hello from Mexico

Its a hot +29 outside and I think I've allready burnt my cheeks. We are in the Myan Rivera our hotel is really nice. Our room has a sitting area, king size bed, walk in closet, his &hers vanitys, a jucczi tub for 2,and an indoor / outdoor shower the roof is grass open to the outside and bigger then my masterbath at home! We have a privet pool with built in lounge chairs, and a waiter who makes sure our drinks never run out. The white sandy beach goes as far as the eye can see on either side its so beautiful. We have reservations at a foundu restaraunt tonight.

Wyatt did it...

... he made the U16 hockey team! I'm sooo proud of him, only two boys from the team were picked both play fwd.

Rex and I leave for Mexico tomarrow, and I haven't even started packing or
cleaning the house.
I've been feeling so... blah lately. Actually for the past month and a half, all I want to do is stay in bed with Jazzy and Brutus.
I went to see the doc and he gave me some new drug to try once were back
from our holiday.

I guess I should start packing... what I don't know, I've gained a bit of weight over the winter and am not looking forwards to trying on my summer clothes:o(

I know what your thinking... Be Happy! your going on a holiday.
I know I will enjoy myself one we get there. Laying by the pool with a drink in hand, chatting with Rex, by ourselves, no kids, no dogs just us. Its been a looong time.

Happy New Year...

... well this past year was crazy busy, hopefully this new year will slow down a bit.
For New Years we booked 2hrs at the arena to play hockey with the family.
Mom and Dad came out to play too. They were doing great, untill mom fell over the goalie and broke her arm:o( After they left from the hospital the rest of us went back to our place to eat and drink well deserved bottle of wine or 2 or 3... LOL

Rex and Wyatt leave for Huston tomorrow, Wyatt is trying out for the U16 B.C hockey team. I'm sure Wyatt will do well as he is a great hockey player.

Darby and I are going snowboarding with the Freitas family, hopefully I come home in one piece. Rex and I are leaving for Mexico (Myan Riveara) next week.

Happy New Year!

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!

home today gone towmorrow...

Darby and I got back from Dawson Creek yesterday, it was a looong hot drive. We made afew stops along the way to cool off, there were some nice lakes and rivers near pull outs. We stoped to cool off our feet and take a quick swim. We had a great time visiting the Carp family, thanks Dawn for everything!
Wyatt and I leave to go ocean fishing with Dad and Tash at 7am. so I'd better get packed! Wish me luck! I wana catch the biggest fish.LOL

a quick update

Well lots has been going on. I attended my Auntie Janets (thats Janet with one "n") LOL wedding in Calagry earlier this month, with my mom, dad and Darby.
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.
So I'd better go make a card!

I'm back...

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.
