Episode: The Birthday that Never Was!

Happy B-day to one wicked cool brother in law Cameron... If anyone ever does deserve a fun birthday party it's you Cam - somehow, someway, we will have cake this weekend coming up if it kills us all!

Thanks for always drinking beer with Dave and for teaching me (Kim) a little about laid back-ness. I think someday it might just eventually wear off a bit on me... I hope it does!

The kids thank you for ALWAYS swinging them around, whenever they ask you, and for (accidentally - wink wink) giving them both their first taste of beer!!!

Episode: Hitched - Ernie and Kev Tie the Knot

What was your favourite part of Erin and Kevin's wedding?

Dave sez: The conga line. Dave feels that he was instrumental in the success of this particular dance number. Dave was feelin' very hot hot hot. Dave was also a HUGE fan of Uncle Pete and if that guy goes on the road with his routine, Dave will likely be the first one in line to buy tickets.

Kim sez: I really enjoyed the video montage with Ern and Kev's baby pics. But the dancing all night long just couldn't be beat. Who has a wedding with pina coladas anyway? That rocked the house!

Gabby sez: Going up and down in the elevator, playing in the kids room and dancing with everybody.

Rui sez: Watching movies with the ladies upstairs and all the other kids. Chicken fingers for dinner (he actually ate them all!) and running up and down the aisle after the ceremony with Gab, Allie and Mary.

Episode: Graduation Day Celebration

Thursday June 14th was Megan's Convocation Day at Conestoga College. She Graduated with Distinction from the Advertising Program. Dressed in the traditional Graduation gown and Lirapipe Megan received her diploma (suitable for framing). After the cermony Dad Mom & Uni attended a reception at the college. After some photo ops we drove to Vidalias in St. Jacobs for some celebratory inbibations. Next we went to Benjamins Inn where Megan was shocked to see her sisters, brothers in law, nieces and nephew were gathered to surprise her. Megan received some bling and scrappin' accessories to honour her accomplishments. After a delicious feast we retired to the nearby ice cream caboose for some dessert. It was a great day for the PMSers !

Episode: Doggy Day and Birthday

We got an early start on Sunday June 10th to go to Woofstock in Toronto, St. Lawrence Market area. Our trip was smooth and along the way Gram noticed all the cool improvements on the Toronto Waterfront. We parked and walked into the Festival. Bogey visited his peeps, Sandy at CYTR and Brenda his former foster mom at Tiny Paws Rescue where we met Brigitte a doggie that just got rescued after a terrible accident in which she lost a leg but now has a great new forever home in Toronto. We had our breakie, coffee and muffin at a sidewalk table and enjoyed watching all the dogs and owners walking by. There were tons on exhibitors and displays which we saw and Bogey and Dona got personalized bandanas. All the girls got croc charms of their dogs. We came home and celebrated Laura's birthday with the whole family and ended off with an evening walk to the park. Laura got lots of cool presents and a cake was enjoyed by all. The boys enjoyed the new pepper relish Kathy found at Zehrs. Gram left this morning to go back to Stroud to get ready for our visit and the wedding at Canada Day ! What a great weekend.

EPISODE: WHS BUS TOUR

Saturday June 9th was a beautiful day for the annual Bus trip with the Hort Society. We met bright and early with our TH's in hand and headed out over hill and dale to visit five rural gardens of Bruce County with a stop for a delicious lunch in Hanover. We perused all the beautiful plants on display in the gardens as well as those for sale in the garden centres. We purchased a few new additions to our gardens which you will all get the chance to admire in the near future. Also on the tour was my coworker Mary and her mom who we got a chance to know and enjoyed their company. We got home at 7 and had some dinner and an early night. We had to get rested up for the next day !

Episode: Getting Older and Wiser!

Rui is turning 4 tomorrow. Insane. Incredible. A sad day in the Silva house. That's my baby you know! Four years goes by in an instant. Rui - I love that every morning when we are leaving the house you say to Gabby and I "After you ladies..." and you hold the front door open for us. I hope you never stop doing that even when you are 12 and a brat and only thinking about skateboarding and hockey and math homework! It's too precious. Happy Birthday My Man!


Also - you should know that today I received my marks for my final course in the Chartered Insurance Professional designation program and you can just refer to me as Kim Silva, RIBO, CIP. No seriously - I mean it. I want you to say "Excuse me KIM CIP can you pass the salt?" or "May I speak with Kim CIP please?" Try and remember this in all your future correspondence as well. Make sure all birthday/shower/wedding invitations contain my current very important insurance status - or I may just not reply.

Ok - just kidding. It's not THAT big of a deal. (But let's party about it anyway! Take-Out from Sakura Island Sushi on King St would not be unreasonable - vegetarian of course!)

Episode: Thank you, thank you very much

Thanks to all for a great Mothers Day weekend. I am such a lucky mom to have such a wonderful family. I had a great weekend which included a dance recital, shopping, a breakfast treat, and a shower of gifts which are all really special.

Congrats Meme on graduatin'. We are very proud of your accomplishments and stellar grades! WOW! Congrats to Dad and his new job starting next week. We hope you will be very happy in your new company. I am sure you will be great!

Erin and Kev's stag and doe was a super party. I don't think I have seen so many people in one room in a long time. Gram danced her night away with Robo and Adam from what I saw! Ronny was cutting rugs too while Erin, Wendy and all the bridesmaids did an awesome job running the fun and games! I am glad we were able to make it, even those we got lost on the way back to K-town.


Mom's Day is this weekend and we are anxiously awaiting the fun and excitement that this day will bring. I know I am planning on receiving breakfast in bed, many gifts and the servitude of all the Silvas. I would like to spend the day reading romance novels or scrapbooking (hint hint) until such time as it is time to get together with my own Mom, Laura and Meg while all the boys (Uni too) completely make and serve up drinks and dinner. A girl can dream...
