I'm sorry that this has taken so long. I'm having trouble with my computer.

Motorbike Fun

Today Jon had the day off so we went and looked at a few show homes (yes...we're thinking about moving again...this time it's actually going to happen though). As we were driving around today without kids, they were both exhausting my Mom, we decided to stop at seitzco and pick up the "surprise" that Jon had ordered for Brielle. She loved it. We got her a tiny little motorbike helmet. She's always asking Jon to take her for rides on his bike and he couldn't because she had no helmet. He'd take her for little rides around the parking lot but that's it. So right now, as I'm typing, she's out for her first "real" ride with her daddy. I took pictures, and I'll post them tomorrow, but for now I'm going to sit by the window and watch anxiously for them to arrive back home.

It's been awhile

Well, I'm not really sure what to say in my little update for you...but someone has been bugging me to update my blog. Don't worry JEN, I won't say who that someone is.
I've been busy partaking in a boot camp at the curves in Okotoks. Today was our last boot camp workout. I have to say that it was actually fun. I know...it's crazy to think that that kind of torture could be fun. But I did enjoy it. For those of you that don't know, the curves boot camp is a half hour work out on their machines with aerobics in between the machines. Followed by a half hour workout on the floor (abs, bum and thighs). There is also a meal plan that you can follow if you want. I did it all. I have to say that I like the results...I lost 4 pounds and a few inches. Good stuff.
Well, there really hasn't been anything else going on. OH hey, this is kinda old news for some of you but Jon's Mom and Dad got a new puppy. She's actually pretty cute. Her name's Maddie, she's a schnauzer...I know...you're thinking "a schnauzer that's cute?" My thoughts exactly...but she is really cute. Here's a picture of her to prove it...



Well, I'll leave you with this adorable picture. Have a great weekend everyone!

Summer Fun!

OK the pictures have now arrived...I had to download them all one at a time but they're here.


My summer has been filled with some travelling and lot's of sun so far. As you know we went to Shuswap lake for a week, and then I went down to Montana with Kelly (my sister), My Mom and Dad, and both kids for a wedding.

It was a beautiful wedding and lots of fun. It was good to see some friends of ours that I haven't seen in years. The bride is a friend of ours from Saskatoon, she's one of those friends that it doesn't matter how long it was since the last time you spoke, you seem to just pick up right where you left off when you see each other.
We had fun. It was also COOKING hot there (+35 at least). The wedding was in Missoula, MT. We got there Friday night, the wedding was Saturday and we left Sunday morning. We didn't come straight home though. My Mom and Dad jumped in their motor home with the brides parents and headed south to California. Kelly and I (and the kids) went north to a cabin near Eureka, MT. Some friends of ours from the church offered to let us stay at their cabin near the lake for a few days so we definitely didn't want to turn them down.

We got to the cabin Sunday night and stayed there until until Thursday morning. It was on the top of a hill looking over the lake...absolutely beautiful view from their deck. The swimming area of the lake was only a few minutes drive away. We also did quite a bit of shopping, ice cream eating, movie watching, milk shake drinking, park playing, card playing, and a bit of exploring.

We're Back!!!

We got back Late Monday night from a wonderful week at Shuswap Lake, B.C. I don't think there was a day cooler than +35. It was stinking hot and we loved every minute of it! We got to Shuswap Late Tuesday night, parked in our site with my Mom and Dad's motor home and boat and went right to sleep. Wednesday morning was a beautiful start to our holiday. We lazed around pretty much all day, I think the only thing we actually accomplished was getting the boat into the water. The guys loaded the boat into the water and Iris and I took the kids for a walk to the store and the beach. After supper we joined the guys on the boat for a quick boat ride...I do mean quick. We almost ran out of gas. The boat suddenly sputtered to a stop on us, so we went to hook up the other tank which felt awfully light. I think we got back to the shore on fumes. Anyways, asides from that little adventure everything else went pretty smoothly.
Our week was full of boating, water-skiing, tubing, suntanning, swimming, seadooing (2 days in a row 4-6 hours ea.), walking, rollerblading, water fights, mini-golf, and I'm sure much more. We had an absolute blast.
The mosquito's ate poor Micah alive the first day that we were there, and on top of that he was teething. He had a rough few days to start his week off. By the long weekend Micah was back to his happy self and we were all able to relax a little more and enjoy our time off. After that first day it was WAY to hot for the mosquito's so we didn't see much of them until late evening. Which I'm sure contributed to Micah's good mood.
We had a great time and got to enjoy some fireworks while sitting on the beach for Canada Day.
I hope you all had a great long weekend as well.
