Weekend at the Lake, and Me as a Pirate!

This past weekend we headed down to Barnwell for the weekend. Its about 2 and 1/2 hours south of here, but it was worth it. Norms sisters, husbands family own a place on this nice lake down there. So we went to go out on the boat, and have some fun! It was awesome!! Almost made me forget that im in Alberta..lol And the weather was beautiful!! soooo hot! The water was still freezing though, and I found that out when my loving husband threw me in! lol Anyhow, here's some pics...
My SIL Lindsay
Norm before he fell in..
My BIL Kyle, you can tell he's been doing it a while.
My sexy husband!
So excited to be baby free! (Kyles mom watched her for us!)
"Umm dad, its kinda cold..."
"get me outta here!"
All tired out.
A few nights ago, in the middle of the night, Rebecca woke up crying, so I went to pick her up out of her crib, and in the darkness, so grabbed my eyeball, while my eye was open! It hurt so bad! But by the next morning it was fine and I didnt think anything of it. Then Tuesday morning when I got up, my eye was all red, and it felt like there was something in it, all day! It was driving me crazy. I just rinsed it out, and thought maybe I just had allergies. Then yesterday morning, oh man, when I woke up, I couldnt open my eye! It was sealed shut! I got it open with warm water, and figured that maybe it was time to see a doctor. So, the doctor froze my eyeball!! weirdest feeling ever!! and then put this orange stuff in it, and looked at it with a blue light to see if it was scratched or anything. Well, thanks to my little monkey, I have a scratch just under my lower lid. Im just thankful it wasnt over my pupil. But well, this scratch got infected, and thats what was causing all the problems. The doctor was really nice, and asked how old my daughter is, and said that she's still at the age where I cant get mad at her for it, and thats true..lol. So since my eye was frozen, I had to wear an eye patch all last night, so I wouldnt scratch it more without feeling it. Norm and Becca thought it was hilarious! I had to get Norm to come pick me up from the doctors, since I wasnt allowed to drive. And the meanie, while we were in the car, gave me a wet willie, and thought it was so funny since I couldnt see it coming!! haha. Anyhow, here's some pics of me as a pirate!

Birthday! and the last month...

This past month, we haven't done anything too exciting, but we've been busy all the time. Its so nice to be back in the city with friends our age!
Rebecca is enjoying it as well, she has a new boyfriend, Callahan. I think he's more interested in her than she is in him..lol. As you'll see one of these pics, he tries to hold her hand, and she's just like whatever, playing it cool..lol


Last month was my sister in laws grad. I did her nails, and makeup for it, and offered to take some pics at the lake for her. Well, she had a bunch of friends coming, and told them not to worry about bringing their parents, since I was coming. Some even thought I was a professional!! ahh!! So I ended up taking pics for like 16 people! couple and group shots, it was a bit stressful, but fun at the same time. Here's a few.
Another nice part of living here is being so close to the lake, since we live in a lake community. We've taken Becca there a few times, she wasnt so sure about the grass at first, but loves it now.

So June 1st was my birthday! Im now 23..seems so old..lol
We had a family get together on the Sunday before, but sadly Saturday night, I woke up in the middle of the night sick, so I wasnt feeling so hot. Norm made me a cake though, so I had to come upstairs and get some pics with it, even though I couldnt eat it.
Then on my actual birthday, Norm planned a bbq party for me, with all our friends. I was still a bit under the weather, but it was a lot of fun! He planned it at the Glenmore Reservoir, which for those who dont know, is like the biggest body of water in Calgary. Its where our drinking water comes from I think..lol. They have a yacht club there, so it reminds me of home with the sail boats. My mom ordered an ice cream cake for me, and got Norm to pick it up. It was awesome!:)

The other day Becca fell asleep in her high chair for the first time, it was so cute that I just had to get a pic.
So, last weekend, which in case you need to be reminded, was June, and it was snowing here!! I hate Alberta weather! We went to the temple with family, which was awesome! and I was gonna take a pic of the snowy temple grounds, but it had started to melt by the time we got out.

And lastly, here's some pics of Becca all ready for church yesterday. Her hair is finally long enough to put elastics in! yay!! lol
