March comes in like a LION!

2007-03-20T18:08:00.000-07:00

The saying holds true as we've had mornings in the last few weeks that we wake up to SNOW! Spring is coming?????????? The calendar picture at preschool has kids running around in shorts, flying kites and green grass. I had to explain to the kids that in other cities it is Spring, but here it takes a bit longer. And then it snows...again. I don't know if they're buying my story! Well, not much is happening around here. We are excited to be going to visit our new nephew for a few days soon.(oh and we're happy to see his parents too!)We'll post a pic when we get back!

Hi! Here's a link to our Disneyland video that Bob put together! Check out the fun we had and all the memories we made!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!!!!

2007-02-14T18:01:00.000-08:00

Ahhhhh yes, the day of luuuuuvvvvvvvvvvvv. The girls woke up with morning in great moods and we made them heart waffles! Heart gum machines and chocolate were their treats of the day for them too! Yesterday Emily and I made 77 cupcakes with heart ju-jubes on them for the girls classes, which they were excited about! The girls came home pumped up on sugar and Valentines from their friends! It's been a fun day!!

Love is in the air.............

2007-02-10T19:08:00.000-08:00

Well actually snow and a cold chill is in the air! *smile* Ahhh, yes, it's winter for a while yet! I love February and Valentines and it's not because my hubby pours on the romance with flowers, chocolates or dinner out. I love making Valentine cards and cookies for friends and family. I started doing it years ago and it's so much fun! Yesterday I delivered a bunch of my 'Love Buckets' to friends in Q., and now in the next few days I hope to whip off some more cookies for my P.G. friends! It's fun because unlike Christmas, people don't expect anything and it comes as a 'sweet' surprise! Gives me warm fuzzies inside! Lucky for me I get to celebrate Valentines at preschool which has been alot of fun and this week is our party days! Just to give you a heads up......Wednesday is Valentines Day! Shop before it's too late!

Disney Daze are over!

2007-02-06T19:13:00.000-08:00

We're back from the 'happiest place on earth'!!!!! Wow, it's hard to believe our long awaited trip is over! It was amazing and there's no possible way you couldn't enjoy every minute of it! Okay, let me rephrase that, the sore legs and feet from the chaotic first few days when we went hog wild crazy I wasn't lovin'!The last few days we were there it was 28 degrees. That's summer to us! It was beautiful! Coming home was a bit depressing as the snow and dirt roads along with the cold temps gave you a quick reality check. Space Mountain was a highlight for our family as we could all go on it, but the ride California Screamin' gave the best adrenaline rush and best speed and brought me back to my childhood when my brother and I loved to ride the rollercoasters! Most rides were short waits, but the rollercoasters were 45-60 wait! Can't imagine 'peak' season! I could go on, and on, and on about the highlights, but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves! Bob and I already are talking about when we go again! It was the best family time and great memories for our girls! Now it's time to scrapbook............

ONE MORE SLEEP!!!!

2007-01-27T22:09:00.000-08:00

To the happiest place on earth!!!!!

Will tell you all about it when we get back!!! S.

These are a few of my favorite things!

2007-01-23T21:54:00.000-08:00

'Reba'

' Emmers'

'Bethie'

'Natters'

Spring or Winter? That is the question!

2007-01-22T17:13:00.000-08:00

This global warming thing has the weather really messed up or something! One day we're freezing and cranking the heat to stay warm while piles of snow falls, then we're shedding our sweaters and manuevering huge puddles of melted snow!To think this will continue for the next couple of months is draining!I'm so looking forward to a week away with the girls and my hubby at the "happiest place on earth"!It's sneaking up on us here and it's hard to believe it's really going to happen! The girls have never flown anywhere and Emily is having anxiety pains in her chest at the thought of flying. She'll be surprised how exciting and great it really is!!

Beth learned how to make snowflakes at school- we're snowflake 'happy' now!!!

Happy January Mother's Day!

2007-01-09T13:06:00.000-08:00

Yahooooo, they went back to school. Now don't take me wrong, I love my girls dearly and enjoy the extra time we spend together over the holidays. It's just when that extra time becomes tooooo much extra time and the kids start to drive you NUTS! When they sleep till noon and you can't even get them to pick a sock they left lying in the hall for the last two weeks, or when they've sat in front of the tv so long, drool is coming down the side of their cheek. Ok, the last one was an exageration, but you get the point! Or you know it's time for them to go back to school, when they say they miss school, after all it is a foundation of their social life. Bob and I were heading to bed Sunday night when Bob sees Bethany jumped out of bed, get dressed, make her bed and procede to head out of her room. Bob caught her and told her it wasn't morning, that mom and dad were just going to bed. She was thoroughly embarrassed and started 'weeping and knashing her teeth'. I had to crawl into bed with her and calm her down. As I stroked her head I had to just smile at the innocence of being 6 and that childhood excitement of going back to school!

