Merry Christmas!

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with family and friends!

Love, the Wearmouths

Wow, summer's long gone and so is Fall; yikes!

It's been way to long, I admit. But being healthy I don't have much time on my hands to just sit and write. Good thing and bad thing I suppose, but eventually I always come back and update, so don't hate! :)
We finished off summer with a bang; we were at the lake, both kids were skiing, had a great Sept. long weekend and an even better Sept. 11th weekend! Scott did the Innisfail Triathlon with some buddies and finished strong! Katie and I had a big party at our cabin to celebrate the feat and man, was it fun!
I've never been so proud of Scott, he worked so hard to get into shape and it showed...way to go ol' man! Now to get my butt in as good as shape to beat off all the young ladies who have suddenly taken a liking to the ol' man! Lol!
Jorja started Grade 1, can you believe it?! My gosh, it's just nuts. She is also enjoying tap/jazz and that's it for now. She always is in so much, that's plenty until ski season. I'm secretly so excited, she wants to play ball so bad, just like mom! Yay!!!!!! :)
Rowen is CRAZY. Seriously, I don't know what else to say...CRAZY! But still so lovable and mushy. I totally see how the mother/son bond is sooooo special. I will always be a little more of a softie when it comes to his love life me thinks! ;) He still isn't talking but we're REALLY hoping soon....yikes! He is starting at Jorja's old dayhome in the new year and Scott and I are so excited for him to get the same opportunity at Nanny and Beas! We do love them so.
I have been doing so much since the new year began. I go out lots more, working out, been back to Saskie a million times, went to Banff with Katie for our mommy-24 hour- vacay last weekend and am heading to Phoenix for my annual trip with my buddy Karen on Thursday...so looking forward to that. Don't feel to bad for Scott though, he's had only one of three hunting trips so far this fall and trust me, he doesn't ever go for just 24-hours. Lol!
Jorja and I got to have a 24-hour girls weekend of our own when we flew to Saskatoon for my step-sister's wedding. We got to go on an airplane, see her old bff Zoe AND get dressed up and go to a wedding with G&G and WITH Ashy! Needless to say, we loved it!
We are heading to Elkwater for a few nights between Christmas and New Years this year with the Gallaughers so that should be awesome.
I have already volunteered a few times at JJ's school and she still is coming home complaining that she hasn't learned to read yet. Poor kid! lol!

At our friend's annual Halloween party. Jorja with her too big wig and me with my too small Fiona (Shrek) costume. ;)

Jorja and friends today at her school party!

Grade 1 good times!

The ol' man looking good in his Triathlon!

Go daddy!!

I feel so fortunate to be healthy, travelling and being able to go out and do so much. Don't think that it's escaped me that I am supposed to be sick. It comes back often but with Scott's support, good sleep, working out and mini breaks by myself, I am really enjoying life these days. Hope you are too!

Thanksgiving in Swiftie; good times!

Jorja and Grampa Hart at Deid's wedding in Saskatoon.

PS:

Special thank you to stellar niece and photographer extraordinaire, Holly Belbin, for the pix below! ;)

Quick update for a crazy weekend!

So Scott has been training for a triathlon in Sept. and entered one for yesterday in the city to try it. He then entered Jorja in the Kids of Steel one on Saturday! They both did awesome and I just wanted to put up some pictures of Scott's race. Jorja's to come!
Just an fyi: Scott was first overall in the tri-it triathlon! Not bad for a first time...lol!

 Before the race with nephew Wadeums!! Goofs.

Scott getting out of the lake, he said the swim nearly killed him! Open water for 300 m??
Not sure if I could do it; a pool you can rest on the edge. Lol!

 Heading into Transition 1. Chin up Mr. you're doing great!

 Off the 10k bike ride and onto the 2k run!

Scott sprinting out of transition 2!

 The two big finishers who were 1st and 9th overall!

Way to go boys, so awesome for a couple of first timers!

What a proud family we are. Way to go daddy!!

My baby boy and "his" skis! He calls them his and always wants to go first...

Good time photos

 Gramma Sherry made this Olivia cake just for Jorja...man, do we love Gramma...so awesome!

