I had such a great weekend :)

I think my Uncle Brad’s face pretty much sums up eveyone’s feelings on our Elora Gorge get-together :)

EPIC HAPPINESS! 

We had a family picnic in honor of my cousin‘s b/f visiting from Holland :) They were just so happy together – I loved seeing them all in love :) and I am sure everyone else agrees, they are well matched :)

Logan kept everyone busy with his letter obsession and we all enjoyed the day :)

I made my grandmother’s famous peach pie for the first time ever! and even tackled my first pastry crust – a whole wheat version. It turned out amazing! The only bad thing about this pie was how good it tastes……

…..it became my breakfast this morning due to it’s irresistibility ;)

After the hangout I met up with Leah (only linking her so she might actually blog) and Dave for a fast, fun trail run :)

We also went on a super fun family bike ride this weekend :) 10k over the trails and Logan passed out in the trailer ;)   We left Rex at home this time to avoid injury.

I think one of my most favourite things in the world is FAMILY!!!! and friends and running are a close second.

Questions:

1. what are your 3 favourite things???

2. what is your favourite pie??? are you excited for peach season??

The mentioned Peach Pie is my most favourite pie ever and I LOVE peach season more than any other fruit or vegetable season! SO EXCITED for fuzzy yummies :)

3. Are you in love?? 

I sure am! Colin is my bestest friend. Yes, I know “bestest” isn’t a word but I like made up words so roll with it.

  1. This is so funny because I just got all of the stuff to make that peach pie! It is still my very favorite. :)
    That looks like such a fun family get together! I have a cousin who I am really close to but she lives all the way across the country from me. :( My grandma is my closest relative and she lives in Wisconsin.

    • YUMMY! I made a whole wheat pie crust and it turned out better than I expected. I had heard pastry was hard but this was pretty easy :)

      and I did know that about your gram :( too bad

    • Those are some good favs ;) and aren’t dogs considered family?? lol

      Lemon meringue is ok but to be honest I may be bias because I’ve NEVER had a homemade one, I tend to think homemade stuff tastes the best. Maybe I’ll try and tackle one :) thanks for inspiring

  2. I got to go home and visit my family over the weekend before starting school back up today :( I think family is truly the best thing! I love how close I am with my family and that they are all truly some of my best friends!

    • Ah Jentry that’s amazing!!! I am so excited you got some much needed family time, as I know you were missing them. I can’t believe school has already started back up. I thought it was next week!

    • :D lol I love smiling. I’m been living by this mantra as of late: SMILE, ACCEPT, LOVE :) and I’m loving it. I feel so happy. The only time I get angry is with Colin and/or Logan, which I think is normal in a wife/mother role ;) lol

  3. That peach pie sounds delicious! My mom’s peach cobbler is one of my favorite treats to have when I’m at home. Right now my three favorite things are: watching the dogs sleep, a quiet house, and the cool mornings we’ve had lately.

  4. That peach pie looks amazing. And peaches are perfectly acceptable as breakfast food aren’t they?

    I feel the same way about you re the petticoat issue – way too dating and that’s why I refuse to wear them. I figure my legs are good enough that I don’t have to wear them even if my skirt is a little see-through. If it was good enough for Princess Di it’s good enough for me.

Add some awesome...
