Jory loves to fish

I promised myself to write more about the day  to day stuff that goes on in our house. 

Jory loves to fish.  You can catch him fishing with his buddy Ian or Liam once or twice a week.  They have this one spot where they always go in Manotick.  This past weekend Jory and his buds caught this mammoth Walleye. 


Isn’t he huge??  Jory was so excited – and I wish he had brought it home so we could have eaten it.  They put it back and spared his life.  That’s my boy!

I have the day off tomorrow.  Looks like I need to renew Kayla’s health card and thought I’d take the boy shopping for his school supplies.  Where exactly did the summer go?  *sigh

New Baby in the family

Looks Like I’ll be busy making new family ornaments for the Saulnier christmas tree.  (I know I should have made them years ago when Natasha and Jessica were born) or when David got married…but the new members into the family keep growing…so this year, it’s time to update the personalized christmas ornaments for mom and dad’s tree!  That’s right….

Welcoming… Maddison Isabelle Saulnier to the CLAN.  Congratulations Brenda!!  I can’t believe you’re a mommy now.  I have always known you were meant to have your own children – you have a true mama’s heart.  Love you! 

I am to be hereby forever be addressed as NANA.  ha!a
I’d like to apologize for not having updated my blog in a while.  Mom and Dad, I know how much you love to read about the updates in our life, because I never call you…and I’ve been homesick and missing you guys like nuts – had a quiet moment this evening – kids are out and I'm home alone, so had a few minutes to update. 
Work is work.  No change.  I still love my job and work for much less pay than I deserve.  Ugh.
I’m still walking, but we had a bout of rain for days on end and I was working alot of overtime the past couple of weeks so I’ve slacked quite a bit.  Beginning Monday we go back on walking duty though.  I can feel the fat coming back on the back of legs.  I had been doing so well!  I mean, i still look better than before, but it really doesn’t take much before it comes back on when you stop exercising.  **Probably having this bag of cheetos beside me on the couch isn’t helping either.  ha!
I got my hair cut.  Quite a bit actually.  I think she cut off about six inches.  I love it though…i feel like i look more my age.  (shhhhhhhh…40 soon.)  ugh.  You like???  Me too, I'm keeping this one!  :)

Other news…and this is fabulous!  Jacqueline and Alex got engaged recently.  I could not be happier for her.  I know this is something she’s dreamed of for her entire life – and I am so happy that it’s with Alex.  What a great guy…what a great couple.  I know God will bless the two of you.  Congratulations!!!  xo  ***hmmmmmmmmm…i need a picture.  wtf.  :(
The kids and I spent a week at the cottage for our summer holiday.  We went with Sarah and Rob – had a blast!  It was unbelievable!!  We had fun, and got to rest at the same time.  Best holiday I ever had!!

I took this picture of the sky just before a storm that was passing by.  It’s my favourite and is now my wallpaper at the office.  Ain’t it gorgeous…reminds me of God’s goodness.  Amidst any storms we go through, he is always there.  :)

The cottage was in Lac Ste. Marie, Quebec.  It was so cozy, and quaint and was so ME…it was as if God said, “Here is a cottage just for you”.  I absolutely loved it.   Seriously, check out the other photos I have on Facebook…there are too many awesome photos – I can’t post them all on here.  We had so much fun.
Here’s Kayla with her fish…ha!  Little tiny one.  She caught a bigger one…;)

The kids both went to the EX this year.  They are getting big.  Kayla went with Jer and Jory went with his buds.
Jer won Kayla this huge banana.  LOL.  It’s almost bigger than her.  haha!!  I cannot believe she will be 18 next week.  WTF??
