Anger, Sad, Stress and Frustration!

That about sums up what I am feeling right now. I wrote a huge post telling certain people off but I have deleted it.

Fall fair Pictures

This post is a few days late but I don't think anyone will be upset with me :D

As I posted before Rob, JamieL and Cam came to spend the weekend with us and we all went to the RC Fall Fair.

Baby Cam is so happy all the time, even while being fussy with the bright sun when he's have his Lunch.

Even though he can't talk yet, you can see he is upset he can't go on the rids like he older cousins
The girls on their first ride, a slooooow merry-go-round
A better ride, they controled how high they went in this plane ride

Two happy and excited sisters waiting for the next ride

Here is a video of the girls on a mini rollercoaster, they loved it!

(they are in the front)

Stressful few weeks but calming down...

Finally thinks are getting a bit less complicated and stressful.

Babysitting other peoples kids is not delightful when they have free reign at their own house. In the end, I was full of pride at the manners that Danny picked up but I was ready to strangle his sister. Two days later and I'm still upset with Sylvia, her bratty-ness has rubbed off on Anna! Now I have to live with her doing the "Why" stage(questioning my authority). ARRG!

Brother Rob and his fiance Jamie and Baby Cam stayed with us over the weekend. We all went to the RC fall fair on Saturday and Rob and Mike went hunting Sunday Morning. It was great spending time with them again, Cam is getting so adventurous, climbing everything and trying to stand by his-self.

Early in the week we had some Family drama with my siblings. Misunderstandings, misquotes and jumping to conclusions leads to some very heating phone calls and threats. The Changeways and 7 healthy habits courses sure came in hand! Luckily thinks seemed to have ended peacefully, at least on my end. I'm sure it hasn't fully ended and will soon not be forgotten but that's life! No one is perfect.

Guess what! I'm Co-chair for our school's PAC! Whoo woo! and I'll also train to take over the treasure's position next year. Had a few flashbacks of WI but I think the school will be more mature then those ladies were!

Also, I'm running Ivy's school's Snack Shack and taking Japanese dance on Wednesdays. Tuesdays Anna was visits with the speech therapist and Tuesday and Thursday Afternoons we have Play group. Early Oct the school is have a harvest Lunch, I'll be making buns and serving the turkey lunch. End of Oct, Anna has appointments in Children's Hospital so we'll combine a visit to the Cariboo at the same time. We'll be there for my 30th Birthday too so I guess no party for me :( I'm hoping to have Thanksgiving with my Family (Hint, Hint) then X-mas with Mike's.

I'll post pictures of the Fair later tonight.

Frustrated!

I want to scream and yell, throw a huge tantrum and bash some heads together!!!

No not my kids's heads but the cousins! I got stuck babysitting again this week as M&T can't seem to follow doctors orders and look after their youngest child, he is back in the hospital with a feeding tube. The other 2 are as bratty as ever. Well, Danny is getting better, I think he is finding some respect for me and he realises it's just not me, he is being disaplined in school already and he's only been there 2 days!

I don't know what's wrong with sylvia but the tears and whinging just won't stop, I've put her in time out and she screams she is going to run and find her parents, she won't share with her brother nor my Anna, so I tell Danny not to share with her and she cries more! Arrg! I thought me girls were bad at criing but no way no how! These other kids sure know how to work it!

Wish it was the olden days and I could make them scrub the floor and belt them!! ARRRG I'm soooooooooooooo upset!

Summer cold

An average cold I can handle but this one has been a doosy. I've been sick for over a week now and am only 75% normal.

Started out with the achy chills, then a soar throat, then the ear popping..... brought back so many painful memories of my youth, the dreaded ear infection! After 2 days of ear discomfort, Saturday the pain struck and I had hubby drive me to the GF hospital to get a prescription. While waiting in the er curtain bed I over heard the nurses complaining about stupid people getting a soar throat and ear pain and not going to their doctors and wasting their time in the er.... excuse me! I was so upset, my doc is only open 2 days a week otherwise I'd have went to him and not wasted my time going to the er just to get snubbed!

Turned out I have 2 infections in the one ear, an inner ear infection (which is normal for me) and an abscess in the outer ear next to the ear drum. Got a script for antibiotics, ear drops and T3's for pain.

