Sorry...

...I've been crazy busy. I seem to say that alot don't I? Well it's true:o)
Hockey is in full swing once again. Wyatt is a second year banntom( his team will have a good chance at winning provincails again this year), Darby is on a Pee Wee Girls hockey team and doing very well. She and a few other girls from the team have been asked to play games with the boys team. Darby thinks that is pretty great because theres contact in the boys hockey.

I've been taking a online photography class with Candice Stringham for the last 5 weeks with 1 week togo. I can't beleive how much I've learn't so far!
Candice is a great teacher, she makes it really easy to understant all that technical stuff.
Next up is a class called Up and Running with Photoshop its being tought by Jessica Sprague. Shes the master of photoshop;o)

The weather has defiantly turned to fall it was -7 this morning. But looks like it should be a sunny day.

I've also been doing some sewing. I made Jazzy the cutiest little flannel dress. I'll post a picture of her in her new dress, she's sooo sweet!
I'm working on some christmas too, oh the fabric I found is just so yummy.
I want to make some thing for me out of it all. I love fabric it's like scrapbook paper you can never have to much.LOL. Wool felt is becoming very popular in sewing, I think I might have to try making a cute little pin coushin. HeatherBalley has some of the cutiest patterns.

I'm going to try to post once a week just to let you know whats going on!

She married this GREAT guy who I can call Uncle Mike, he has a very funny son Chris and a great ... wife to be someday Jackie with 2 beautiful kids Taylor and Parker. We got to visit with alot of family that I haven't seen in years. I have 2 cousins that I haven't seen since my wedding 15 yrs ago. They are so grown up. Kylee is the youngest 17, she is a beautiful singer ( watch for her on Canadian Idol )
Then there is Shelby shes 20... what can I say, you are one crazy girl .LOL Darby and I can't wait to see you again and your rubber chicken.lol

Darby and her great Gramma did some bonding, Darby gave gramma her first painted toenails in 79yrs! and they looked great! I think gramma even liked them :o)

This weekend Darby and I are going on a road trip to Dawson Creek to visit one of my best friends and her family. Can't wait to see them all :0)
Tonight Im off to a baby shower, my girlfriend Angela had a baby girl.

It's been crazy as asual. I've almost got all my yard work done for this summer, just weeding and watering is left. My greenhouse is full of veggies and we are eating fresh veggies from the garden.
Wyatt has been going stircrazy! he fractured his wrist a few weeks ago, and can't wait to go mountin biking with his buds.
Darby and I've been scrappin' together alot in the evenings. She's also been working out on her grammas farm, to earn money to buy a dirtbike! Crazy girl.
I went to an estate auction yesterday and bought a few little treasures, no idea were I'll put them. But I just HAD to have them.
I wish we had antique flee markets here like they do in the States. Even so good antique stores, there's really nothing here or in P.G.

It's been a while...

... since I was here. I 've been trying to get my never ending yard work done, but the weather isn't helping. I'll post some pictures so you can see what I've been up too.
Rex and I went to Campbell River last week. Wow is it ever beautiful! We stayed at Painters Lodge. I drove a scooter for the first time and lived to tell about it.LOL. We also went on a 3hr wild life tour on a zodiak, I was a cinnamman bl. bear, egales, seals, porpous, and some valtures eating a
porpous.
My dear husband took me scrapbook store hunting, We found She Runs With Sissors. I was in stamp heaven LOL. It was a great store.
Next we went to THE Scrapbook Room, Lotsa eye candy.

oh... I must tell you about the great service I received. I've been looking for the Laural line from Senic Routie. Finally found it online, Tina's Scrapbooking Creations in Ontario. Tina is the best! check out her site www.tinascrapbooking.com

The kids are just about finished their school year. Darby has mostly feild trips left. I cann't beleive she is going to be going into grade7. Time flies.
Wyatt has 3 exams next week then hes finished and heading into grade 9.
He will be getting a job this summer working 5 days a week at his dads lumber yard. He needs to start making some money so he can aford to keep upgrading parts on his mountian bike. wow is that ever an expensive sport!
He belongs to the local mountian bike club Rippin' the North.

Tomorrow is my 15th wedding anniversary. Wow... time sure flies!
Instead of getting Rex a card I made him a new bookmarker.
I wish you could see just how nice it really is, the picture really doesn't do it justice. I think I might have to make myself one.
