Spring Thanksgiving

Image
By
I have always wondered why we only do Thanksgiving/Christmas meals only once a year.
After making my 1st turkey for Christmas I made the decision that I was definitely doing it more than twice a year.
So out went the invites to the family and in came the people and the yummy side dishes!
For obvious reasons I did this, to spend time with family, to eat great food, lots of food options and plenty of left overs.
I also realize now why this shouldn't be done this time of year... the food.  Lots of it!

Eating loads in November/December is no big deal, it's winter!
With bikini season coming up, let's just say I am not having a "Thanksgiving" meal until November!

It was great fun though, I absolutely love my family and I am taking every possible chance to see them and get to know them better since I have never had the opportunity to spend this much time with them.

    Becca and John,

    Good food. Good treats. Great company!

    You know, I am very fortunate to have you as a cousin. You are truly a great person. I enjoy your positive energy, your thoughtfulness and how you put a strong emphasis on family. These are very important traits to have. It's not often I meet someone as young as yourself, that has this figured out. I guess Uncle Dougie and Aunt Catherine brought you up right.

    Keep up the good work. Continue being a Good Mother and wife. Follow your dreams. And keep reaching for the stars. (and always remember to keep a little Jamaican in you!)

    Love,

    Cuz Robert

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured.  Can't wait to see the professional ones!                                 Waiting for the go ahead                                         It's time!!                              Everyone ready t...

Long Awaited

By
Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.

Rachael Emily-Baby Naming

By
The hardest part about having a child for me is finding a name.  I have been dreading the naming process, that is why we started so early. I didn't get a name for Ethan until I went into labor and was hoping that would not be the case this time. I am a super organized control freak kind of person so it has been stressing me out. We decided to go to Barnes and Noble to give it another try.  While searching, and hating every name, I re-suggested a name that I have loved for a long time and we decided! Yay! I was SO excited! I still am so excited. I never would've guessed we would find a name so soon. For now I will announce the middle names and save her name for her birth announcement.  The middle names are Rachael Emily. Rachael is to honor my lovely sister that passed 8 years ago.  She is my heart. Emily is my little sisters middle name, and she is my everything. My 2 favorite people balled up into one precious angel, our daughter. =) Celebrate with a pum...