Later Saturday, the cold progressed into a cough and sinus cold. Monday I woke up with my right eye glued shut with pink eye. Ivy got pink eye the week before and since I was the one washing her eye and giving her the eye drops I wasn't too surprised I got it, luckily we have left over eye drops. After a few days the eye looks and feels much better.

I'm feeling a bit better each day but the ear hasn't healed yet, it's almost there. It's doing lots of popping again, and I've lost half my hearing in it but not too much pain, also had some drainage from it this morning ( a good sign). Sinuses are draining too, and I only cough to remove phlem, so that is better too.

10 days this cold has lasted, if it wasn't for the ear infections, I'd be all clear by now but I guess it's better to get it all at once to get it all out of my system before school starts for the girls.

1 1/2 weeks till school starts! Ivy is excited and so is Anna! I hope Ivy can adjust to going school all day without too many problems, I know it will be hard on everyone to get up at 7 am to get her ready for the bus at 8am. But we shall try our best!

The Wedding

Ahh, the Wedding was Marvelous! It was small but very colourful and full of Hugs, Love and Smiles!

The Bride, my little Sister, Jen and her Bridesmaid, Stacey

The Groom, Murad, and his Best Man/Brother Nart.
The entrance to the ceremony, behind the hotel. Notice the Bestman and Bridesmaid waiting on either side of the arch and the flowergirls (Ivy and Anna) waiting on the lower steps.
Anna tossing her flower petals, she took her job very seriously! Uncle James and Baby Bella looking on.

Ivy doing an awesome job as flowergirl, (step, step, toss, step, step, toss....)
Then came BM Stacey and BM Nart
Our Handsome Daddy escorted the very beautiful Bride
Exchangeing of vows with a wonderful view of the lake, mountains and park.

Murad was so nervous that he dropped the ring! I thought is was cute, they both bent to pick it up without letting go of each others hand

The ring goes on...

and they kiss, awwwwe

Then the offical signing of their life together.

The Justice of the Peace annouces: Mr and Mrs D!!! Father and Mother of the Bride, also my parents :D

Little Baby Cam slept through the whole ceremony.

Baby Bella looking cute as ever!

Anna decieded to clean up the petals she had dropped, she managed to pick most up, then accedently dropped them in the hallway, lobby and elevator of the hotel, lol!

Uncle Troy's Family was late to the ceremony but made it in time for photos. We were takeing pictures of the kids all together when the Bride and Groom started posing behind them.(L-R) Anna, Ivy, Cam, David, Danny and Sylvia, I missed getting Bella in this shot.
My parents poseing with my brother Rob, baby Cam and GF Jamie.

The Cake: Moose for Canadian Bride and Camel for Groom from Jordan!

The next morning, the family got together for breakfast and the Newleyweds opened their gifts, this is them with my gift, I cross-stitched a celtic heart with their names and the wedding date below.

Later that evening they hopped a plane to Turkey for a 3 week honeymoon and Jen will meet Murad's parents for the first time in person. Why Turkey instead of Jordan? I have no clue.

We all had a most wonderful time, the hotel suite was gorgeous, some of us even went for a swim (twice for my little family) I got to visit with my Step Sis, who I hadn't seen since my Wedding (7 years ago) And this was the first time all 4 siblings (Me, James, Rob and Jen) got together with all out kids and partners!

Busy with Excitment!

We're going to the Chapel and My lil' sister is gonna get married, Going to the Chapel of loooooove!

Yup, the weekend is here that my Sister Jen and her fiance Murad will be getting Married!!! It won't be in a chapel but I do love that song. The ceremony will be outside in the hotel's garden http://www.covelakeside.com/ And I (along with most of my extended family) will be spending the night! Whooo Woooooo!!

My Girls are flower girls, they are tickled pink! Ivy says she want to be the bride and was quite offended when I told her Aunty Jen is the bride, she is the one getting married but Ivy was soon happy when I told her she gets to throw flowers at everyone! LOL

Besides the wedding, we have been hiding from the heat, barely going outside during the day, we played in the creek a few days:

Mike spent most of the time moving rocks, trying to make a swimming hole but mostly just made some nice rapids, LOL!
