Exam

My exam was the hardest I have written in 35 years. It was extremely hard!#!#!#. Won't get my marks probably for another week.

Holy Holiday....

Its coming FAST!!! Hope you're all ready!! I'm still trying to get all my last minute shopping done! Of course!

I'm getting pretty excited now! When I book a trip that far in advance it doesn't seem real until its... REAL close!

Ah, 6 days in the hot sun! Can't wait.

Oh, check out my video. I entered a contest to win 25,000 bucks.

And Mother.... how was your exam!??!?

Another Toast

Connie, I kind of had myself confused. I'm okay now, the effects of the beer have worn off. Look out Mexico, I've been practising. Happy Today Birthday to Kim. This just makes her officially 32.

Mom, are you drunk?

Last time I checked Kim's birthday is on April 27, which is today, not yesterday.

Happy Birthday Kim....I'll call you later.

Mom, go have another beer, I think you need one! ;O)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Kim turned 32 today. Happy Birthday Wishes to you. Sounds like you had a Great Day.

Fancy Toes

Finally used the gift certificate for Alberta Spa and Massage you guys gave me. I went for a pedicure. Poor lady doing it must of been discussed. That was like 50 years of callouses growing. The dremel had a great work-out. Anyways I loved it, what a great gift! Got the paraffin wax, the leg massage, the polish....total relaxation. Ahhhhhhhh! Damn, then I had to go to work. lol. bye.

HaHaHa.

I was showing Auntie Carmele the Blog and the picture of Gavin with his speedos came up. You should of seen her face.....it was priceless.....she didn't want to say anything but her expression said it all.....lol...then she realized it was super-imposed. That was a good one Lori. And as far as Gavin, well the real you is MUCH better.

Sounds like you had fun at the ball game. I must admit you seem to have changed in 3 months. Could it be the straight hair? the tan? the pose? I don't know, but I do know we miss you. I'm anxious for the wedding.

Astros vs Rockies

So, Kim Bill and Addyson weren't able to make it to Houston. Gav and I still went to the ball game. Who would've known that after Friday night ball games they have fireworks.....really good fireworks. I posted a couple vids of that too (don't mind the conversation thats going on during the videos).

No Socks!?!?!?

Dad is so-o-o disappointed, no socks with his sandals. But then, there was some good news. Gavin with his Speedos. (his body seems to be going to s.... since moving to Houston) Dad figures he'll out do the show with his flashy blue trunks. Just wait until you see them!!! I tell you, he's going to be the next 60 plus fashion model. Mexican fashion will never be the same.

Fashion in Mexico

Soooo.... Connie.... no socks and sandles.... but is this ok for fashion in Mexico? Just wondering....

Baby Addy

Well our baby had her first illness...still has it. She puked last night and then had a temp. Her last temp reading was 36.8 which is the lowest it has been all day. Hopefully, the fever will break. Needless to say, we didn't get our plans completed today as we were busy with Addy as she is number one. Well, she seems to be drinking her baby gatorade so we'll see how that goes. If the fever holds down, that would be a great relief for our lil munchkin!!! We have a doc appt tomorrow as well for her 6 month checkup.

Take care,
K

Just a reminder to those wearing sandals in Mexico.... ;O)

This is NOT ALLOWED: This also is NOT ALLOWED:
I'm pretty sure not only the Mexican Police will arrest you....but so will the Fashion Police!!!
Don't forget to leave the socks at HOME!!!!

Packing?

Better hurry Kim. Dad started packing for our holiday today. No, he's not anxious......you think!!! He even found the list you made. It was temporarily misplaced....like in the camera case (haha, so if I didn't know where it was, I would eventually find it) He seems to have the big, humongus suitcase half full already and its just his stuff. Did he tell you, he's staying. He plans on becoming a Mexican Beach Bum and I can get the furniture down there anyway I want.

Packing.....

Well Kim, Bill and Addy.....I hope you guys are packing your stuff and getting ready to come to Texas....only a few more sleeps!!!!

YEAH!!!

Babysitting

oops...my response said that I survived babysitting "baby" kids but that should be "bad" kids! hopefully Addy is good in Texas or she'll scare C&G and we'll never be invited back!!!

What?

What does the PS mean. Are you blaming us cause you babysat kids? Remember, you didn't have too, but you did because you wanted money in a very limited job market. You survived living in Willow Bunch and at least you got out. Think of all those still there.

