First bike ride

Last night we took out our bikes and hit the road for the first time in over 2 years! The bikes needed a little TLC but it's true, you don't forget!! Joel had a nice time in his little Chariot - thanks Uncle Jim and Auntie Monica!

Joel enjoyed the storm too.

So this is summer.

Lately it has felt more like April than the end of June. These pictures are from yesterday. The black clouds rolled in from the west and the blue sky was to the east. Blue sky, lightning, thunder, very heavy rain and even a little hail. What a crazy day for weather.

Climb, Climb - Thanks Daddy!

Happy Birthday Isabella!

What a Croc!

Informative - for those of you who don't know.

"Don't kill me!" shouts the creepy little bug from the leave of my chives. "I am a baby ladybug. I like to eat lots and lots of bugs - more now than when I turn into a cute little ladybug. I know I look bad but I'm not!"

Okay, enough of the story telling. I hope you can see the picture. We have so many of these little guys around, I just thought I'd let you all know what they were. I am kind of fascinated with them.

Moving on

Well, I am moving on from my career as a top model. It was fun while it lasted. It was pretty cool. The guy that did our hair used to do the hair for that show City Line from Toronto and the girl that did our makeup does makeup for actors! We're practically famous! The clothes we modelled were from the store YZZA which I always thought was a little old for me but I will be showing off theirs fashions quite often once I pick up a few outfits tomorrow that I absolutely love! Anyway, back to reality, I should go spend some time with Brad since I have hardly seen him this week and now I have to work the next 3 days. Blah.

Weather

It is hard to believe that just a few days ago we were outside in our shorts and tanktops and playing in the pool. Today is dreary, cold and wet. I am wearing a fleece jacket and am still cold. Maybe that's why I have a headache. Blame it on the rain.... not Lorraine (inside joke - likely only Naegeli's will get it). Anyway, I have heard that the pressure changes in the air can cause headaches. I have a busy week this week. I just worked the past 3 days and tonight I have to rehearse for my role as a supermodel - yep, finally, Canada's Nex Top Model is making her debut at the annual Bethany ladies tea. I get to strut my stuff on Thurs and Fri nights and I just found out that almost 300 ladies will be there on Thursday and another 200 on Friday. I'm a little anxious about strutting in front of that many people!!! Oh well, I'll have fun, right?

Summer fun - in the carport.

I think it's kind of sad that this is all I have to offer the little guy, but he had fun anyway. At least he doesn't really know what he's missing and it's easy to keep him in the shade. We are dreaming of a greener future....
