY!! HAHA. (Hi mom)

Here is Keenan's green mohawk. It was a surprise for daddy, we did it the night before James came home, and YES it is gone now.

Keenan calls this his soldier face....haha!!

Here we are, the second car to show up on the Jetty, believe it or not we were NOT the first ones there. I knew I should have camped out the night before. LOL!!

More people have showed up now so the excitement is building and we moved from the car to the jetty with our signs in hand.

This is the fire tug that came in ahead of the ship to add a bit more of a show to their return. Apparently there was a helo and some other stuff too but to be honest I don't think too many people were paying attention to anything other than the ship.

OOHHHHHH, Here they come!!!!!!!!! And here is when the..."where is he" frantic searching starts.

Where is he???????????

Where is he ????????

WOOHOO!!!! There he is!!!! Dead center and still DEAD SEXY!!!!!!

My baby is back

As most of you know James finally got home on Saturday morning. I doubt if I will be on here much for the next little bit. We have lots of catching up to do. But I wanted to share this picture that was in the Times Colonist this morning. Enjoy and I will talk to you all LATER!! hehe

My little piggies

I took the kids out for lunch the other day and this is what they ate. Yes, I know it isn't all that healthy but it isn't like they eat this stuff everyday.


Haylei ate 1/2 a jar of her stuff, (yes she sometimes still has and likes the jarred stuff)half of my hot dog PLUS most of my NYF's. I didn't like them and they were sitting there and she reached over, grabbed them then filled her face. Apparently one fork wasn't enough. HAHA!!!


Keenan has had a nacho or two from Taco Time but NEVER an entire plate!!


I just couldn't believe how much they ate, I am NOT looking forward to the teenage never-ending-pit years. LOL. Next time I will make sure they are stuffed BEFORE we leave the house.

My Celebrity Look-alikes

My cool celebrity look-alike collage from MyHeritage.com. Get one for yourself.

Not much to say

Well, I don't have too much to say. I am sicker than a dog right now...AGAIN!!! Crap, will this EVER end ???

Anyways, we are getting closer and closer to my amazing man returning home to us and we couldn't be more excited. Well, I guess we could. Just ask us the day before. LOL!!

But now that I know he can see these pics I am just gonna drop in a few of the kids to tie him over until next weekend!! YA!!!

Right now he is up near the snow and ice and is not liking the fact that he had to shovel snow and chip ice today. It is the first time in 4 years that he has had to do that. Poor guy. I feel for ya baby!!

This is her new hideout!! With the food!!!!

Here Dad, have some cake!!

Government House

The kids and I had a night out at The Government House on Wednesday. We were invited guests of BC's Lieutenant Governor . When I say we, I mean all of the families of the crew of HMCS OTTAWA. They said it was a way of appreciating the families behind the boys and girls out there. Sure, sounded good.

So we went there and this place is GORGEOUS!! I wish I took more pictures but my camera was dying (I thought I charged them but I guess I didn't have them in the charger properly, its happend before). So I had to be picky with what I shot. I could have shot myself when I didn't bring back up batteries. LOL!!! Anyways, it was nice. We did the receiving line then the line got introduced and was led in the room by a guy playing the bagpipes. The piper brought them in then led a train of people (mostly all the kids) around the giant ballrom, up the stairs to the overlooking balcony then around the room some more before he led the Governor General and others up on the stage. The kids LOVED it !! Us parents were watching the old nursey rhyme happen right in front of us. HAHA!!

After that there were a couple short speeches, that I missed because Ms. Haylei was on the move and LOUD, then on to appies and socialising. The was a little kids section too with lots of kid food, cookies and juice and stuff. There were even a couple of clowns playing and making balloon animals and stuff for the kids, there was face painting. It was a REALLY good night. I think everyone enjoyed themselves.

Here are the couple pictures that did manage to take.
