A picture update...
I'm still surprised at how fearless Adriel is of the bike park.

This is what he did when he realized the camera was out.


Sloan's my boy.
Rewind a few months to when I was staying with Andrea and we went to see Redfish play.

While we were at Andrea's Sloan got wet and then rolled in dirt. Awesome.

I promised Leah I would take a picture of myself going to my grad reunion by myself, because I'm cool like that.

My big boy on the first day of school.

Isn't he handsome?

Handsome, right?

This is our living room

From another angle

Front entrance and dining area. That white thing on the left is my favourite thing that we got from ikea ever. It's for shoes. No more ugly shoe mess at the front door.

The bathroom

Owen and Sloan watching tv together. I thought it was cute how close Sloan had snuggled up to Owen.

A cute fat urchin of a boy.

And that's about it.

Too Much Fun
Well there was a lot of sister fun had, and also a lot of lack of sleep, especially on Bethany's part. There was movie watching, there was shopping, there was toting kids to and from parks, there was laughing and eating good food (of course). There was sharing of clothes. Biffy and I agreed that when our wardrobes are paired together, it makes one cute wardrobe. We even traded a pair of jeans for a while- which I don't regret. When Bethany left I was sad. I went a whole week with companionship and fun. I didn't want to be alone again. I had the blues. In an attempt to cheer up, we went to the bike park and watched and took pictures of Adriel for his poster (he was star of the week at school and we were invited to make a poster about him- on a side note, I went over board and spent three hours making it because I wanted it to be creative and perfect.) While we were at the bike park I heard a familiar growl (she calls it that, but I think of it more as a moany-groan) and I turned and there was Bethany. She threw this particular circle scarf that I had been wanting really badly on my lap and growled again. You see, she got this circle scarf from American Apparel. You can wear it so many ways, it's so neat and while we were there I saw one that I wanted to but couldn't afford. I was coveting hers all week. She just showed up at the park and surprised me with it. I was so surprised and confused. How did she know I was at the park? She just guessed since I wasn't home. That gesture has made me love the scarf even more, because it's a piece of Bethany's love. It helped take the edge of her leaving of a bit. I want to wear it everyday. I love it. Sisters really are the best.
Kyle caught it on film, but it was double exposed.

Kangawoos
I'm annoyed that there's something dirty on my shirt after I just washed it, as in, whatever it is, it didn't come out. This annoys me.

Sloan thinks deer are kangaroos. One night as we were leaving Chris and Kimme's in Nanaimo, there were a lot of deer hanging around. For some reason this really spooked him. Now his constant fear is that a Kangaroo is going to get him. He hurries from the car to the house for this reason. He also asks me a lot if there are kangaroos outside while we're driving and various times while we're outside. He says "Kangawoos no eat me?" He tells me that they're hiding and sometimes he pretends that a kangaroo is eating me. Silly boy.

Last night we had some company for dinner. Vanessa and Jesse. They're from Calgary. Kyle and Jesse were in the same ward at one point in Kyle's youth. Vanessa befriended me at church. She also saved me from Sloan in nursery. I like her, she's really nice. They have twin girls in between Sloan and Adriel's ages. Their girls are very timid and quiet. Maybe they aren't always like that, but they were while at our house. Sloan and Adriel on the other hand were so loud, rambunctious and kept fighting over toys. Sloan would have these scream-crying out bursts. He must have been tired, because he's not always that bad. I'm sure we made them feel glad that they had girls. I made ribs. There were two different kinds. One was a recipe from Jordan from way back before kids (feels like a long time ago) called "Freakin Good Ribs." It's an old faithful recipe that we enjoy. The other one I tried for the first time that I got online called Sweet and Tangy Carribean Ribs. They had special rub and then an orange/lime juice sauce. They were both good. I tricked our friends into thinking I'm a good cook. We visited for a while and then they had to leave due to bed time. It was a good time. Kyle and Jesse have a lot in common. Jesse is an electrical engineer. They have many similar interests.

Speaking of Kyle, this summer we really got into the new Ron Sexsmith album. We both think he's really talented and this is our favourite album so far. I think you should check it out. You won't regret it (unless your Andrea, and find his style too mellow) It's called Late Bloomer.

The Bethaneezer is coming today for a visit and I'm anxiously awaiting her arrival. It's going to be a week of sister fun I hope.