A Big Night

Hey there, I just wanted to login and tell you that our lil baby Addy slept from 8:45 to am without waking up her Mommy and Daddy! WOWSERS! We were impressed. However, the poor lil munchkin's reward for such a good night's sleep were her 6 month shots at 8am today. She is doing very well!! She is bouncing in her jumperoo like nothing ever happened. And, she also put herself to sleep for an afternoon nap by watching her crib toys sing to her. This doesn't happen often!

Bye for now...9 more sleeps til we see Auntie Con and Uncle Gav.
K.
PS I survived babysitting some baby kids....maybe that is why I was 31 before having Addyson!!

Pictures

I like both those pictures. Guess now you have to decide if you want calm as in the palm trees or excitement as in the fireworks. This should prove to be interesting as which one you decide on.
You liked Addy's picture too. It is too funny. So sweet and innocent and yet brings laughter to all our lives. I love her to pieces. We won't be seeing her until after the wedding either too. Thank goodness for the videos!!! Of course you must remember she's going on vacation next week. Gotta go see Auntie Connie and Uncle Gavin. This could be good or bad. If she's bad, she could influence C & G into waiting longer before having children. Standing joke in W.B. was always if you wanted kids and couldn't decide, baby-sit the Joyal boys and go from there. HaHa. Gotta go, a day off and I'm wasting it on the computer.

Super cute...

Hahahahha.... That queen wave is hilarious. I put that pic on my background.
Kim, have you seen any seat sales to Regina?? I want to come see Addy! I guess it'll have to be after the wedding.

Heres my super exciting news... hope you're sitting down.... I ordered some pics for my living room. Not sure which one I'll hang up yet. See, super exciting!

Addy's a Queen

Addyson looks like she's giving us a "Queen Wave". She looks real cool with her sunglasses. Gotta protect those eyes. So Peek-A-Boo seems to be her latest new thing. Still like the MaMa best.

Peek A Boo

I SEE YOU!!!

Houston

Hi there,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm getting ready for my Houston trip. Mommy bought me some shades and a ball cap so I'm ready for some warmer weather! Well, right now, I couldn't decide...HOT or COLD!!

Busy, Busy, Busy.

Lori, my exam week-end is April 26,27. I'm working the week-end prior, but Dad will be here. Seems to be a usual thing when you come home now. Uncle Victor is working in the Hat right now and is staying here. Should be here all month and then Auntie Carmele will be coming sometime later. Teva actually sneaked into his bed the other nite. Demo at Lori's house. I don't really like the sound of that idea....Glad I live in The Hat.

Lori News

Hi. Thought I should make an appearance here, its been a while.

Kim, tx for posting the videos. They are super cute. Little Addy is growing up so fast! And I can't believe you won all that food. Leave it to our Kimberly to get the HIGHEST amount ever.

Gavin.... happy bday. Do you even look at this thing??? I'm guessing you forget how to sign in. Feel free to let us know whats happening once in a while. I know you're not computer illiterate... You're the only one here who has a blackberry. Get posting!

As for me, got a busy weekend ahead. Hope to get alot of shopping done, and stuff around my condo still. At the least I hope to find a dress for the wedding. Also, got a TV this week. Still have to work on wall mounting it. Its NEEDS at wood stud and my place is metal frame. So... sorry Dad... there WILL be demo's ahead. And Dad, why haven't you been posting? Hows Teva doing?

Uh, what else... floor hockey is done, we won the A side! Now ball is starting up. Indoor practice this weekend. Get to try out my new bats! Fun!

Timed my walk into work... it takes 5 mins to bike... or 20 to walk. Not bad! That'll be nice in the summer to get out in the nice weather for a bit!

Thats about it. Gotta get back to work. Bye bye.

Oh mom, when is your exam again? Can I come the weekend of the 19th/20th? Or is that study weekend?

Belated Birthday

Happy Belated Birthday Gavin. I thought of it, just didn't get the card sent on time...sorry. Hope it was good.

Wowzer!!!

Your furniture is beautiful. Very rich looking with the dark floors. I see The King seems very comfortable. I'm so anxious to see your place. Guess Kim and Bill will be the first. Still shopping for a dress for the wedding. Not having very much luck. May is coming so fast and so is April 27 (for my exam, in case anyone forgot, and oh yes, it's also Kim's birthday). I plan on getting a little bit of tanning in before going to Mexico. Anyone else?
