This past weekend Rene and I headed to the wedding of my cousin Adam and his beautiful wife Guilia. The wedding took place at Casa-Dea Winery in Wellington, On.

it was a beautiful day and beautiful wedding.

Unfortunately I didn't have much of a chance to take many pictures but managed to snap a few. Still can't believe I didn't get one of the bride and groom together or Rene and I . i will have to hijack some from my mom shortly.

Again this year we were very fortunate to get an invitation to our friends , The Closs families cottage in Bobcaygeon, On.

We always have a great time when our families get together and this year was no exception!

Boating, tubing, swimming, jumping on the water trampoline, baseball games, a trip to the local pioneer village , great food and great company!

Thanks guys!

Well ball season is over, hard to believe how fast it goes. This year Carson made the Belleville Bandits Jr. Mites rep team. We were so proud of our little monkey for trying his best all season. There were touch and go moments, i must admit! it was hard for Carson to adjust at first. Being one of the youngest on the team and having some boys in their second year was a bit of a change for Carson. And did I mention it was fast ball? Man, some of those pitchers could throw a mean pitch. Despite the ups and down, the season was great! The team really played well. They won 1st place in their division and placed second in Regionals. Not to shabby!!!

We met some wonderful families and shared many laughs together. Aside from seeing my children have so much fun in sports, meeting new families has to be my favorite!

Thank you to Mike, Woody(Brent), Andrew and Dan for their wonderful coaching abilities and being such positive role models for the boys!

I found this quote by Walt Disney that really speaks to me!

It's funny when you read quote's, sometimes they mean nothing but for some reason , this quote really grabbed me today!

Maybe it's because I am one who enjoys taking new paths in life, or may be because my life is taking a few new paths at this moment?

Whatever the reason may be,

I am truly listening to a man who's life's path

I'm sure took him to places he never imagined

and who's empire today is remarkable!!!

FOR SALE!!!!!!

Well, our house selling process has been a roller coaster ride that we are still on! We had an offer on our house the second week it was on the market. The buyers finances fell through after giving him two months to figure it out..GRRR!!!!

We had another offer come in last week but we declined it as it wasn't even close to our bottom line!

Many people through and many people saying the love the house but I guess not the perfect buyer yet.

This process has taught us patience and perseverance! We are so eager to get into our dream home which is coming along nicely.

We are building with Duvanco Homes . They have been FANTASTIC to work with. Dustin and his team are wonderful and really are working for us!

We can't say enough about this builder and feel very good about choosing DUVANCO HOMES to build our dream home!

I will be posting pictures soon of our new house but i'm a little apprehensive as our house is not sold yet! :(

Rene just returned from a five day vacation to Las Vegas with his brothers dad and a few other friends. There trip was to celebrate Rene's brother Chris 's Bachelor party.

I know.. have you seen the movie "Hanghover"?? This was the thought that went through my head as well!

I'm happy to report they all arrived home safe and sound!

Rene was such a sweetie to bring us home some treats. Even something a little sparkly for me!!!

I love this man!

CANADA DAY
2010

HOWE ISLAND

Another beautiful Canada Day !

Unfortunately Shelyn and Rene were not able to join us this year but Carson and I headed to my aunt and uncles cottage on Howe Island!

I'm sure you have heard me mention Howe Island many times before.

We LOVE our trips to the island!

A TRIP TO CAMBELLFORD

For those of you who know Rene and I well, you know we have a strong love for CHOCOLATE!!

YUM!!!!

We are lucky to live very close to a Chocolate Factory in Cambellford, ON.

We grabbed our cooler one Sunday afternoon and headed out to the Factory.

We actually grabbed a pizza first and had a picnic in the park on the Trent River.

it was a great little spot to enjoy some live music and watch some beautiful boats (yachts) travel down the river.

I love family afternoons!
