Some things I deeply care for...

This is a list of things that I own, that I love. They aren't necessarily listed in order, and these are not things I love most in life or anything, they are just some random things I love.

1. Chapstick
These are just the ones from beside my bed and in my purse and stuff.

2. My hats

I love them both. I named the dog one Spot becuase when my Dad first saw it he said, "Hey, isn't that Spot the dog?" I have no idea what dog he was reffering to but it was funny.

3. My mom's Mexico purse
When my mom was in 3rd grade her parents got it for her when they went to Mexico.
4. Lotion


A lot of people hate lotion but I love it. This is just my stash.

5.Coffee
I love coffee so much. Hopefully I shall be a barista some day... (I took this pic on my phone so I could edit it, my phone is amazazing. And I know it is coffee flavors, but it is related to coffee and I wanted to use the picture so give me a break.)
6.My promise ringI got this ring with my cousins on some dock in Seattle a long time ago. It's very special to me. I have probably lost is 20 times in the last couple of years. But now I never take it off so I never lose it! Except to take this picture, but that's different matter entirely.

7. My Olivia the Pig journal!I love Olivia. She is so cute! Whenever the little one rents Olivia books I always steal them and read them. My favorite one is where Olivia forms a band. It's great.

8.Our typewriterA while ago Kynsie and I got this old typewriter at a garage sale. We just use it as a decoration, but every now and then I get it out and just type for fun.

I love many other things, but these are the things I just saw when I looked around and I realized that maybe I wasn't giving them the praise they deserved;) There is still duct tape, Corner Gas, poker, monopoly....

My Christmas

WOW, a lot has happened since I last blogged. We have been really busy this Christmas. On Christmas Eve Drew and I flew from Saskatoon to Edmonton and our flight was only a little delayed (which is shocking, planes were usually really late due to weather). Then in Edmonton we were supposed to have a four hour layover there and get to Abbotsford at around 10ish. Edmonton airport had a really cool fireplace that you could lean up against becuase it wasn't extremely hot. It was the perfect temperature. We walked around a while and I was like, "Wow, I wish there was a Starbucks." As soon as we found the only Starbucks they were closing the gate. So everything was closed and we were bored again. We ended up going to Tim Hortons (a Canadian donut shop) and that closed too shortly after we got our donuts. So we decide to wait and read magazines at this gate that was going to Victoria and everyone there was mad becuase their plane was late or something. The poor airport employees. While we were there we heard shouting so we turned around and police were tackling this lady to the ground and handcuffing her. She was yelling at them the whole time. They were saying the whole formal, "We are arresting you..." and they were arresting her for like being a public disturbance or something. It was so funny. She was like, "I am not disturbing anyone!" Then she looked at this lady across from me and she said, "Am I being a disturbance? Am I disturbing you?" Drew and I were cracking up. This lady was either high, or crazy.

Our plane was two hours late and we ended up having a six hour layover. When we got back Dad picked us up and took us to Harrison Hot Springs for the night. Mom and Lainey were there sleeping (Dad came early and dropped them off, he didn't know he would be waiting for us at the airport until 12 in the morning, lol). We got up at 7:30 and went swimming with Lulu. She had a blast. This is a picture of Dad and Drew in their swim trunks in the snow. After this they jumped in the pool.

We drove to my Aunt's house in Seattle and got there about 2 or so in the afternoon. We ate a ton of food and we went sledding that night with all my cousins. It was so fun. Most of my cousins are "adults" and the fact that I had to put quotes means that they are still young enough to be fun:) We had a snowball fight and I am not really sure who won in the end, I am sure we all got snow to the head at least once.


On Sunday we went to church and watched the kids(it was our childcare week) and then came home and ate a delicious brunch ( is brunch at 2 considered brunch?). It was so good. Drew made bacon and we were all very proud of him. The picture is just off the top layer, there was a lot more than four pieces. One of Dad's gifts for Christmas was a Texas hold 'em set. So we all learned how to play and I think I may have an addiction.... jk
