Happy Mother's Day

I thought I would update a little bit about Toronto life as well since all I've posted is the life in Elliot Lake so far. We spend this year's Mother day at Shano's Apartment, since my mom is in Taiwan and Guy is in Toronto. We joined Shaun, William and Scott to celebrate this special day for their dear moms.

The food was so good that I was eating too much and can barely walk after. William's mom brought a little Yorkie - Amy. What a cute dog, as soon as she reaches the balcony, she was shaking non-stop. Guy picked her up and warmed her up with his jacket. I think she fell in love with Guy after he did that. What a cute puppy!

We decided to get the party started so Guy and Williman decided to play pool and helped burnt a little bit of food away. This is first time I saw Guy playing Pool, William's mom asked him "Hey Guy, do you play pool?" Guy said "I read the book once", everybody was laughing and thought he doesn't know how to play at all. When we started the game, Guy was kicking everybody's ass. Even I didn't know he is such a good player, way to go hun!

To Keep the competition going, we went upstairs and start playing Guitar Hero. Guy once again was topping the game with perfect socre until I kicked his ass! Muwahha....but I was on easy mode, he is on medium mode! I gotta admit that Guy is definitely a quick learner. He no longer shines when we started the Karaoke game and everybody was nagging him to sing! Oh what a great day, we had a lot of pictures and food! The desserts are so good, we had to have a take out at the end of night. Happy Mother's Day Ever mother out there. :)






Bike Trip



It has been a while since I last updated the blog. It has been quite hectic for the last few weeks trying to get things in place so we can work according to the plan. I came up and helped Guy get the stuff out of the way at the first weekend of May. I was amazed to see the progress on the basement with the door and also the carpet. Furby had a blast playing with Cash in the house (non stop chasing around....whew). During the weekend, we spent a day with the kids and we took a bike trip down on one of the trails near Mike's house. Oh what a day, I must say. This is my first time going on Guy's Rhino - his baby - and the road was so bumpy. Dominique's 4 wheeler was not working properly when we first started, so we had to bring the car home and have him sit at the back of the Rhino with us instead.


I sat at the back with the kid from time to time so they can enjoy the view from the front seat as well. As what Guy said, it's definitely priceless that we can "hold hands, drink coffee, enjoy the view, and listen to music, have 2 kids at the back while driving." He was definitely proud of the fact what Rhino can provide us. We had many stops at a lot of beautiful lakes, snacking away and enjoy some beers (I didn't drink, of course).

There are still snow on the ground, on the way home, we went back to the Pit that we've originally visited and Guy started driving on the pit - Okay, that is reallyl different from what "Scooter" can do. LOL I was bragging about me having experiences driving scooters in Taiwan so I wasn't afraid when Rhino was going too fast. We were up at the hill and drive down on an almost 90 degrees sand band, oh boy, was I scared! It's definitely a great experience.





















Dominique was trying to wrestle with Guy when we were taking a break, Maliika came in and save Dominique, later all three of them were on top of Guy! It's such a cute scene.

Dominique also tried driving the Rhino by himself at the end of the day, I drove half of the trip on the way back, Guy was a bit scared at first but later he was comfortable enough to sit beside me since he grabbed my camera and started snapping shots everywhere.
We ended the day having dinner at Mike's - Lori cook another delicious meal! Went home at around 11pm, kids were both tired. What a great day and a great experience! I can see why Guy is so proud of his Rhino, the ride was definitely a smooth one, but we managed so snap a two good shots of Mike and Luke on the way home! I think they will be happy to see when we bring the pictures to them.
