Sometimes you just have to

I decided that I needed to have an afternoon with my little one and company. Some pics (out of 327_just a few) of our day at Beaver Lake. Addy is FEARLESSSSS.. Love this kid!

Experimenting with Picas.. Taking flight

So Picasa is one hell of a little piece of software.. and it's FREEEEE OMG..
So here is a collage of the one of the water bombers that I took last weekend at Sproat Lake.. I'm very impressed with all of this.. ...

Peace and Relaxation and a FREAKEN good time

Well I finally had a chance to let loose. Daryl took me up to Sproat lake to his family's camp sit. It was amazing. The water was just maybe less then 50 ft away.
The lake was AMAZING, the water was so clean, and you could see the bottom.


This is me tubing for the first time.. what a BLAST. I had never tried this before, and I'm hooked. I didn't want to stop, but unfortunatly my body did.. Let's just say that I can REALLLLY feel it this morning!


This pic is of Daryl getting ready to head out onto the water for the first time. He is amazing on a water ski. And well NICE on the eyes as well... TEE HEE



and finally my Escape is being used for what one of the reasons I bought it for..... it finally looks like a west coast vehicle.. LOL. Thanks to Scotty for letting me borrow the company kayak!

I have so many more pics to put up on the web, but I want to give you all a little teaser of my past weekend!!!!

Sea Creature

Rediscovering clay again, has been a flood of ideas. IT's been a long time since I really wanted to just created..and thanks to Vanessa and my sister Dee I was able to create my first full piece in a LONG time. I'm happy with the results and looking forward to creating a mate for this little guy.
Thanks Guys....

Area 51

Well it's finally coming together.. My craft area is just about organized and ready to create something. Area 51 is just about complete.

But for now, I look and shake my head thinking how did I get so much stufffff.

Adele is growing so much, and changing so fast. She is so adorable and makes me laugh all the time..

New beginning

Ok so once again, perhaps I will give this blogging thingy another go!
YES I'm going to try and clay.. really I promise...
I plan on cleaning the "AREA 51" that I call my craft area.
Last weekend, was spent with Vanessa. Not alot of craft time.. but she showed me how to do MG.... hence why I want to get Area 51 cleaned up so I can at least do something!

OK that's it for now... FOR NOW... ;-)

Running and tattoos

Well it's been a couple of months since my last entry, and many things have happened.
1. Addy and I have moved into a very lovely new home. It's home now, and I love it.
2. I did it.. I did my half marathon in 2 hours and 34 minutes. I was thrilled to reach that finish line. I ran for me, for my daughter and for my father. There was a moment when I was running I reached the ocean, the sun was shining and for that moment I closed my eyes and felt the ray of sunshine warm my face. And for a moment, I thought I could feel my dad beside me.
On that note, I am really missing my father right now, fall was his favorite season. Watching the leaves fall really makes the memories come flooding in.
3. I finally have a new tattoo. It's my homage to Addy. I love it. It's so different but it's me.
