Secret Admirers Strike Again!!!!!!!

Ok, this afternoon I went to get into my van and found another delivery on the driver's seat!! Guess I should forget to lock my doors more often?? lol.

Anyway, 2 gift bags with the coolest stuff inside!!! My secret admirers ROCK (have I mentioned that before???) lol.

Today's delivery was all about the letter "T"

Anyway, bag #1 had a note attached asking if I thought they had forgotten about me lol .... inside were these very cool monogrammed file folders (I really want to know where they shop!!), some fuzzy chipboard letters and some very yummy sounding tea!!

Bag #2 had a note attached saying it was something to put my "T" into ... 2 awesome cat themed mugs .... one says cat lover, the other says "If Cats could talk they would lie to you"






Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You so much Secret Admirers YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trip to Candle Lake

The last time I blogged I posted about receiving a Timmy's Gift Card in the mail that morning from my secret admirers. Keegan was quite thrilled with this, as I told him that he could have his first Ice Cap on the way to the lake. I, of course had to take pictures of him enjoying his drink courtesy of my secret admirers :)


So, we had a wonderful weekend at the lake. I scrapbooked teacher gifts and cards, read my new magazines :), fished (Trevor and Brian caught fish, Keegan and I were skunked!), canoed (finding some forgotten muscles ouch), had a campfire with some great friends and basically just enjoyed some family time at the lake.
Candle Lake is so beautiful. I took this one from the canoe.
Keegan's catch of the day was fishing line and a hook :)
Even after all the years going to Candle Lake, I still have to take pictures of deer whenever I see them :)
This is my brother Trevor with his catch of the day. I was too busy with the net and getting Brian's fish off the hook and onto the chain, I didn't get a picture of his lol.

My "Secret Admirers" :)

Well, it seems I have some secret admirers :) Gotta tell ya, whoever they are THEY ROCK!!! It is driving me crazy trying to figure it out, but I am feeling very spoiled and very special :)

First, on the 12th, I received an awesome fruit basket from Blossoms Florists. It had some awesome stuff in it :) It was signed "Have a wonderful day Love your secret admirer" The basket was so full of all sorts of things and the chocolate .... oh the chocolate was soooooooo good :) Of course the fruit and everything else was too lol.




Then on Saturday, the 13th, Keegan found a package in one of our outside chairs. It was wrapped in Christmas paper and the note was "We wish you a merry weekend, We wish you a merry weekend, We wish you a merry weekend and a whole lot of fun. From your secret admirers" Inside the package was an awesome scrapbook kit from Colorbok, which is great stuff :) I have plans for some of it already :) Keegan is so into the mystery it is too funny. I was quite a proud scrappin Mommy when, as I was taking pictures, he said "Mom you need to scrapbook this" lol.



Tonight June 16, Keegan and I were at his school, then on errands and Brian went to the library to clean up a very high fine (but that's a whole 'nother blog lol). Brian went into the backyard and almost sat on this wonderful gift bag full of awesome surprises! The note says "The word on the wire is ..... You're going away this weekend! Enjoy this fun pack! Love your PEEPS (secret admirers!!!!!!!!!) Inside this bag was another scrapbook kit which is fantastic! Three magazines ... Canadian Scrapbooker, which is one of my faves, Scrapbooks Etc, another fave and Crafts and Things which is a crafting fave for all kinds of stuff!! There was also this really cool kit I have never seen before .... it is called Freeze Squeeze ... 8 tubes of different flavored liquid, you add alcohol, shake, freeze and enjoy :) Some yummy yummy flavors in there too!!! Then there was also Bits and Bites, beef jerky, gum, spitz and Nibs :) Keegan is all excited about some of that stuff!!! lol.



Anyway, I am feeling so thankful and so very special and I can't wait to find out who has been pampering me :) Thanks Secret Admirers!!!!!!!

The Bikini Boys Did It Again!!!

The Heel and Wheel A Thon for Crohns and Colitis Research was alot of fun again this year! It is always a great visit with my friends Lori Ann and Murray and their awesome kids Clay, Rayner and Shylo :). We could have done without the rain downpour, but at least the walk part was over for them before that.

Now the coolest part ... last year if Clay and Rayner raised a certain amount of money, they would wear awesome pink and brown bikinis in the walk. Well, they more than surpassed their goal raising around $7,000.00!! Needless to say they wore the bikinis their Mom picked out for them!

This year, these 2 amazing boys and their parents cooked up the scheme to wear dresses if they reached a certain amount of money raised. AND their Dad would join them if they raised even more ..... well, they raised $12,481.00!!!!! Needless to say, their Dad joined them this year .... they all wore dresses for the walk! (I am posting their pictures with Mom's permission) :)

Don't they look awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of them! They won first place for amount of pledges in the group catagory :) Way To Go Guys!!!

I have to share a couple pictures of their youngest, who decided that playing with my son Keegan was fun :)



Then decided posing with her lollypop was also a cool idea :)
Isn't she the cutest!!!

Then there were these people there with the coolest birds. I only took pictures of 2 of them, but I had to share those too :)



In all, there was about $60,000.00 raised for this very worthwhile cause! Was a fantastic afternoon, even with the rain!

Holy Crow I am a Bad Bad Blogger

Wow, where does the time go????? I have been a very bad blogger!! I am going to do much better from now on lol. I'm not even going to try to catch up with what has been going on over the past way too long, but lets just start fresh :)

Plans are well underway, and donations being begged for, for our 5th annual Scrap N Camp taking place October 23-25, at the Rosthern Youth Farm Bible Camp. It is going to be a great camp again this year. We are raising money for the Children's Health and Hospital Foundation and collecting toys for the Denny Carr Secret Santa!! I'm looking forward to it very much, now to just get everything done we need to :).

Well, off to the Crohns and Colitis Walk. Friends of mine take part every year and their boys have been hard at work fundraising. A little birdie has already told me their final amount, but I will save that for later, along with pictures. A little teaser though, they are amazing kids!!!

Later :)