Another birthday party...she only had three. What?!?!

Jorja and the best Kindergarten teacher in the world, Madame Frohlick.

Big day for my big girl!

 Gramma painting all the kids' toes! Even Rowen's of course!

 Good times at the Swiftie parade! Two suckers at a time...keep 'em coming momma!

Swwwweeettt! Fire truck!

 Having a good time at the Wall farm handing out smooches to the new baby sheep!

Everybody gets a turn with the babe!

 Taking Miss Piggy, the "pet" sheep, for a walk! Jorja loved her...too funny!

Sheep AND a tractor. Pretty sure Rowen will be moving here in about 10 years to farm with the Walls.

 Loving farm life!

Jorja and Brielle set up an iced tea stand and made over $25!! Thanks to the Gallaughers, Wearmouth and Wall families :)

 Tube time!

Me and my fave little man!

Yahoooo!

 Just like his big sis, Rowen loves rides!

 good times!

The whole fam at Super Dogs!

 Pine Lake good times!

Rowen's way to ski! He loves it! Go Rowen!!

The daddies were sooo proud of their girls for waterskiing on the long weekend at our cabin! More ice cream...lol!

The crazy train never ends...

Jorja on "Cruze". He was such a lovely horse and I got to lead them on a 45 min. hike!

 Yay momma!!

 No big deal, my 5 year old rang the bell at the top of the climbing wall...!

Jorja playing floor hockey at school against the Hitmen!

Life is never dull around the Wearmouth house, that's for sure. I'd like to say up front that I am sorry for ignoring my blog. Now I've said it and most of you have probably stopped reading it anyway...alas, I have no more words of excuses or reasons. I have simply been to busy and/or to tired.

Now, here's what we've been up to. I really should do a list of what we HAVEN'T been up to as it would be shorter but oh well.
Jorja and I went on a Sparks mother/daughter camping trip with her troop! I got zero sleep but it was great for her and I to go! She LOVED it! She got to do a climbing wall, horseback riding, archery, etc. So fun!
Jorja finished off her ski season at the Wearmouth cup which is always good times for all of us.
Soccer was a huge hit for Jorja this year; by the second game she started to actually get into the game and go after the ball. She then scored her first goal, received a DQ Blizzard from dad and continued the season with three or four goals per game! That kid really got a taste for DQ...:)
She then graduated Kindergarten. I know, I know, it seems ridiculous but when they played the Grad march and she followed Mme. in, I bawled like a baby...alas, my baby girl has grown so much!
In between all of Jorja's activities the rest of us have done only a few things comparatively. I received tickets to see one of my favorite bands, The Black Keys, for Mother's Day so Scott and I enjoyed a night out. We all headed back to Saskie for Canada Day. It's our 6th annual Wall Canada Day party and we enjoyed it again...we also squeezed in G&G visits and the Parade in Swift with the Longmores! Rowen LOVED that they threw candy right to him...LOVED it. :)
Jorja passed her Swimmer 1 lessons at the outdoor pool in the neighbourhood. I was so proud!
For the first time ever, we took the kids to the Stampede! Thank goodness we met our friends the Schwartzes there...it was CRAZY. The kids loved all the rides and we enjoyed the day. So fun but holy exhausting!
As a last minute change of plans, Jorja and I headed back to Saskie for 3 nights so she could enjoy Lac Pelltier's Camp Elim with her little friends while I played with all their moms, my little friends! It was AWESOME and we got to hang out with G&G a little more and I got to hang out with almost everyone! So great....it may become an annual girls trip! :)
We were home for two days and then headed to the cabin for our holidays. We had so much company and then had a huge friend shaker all August long weekend again. Good times!
I'm back into ball, golf and trying to get back into the gym. Scott is training for two triathlons and has entered Jorja in the Kids of Steel triathlon! Go Jorja! I am taking Rowen and Jorja to the Wiggles on Saturday too...then Scott does his triathlon on Sunday a.m.
I'm sure you can see why I'm tired. Can you say, "overbooked"??!!
Anyway, my health is fine so I guess that's why I just go, go, go!
That's it for now, I"m tired. Pix to follow and enjoy your summer, we are!! xo
