Island News

Well its now 8:30 and the trick or treaters are done for another year we ended up having 35 kids in total.

Here are a couple pictures of Brooke ready to go, first she tried on 2 outfits, but we ended up going with Sully from Monsters Inc.

Here are a couple I took the other day.

Brooke has found a new use for her piano.

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween !!

Karla had her graduation Friday evening, it was very nice ! Brooke was a perfect little girl thru it all. 

Here are a couple pictures, Brooke giving mommy some flowers before we left and a couple of Brooke with Mommy after the graduation ceremony.

Here is one of Brooke playing with her cousin Calliegh, who is 13 months older than Brooke.

And here is one of the photo’s taken at Friendship Park on Sunday, Will post more when we get them back. 

Have to run, Brooke is demanding my attention. 

Have a wonderful day folks and thanks for stopping by.

They are building a new park just a street over from us so we took a walk over today, its going to be nice when its all done. 

here are a few snapshots I took.

What  a beautiful weekend it was ! cool but refreshing temps out there.  A great Thanksgiving weekend for sure !

Karla and Brooke came down Monday and spent the night, some of Karla’s friends were home from away and she got to get a little visiting in with them which was nice. 

Brooke got her ears pierced on Saturday they are some cute !

Friday evening Brooke was relaxing in the “twirley” chair while Grammy twirled it around here is some shots of a full out belly laugh.

This is Brooke saying CHEEEEESE 

all in all a great weekend. 

I had my appointment with the specialist in Ch’town on Monday morning, and its good news, to fix up my wrist all he needs to do is make a small insision and let off some tension because things are getting squeezed in there causing the pain.  He will be coming to Summerside hospital and will see me up here and do the procedure it will only take about 10 minutes and I can go back to doing everything I’ve been doing , don’t need to take any time to heal or anything, so it won’t interfere with my work or looking after Brooke. So that’s great news !! 

Over the weekend I went and finally bought a new outfit for myself at superstore. I was so excited, I bought a size 12 denim pants and a medium top.  When I got home the pants were a little big so I took them back and tried on a size 10 they fit !! and are nice and loose on me !! WHOOT !  

Brooke is taking 3 or 4 steps at a time now, but she doesn’t care to walk she figures its faster to crawl so she immediately plops herself down and takes off. haha

We are going to get together with some friends this coming weekend and do some photo shoots up in Friendship park, 

Hope to get some nice shots of Wendell and I we haven’t done any pictures together for a long time. and then hopefully get some nice pictures of us with Tango and Rudy. 

at some point we’ll go again and take Brooke I would love to have a nice one of Grammy and Grumpy with their little ray of sunshine

I managed to get all my fall bulbs planted, still need to get some multch to cover everything with will have to try to get that done this week sometime. 

Time is flying by quickly only another 2 weeks and I’m back to work. 

Kevin and Shan will be getting moved this weekend as well. So lots of changes going on for them right now .

Hope everyone is able to get out and Vote today.  Its about the only thing we have any say in folks so get out there and vote.  

Have a great day and enjoy the glorious fall weather ! 

Thanks for stopping by ! 

Leaves are changing colors, flower beds are dying off, the air is cooler, furnaces are coming back to life to give heat.  Yes Fall is upon us once again.

Yesterday Wendell and I took Tango and Rudy to friendship park, the colors are getting more and more vibrant every day up there.  the boys had a great time running and playing and sniffing thru the woods. 

The weekend was pretty quiet around here, watched a couple movies friday evening, Saturday did a little shopping, and sunday watched the race. 

This morning I managed to get up around and get some vacuuming done before Karla and Brooke arrived, I even managed to put a color in my hair and get my shower overwith before they arrived ! 

Brooke is growing so fast !  She changes daily ! every Monday I see something different about her after she’s gone for the weekend ! I’m sure going to miss having her when I go back to work.  But I’m sure we’ll get to have her for sleepovers on the weekends.  

Saturday Karla is taking her to have her ears pierced, I’m sure Gramma will be crying right along with her when they do it.  They are going to stay down Friday evening and do some errands on Saturday , so we’ll get an extra day with her this week

I haven’t recieved my fall bulbs yet but hope to have them soon, the flower bed is already for them to be planted.  Will be nice to have a fresh new look for the spring out front !

Rudy has taken to sleeping in our bed with us the last few nights. he’s enjoying that !! Tango generally lays in the stair landing for the night.  and Giz curls up on the big comfy bed in the entry way.  Rudy is the big baby always has to be close to mama ! 

Its a nice bright day out there today , Brooke and I will go for a nice long walk today to get some fresh air. and then she will hang out with Grumpy for an hour or so this evening as I will have to leave around 6 to go to my meeting at TOPS and Karla doesn’t  get off work until 7.  Monday evenings are Brooke and Grampy time they get to hang out and enjoy each others commpany. 

I had my measurements taken again on Friday at VIBE and have a total loss of 30.5 inches overall ! was happy to see that ! 

I think I will start just doing the measurements every other week from here on in as it is slowing down now that I’ve been going for 7 weeks. 

Am hoping to see a loss on the scales at TOPS tonight as well, since last week I was up 1.25 lbs.  so a loss of 2 or so would be nice tonight ! 

Won’t be long before we are counting down to Christmas again. I am looking forward to that ! Kevin and Shan will be home , I miss them something awful ! Wish they were closer so we could see them more often .  

Hope everyone is having a great Monday, Thanks for stopping by folks enjoy your day !!
