Land of the Cold?

So after our fun wonderful excited and HOT vacation to the valley, we were really for a cool breeze from our Antigonish weather system. This is the first time I have been looking forward to the Antigonish cool temps and windy ways. And of course, we come back and its WAY TOO HOT. We got out of the AC car and it was sooooo warm. So we grabbed the first armload of things to go into the apt, and then realized the apt was REALLY WARM. 90 degrees warm. agggh. But thankfully dad had put the spare AC in our car for us to install.. which we did as soon as possible! It cooled off in the middle of the night thankfully, and we got an excellent sleep. The piggies have new found energy! Today is going to be a scorcher, so this'll be the test!

Counting down to the big day :)

So I found a cute little ticker that will count the days for us!

Patriotic Piglets

and now back to sleeping on the icepacks to stay cool.... check out our cool ladybug one from Grammie!

Happy Canada day... Mario?

Why is Scotty Playing with a pink little gameboy looking thing?



OH yes, because I let him borrow it haha :)


Thats right! Mario will be joining us for Canada Day, that is Mario and A NEW NINTENDO DS LITE! Scotty aka mister awesome himself went out to do groceries :) and brought me back a really cool treat! We only have one game, but its really all we need for the next long while. Its the Mario Brothers game for DS, sooo coool. I can't write too much more, I've only played ONE level, and Scotty (as you saw in the picture) is beating the rest of all the levels without me! If you have one, or knwo someone who does, maybe leave us some suggestions for games to save for?

Oh Maggie, How I love thee!

Searching around online for dresses is my newest evening activity, as I'm starting to feel the stress of picking and SETTLING on some ideas for the wedding. I think proper planning in advance is going to help us have a clear idea for budget and make things easier to handle as the big day draws nearer. I am realistically considering all options at this point with a level head and weighing the pros/cons carefully. So I have begun tucking away money in case my dream dress pops up at an unexpected price. In my adventuring, I stumbled across this LOVELY site of Maggie Sottero Dresses. All I can say is wow. To save you the trouble of searching around, I'll post my absolute favs! Be sure to check out the website tho, they are breathtaking!

This one is called Brielle! (I love that they have real names, makes it easier to remember my favs.) She's new so there isn't any real life photos of her yet.

This is Brielle from the back!


This is Victoriana. wowsers I know!


This is Victoriana in REAL life, a lovely feature of their website.

This is Capri Royale! She is stunning...




.. But look at her in real life! wow


I don't think I've ever come across dresses that look BETTER in real life than on the models. It is a promising feeling for certain! I have contacted stores in Truro and Hfx about the styles/dseigner, it has left me feeling excited and encouraged.

Save The Date!

Oh Its a wedding bonanza! I have been hit with wedding planning fever, as I have only 387 days until the wedding. Haha you may wonder how I know that, and let me tell you, I have hit gold. Mom sent me a link to a blog that led to the bloggers "wedding website" created by theknot.com. The Knot offers a service that allows you to do pretty much ALL of your planning online. How incredible is that? So I spent last night creating this website :)

Zoom and Tubes!

So our little ones have stopped being shy/nervous and entered a new stage in their life : Active and curious!! In hopes to satisfy their thirst for adventure we've added the second level of their cage and ramp! Now that both of them are zooming up and down the ramp with expertise (see video!) we added a new challenge for them, tubes! I got the idea first of all off of a lovely webpage called www.guineapigcages.com that discusses everything under the sun about the guinea pig lifestyle! Then when we were searching for a ramp at Central Building Supplies, we spotted these tubes! Tonight we went back to get them, and as you can see in the pics, the piggies dooo love them :) (excuse the poop!)

The videos are a little dark! I'll know for next time to turn on more lights! Sorry!

zoom zoooom! Starbuck learns to handle the ramp!


we love our new play toys they smell so interesting!
