A Night at the Oscars

Yesterday was a fun filled day for our family. After church we decided to go house and van shopping! We went and looked at some show homes in Stonebridge. We are planning on building our own house within the next year, so we have been looking for a lot that we can build our house without a builder. This is not easy to find right now in Saskatoon! We have looked at all the new neighborhoods, and none of them have available lots (unless we would build with a builder). We would like to move to Warman, but they also have no lots. The earliest they will have some is August, so we have decided to make that the start time to get our house going. We have designed our own house (since Ryan is a designer/drafter) and we are just in the process of getting quotes to see if we can afford our design. House prices have been jumping like crazy lately, so we want to get moving as soon as possible, but I guess we'll have to wait until August. Anyway, after the house looking, we went looking at Vans. The little Acura EL has finally been outgrown by our growing family (actually we outgrew it 6 months ago when Ashtyn was born, but have been squeezing all our stuff into it). It will be sad to let our car go, but it is really time for a van. We are thinking about a Venture, Montana or Silohette. Any advice???!! We made a quick stop at Costco for some pizza, chips and cookies, and then were off to Rod and Janelle's to watch the Oscars. We had an awesome time hanging out and the kids played really well. I cant wait to move closer to you Janelle!! Thanks for letting us come over! As for the oscar dresses, these are a few of my favorites:

Reese Witherspoon looked amazing, unfortunatly without Ryan Phillippe

(I'm still mad about them). Nicole Kidman looked like a doll, but absolutley amazing, and of course, the always cute Smith family.

Valentines Day (again)

Happy Valentines Day again! Hope you all had a romantic time with your sweetheart! Ryan & I went to the Keg for dinner, which we LOVE! We had to wait in line for 30 minutes just to sit in the lounge, but it was worth the wait! Thank-you to my Mom-in-law for taking care of Jadyn and Ashtyn! Thanks also to auntie Jen for the adorable valentines shirts for the boys. I think they suited them well! In case you cant read them, Jadyn's says "Perfect Gentleman, I really know how to treat a lady" and Ashtyn's says "Most Eligible Bachelor" SOOO CUTE! Here they are:

New Orleans

ok, this was last week, but I'm a little behind on the blogging life. So, last Sunday (Superbowl sunday) my husband got to take a nice little trip to a warm little city called New Orleans! His work sent him there for a conference, but all he had to do was go to some classes during the day and then he had the entire evenings to do what ever he wanted! In New Orleans! Yeah Right! He got all his expenses paid for except for the extra things he wanted to do in the evenings. I'm just at home in Saskatoon where its -25 degrees with 2 kids to take care of while he's out having fun in +25 degree sunshine!!! No, I'm not bitter. I'm really happy for him. Not bitter at all.

Actually, I went to my parents house for a few days and then to Ryan's parents for a day and we had a lot of fun (other than Ashtyn thinking he was a new born again and eating 3-4 times a night). Ryan did bring us home some souveniers though. Ashtyn got an outfit, Jadyn got a saints cap and I got a pink and brown zip up hoodie that says French Quarter on it, very cute! Maybe next time I'll have to go with him when he goes to a warm location with good shopping!

Happy Valentines Day to me!

So thanks to my impatient husband and son, I got my valentines day present early this year! To be honest, I'm not sure if I've ever gotten a valentines day present from my husband, but this year he made up for it all! Ryan, Jadyn and Ashtyn picked out this beautiful neclace! Ryan maybe would have waited until valentines day, but when they got home Jadyn said "We bought a neclace for you Mommy, but I cant tell you!" Ryan was ok with that since he couldn't wait either. They did an excellent job, I love it so much! Thanks boys!
