....it has been a very long time since I posted anything on my blog. Life is so busy, and yet I know if I take the time to stop and record what we are doing it will be so worth it in the long run. My husband is a Physiotherapist....a really good one!  Of course I think that, but really, his dream for a very long time has been to start his own Physio clinic.  We took this jump and planned and brainstormed our name, logo etc.  This has been such a fun process, we still have much work to do and I am realizing a venture like this takes time to get going and off the ground.    BUT... On Sept. 1st  CORE MANUAL THERAPY opened it's doors to the public.  It was such a whirlwind of renovations, as we did many of them ourselves (and by ourselves I mean Brian and I and the help of his amazing family).  Looking back it is truly amazing what we accomplished in just a matter of weeks. Brian has been extremely busy and the business is on it's way up!!!...

where to start . . .  spending this time with my sisters was just the boost i needed as a busy mother it was the perfect get-a-way . . .and to spend time just the three of us, has not happened in a very long time, probably since we were living at home together   seattle is such a beautiful place, everything was so green and lush, with blossoms on the trees and flowers blooming everywhere . . . and to see the ocean - it was like paradise.   while a snow storm raged at home on the prairies, timing - perfect!   our time together consisted of eating out - panera bread was amazing!!   i am definitely in love with fondi   this is the beautiful ranch house that my sister calls home, where we stayed while visiting . . . it truly is a little piece of heaven, they have cows, goats, sheep, ducks, chickens and the most beautiful yard imaginable  this is one of the beautiful harbors just minutes from their door - breathtaking. loo...

this summer i discovered instagram . . . . . this discovery,  combined with a new baby and 5 other children to take care of is what i blame my lack of blogging on!! as i've looked back through these amazing pictures captured on my phone using this fun app . . . i just had to post them here again, for i am in love with so many of them!! oh how i love these days with my busy family, all the memories we've made. with that being said - i don't feel like i am doing anything particularly well but . . . the other day as i was dancing with my children in my kitchen and we were laughing and just enjoying being together a though hit me . . . . it doesn't matter all the things i am unable to start or finish or whatever. . . .what matters is the time i spend with each child. i truly cherish each one, they are so different and special. how could i have ever imagined 12 years ago this Sunday, when i gave birth to my first baby, a little boy, how this ...

Maddison and Ethan had a birthday!! Summer Birthdays are so fun!! They both invited a few friends and the day was hot and we swam and ran relays and had such a fun time!  We really do have a little piece of heaven here (even if my house is less than desirable ;).  There is always GOOD FUN to be had on the Farm!      Getting ready for some boys vs. girls action!!  We had to run into the garage so the candles would stay lit!  My camera died after this picture so we recorded Ethan live for his birthday moment!!!  These two love each other so much.  Cousins are the best!  The girls in the sunshine after swimming in the pool!  When Will is around there is always entertainment!  Nice form Will!!  10!  I tried to merge both their cakes!  It turned out better than I thought it would!! Love it when that happens.  Cute girls, in heaven with the horses behind them!  I can't b...
