The research and the distraction! Maybe a swim....

this is from last June...I forgot to post it! Silly me!!


Well I have done alot of Research and I am more confused then ever...way to go girl..you researched yourself out!! I just can't make up my mind. One moment I think I will go on the drugs the next forget it...give me a good vitamin and a swim...I will be just fine thank you every much!

On to other things because my brain is fried and I need a distraction!

Went to my brother's wedding last weekend.

"Loveable Hubby" and I made it a full pull weekend. Started by taking the ferry over to the big city and visting the grandbabies! We had a great time with them!! Liam is getting so big! Liam and Grandpa played baseball for along time and my little man Ben is just to dam cute for words!! Ben is always smiling and has no fear (which does scare me)he will climb on anything and everything! We didn't get to see Brent until the next day! He is getting big, it's amazing how much they change in just a few months. Brent wasn't feeling well but he is a pretty happy little guy!
We all went for lunch on Friday morning that was fun! Liam couldn't seem to get enough of Grandpa! And Grandpa found out just how fast Ben really is! One minute he was smiling and waving at Grandpa next he was up the stairs and out the door...I know that Grandpa was very surprised, it was pretty funny watching him run after Ben!

We left the kids and went to do a little shopping...did I mention that "Loveable Hubby" is a shop-alcoholic!! Every aisle...we have to go down every one...because we might miss a deal...give me strength!!
I am the kind of person that makes a list...goes to store..gets everything on the list...gets out!!! When I do bring "Loveable Hubby" it always cost me an extra 20 to 50 dollars!!

We did some grocery shopping and found a lovely little park in Maple Ridge for a walk, picnic and a rest. We then made our way up to my bro's new inlaws for his wedding.

Nice, small, family and a few friends wedding...Groom and Bride were alot of fun and everyone was in a happy "tease the happy couple" mood, which is the type of weddings I love!!! No pressure everything is laid back and fun and intimate...the big party was to come the following night.

We departed the wedding and went to our good friends Jeff and Carmel's house for the evening! Now that was wonderful, pulled the moterhouse into their beautiful park like property and parked MH for the evening! Relax!!

Now you have to know that we are considered "freaks" by our children regarding our Motorhouse (MH)...we have been known to sit in our MH in our driveway and eat a pizza and watch a movie! What's wrong with that!!
I should have known better than to answer the phone when they called and ask what we were doing...I don't tell them anymore...just say watching TV with "Loveable Hubby"!! Sometimes our children really don't need to know everything!!

Back to the weekend.

We spent a very nice evening with Jeff and Carmel and their kids. Who we haven't seen for awhile. They grow up so fast I remember the first time I ever met Savannah she was just one and she put her arms out to me and smiled, I was hooked right then and there!
She is graduating this year where did the time go!

I didn't even recognize Hunter he is an amazing young man, watch out for this one I predict he will be a famous musician he is very talented!! Katilyn has grown into a fine young lady and it was cute her telling us about her new beau!! It all made me very happy and proud to know them and very old at the same time! I throughly enjoyed the evening!!

Next morning we drank our coffee and watched Jeff start to mow his lawn...it takes him 6 hours to mow, needless to say we didn't watch for the whole 6 hours. "Loveable Hubby" asked him why he did get a ride on mowers...Jeff's response. I sit at a desk all week...this is great exercise!

We left to let Jeff mow and headed for the community swimming pool. Nice place, but I forgot my googles...and I just can't swim without my googles. Hubby and I had a good time just the same! We then went to Fort Langley and got a campsite.
This was nice...sat and soaked up the sun for a couple of hours. This has been the worse Spring so far...alot of rain so when the sun comes out we all get excited, summer might actualy be coming!
Walked up to the Hall for pictures and then the party begin!! Dinner was served, Brent Lee's band played, we all danced! One Speech by Ken - it was a very nice reception!

I had the most fun catching up with Robin and Marnie...I really miss them! don't get to see those two very much anymore. Alot of people we haven't seen for awhile were at the wedding and it was fun catching up! Cousins Karen, Erin, Kathy and Bob! Friends Paul, Theo, Tony, Jane, Pat and Norm, Robbie and a whole lot more! It was a fun time!
Peter and Diane gave us a ride back to the campsite. And off to bed we went!
Sunday morning we packed up and then went for a nice walk around Fort Langley, what a nice quaint little town! Off to the ferry we went, with a stop at Tim Hortons for some coffee and a sandwich.
Made the 3pm ferry and back to the Island we went! Serena and Derek pulled up to the house 5 minutes after us...we were on the same boat! And we didn't even know it!  Freaks that we are - "Loveable Hubby" and I watch a movie and never left the Motorhouse!! LOL LOL great end to a very enjoyable weekend!
Now I have to think again...or maybe a swim!
