Playing with the Pan!

Snapped this picture of Daxon playing with the cereal bar I gave him


Maybe he's planning on becoming a chef!

While Baby's Away, Mommy Will Play!

Last week, my sister and brother in-law were kind enough to offer to take Daxon for a few day's so Derek and I could get some work done around the house. I have to admit, the first day and a half I didn't get much work done. In fact it was the first time ever since Daxon was born, that I was in the house by myself (Derek was at work), so I had to take advantage of it! I had a bubble bath (and didn't have to worry about Daxon waking up from his nap), I cleaned the house (and it stayed clean for more then 5 mins), made cookies (the best I have ever made) and enjoyed a glass (who am I kidding, it was a bottle!) of wine. We did get a little work done, not as much as I hoped. By the end I was missing my little man (well from the moment he left I was missing him), but it was nice to have a little Heidi time and Derek and Heidi time.

Embrace the Camera

A welcome sight (Daxon smiling) as he's just getting over a fever!

My poor Baby

So we made it 3 months with out being sick, which is an accomplishment around our house, as it seems like since last April (when Daxon got sick for the first time) he has been sick a least once a month (including his birthday).

It started with him just being a little irritable all day and more tired then usual, which led to him puking all over me (the joys of motherhood that I wouldn't change for the world) and then again. So I checked his temperature which was 39°C (102°F), so I gave him a bath to cool him down (and wash off the puke) and some Advil and about an hour later he was running around and playing. He ended up waking up in the middle of the night with the fever again, but seems better this morning.

So this is what the day looked like!

The NEW counter tops! YAY!!!!

As mentioned in a previous post Derek, my Dad and I spent last weekend (and Monday) installing new counter tops in our kitchen and here is the final product! This was one task that was weighing heavily on our minds, as we had to start from scratch and make all new counter tops (in our last house we just put it over the old tops and it was much smaller) and we knew we couldn't do it alone. So when my Dad offered to help, it was a big relief. Most of the things we have to finish now, in order to sell are house are smaller projects and we are hoping by the end of the month to have her ready to sell (fingers crossed).

Here is the before to refresh your memory

And the After! I'm so happy with the way they turned out!

Looks much more classy!

We had purchased a new hood range for the stove but, realized our house was much more high tech then we thought and had a fan already built in so Derek's dad offered to paint the old one and it turned out great (and saved a little cash).

There he is!

The case of the missing drumstick!

We celebrated St Patrick's Day with a Green beer with our feast we had for supper.


After we finished eating Derek looks over at the table and spots this little monkey, who had taken a drumstick right off the table (Oh so funny!). My immediate reaction was to take it away, but not without a picture first.

Of course you need the milk to wash the chicken down with!

Let the snow melt!

With the nice weather here for a few days, Daxon got a chance to try out his new spring jacket and rubber boot!

Another Item Off the List

This is what we were up to this weekend

New counter tops!



Definitely a much bigger job then I had anticipated. Thanks to my Dad who spent 3 of his 6 days off helping us. I will post some finale pictures a little later.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Made up this candy bouquet for my Mom for her Birthday, and celebrated with Daxon and my sister who prepared a wonderful supper for the special occasion.

Snack Time

Daxon having a little snack! I absolutely love the look on his face and how you can see all this teeth.

Soap Nuts

After seeing these "Soap Nuts" on the Dragons Den, I thought I would give them a try. They are a natural cleaning detergent founded by a couple in Saskatchewan, that imports them south Asian countries. They look a little weird and smell like apple cider vinegar, but your cloths come out with no smell. You can also use them as a multipurpose cleaner and glass cleaner.

Let's Go North

This Past weekend Daxon and I headed to Eagle Bay Resort with my parents, brother and my sister (she decided to come last minute which made it much more fun). My parents have a camper their all year long, but since it was cold we got a cabin, which had 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a dishwasher! It was lots of fun and a nice little break!

Smile!

Whipped up this cookie bouquet for Derek's moms Birthday! I got to try my new cookie molds and learned that I don't need to fill them to the top, as the cookies were more like little cakes, but who's complaining!

A Little Getaway!

On Sunday we headed to Winnipeg for the night, mostly because I wanted Olive Garden and for a little family getaway. We had a great time swimming, shopping and eating!
