My yard

 

 

 

 The only problem with our house was that we had to do the landscaping!!! The is Huge in my life I don't do well with Reno's. So I hired a friend from our ward. I thought I know where he is if I have any problems. Side note in Winnipeg we hired a landscaper and he ran away with our money and a Huge mess to clean up in our yard and our neighbours. So back to Tyson. He drew up some plans, brought them over I loved them and away he started in less then five days I went from weeds that Jewels could hide in because they were four feet high to a personal haven all my own. Now as I have said before I will share with the family. He did such a great job he exceeded our expectations and I would recommend him to everyone if you live here of course so now you can see my yard where I lounge around in. I love my house I love my yard in the world my yards the best. Slight changes from the book Dr. Seuss

Alina is SEVEN

 

 

 

 

Well my little girl is getting to be not so little, Alina just turned 7 on the 20th of July. Surprise she didn't want a friend party so we packed up a bonfire and cake and headed out to Magrath for a evening of swimming building in the sand and of course the fire. It was a beautiful day and evening to share with the Courts. The kids had a treasure hunt in which they had to do a jingle and then learn a new song to get the candy. They are such good sports. Alina wanted cowboy boots and since we live in southern Alberta I thought i should get her a pair, Well let me tell you I had a Hugh selection it was hard to pick a pair. I love them and you now can't see her going anywhere unless they are on her feet. It was a super day the only down fall was well eating her hot dog she lost her tooth and swallowed it. We had to write the tooth fairy a little note explaining what happened. She did still come and Alina was happy once again.

A fun afternoon.

 

 

 

 

Because I am a great mom I took my kids to the circus, Yes can you believe it came to lethbridge. They had passes all over the place So I came home and packed the kids up and off we went, to an afternoon of laughs. Now the tight rope did get my all tied up in knots I wasn't sure if he was going to make he did have one little slip but when your up there you can't afford little of anything. The elephants won my kids hearts, they thought that they were great. So another afternoon entertained still lots to go...........

Winnipeg

 
 
 
 
THe first week of July we headed to friendly Manitoba to go visit the fam and friends. we had a busy week and I could not wait to sleep and recoupe from the late party nights. A big thank you to the McDonalds for the bbq and Diane for my girl talk till 1am and of course to my parents for the use of thier house,car,and good times. Next year we will have to stay longer then a week but we live and we learn......

My poor ice maker.........may you rest in peace.

 
 
We love our ice machine but it went to ice making heaven so sad that brand new stuff didn't even last for three months. The good news is that they brought me a new one but now want to replace the panel in the fridge so hopefully in one more we we can walk over to my friend and pousha button and get yummy cold ice to put in our drinks to keep us cool.

Summer is here.

Well here we are in the second week of summer holidays, we have had a couple of highlights. The Courts invited us to go camping in the beauty of waterton,It was so much fun to watch the kids play in rivers, climb the red rock canyon roast marshmallows watch the fire and make the kids do a dinner time jiggle. They didn't sound the fond of it at the first meal but everyone after they asked if it was time to jiggle. They would laugh sing a song or two shake their grove all for the entertainment of the moms. the biggest party pooper was James, who neither jiggled or shook his grove. I had my knee injected and my middle finger, so I was the hiker pooper and never went out with them I got hold down the fort and read a book. Now we are off to Winnipeg for a week so we will see what is in store for us there.
