The First Snaring!!

So for all of you farm girl's you know that

 when you see a gopher and there's snow on the ground it means only one thing!!

SPRING!!!!

And even if the ground hog saw his shadow or not, when you see one of these guys you know spring is coming!!

So last Saturday the weather was beautiful so I took the boys out to grandma and grandpa Reeder's farm...

And uncle Casey took Conner out to snare gophers and I was a little sceptical so we fallowed  and sure enough they caught not one but 2 gophers!! 

My boys just love to go to the farm and

 that day was probably the best so far!!

Baking Day!!!

MMM... Butter Horns!!

So today was my first baking day that I have had since we moved and  I went all out!!

Andy has been bugging me to make Butter Horns  since forever so I thought I would attempt  them and they actually turned out and there so dang YUMMY!!

Even he thinks so or at least he likes the icing!!!

So today has been a great day in my little kitchen and out of it!!

Not only did my baking get done but so did my roof on my house and tomorrow we'll have windows I'm so thrilled. 

It's about time!!! LOL

Vegas

Vegas Baby!! It was so much fun and so much to do. 

So we headed down to Vegas last week for the World of Concrete Show!!

It sounds like fun huh! Not really! But at least Andy was into it!! 

While we were there  we took in a few shows!! 

THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!!!!

That's right we were in the price is right show in VEGAS!

So much fun it was pretty much the real thing except no Drew Carey.

No I didn't get called down but it was still a RIOT!!!! 

Sorry no pictures of the show but you missed out! We even had bright neon green shirts to wear. We went with a ton of other general contractors and employees from southwest concrete. So the shirts were there idea not mine. 

It's been so nice to get away but I so glad to be home even in this dinky Apartment.

And to my two sweet little men!!!

...........................................................................................................................................

So this is my Blake! What a cutie huh!!! Even with the bruise..

So lately he has become a master Lego builder. And that's all he 

Thinks about

Dreams about

Talks about

And Wakes UP about

 In the MIDDLE Of The NIGHT!!!

That's right he goes to bed with his Lego guy and his yellow steering wheel!!!!

And so last night he woke up so distressed and sad,  I ran in there trying to calm him down

and I kept asking him what hurts! what hurts Blakey!

And the only response other than hiccuping crying  was

WHERE"S MY LEGO GUY!!!!!!!

This is my Master Builder!!! 

He was so proud of this Lego boat he built I just had to get pictures

its not much but he worked for at least 1 hour on this!!!

I'm so glad he's a creative child and can play on his own sometimes!!

Oh and YES he is wearing boxers under that boat!!!!!

The Dominican

beach and horseback riding!!

Happy 2009

Well It's a new year and I love to have a fresh start at life. And to achieve and work at new goals!  What's Better!!!

 So we had a great Christmas this year and we had so much fun in Edmonton at the rides, the water park and of course SHOPPING!!!!

There's nothing like writing your Will to fully appreciate everything your have!! 

This past week we have been busy getting ready to go to the Dominican for a vacation and we knew that we needed to finish our will, it was so hard for me to think that I might not see my boys again and was having a hard time with it. But I am so glad it's done and final and I feel like a huge a weight has been lifted!

I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years!!

Stress!!!

We moved finally and I always get a little sad when we have to move out of a house, We have always have done all the work on are house's so I feel like it's a part of me, Yeah I know sappy right but I lived in one house my entire childhood and teenage years so for me to move every 1 to 2 years is really stressful.  So I posted this pic to just because I Love This House!!!

We have moved and into a little 3 bedroom apt... It been really hard for the boys and well for all of us.. It's cozy and the boys really don't have much room to play so all they have been doing is fighting....  And they are having a hard time sleeping on top of it all. Sorry about this sad sob story of a post but some times you just need to vent.

So if anyone has any idea's on keep myself sane or anything at all let me know..

On the brighter side we are unpacked and have christmas up!!!  And our new house has a basement and floor trusses on. And we are so excited for christmas this year, Andy's parents are taking everyone to West Edmonton Mall for 4 days and we are staying the fanatasy hotel, the boys are so excited to go swimming and everything else that they have to offer. And I'm excited for the Shopping that's right West Ed for boxing day, It's crazy but all you have to do is walk down stairs and shop.. 

So I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Season!!
