It has been such a BUSY week here in the Bing home for our first week of summer vacation, I guess one should take advantage of it when they can. Still no new on the job front, will I or won't I still be working at Roots... hopefully I will figure it all out this week, so I can relieve the stress that is my life!! I'm counting down to vacation even more because of the stress.

Here is the weekly breakdown... Monday, we took it easy and hung out around the apartment until the evening... we then headed over to my wonderful in-law's place for dinner and Mom Bing didn't disappoint... oh my goodness it was a wonderful BBQ'd meal. We had steaks and salads, there was with one veggie salad she made on the BBQ it had sweet potatoes, red peppers, feta and a bunch of other veggies... oh it was delicious! For dessert we had a cheesecake with fresh raspberries... oh my mouth is still watering! After that we hit the soccer fields to watch jess and sarah play soccer. It was so great to be on the field again, oh how I miss soccer so much... I play from age 6-22 and I hope to play again some day! The girls both did great we were very proud of them. After the game it was back to the Nelson home to celebrate Jeff's birthday... Kathy out did herself as always, we had birthday trifle and it was mouth watering!! It was a super fun night we always have a good time with the Nelson's!

Super team mate sisters, Sarah and Jessica

Cooper Charles aka Chubs!

Future soccer star in the making!

The boys went exploring and came back with a snowball in July!

Our soccer stars, Sarah (9) and Jessica (8)... Sarah is my soccer number I was so proud!

Our next adventure was on Wednesday, we took full advantage of a beautiful day and hit the lake with my brother-in-law Jaccob, his girlfriend Sarah joined us later on. Me and the boys hit the lake and had a BLAST! The guys both tried wake boarding and had some big wipe outs... we traded that in to water ski since it was a bit safer, we need a helmet for wake boarding. The convinced me to go tubing, I'm not a huge fan of lakes, I'm more of a pool kinda girl, I like knowing what's swimming around me. So Brandon and I first went together and then they convinced me to go alone, sitting on the tube, well lets just say, not a good idea... my butt hurt so much and I wiped out pretty good... I'm just glad I got in the water to keep brandon quiet. We had a blast and took some great pictures, some of which are posted below. After we headed back to the Bing's and had a BBQ and a bonfire in their new fire pit, I LOVE roasted marshmallows... it was a SUPER FUN day!

Heading out on the late in the boat with the wake board kicking my feet up!

For his first time wake boarding he did an awesome job, we like to snowboard so I think that helped him a lot!

Jay enjoying the water and waiting to go!

Friday after a fun filled day at work brought a DELICIOUS night out... my old Roots manager and friend Terri was in town so we had to have a girls get together. We met up at "It's all Greek to me" which is such a great little restaurant. My friend Maria knows the owners, and we have gotten to know them through Roots so it was nice to see Jimmy and he gave us all kisses on the cheek. We shared some yummy appetizers and had such a GREAT meal. It was a wonderful night of yummy food, and great conversation! Can't wait for the next night!

Such a great place, it's not too big, great atmosphere and yummy food!

Our waitress who was one of Maria's friend, lighting the cheese on fire, I think it was one of her first times and she did awesome!

We had to take two group shots since we took the pic outside the restaurant, from L-R Suzanne, Maria, Terri, Cooper, Kathy, Sarah and Me.

Finally Saturday came, and brought one last work day which was soooo slow, but we made the best of it. I had a visit from an old friend Ryan and his sweet wife Justine, they live in Ontario now, so it was great to catch up and chat with them. They shared some exciting news with me and I couldn't be happier for them!! It was a nice visit during a slow work day. I rushed home and then back out into the beautiful day to make it to Ethan's 3rd birthday party, it's hard to believe he is that old already. It was a nice party of family and friends. He got some cute gifts and had a super yummy delicious super store cake! It was great to hangout and visit with everyone. Brandon had to work and missed out on the fun times! :(

Ethan and his new baseball glove, he was pretty excited!

The nelson big kids... Jake, Jess and Sarah, such great big cousins.

Sonja and Karington... such a cute cheese face on this little girl.

Another Sunday has come and gone, and I survived nursery, 10 kids this week made it busy but we had some extra help, James was amazing with the kiddies today and he even climbed through the tunnel once. I've spent most of the day just relaxing and enjoying it! I hope this finds everyone else having a GREAT week! Can't wait to read about it so post soon!!
