I Heart Long Weekends!

I hope you're all enjoying your long weekend. I know I've been having fun soaking up the sun and cooking absolutely everything on the bbq!! lol Here are the past few photos from Project 365 that I was unable to post on Facebook (technical difficulties a.k.a. technology doesn't like me much). So here ya go.......



Day 139 - A beautiful evening walk in the park. I like how they have neat street lamps in my neighbourhood as opposed to the regular old lamp posts. It gives it and old-school feel I really like.



Day 140 - Jordan and I took Coop to play at the park, and Jordan ended up having the most fun haha There is nothing funnier than watching a 25yr old man pretend to be 5 again. Pretty darn cute if you ask me.


Day 141 - The smoke from all of the wildfire going on around us made our walk a little depressing. Originally the photo was in color but the smoke ruined it so I changed it to B&W. I'm excited to get this one printed and send it off to my mom (she talks about Cooper as if he's her grandson haha it's pretty funny).


Day 142 - Took a quick walk by the Snye River today. Wasn't much action on the river, but the weeds to the side were rather charming. It's amazing how something referred to as a weed could be so pretty :)


 Day 143 - Good morning everyone! Cooper and I found these cute Buttercups on our  morning walk. Luckily I was able to take a picture before Coop realized how darn tasty they were haha.


Happy Victoria Day! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

My Life In Pictures : Project 365

My Life In Pictures : Project 365

Day 123 - Another beautiful evening in my neighbourhood.......
Day 124 - They're back! The caterpillars that is. I don't remember them being around this early in the season, but as we discovered they're setting up camp.
Day 125 - We arrived in Grande Prairie and found Dodo here having a little nap. I love him not only because he looks exactly like my two lil munckin cats, but because he's off the wall! The spunkiest cat I've met :)
Day 126 - In honour of Mother's Day weekend, I thought Sally here deserved a little shout out. The proud mama gave birth to five little kittens the day before we arrived in GP. They were holding down the fort in the bottom of the hay shed so unfortunately I couldn't nab a photo of them. I will make sure to track them down next visit, and show you how big they've grown!
Day 127 - I'm not sure who the BBQ was more fun for. The people, or the dogs haha There were seven dogs running around playing together that day. I think it would be appropriate to call it doggy paradise haha. I was trying to get a photo of Zoe's beautiful ice blue eyes, but you can imagine the difficulty I was presented trying to chase around 7 dogs and separate them....it didn't happen. This was a happy accident of sorts...
Day 128 - We did Vega's very first photo shoot today! She's absolutely perfect!
Day 129 - Back home from Grande Prairie this evening. It was the perfect night to come home to...
Day 130 - My little boy just keeps growing. I know this may be a biased opinion, but he's the best puppy ever!
Day 131 - Cooper sat under this light post for a good 5 minutes, staring at the little bird. He's obsessed with birds lately, which I suppose goes with his breed being a retriever and all. I'm almost positive he's hoping they'll play with him haha

I have a few more photos to upload, but my camera bag along with my camera are in the truck. This normally wouldn't be a problem but Jordan's at work, and I'm pretty sure he has the keys with him.....or I lost them, and I'm certainly not ready to admit to that hahaha. I will be sure to upload them as soon as the key's are located!! Happy Friday everybody, I hope your weekend is fantastic!

Going Off The Grid

 Hey everyone. I hope all is well wherever you may be. I announced a post or so ago, that our beautiful little niece was welcomed into the world. Sooo, we are picking up and heading to meet her finally!!  I've been so excited I could hardly sleep last night. Despite the looong boring drive, I want to get on the road A.S.A.P! Not only do we have our new niece there but her big sister Shae, and her Grandma :D It's a full house which makes this trip extra special.
 I certainly hope you guys have a great weekend as well. If you don't have any major plans make sure to get out there and enjoy the sunshine if it shows its face! The last few sunny days I've been locked inside working, and really regret not taking advantage, so don't make the same mistake I did (although it really did pay off haha).
 Well I should probably get going,here's my Project 365 photos for the last couple days to hold you over while I'm off the grid......

 Day 122 - Cooper walks so well on his leash....until he see's Festus. Then it's pretty much like trying to hold back a bucking bronco. Well, I imagine it's pretty comparable haha
 Day 123 - I'm obsessed with the sky lately. The sky is probably one of Alberta's greatest scenic assets. Nothing blocks the view of beautiful fluffy clouds :)
Day 124 - Calm before the storm....
 

 Like I said earlier, make sure to get out there and make the most of your weekend, and weather if you have the opportunity. I know my weekend is going to be great, and I'm excited to share it with you when I return.  Okay I really have to go for real......Jordan's standing at the bottom of the stairs yelling for me and I can only say "1 more minute", for so many minutes before they start to add up haha CIAO
