Inspirational Blog

I ran into this blog and it made me want to be a better person! I think all the time, how I need to be better in so many aspects of my life and yet I am not actively taking the steps I need to be taking! I think this blog is full of great thoughts and ideas of things I can be doing everyday to be the person I want to be and that I know that I can be.

If you have the time, start at the beginning. Oh and make sure to watch the clip on Day 9 it is FUNNY!

Leger Christmas Party

It's hard to believe that we just finished with another year of the Leger family Christmas party! Mike and Lesley have been hosing this party for 22 years now and it is always lots of fun and a time to see how talented the family is!


After dinner and talents, Santa comes bearing gifts. Santa even brought Jeff a present, he must have been a good boy this year.

Mason (Jeremy and Emilys little boy) made his first appearance to the Christmas party and he was a big hit! You can see why, is he not a little DOLL! He is such a happy baby!


We ended the night with the usual games, the whistle game and musical chairs. I was wishing I had a video camera during musical chairs! Jeff keeps everyone laughing as he dances his way around the circle... he is a hoot!!
It was a fun night and went by way to fast! Thanks Mike and Lesley!

Lunch with the girls


How could I possibly forget to post the DH girls luncheon? Thanks for the reminder Joelle! We met in Park City this time and after a delicious lunch at Ruby Tuesdays we hit the outlets for some serious SHOPPING!


Ryker is getting so big and so cute and we all just dote over him the whole time! It was so fun to catch up with all the girls and laugh at all the old stories!

Just like old times, Ashley and I can't help but dress up in some crazy outfits at the stores if we get half a chance!!
SUpEr fUN DAy GIrLS, THANKS!!!

Craft Day


Last Saturday my cousin Chantel and our friend Ashley got together for a Christmas craft day. We were cutting it a little close seeing how Christmas is like 10 days away, what can I say, I have been a few steps behind on everything this year!


I just love doing crafts and I just love these two girls! It was a very fun and successful day!


With all the estrogen in the house, Jeff couldn't help but get in on the action. Doesn't he look nice with his trendy scarf and man bag? We thought so!


I was honestly shocked that we got them all done (a total of 8 sets) before we all had to head out for the night. These are 2 of my four sets and they each did two. Chantel and Ashley's were similar to the set on the right but their top block was different (unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take any photos). We had so much fun we will probably be getting together again this week to do a few more:)

Not so curly, Curly Willow

To most this probably looks like a picture out of a Halloween movie, not the case! My mother has had a Curly Willow wreath hanging on her front room wall for years and for as many I have desperately wanted one on my front room wall!

Mine is not so curly but nonetheless makes me smile!! I can't say for sure why I love my new wreath so much but... I just do! Maybe because is sticks out almost as far as it is wide, hard to say exactly.

Oh, and do you see the Santa Claus standing on the floor next to smaller green wreath (I think I need to move that wreath elsewhere by the way) that is the only, yep, ONLY Christmas decor in my whole house. Scrooge!!

I've been tagged- redo

For some reason the date on my original 'tagged' post was Dec. 4, 2oo...8. So therefore it will show up ahead of all my post for a very long time if I don't fix it and sadly the only way to fix it (that I know of) is to re-write it and delete the other:(

Well, it's been a while ago now that I was 'tagged' by my sister Kathryn to share 6 habits or interesting facts about myself. After which I am supposed to tag 6 people to do the same and leave a comment on their blog letting them know.
Here are the problems though... first off I don't have 6 interesting things to say about myself not to mention I don't think I have 6 friends to tag. I'll see what I can come up with. Well, here goes:

*I am the worst possible speller!!! The longer I went to college the worse I got! I am sure if you have read many of my post you are well aware of this fact. Please forgive me!

*I have serious sleeping issues. Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that I can and do sleep anytime, anywhere! Luckily I had good friends in the hygiene program with me that would take turns waking me up during exams. It was bad :o (that is a yawn). Needless to say when my alarm goes off at 5:04 in the morning I want to DIE!

*Before I got married I used to go country swing dancing every week... by myself! I LOVED IT and felt like I was pretty good at it!!! I really feel like that is the one passion I actually had in my life and I had to give it up:"( I guess he is worth it!!

*I LOVE to play board and card games. Jeff and I play them all the time together and I can never get enough. I am not all about the games you have to be smart to play but more the easy fun ones:)

*I am very allergic to guinea pigs (random huh!), we are talking eyeballs and eyelids swollen shut! NOT PRETTY! And cats give me serious asthma! I'm a nerd:)

I am tagging: Emily L., Emily P., Darcie and Joelle
