valentines day

This is what i found when i woke up in the morning. under the red paper was rose petals, hearts and choolate.




This is what i got in my bag of presents.

after lunch we started to make costumes for our curling team. Our team name was hooters and shooters. the guys had the hooters and the girls had the shooters. We had arm bands that held shooter glasses but you cant really tell in the pic. the hats were our insentive to keep going. kinda like a horse and carrot, only for us it was a shooter glass.

Jay kept himself entertained by trying to catch the shooter glass at the end of the string. he didn't stop until he could do it.

The Queen

Ember was crowned Queen at the School Valentine day party. She also won three toys in different carnival games. She had good luck even though it was Friday the 13th.

I am out of shape

I took the boys toboggening when we were at Weyburn last week. It made me realize how out of shape I am. I would push the boys down the hill and then run to the bottom of the hill to get them. I had to pull the sled and Zane up the hill. after doing this for a little over a hour I was tired and was very happy to hear the boys wanted to go back home.

Can't Believe it!

Today is Zane's Birthday, i can't believe that he turned three today. He is growing up way to fast.

Busy but good day

yesterday we went in to Regina to go to Church and then had lunch at Laura and Wilf's house. After lunch we took the kids swimming. the kids had so much fun, we ended up staying for about two and a half hours, and Zane still did not want to leave. We did a little shopping and then had supper at Pizza Hut, the dessert at Dairy Queen. we got home about 7:45 and the kids were all sleeping by 8. all the swimming tired them out.

random pics from 2008

we got a little tent tailer last year and used it a couple of times, the kids loved it.

we went to drumheller in in July, there was so much to see. we tried to see as much as we could in a day.

this is a group pic of the Reunion we went to for the Decendants of Cornelius Reimer and Maria Unrau. Not everyone that was their was in this pic. We camped and visited and had lots of fun with Jay's family for a few July.

We went to a pumpkin patch and corn maize just west of Regina, we did not pick a very warm day, the wind was really cold.



my halloween crew: a wizard, captian jack sparrow, supper duckie, and supper ladybug.
the boys getting ready to go skating, this was Zane's first year on skates.






2008 had a lot of weddings, we made it to four.

Jay's sister Ged had a little girl in October of 2008

going to try again

I haven't even looked at my blog for such a long, and it took me a few minutes to figure out how to do things again. There is no way that i can catch up on all the stuff i have missed posting on here since my last post in 2007, i will post some random pics from 2008 and start fresh for 2009.

Visit with Austin

We were able to spend a few days with Austin this last week. It was so nice to see him, we haven't had very many pictures over the years so it was a different seeing him all grown up. We stayed in Medicine Hat for a few days and he got to see Auntie Jackie and he had fun playing with his cousins. we came home for a couple of days too, so Austin got to see where we live. here are a few pic of the time we spent together. We are very happy that we were able to spend time with him, just wish it it could have been longer. we already miss him and will continue to miss him until we get to see him again.
