Just keep GROWING!!

These little beauties are either Tulips or Daphodils (don't really know if I spelt that right) I can't remember which bulbs I planted :) Which ever they are they are growing in a pot- I didn't think they would have made it through the winter.
This is our "main" flower bed, and of course we will fix up the bricks etc... we haven't gotten to yard work yet, but I was so excited when these started growing, and look how big they are already!!! YIPEE!!!
This is an attempt to get a close up of my beautiful flowers :) Can you tell I'm very "proud" of my little beauties? I LOVE SPRING!!!!!!!!!

My "view" of the bump!!

Hehehe, this is a silly shot, but I just couldn't resist it, I'm 31weeks + some days here. I'm obviously sitting down here but the bump looks bigger when sitting :)
This is a shot of me standing, still a pretty good bump. Sometimes it looks more "triangular" and other times more "rounded" this is an inbetween shot. Once in a while (usually when laying on my back) baby moves to one side or another and my tummy goes lopsided! It's really entertaining for Orlund and I to watch baby move and adjust.

Kamloops Tile Works new floors






























So how do you like the pictures? One day Walter (my boss) mentioned to me "we are going to re-do the floors". I didn't really believe him because I hadn't heard anything from Angie (his wife) and I know nothing this big happens in the office without her okay. To my surprise the next day Angie, Walter and Peter were in the office discussing the best/cleanest way to rip up all the old flooring and how they wanted to lay the new stuff ~ which hadn't even been ordered or picked yet. Apparently we had a few weeks of less work for the installers to do, so this would be the perfect time! They were discussing the ripping up on Saturday. Sunday they actually did it, and by wednesday when I came to work they were already grouting three of the "squares" ~ as you can see the tiles are all layed in the same size squares. The granite that is between the tiles are layed permently, however the tiles are layed on a paper product so when they get discontinued we can take them up easier. (instead of before when our floors were layed to stay down, so we had discontinued tiles on the floor for 10years or so). These are the most popular styles and colours of tiles. The sizes are the most popular as well, most people are scared to go to a 12"x24" or 20"x20" for a "small" area, however each of the squares we layed are 5'6" square, which is fabulous to show poeple how smart it looks! If you need tiles come see us at Kamloops Tile Works!! Oh and we just changed our hours Monday-Friday 9am-5pm however we are open until 9pm on Wednesday!
