Well it has been a long time since I last wrote on my blog. I have sorta forgot about it. I have been so busy this summer with friends, family and life in general. What a great summer it was. This summer was full of celebrations, adventures and great memories. Myself and my husband celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. We had King Crab, Prime rib steaks, salads and the most delicious carrot cake from the Chocolate claim. We had a celebration of our anniversary and Steve's 29th Birthday. We got to share our celebration with my family and great friend and mom. All in all it was a fantastic dinner and great night. I also celebrated my 26th Birthday this year on July 1st. It was a great Birthday. I was spoiled thats for sure. I got my new deck and patio set. I was so happy. Had many great evenings just sitting out there watching the sunsets, watching the kids play, having water fights, making yummy meals on our bbq and just flat out enjoying my back yard! We also celebrated the boys 1st and 4th birthday with a big Birthday bash up at the Canada Games Center. We had 12 kids...not including babies and lots of adults too. We were in the play room for a bit then we were in one of the meeting rooms where it was decked out in a Mickey Mouse Party Theme. Mikes eyes were as big as saucer and his mouth dropped to the floor he was soooooo excited with the room. We had a delicious cake, lots of food, drinks and just had a great time. Then at the end of July (on Steves Birthday) my family arrived for a week visit. There was my mom, dad and brother. We had an amazing time. Going to see places, have lots of yummy meals, going for drives around town and just having fun. We all went to Skagway one day and that was so much fun. My brother has never been more north then Powder King Ski Hill. So seeing the Yukon for him was amazing and the different landscapes totally amazed him. He loved it up here. I love where I live as I am never bored of it and never get that feeling like I need to pack up and leave and find a new place to live to have new adventures. The Yukon is so full of different things to see and things to do I am never bored. Love it!!! As for my family we have all been very busy. Mike has been busy playing with all his friends at his play group and keeping Liam entertained. Liam is a super busy little boy and full of attitude that little dude...my goodness! He is so much fun...at times! Hahaha! Mike and Liam keep each other very well entertained and love each other so much. It is so nice to see! As for myself...well I have been super busy with my friends, family and the general day to day life. I have decided that enough is enough with my weight and it is time for me to melt the fat off my ass...haha! I am tired of feeling not nice about my image and with I looked the same as I did when i first met Steve. I feel like I have lost confidence in myself and just need some motivation to get back on track. So I am going to look into going the gym at the games center and have the kids in child minding while i am working out. I need to!!! I just wish that Steve was around a lot more so I could join more things and be able to get out and do the things that I would really like to do. Join cooking classes...I miss my kayaking that I used to do all the time when I lived in Jasper, do some more scrapbooking, get back into playing the piano that I used to play for 10 years, join a Yoga class, work out class, go out on more dates with my husband. I miss all these things. I just wish that I had the time to do it all again. Raising a family is definitely hard and takes away from the things that you love to do. I really do feel that I should not have to worry about not being able to do the things I used to, but I do. I just wish I had more time in the day and more help with the kids so I could. I love my kids and my husband, but too would love to do what I would like as well....oh well maybe one day I will have a moment to! As for Steve, well he has been super busy with work...work and more work. He is the boss of two jobs up in Dawson City and really is not home all that much. I wish he was home more but has to work to right? He is gone for 2 weeks and back for a week. I hate him being gone for 2 weeks then back for a week. The kids and I get onto a routine and then he come home and then we have to get back onto a new routine...and just as he leaving we are back on track then have to get back to it being just me and the kids....hate hate hate it! He is such a hard worker and loves his job so much. We have a great time when he comes back. We go to the pool, fishing, shopping, going for our much loved drives in the country, and just spend time together. Next year we are going to be purchasing a truck and camper so we are able to spend more time together and start doing some more family adventures and start doing some camping. So I am looking forward to that. I just spent a weekend in Dawson with Steve for the Discovery Days long weekend and had a freakin fantastic time. Sooo much fun. The kids went to Faro for a few days and then off I went to Dawson with a Friend and her baby girl. It was so nice to have time with just her and I and had some great one on one girl time!! Goodness I got drunk one night there...it was so nice to not have to worry about dealing with the boys the next morn with a hang over. To my suprise I felt fantastic the next morn and was up at 8 am. Steve on the other hand had a great time watching me get drunk for the first time in 2 years...yes people I know 2 years...haha! Long time coming...and it felt great! After my wonderfull weekend with the hubby was over we said our goodbyes, off to Faro I went to meet up with the kids and Steve's Mom and Dad. Had a great week there...nice and relaxing and had a great time seeing friends that we do not get to see all that often. We did lots of play time at the park and down at the rec center doing play dates. Great times. So all in all this summer was a great time. Lots of fun and great memories were created for years to come. I can only hope that next summer is just as great. We will have camper and truck next year so am sure there will be lots more stories to tell. I hope everyone had a great summer. Fall is definitely here in the Yukon and my blog should be full of fall and winter stories too.
