Are you there Bloggers? It's me, Amy...

Yesterday was pretty uneventful until Ty got home--we got ready, packed up and headed into town to grab our tickets before heading to Jazzfest at Confederation Park downtown. We found a parking spot quite a few blocks away on purpose so we could walk around together a bit, grab a quick bite and enjoy the energy of downtown a bit before heading to the show (we love downtown on summer nights). We got to cross another thing off Ty's bucket list last night by seeing the Doobie Brothers in concert. They're getting older, so we knew if we missed the chance to see them then, we probably wouldn't get another chance, so we sucked up the 9pm start time and just did it. When we got there, we realised everyone was sitting in lawn chairs, and Ty had decided we didn't need to bring ours, so we found a vendor that was renting them out! lol The show was fantastic! There was quite a few songs we had both never heard of from some of their newer albums, but ALL of the songs were gre...

Life is moving too fast. Garett may be 5 months old, but I am having trouble "living for today". In my head, I picture him all grown up. He doesn't feel like a baby so much as a toddler to me now and I already feel the itch for another some days, which is not good lol (for now at least).  Garett starts sleeping in his crib tonight :( I don't know where I heard that babies should be in their bassinet until 6 months, but I choose to go with that because I love having him right beside my bed, but apparently babies should only be in their bassinet for 3-4 months max, until they sleep through the night, are 10-15 lbs, or can roll over on their own. Now that G is starting to sit up, it just feels unsafe, plus, from the queues I read about, he has been crib ready for a while now :( SO happy I got a comfy chair that reclines in there because I feel I may be sleeping in it for a few nights while "I" transition hahah. Is it bad that this is harder on me than the baby?...

This post is brought to you from the comfort of a hot bubble bath :) also, welcome to the most random post. Ty got home a bit early today, so I went to the grocery store to pick up some necessities for the weekend.  We decided to order food for supper:bad idea. I could probably barf up an entire months worth of food (tmi, I know, but it's crazy how sick I feel).  So, Ty is cuddling with the little guy and I thought I would sneak away to relax a bit so I don't have to use any receiving blankets to clean up my mess lol. We are supposed to be going to see the Doobie Brothers at Jazzfest tomorrow night but we didn't realize the show only started at 9, so the likelihood of going has dwindled a lot lol. Stay tuned to see if we suck it up. I am starting a purge of the house in my head. I want to get rid of a lot to make room for new stuff. I wish I was more sentimental about things;it would be a lot cheaper! Garett is starting to sit up on his own now and he made a few strides in ...

What a weekend ! I spent the good portion of the day on Friday cleaning and putting away laundry. Ty got home really early that day so he trimmed all the trees and all the garden around the house and mowed the lawn and resealed our back patio. I have to get out at some point today just to clean all the furniture off before we put the furniture back on the deck--not a problem since the little man not only loves when I lather him up with sunscreen, but he LOVES sitting in his seat outside. He loves looking around :) We were in bed at a pretty decent hour on Friday night as we had to be up early (as usual) on Saturday. My parents came up to watch the boy while Ty and I and our friends Jeff and Leah headed to the Metcalfe Golf Club for 18 holes of golf. What a fun day! We laughed so much and had a great time. We played girls vs boys and one Marshall driving around kept asking who won (Tyler won the game but I think they cheated--girls should have won--they played from the brush a few ...

I can feel  summer on days like this. It is SO nice out and it makes me excited for all things coming up. Stay tuned for those recaps:) Yesterday I got a short notice visit from my folks while Ty was out at work, which was nice:) After they left for some shopping in ottawa, Ty got home and I headed in to do groceries. When I got home, their car was here again, so we had another nice little visit :) it was bed time almost immediately after they left since Garett just needed a bottle and was out for the night!  We had been playing (Gman and I) since about 9, so he just passed out for a nap and thought I may take advantage of this time to blog! :)  I cannot believe it's only Weds though! The weeks where you're looking forward to the weekend always seem SO slow!!  Some things I am looking forward to:  - date nights - Bbqs - dolls wedding - cousins night - Canada day festivities  - family time - bday parties - jersey shore night pt 2 - our anniversary  - et...

To my beloved, precious little man, As you approach your fifth month of life on the outside with us, I am amazed at how much you have grown, learned and embraced. I can tell you will be a beam of sunshine in everyone's life who is blessed enough to meet you. I cannot believe we are lucky enough to call you our own. Your daddy and I love you very much. Things you love: -Laughing out loud at things you think are silly (buzzing noises, squeaky noises, zerberts, fake coughs, when we call you silly, or when we tell you from across the room that we can see you). - scooting around on your tummy. You almost have the concept of crawling! - Bottles, even though you are a slow eater, your face lights up when you hear me mixing one up. - You love watching me type on the keyboard (you're staring very intensely at my fingers right now) - You love anything that plays music - You love when mommy reads you stories - You love to be rocked and walked around/held - You love exc...

This was a pretty crazy weekend for us, so I'm not surprised it flew right by! Friday after Ty got home from work, we just relaxed watching some tv with some good eats and headed to bed at a pretty decent hour since he had to get up early on Saturday and do some work on some job sites before coming home. My folks came and picked up Garett for the night, so we decided after they left to head into town to grab lunch. We decided to hit up a newer place in Orleans called Mucho Burrito. O-M-GOD. This place is amazing. It's the mexican version of subway--so you order your food (Ty started with some shredded beef tacos and went back up for a HUGE burrito after, and I got a salad bowl with chicken which was ahhhh-mazzzinngg . Seriously people, go eat here. The ingredients are so fresh. Mind: blown After we ate our lunch, we decided to go hit a bucket of balls at the driving range. We were pretty sore after hitting all those balls so we headed home to a quick nap (heaven) before ...
