A leisurely lunch

I felt like Heaven smiled on me when Tracy Cakes came back to Ft. Langley.
Of course I had to take Sarah there for lunch and a cupcake.
Chase LOVED his lunch and then polished off 2 baby cakes.
Poor kid, he's got a sweet tooth like Mommy!




Singing in the rain!

I just spent a fabulous week with one of my dearest friends, Sarah. Sarah and her family live in California. So I truly savour the time we get together. Even before I met Sarah everyone always told me about how incredible she was. They encouraged me to get to know her as we were a lot a like. Well, it just so happens that my adopted younger brother & close friend Tim married her! We're both true blonds, nuts about fashion, understand guy humor and often add a joke of our own, laugh as much as we can and know all of our blessings in life are from Jesus!!
This past week was spent encouraging each other and talking about our kids. Sarah is such a blessing to me. I can't imagine life without her!
When I found out that Sarah was coming I wanted to make sure she felt spoiled and got to relax. All you Mommies out there know how hard life can be when you're being pulled in so many directions. I wanted Sarah to just have time to refresh.
One of the highlights from our week was going to see 'Singing in the Rain' @ Theater Under the Stars. The show was amazing! It was so wonderful to be with my sisters and Mom's. Let's face it...it's just nice to dress up and have a night with the girls!


We ate dinner at Crime Lab in honor of Officer Tim Downes. ;)

Beautiful ladies!!!

Kelowna with great friends!

We try to get up to Kelowna a couple of times each summer to visit our Uncle and to enjoy the Okanagan! We always make amazing memories and love spending time on the lake. Our gift to Chris Cooke this year was a game of golf and a weekend up in K-town! A 30th birthday gift that Chad, Trent & Brent got to enjoy too. ;)
My HOT husband!

This year I got to celebrate my birthday with my Mom, Dad, Trent & Brittany and Chad & I. It was such a treat for me and if you know our families story a small miracle. The evening was filled with unbelievable food, tasty vino and loads of laughter. My parents let me pick the restaurant. So of course I picked Boneta's in Gastown.
If you haven't been there hurray up and make a reso! :)
The poutine is a must...trust me!
I've been blessed with a lot of fabulous people in my life but when Trent married Brittany I gained an outstanding sister. She is so understanding, loving, hard working and joyful.
Love you B!
I love these guys!
A special thanks to my in laws for taking Chase. I felt so spoiled! Love you family...don't know what I'd do without yah.

Mini man

Chad & Chase have a very special bond.
On weekends Chase won't leave Chad's side.
Everything is Daddy!
I love them both so much and wanted to show everyone a bit of the fun. :)

Jordan & Becki's Wedding day!

As most of you know my Mom coordinates a lot of weddings! She has a wonderful flair and loves every second of bringing each brides dreams to life. I often help her with the set up. I was extremely excited when she asked me to help with Becki Wiebe's wedding! Becki is my sister in law Brittany's sister. She is adorable, spunky and one of the most stylish girls I know! I was very excited to see all the details of the day. Here's a little taste of Jordan and Becki's beautiful wedding day...
