I'm Back!!!

Wow, I know, I know, it's been a long time since my last post (I'm such a slacker!). It's been a pretty eventful last few months. From birthday parties, to home renovations, to my ongoing back problem (thank goodness for morphine...I'm a permanent resident of LaLa Land!!!). Well, enough about that boring stuff....let's move on to something much more fun and exciting....my ever-growing little princess...my baby Alexis!!! She celebrated her first birthday back in April and Jon and I couldn't be more proud. She went from speed-demon crawler to hell-on-wheels walker/runner!!! Her little chubby legs are soooooooo cute when she runs, and she has that "Don't get in my way, I'm on a mission" look on her face!!! We recently bought her a pool to swim in, and let's just say that her first time was quite interesting. She would not let go of Daddy the entire time she was in. Her second time was a lot more relaxing, she actually let go of me and ventured off into the 'unknown'!!! Not only is she an Olympic runner 'in training', but she is also a future gardener, soccer player, bird-watcher, artist, TV critic, rock collector, and comedian. Talk about one busy little girl, hey??!! Well, needless to say that she is just so much fun at this age, and we and our families just can't get enough of her. I've decided to post a bunch of different pics for your enjoyment. Oh My God, she is just so cute (I know I'm biased, but I just can't help it!!!) Stay tunned for future updates on how her 'training' is coming along!!!

Don't Mess With Me!!!

Well, as promised, here is another posting of my sweetheart! I have to say that she has developed quite the personality, as you can see in this picture!!! This is her 'Don't mess with me' face. She gets this from both her Mommy and her Daddy. She just turned 11 months old the other day and boy is she a lot fun! Just ask any of our family members and friends. She has really become quite the comedian...she likes to make sounds and faces just to get people to laugh...and laugh we do, all of the time. Not only is she a speed-demon crawler, but she is now getting ready to walk..LOOK OUT!!! Our little angel loves to sing along with Mommy, play video games with Daddy, give kisses to Baba, Dido, Auntie, and of course Mommy and Daddy! Her favourite games are peek-a-boo, looking at photo albums (which she loves to pull off of the shelves!), knocking over anything she can get her little hands on, and doing 'laps' around the living room coffee table...wow, what an exhausting life she has!!! But just remember not to upset her or else she'll give you her famous face!!!!

Here's My Beef

People...there is something that we all know is just plain wrong and nobody wants to talk about it. So I will take the liberty in doing so. I am talking about the Burger King mascot....the freaky looking, peeping tom, stalker-like, nymphomaniac King! Is it just me or is it kinda creepy that he ends up in bed with some guy in the morning offering him some incentive in the way of a hamburger! Or how he magically grows to over a hundred feet tall and starts peeping into some couger's bedroom window just to offer her a hamburger!! Or even how he ends up kidnapping and killing some poor shlup's girlfriend while riding a romantic bicycle-built-for-two just to have the opportunity to ride behind him and, yet again, offer him a hamburger!!! Or better still, how he ends up in a laundromat waving some guy's scivies around his finger while he enjoys watching him eat his hamburger!!!! Now come on people, would you honestly remain calm if you were in a situation like that, and take the time to put away one of those disgusting hamburgers while having some creepy looking guy stand there with his creepy smile on his face??!! I think NOT!!! You never know where his hands have been....EEEEEWWWW, that's why he has that smile on his face!!!!!!!!!

Why Canada Lost

The top 10 reasons why the Canadian men's hockey team lost at the Olympics:

10. They drank too much vino (that's italian for wine!)

9. They were too hung over from the vino!

8. Not enough practice...they got lost on the way...or stopped into the local tavern.

7. They didn't take their performance enhancing drugs.

6. The Canadian women's team didn't give them enough pointers.

5. They weren't paid enough.

4. Their jock straps were too tight.

3. Jet-lag

2. The other teams were better.

1. Wayne told them to because he betted on the Russians!

My Precious Angel

Here is our sweet baby girl. Alexis Marie, born April 15 of last year. She is just over 10 months old now and she is the apple of our eye. Both Jon and I never thought that we could love someone so much but she is just the most wonderful baby in the world! She is the perfect combination of the two of us and we couldn't be more proud to be her parents. It is so exciting to watch her grow and experience new things. She loves to crawl around and explore everything and loves to get into lots of mischief! She just started to point at everything and talks to herself at the same time, then laughs! She gives the best hugs and kisses, and loves to snuggle while watching her shows...Sesame Street, Blue's Clues, It's a Big Big World, The Price is Right, Family Feud, and Wheel of Fortune...yep she loves game shows just like her Baba! This is the first of many more posting and pics of her!

My First Blog

This is my very first posting on my blog. I have to admit that I am, what my husband refers to me as, a 'user'. In other words, I have no idea what the heck I'm doing when it comes to computers (sometimes he's right, but I would NEVER tell him that!)!!! He likes to make fun of me, so I just tell him to attempt to do some of the things that I do on a daily basis such as the cleaning, the cooking, and taking care of our little 10 month old girl, and he immediately takes it back...hahahaha!!!! Anyway, this is the first of many more entries to come; let me know what you think!!!