A dream is a wish your heart makes..........

28 days till we experience the MAGIC!

A New Year Awaits!

2007-01-01T11:29:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year!! Can it really be 2007? Wow! I hope you all had a great time celebrating! Our family joined friends for a fondue and stuffed ourselves silly! We didn't stop with just doing cheese, oil or chocolate, we did all THREE! *smile* It was simply great and a perfect way to sit around and laugh and chat! Not like Christmas dinner when you cook all day and it's all over in about 10 minutes! Our kids thought fondue was just the best and cooking their own meat chunks was a highlight of the evening! Though all the adults were yawning and it was only 11pm, we took on a few games of 'Sequence', girls against the guys. I'm sad to report the guys won each time and I'll chalk that up to the hour of the night! As midnight was minutes away we turned on CBC Radio. The loopy radio announcer gave us a few good laughs and counted the new year in for us ! A New Years kiss to the hubby, and a 'let's round up the kids' as to say, we've had a great night, but it's midnight and past our bedtime!' Thanks L & C, same time, same place next year??? haha I'm not making any new years resolutions, as I never keep them anyways. After the last 6 months of difficult adjustment, 2007 can only get better!! Happy New Year everyone!

MERRY HO! HO!

2006-12-26T13:21:00.000-08:00

Jingle bells, jingle bells, it's Christmas once again ! I hope you had a wonderful day! The excitement level was high at our house as we tucked the girls into bed Christmas Eve. As well as being pumped up about Christmas, they were on a sugar high already from all the treats we had at home after the candlelight service at church. Morning only came at 7:30am and the girls checked out their stockings and were happy with what they found. Only once the coffee was on and poured was it morning for Bob and I! haha It's so fun to watch the girls wait with excitement and anticipation as we take turn's opening gifts. Everything was a great success and everyone was thrilled with their 'loot'!Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas cards???

2006-12-24T23:12:00.001-08:00

Have you ever recieved a christmas card from someone you didn't know? At first I thought it must be a friend of Bobs. I read the christmas letter which even had a person note written at the bottom, a family picture was sent and everything! I double checked the address and sure enough it was to us. When I asked Bob, he didn't have a clue and was amused as was I. This is truly a first for us. So somewhere out there a christmas greeting has been sent- and maybe one day we'll meet them! Merry Christmas friends!

NINE DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!!

2006-12-17T00:00:00.000-08:00

Yes, it's coming up fast here and I wanted to share how we're preparing for the big day! Tonite we drove around and looked at Christmas lights- 'Candy Cane Lane' is a highlight here in this city and it's just down the street from us. It was -15 and $160 for the horse and carriage ride, which we had to pass up, much to our daughters disappointment! Well, we came back and pulled out the eggnog and the gingerbread house kit while listening to "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" and " I farted on Santa's lap". Sadly we've heard these songs so many times that we were all singing along!(Bob denies it!) Ahhhh,the memories we are making with our children!!

2006-12-06T20:33:00.000-08:00

Snow! Snow! Snow!
Lots of snow has fallen
already, but now it's
turning to rain! Nothing
like making a big mess
out there! Happy
Slush Days!

Christmas Card Pics!

2006-12-05T15:49:00.000-08:00

If you're in my address book, this is the family pic you'll be getting with your Christmas card this year! It turned out great and everyone was smiling! Yeah!Wow, only 20 days till Christmas! We've got tons of snow and the girls are enjoying playing in it, even the oldest!haha We took the girls to the movie 'Nativity' over the weekend and it was fabulous.The girls were thrilled with their very own 'Happy Feet' popcorn buckets! The movie is a real must see for everyone (though little eyes might find some parts scary, Beth did!) It was a great reminder of what Mary and Joseph might have been like, their culture and everything they must have gone through bringing Jesus into this world! Enjoy all your preparations for Christmas- this year only happens once!

Well tonite it started snowing.It's beautiful to watch and makes everything look clean. Bob was out shovelling the drive way with great enthusiasm! haha It's the headache of waking up every morning and making sure the kids have their snow pants packed, gloves...you get the idea, that makes me cringe. Dare you ever come across a morning where everythings wet just as the kids want to walk out the door!! Lucky to live in the lowermainland!!
