Proud to be Canadian ▌♥ ▌

Wow - what an intense game. Could hardly watch! We raced home from church today to watch the game, made it home in record time. Enjoyed the game with tuna sandwiches, popcorn and coke! Good thing the neighbours weren't home with all the screams that game from team Worsey. In all the celebrations I told Richard that this is how winning feels. Maybe we'll do the same with England at the world cup......MAYBE. Way to go Canada in the Olympics, what a great all round show from all of our athletes! ▌♥ ▌

Happy 2nd Birthday Aylish!

I can't believe she's two already and both her and I have survived thus far. My baby girl is growing so fast, she really is a delight to have around (most of the time). Aylish is such a happy kid who is always 6 steps ahead of her mom on her next adventure. She is so much fun, she keeps us ALL busy but always has time to stop for a cuddle. Here she is on the morning of her 2nd birthday sporting some of her new presents. She has also recently started 'shaking her booty' and today decided showing me a bit of her bum was hilarious! What a kid!!!!!

Woot woo!

Bless my little 8 year old. Last week I was REALLY sick with the pregnancy, so much so that my poor girls didn't get their hair done almost all week. For those who know me that is just unheard of. Anyway, this particular day Shannon decided that she was going to help me by doing Aylish's hair. What a fab attempt. I love you Shannon!

We Have Basement Walls!!!!

Here is our basement, it's so much fun to see it actually taking shape. I know again this probably means nothing to you but OH WELL! I love it, love it, love it! If you love it too you can come over and visit me anytime!

BOWLING!!!

Richard and I had so much fun last Saturday night bowling at our wards Elders/High Priest activity. I am pleased to say that I came in 2nd place for our serious bowling round but nothing could beat the fun of the second round. Each of us took a turn deciding how we would crazy bowl for that round. From kicking the bowling ball to spinning and throwing - it was hilarious. I love this video of Rob Hill doing the crab bowl!!! Sooooo fun!!!

Shannon's Baptism

I almost forgot to post this very special event. My eldest daughter Shannon was baptized in Wales while we were over there. I cannot believe I'm old enough to have an eight year old. I have been truly blessed to have Shannon in my life. She is a beautiful little girl, full of spirit and love for everyone. She is a wonderful example to her 3 little sisters and always has time for them. We love her so very much.

The Beginning of Something Wonderful!

Let's just say that I am a little bit excited that we are finally able to start building our family home. We're building on the North end of the Taylor Street Chapel in Raymond. My new house should be finished and ready for us to move in June 1st this year. Check out the pics of the hole in the ground and the footings. They should be starting the basement on Monday......so exciting!!!!!!

Aylish's Hospital Experience

Aylish got tubes in her ears last week after months of ear infections and a burst eardrum. The procedure was only 5 minutes and other than the heart wrenching SCREAMS when they took her away from me - you'd never have known anything had even happened to her. She came out of the recovery room (10 minutes after they took her away from me) totally fine and running around. All of the other kids who had it done were sleeping, groggy and crying...is there nothing that can slow this kid down? Don't be fooled by her sitting still drinking her bottle - this was merely for effect.....I told her to look like she had just come out of anesthetic for the purpose of a good picture.

Carly & Adam's Wedding

On January 22nd, my baby sister Carly and her handsome prince got married! Yay. It was so fun having the family all fly over from the UK - just wish they could have stayed longer. Although I don't have any pics of the bride and groom (I forgot my camera) here are a few shots of my girls in their bridesmaid dresses and furry shrugs that Gramma made.

Christmas 2009

For Christmas went returned to Wales to spend the Christmas break with family and friends. We had a 'splendid' time!

Shannon was spending the day at Nanny Worsey's so she's missing but this is a picture of Richard, Keira, Rylee and Aylish at Southstack near Holyhead Anglesey. It was SOOOOO freezing that day.

How about trying to get all four girls to pose by a British Telephone box...what a joke. Here's our best attempt!

Here's Richard and the girls in Caernarfon Castle. Again, another freezing day - even for us hardy Canadians, dang the damp can be SOOOO COLD!

Slap my hands and call me lazy!

So here I am again, this time I'm going to try REALLY hard to keep my blog more up to date. We just purchased a beautiful new iMac which will help me tons, our old "PC" was a "Piece of Crap" and wouldn't allow me to do ANYTHING. I have so many things that I want to share with everyone, exciting news and so many wonderful pictures. So, without further hesitation, let our story begin.....again.
