Christmas is almost here!

OI don't know if I am more excited about Christmas or if the kids are more excited! I find they are both perfect age right now!  How they are both so innocent and enjoy the simple things of the season.

I am looking forward to a break from work, and spending time with them!  Bobby and Jodi fly in on the 29th.  It will be great to have the cousins together again for a bit! 

Here's to only a few more anxious sleepless nights! 

Blog slacker! Guilty!

All I can really say is what a whirl wind of a year!  And I hope that 2015 involves more blogging and memory making!! 

Loss

I am in shock and sick to my stomach over the senseless act in Newton CT yesterday!

This day will be etched in history. The 20 children and 6 adults that lost there lives are being paid tribute to all over The country!

As the new unfolded my desire to get home and hug my kids! Now more than ever, and especially so close to a family holiday season, I cherish my family!

Another year gone...ALREADY!

I am finding it hard to believe that the Christmas holiday season is just around the corner! When i look back at this year, I see smiles and fun times!

I have suffered heartache this year, as I am sure many of you have! My Aunt is having issues with her health and on continue to pray for her. I have also dealt with the loss of a very close colleague, Oct 14th will be burned into my memory as this is the day that the world lost Pat Goodfellow! I enjoyed the days I worked with him and am overjoyed to have had the pleasure to have him be part of my life.

We had a lot of great family time this summer with a lot of camping! This was a great summer for weather and it couldn't have been more perfect! I very much look forward to the coming summer season. May will be my new favorite month as it will be the month I get to break out the trailer each year!

Here is to a great Holiday season, with lots of laughs and hugs!

First day of grade 1

Landon had a great first day of grade one! He doesn't seem excited or bummed about starting school.

Summer!

Well we are half way through summer and we have had a blast and I really don't want it to end, and I wish I had more vacation time!

Kendall has also been able to have some time off, this usually doesn't happen in the summer. I am so pleased that her has been able to spend time with us camping and beaching around!

We have pretty much camped most weekends! The 2nd new trailer is much bigger and easier to be in with the kids. At least we are not tripping over each other when inside. We did a 4 day trip in July and I wish it was longer! The new trailer makes camping for longer lengths of time easier and more desirable!

Landon has had a great time with soccer! He has had a few goals and the team mates he has on his team were great!

Our only incident this summer was Avery splitting her head open! Her and Landon had a bit of fight and well it ended badly for Avery! Landon felt awful and was very worries about his sister! A few hair knots glued together and she was good as new!

Canada Day weekend!

So this weekend we celebrate the birth of Canada! We plan to camp at Dollar Lake with some family and friends!

Kendall is hoping to catch some fish with his dad and enjoy a few boat rides! I am looking forward to relaxing and some nice weather!
