Had a fun family day at Airdrie Airport for the spectacular Air Show!!!
We tried our first camping trip. Just me and the kids and some friends. It was not bad, we had tons of fun. Except for the windy and cold weather. Yes, it's summer time here, but the temperature in Banff was still cold. I actually didn't sleep well that night.
I just discovered 2 new blogs/meme... Introducing Black and White Wednesday and That's My World...
Will be posting some photos in the coming weeks... watch out for it!
Our family went on to watch our very first Air show! It was great! The weather's perfect for an outdoor event. I had over 600 photos... and will be sharing them soon...
My husband recently got eye inflammatory on his left eye. Due to the delayed treatment, it had gotten worst to the point that it got blurry. His right eye is still okay though, but with left eye blurry, I forbid him to drive. It is just way too dangerous.
So yesterday and today, I had to missed work just to drive him to and from doctor's appointment and work. Later this evening though he got another doctor appointment which is just 3 minutes drive from home. I volunteered to drive him, but he insisted that he is fine.
After he left, I told my son to call his Lola [grandma] in New York and tell her to tell his daddy not to drive till his vision is completely normal. He thought about it for a minute and said "No, let's not stress out Lola anymore."
I was really surprised at his answer. He has grown up in some ways. And I'm proud of him.
You see, my in-laws were recently here for a short visit. And they were both not really feeling well and so stressed out. There's been one death in the family and prior to that, they were busy with reunions and trips. They were both hospitalized [at different times] while visiting my sister-in-law in New York prior to their visit here. My son knows that all we ask them while they were here was just to relax and slow down.
Last week, a friend ask my daughter to babysit for her children at Hyatt Regency... and this is the view from the hotel. Of course, I couldn't leave my daughter alone with 2 small children, so I was also there.
My birthday is coming up soon and my husband is asking me what I want.
Well, he knows what I really want, a 1-carat solitaire diamond ring! Unfortunately, that is out of budget! So I said I will settle for a semi mount diamond ring till the time we can afford the solitaire.
Which do you prefer? The gold one or the silver one? I think gold is for me. You can see the diamonds better.
Technology. My kids are having a hard time understanding how we lived as a kid when I told him that we didn't have Wii, XBox, DSi's, laptops and even cellphones. I got them one netbook which they always fight over. So for my daughter's upcoming birthday, she is requesting for her own netbook. I didn't say "yes" to her but while browsing for the best netbooks, I was surprised to find one as low as $200 and it's brand new. Should I or shouldn't I??? I guess not! That is just way too expensive of a "toy" for an 11 year old. What do you think?

I am happy to say that our decision for the basement was right on the dot. Everybody who saw it, loved it. The layout, the painting, the flooring and its simple open space design. The only thing people ask for is a clawfoot tub in the bathroom. I decided that we can just put in a stand-up shower in the basement since both bathrooms in the 2nd floor got tubs already.
I do hope this isn't going to be a problem IF and WHEN we decided to sell this place.
My daughter was running around with her DSi to capture a photo of this squirrel at Elbow Falls... and she was frustrated because she couldn't get a clear shot. She beg me to use my camera to take a picture.
I swear, when these dogs saw me with my camera pointing at them, they stopped moving around and pose for me... and as soon as I put down my camera, they started moving around and barking.... Aren't they just adorable???
There's a reason why the past is the past. Do not dwell on the past. Live for today.
Do you have your ex as your friends in Facebook? Do you still chat or post wall messages to them? Is it right for your current partner to be jealous of your ex? Is it also right for your current partner to go into your Facebook account and "unfriend" all your exes?
A friend of mine is on the edge because of Facebook. She is just way too insecure about his ex' being on his friends' list on Facebook. His ex were on a different continent, so there's really no reason to be jealous, right?
To me, there's no harm done in being friends with your ex in cyberspace. It is after all, just communicating through cyberspace. Besides, there's a reason why they are your ex now, so why be jealous of them?
A little jealousy in a relationship is healthy because that means that someone is afraid of losing YOU. But too much can ruin a relationship and can drive that person away. Stop nagging and get over it. You are who he chose to be right now.
My son used to play volleyball in school when he was in grade 7. He loved it. And though their team didn't win the final tournament among schools, and he wasn't given any special awards, I still bought him a personalized volleyball with all his team mates names on it and the year. It was so great that other parents decided to order one for their child for keeps.
Whether you are be a football, soccer, volleyball, hockey, basketball or baseball player, you can personalized say your baseball gifts to your team or even coach.
