What a cutie!

Marlys and Evan are here in Edmonton right now visiting and he was just so "talkative" today that I had to get a couple of videos of him. He's pretty adorable.

I'm dreaming of those wide open Wyoming prairies!

So I had today off of school which was really nice because I really didn't feel great today. My mom and I ran to town and I dropped off a few resumes then came home to try to feel better and ended up watching Flicka. If I ever move to the United States I'm definitely heading to Wyoming. I think I drooled a little looking at the country side. I ended up googling Wyoming to look at some of the scenery and found these pictures. Can you imagine a little acerage right alongside those mountains?? Beautiful!!

Some Quotes

I was working on my Multimedia story for photojournalism class and wanted to find a good quote to put at the end of it, and ended up finding a few that I thought were pretty good!! Here they are

Laughter is an instant vacation. - Milton Berle

Always Laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine. - Lord Byron

If you would like to spoil the day of a grouch, give him a smile. - Author Unknown

Beauty isn't worth thinking about; what's important is your mind. You don't want a 50 dollar haircut on a 50 cent head. - Garrison Keillor

I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.
- Author Unknown

The first law of dietics seems to be: if it tastes good, it's bad for you - Issac Asimov.

This last one is the one I choose for my multimedia presentation (Which is about hospital clowns)

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

Faves from the Weekend

As most of you know, I went down to see Evan this weekend and boy is he just the little sweetheart!! He's such a quiet baby and only complains when he really needs something. He also already started to lift his head and he's only a week old! I also saw a couple of smiles from him and he's just too awesome for words! I of course had to get a few pictures of the little guy, so here are a few of my favorites! Praying like a good christian boy :)

Medicine Hat Family time!

I left Edmonton this morning at around 9 and got to medicine hat today at around 3:15 and it was a really good drive! Come strathmore I didn't want to spend another 2 hours in the vehicle after driving for four straight hours. But once I got here it was awesome! I saw Evan and he is so Teeny! But super adorable. He was awake when I showed up so I got to spend about half an hour with him before he had to eat again and he fell right asleep right after and just woke up about twenty minutes ago. I had to tickle his ribs to wake him up so he could eat again. He just slept in my arms for about 4 hours and we watched over the hedge. It was so nice! I'm definitely looking forward to the next two days, and next weekend to spend with him and the rest of the fam!

Evan Pictures!

Here are the first few pictures of Evan! I am unfortunately not there so mom and dad just sent me an email! Here's the little guy! My mom is so excited about being a grandma!

And kyle is very excited about being a first time uncle!

Evan and his cute little going home outfit.

Terry holding Evan. I don't know how he could be comfortable like that...
And the New Happy Family of Three!

It's a Boy!!!!

Marlys had her baby!!! She went into the hospital at 4:30 this morning and was sent home to have a warm bath to speed things up. So she did but they came back two hours earlier than they were supposed to. With only about an hour and a half of pushing, Evan Wade Bouthillier was born!!! He's a healthy 6 pounds 6 oz and is very alert and rambunctious! He hasn't slept since he was born which was 3 hours ago now and I guess he's just looking all over and moving. He's just awesome!! In the words of his father "He's pretty perfect!" I'm going down friday morning to meet the little guy and spend as much time with him as I can before the rush of the baby shower the weekend after! I don't think I've loved anyone as much as this little boy right now!! I'll post pictures when I get them :)
