Funny things...

Ok so the horrible day yesterday (see prev. post) resulted in a few funny moment that are funnier today then they were yesterday.

I took Mom and Dad's van up to pay all the car registration and our water bill before we got our tire bill. So i Pulled out of our driveway and right into a huge snowdrift. Uggggg. I screamed i was so mad so i got out and started digging myself out, and thank heavens for small towns a nice young man stopped and started helping me trying not to laugh at how stuck i was and shortly after a nice man with a truck pulled me out with his truck. But how embarrassing in the mean time. But kinda funny now to look at the tire marks i left in the snow drift.

Next so funny of thing was Paris this morning was rubbing Knox's head and Brody was playing with him and Brody said "oh that's so gross" referring to Knox's cradles cap, And Paris replied with a "No it's not B, It's just Cradles Crap". Brody and Me burst out laughing and Paris had no idea what we were laughing for.

And the next thing that made me giggle today. Paris whipped out Foxx Christmas outfit. Poor poor dog!

Crappy day that make you laugh?

Well that's not what happened yesterday. I spent most of the day in tears and feeling sorry for myself. Which in all honesty i think i was allowed. For a few night we have been having problems starting the Truck. Monday all day it would not start and Monday on Brad's way home from work he got a flat tire, So in negative i don't know what temp he changed out his tire and drove home on the donut. So we decided that night he would take the truck in and i would get the car up to charlie to fix the tire. So he jumped the truck and took it up town to fill it up with gas and then it would not start again so i got in the car left the sleeping kids and went to boost which might add it was so cold out the jumpers froze and broke so we had to buy another set. So the next morning it would not start again so Brad felt so bad that he left me with two disabled vehicles and 2 little ones at home in-24 weather with the windchill of -50. So thank heavens for Mom and Dad and a next door freind we got the truck up there and the car. So a hour later we get a phone call that they cannot fix the tire and all of them need to be replaced and the Same on the truck. Christmas is a bit tight this year anyway but slapping a $1100 bill on top of it only makes it more stressful.

So to the laughing part. Ok to tell you the truth I'm not laughing at all but i look around at what i have. And i realize the blessing's i have. I have a husband who has a job and works so hard at his regular job and then works extra job's to help out. I've got kid's who are so great they are making me laugh all the time. And when i take the time to listen to them they really are amazing people. I've got a cozy home. and a mom and a dad who will give up so much for us just to help us when we are down.

So all in all the positives of my life out way the negatives! The negatives just suck.

Happy Birthday to B

My Baby Boy is 8 years old! I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone by. He was born on a super super cold day in 2001 in Edmonton Alberta.

Well we were so happy to have him and most day's we are still happy to have him. He's such a loving boy with a great sense of humor. We love him and are so grateful to our heavenly father for blessing our family with him!

Here are a few pictures of his special day.

What a weekend!

Wow is all i can say. This was the first of many years of our new girls weekend. Missy Mom and I took off Friday morning to head down to Idaho Fall's to meet Ali and have a weekend of shopping, the Forgotten Carols and more shopping, and food and laughs and yep that right more shopping.

We left Friday morning when is stared snowing and the road's were icy but only 10 min out of lethbridge they totally cleared up and were clear all the way there and all the way back. We made it to Helena and stopped at Walmart and since we hit if on Black Friday we got tonne of great deals on everything. Then we decided to go all the way to Idaho fall's as fast as week could so we could hit up a movie. Yippee we got to go see NEW MOON, and laugh all you would like I'm totally on team Jacob now.

The next morning we got up at 6:00 yep that's right and had a quick breakfast and off to shopping we went. All day with one quick break for lunch and discussion on building Condos and beanio. Then off again we shopped hard till 5:30.

We zipped back to the Hotel and got ready for The Forgotten Carols. It was wonderful besides us all being so tired from shopping and getting up so cotton picking early. It was so fun to spend the time with The Sisters and Mom.

So i can't write every detail so these are the top 10's of the trip

#1. Baaaaaaa
#2. Learning that pretty much every word that starts with a F could end up being bad.
#3.when everyone allows me to be the boss, i can do quite well at it.
#4. when Gas rears it's ugly head in hotel rooms or department stores, it can be uncomfortable for all
#5.Cell phone conversations don't always have to be one sided
#6. Alway's try to order a Condo at a Mexican restarant, It just may work one day.
#7. Always go back for missing food you may just end up with extra sour cream
#8. Kenny and Dolly are never out of fashion
#9. The border is just a huge rat race with only one winner (which was us)
#10.Baaaaaaa

I love love love my sisters and my Mom and so glad to be able to spend this time with them!!!
Can't wait for GGGG in 2010 With one additional Member!!!!! LARA!!!
Only Lara could add even more fun then we had already!!

This is pretty much the way we spent the entire trip...


And i had to get one of myself on the drive

After a 7:00am walmart trip which almost filled up the entire truck, happy are we.


Then Ali Arrives

Mom and Ali

And Finally the show........

My kind of winter.

So this is my kind of winter so far. It's a balmy plus 13 out today. I'm in my Capri's and flip flops (which i still wear when it does snow). The last two day's the boys' (as in Blaze and Foxx) have been allowed to go outside to play. Blaze loves it out there. He cruises around the back yard for along time. Foxx does not last as long mostly because he's a little scared of Blaze, which i guess we all kinda are.

Much to Brad's dismay i do believe it may be a mild Winter.......Oh knock on wood. Brad is upset because he has the garden plot made up into a ice rink but he's waiting for it to freeze so he can actually put water in it.


Our sweet baby boy is growing up so fast. He's 4 1/2 months already and doing things way faster then the other kiddies. He's already got 2 teeth, He's rolling from back to front and front to back, and yes his latest thing is once he gets rolled over he's starting to scoot. Yep that's right Scoot. Blahhhhhh. He pulls his little knees up and then pulls with this arms. Boooo he's getting so big and learning to many things to fast (he does not get that from me)
This is him Scooting, I wish i was more tecnologically sound and could do a little movie of him.
