Canada Day Long Weekend

Happy Independence Day to all you Americans!! In Canada we celebrate Canada's birthday, July 1st! I love long weekends, Thursday evening I played beach volleyball with Linds & Kyle! It was so much fun! Then hubby and I just hung out. Friday I baked the remaining 3 dozen cupcakes for the July 2nd wedding and iced all 6 dozen. I went for brunch with Carly & Kelly, hung out with hubby and did some errands, saw Jenna & Lance's new house, and had my mom over for a movie night. Saturday was filled with wedding stuff, but first I enjoyed breaky on the deck. We don't have AC and it's been SO hot and beautiful lately. Thank goodness for the broil king we got for our wedding last summer. It has a side grill so I cooked up some eggs and sat outside enjoying the beautiful day before I rushed around getting prepared and decorated for the ceremony.



Poached eggs on flat bread with pesto and sun dried tomatoes! YUM GREAT combo btw.




After the ceremony it was my job to flip the church into the hall...voila:

In there I did manage to bake a cake for Father's Day dinner!

Update

I AM alive!!!!!!!!! It's been so long. Between the day job and the side job and everything else in between I've had no time for blogging! But I have so much to blog about. Where to begin?

I guess I will pick up where I left off. Hubby took the motorcycle course and guess what happened only 3 days later? He had his learner's license and a BIKE!



He goes for his drivers test on Friday and if he passes the little seat on the back is for yours truly!

We have been CRAZY busy with wedding season full under way. June 4th was our first day of coordination and it couldn't have gone better! We know we did a good job by the card and TIP we got the day after! Woo WOO! For pictures visit our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BluePlanning


Hubby built our patio in the back yard! More lounge space... now to find the time to lounge back there...

We visited our friends The Strueby's who brought this little monkey home a few weeks ago!


Brooklyn! She's so precious! Born at only 29 weeks, she was only 2.5 lbs! But she's now three months old  and 7 lbs! A healthy little baby, so so cute!

I have been SO busy preparing for July weddings and our contest winners stylized engagement session there hasn't been too much time for anything else. I made 350 cupcakes over the weekend and I have another 125 cupcake order to do! I tried to make icing for 500 cupcakes last night but I ran out of icing sugar! I did manage to get lots iced though - 20 for the photo shoot and another 40 of the cupcake order. Only 310 more to go...

I also made 9 candy apples for the photo shoot last night, 5 are caramel and the other 4 are what I like to call "Cookie Monster Candy Apples"



Don't they remind you of THE cookie monster?

That's all today folks! Happy HUMP day!

Unofficial kick off to summer

May Long Weekend the unofficial Kick off to Summer... it's always raining (or snowing) on May Long weekend. This year was no exception. It rained and rained. But it wasn't the worst weather we've ever had so I wasn't complaining!

Friday night we went to Creek Bistro for this gal's 25th!


Followed by cake and a glass of vino with our friend the Doctor!

Saturday morning we packed up and headed out to the lake. Hub had to load a hot tub up at his parents first and I dropped this crazy off at my mom's for a sleep over at Grandma's and play date with Minnie.
Look at him getting along with another dog besides Bobo. This is UNHEARD of. But it happened.

We then went to the Boon's campsite at Echo to pick them up to come out to our cottages. The boys did some heavy lifting replacing the cracked hot tub with the new one at the in law's cabin, we hung out with the fam, talked, laughed and had some din din. Then we went back to my family's cottage and played bolder dash with the Boon's! So much fun!

Sunday we relaxed at the lake, the sun came out and we did some more heavy lifting. The in laws are making the sand pit area bigger!


Monday Hubby and I did a lot from gardening, laundry, cleaning to some more antiquing... we found an antique shop that is closing down and we've been getting the best deals there. 80% off everything = cheap stuff. It's been great for the business as well, finding lots of great vintage finds for our styled engagement shoot we are planning next month. Here are some of our finds:


Boot shot glasses and mug! Hello, who wouldn't love these? They go perfectly with our western and "Pistols" bar theme!




We plan to use these Crush bottles in the engagement shoot with little signs like "I have a" and "My" in front of the bottle! Get it!?


This frame was $2... that's right, two whole dollars!

Then we went to see this flick:
Bridesmaids Movie Poster

I LOVED IT! It's definitely going to be a buyer!! I died! My fav's were:

But really they were all great!
Tonight my business partner in crime Cass and I are going back to the antique shop to scout more finds and then I have a hair appointment (getting a glossy treatment - it's like a deep conditioning gloss to keep my hair really moisturized, my hair is always SO dry!) and then just pack and get ready to leave bright and early for Stoon in the am. I am off for broker meetings (Wednesday and Friday) and a golf tournament (Thursday).   Then home later Friday afternoon and no real plans for Friday night yet that I know of.  Hubby is in this motorcycle course all weekend (Friday 5-9 and Saturday/Sunday 9-5pm.) It's a course to learn how to ride all types of motor bikes. Then he's gonna take his learners (GREAT!) hahaha I just don't think a man with a dangerous job needs a dangerous hobby. But I'm not going to stop him from something he is really adamant and passionate about doing! Hopefully he'll look like this...



And we'll look like this...

We love love love Sons of Anarchy!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH it's SO good!
