Paris had her picture taken with Santa. Jewel and Dighty already have one, so we thought Paris should get hers done too. She asked Santa for some new toys and some biscuits!! Isn't she beautiful???!!

This is the third ultrasound we had done...kinda creepy as it looks like a skeleton! LOL But everything looks great and the baby is growing and developing nicely!

It was my wonderful friend Jenny's surprise 40th Birthday Party. From left is Kelly (Jenny's sister in law), Jenny, Me (Valle) and Jenny's Mom Marilyn above.
HAPPY 40TH JENNY!
LOVE YA!

FABULOUS AND 40!!!
Jenny and I both turning 40 a month apart!

Me and John stopping for a picture.

Riot my #1 Gold Cap boy.....isn't he beautiful?

Three baby sun conures that I have hand fed. They are now weaned and are looking for loving homes. They are super sweet and do not bite...they love people and love to snuggle. I just love them...there is a male on the left and two females.

Here I am with my little pumpkin on Halloween! It is never too early to dress up our wee babe! Note all the food in the background...that is all I want to do these days is eat!!! ha ha ha

This is the newest addition to the feathered family...a white bellied caique!

My sweety Tim Bit.

John and I are excited to post that we are expecting a baby April 2009. After many many years of trying, spermwashes and Invitro.....as soon as we stopped trying VOILA! Here he or she is at 12 weeks inutero. Everything looks great so far...funny I had an ultrasound only 4 weeks ago and it looked like a Lima Bean with a heartbeat and now in that short time there are arms, legs, fingers, toes, a spine, a face....we saw the stomach and we saw him/her take a breath! It was amazing to see! No wonder I have been so tired and sick. There has been a lot of growing and developing going on in there! We can't wait to meet you in 6 months little angel! xox

Tiny Tim bit is a little Painted Conure that has had some seizures in his short little life. We love him and hope he will become big and healthy!!!

All the birds that I raise are socialized with many kids that I have at the Daycare. Kids are like bird magnets here!!! ha ha ha

Paris went for a canoe ride with us. We didn't know how she would be so we put a kiddie life jacket on her. LOL She was a really good girl and she had a blast!!!

Paris turned a year old on July 1st, Canada Day! She sure is growing into a beautiful girl!!

Two baby Gold Cap males...I am so happy to finally raise some Gold Caps. These little guys will be used for future breeding.

I am harness training Greycie. I love being able to take her outside with me. She really doesn't like the harness but will tolerate it because she likes being outside.

Here are some of the wonderful kids I look after at my Daycare

Here we are outside our house ready to go to Paris!!! I could only post a few of our pictures from the trip on the blog. I hope you enjoy them! We had an awesome trip and would love to go again...someday!!!

We made it we are in Paris...YAY!!!!

Just around the corner from our hotel is the Moulin Rouge. Once a baudy cabaret theatre, today they still do the can-can but it is not as naughty!!

Caitlynn and I in the lobby of the Moulin Rouge, I think we need to brush up on our can can!! ha ha ha

We found The Great Canadian Pub in Paris!!! ha ha ha So of course we had to stop in and have some lunch!

Here we are in Pigalle once the sleazy red light district of Paris. There are lots of sex shops and shows still lining the streets today!!

While waiting to go up the tower of Notre-Dame it was raining. We got to see the gargoyles spitting water out of their mouths.

Just some of the magnificent gargoyles atop Notre-Dame.

While walking up the almost 400 stairs to the North Tower of Notre-Dame, we spotted a pigeon with babies in one of the windows. You can see the spikes they use to keep pigeons off. It didn't stop this Mommy. How tender she is caring for her babies!!

John and I in front of Notre-Dame.
