Remembrance Day

Our Scouts do a fundraiser every year, they put up flags on all the holidays at each house, it is really kind of cool to see all the flags each morning of the holidays, especially Remembrance Day, it is a special day for all of us, and we gladly take our turn every year on Remembrace Day to put up and take down flags in our ward. Justin had to work this year, so Brad and I were on our own in the morning but recruited Wyatt for the take down!!!!! It was a Beautiful morning with a glorious sun rise!!!! We were a little sad we have a little family tradition of putting up flags and then we go out for Breakfast as a little family, but without Justin, we just settled for Hot Chocolate and Dounuts ( Bradley and I experimented Sunday afternoon to see if we could master homemade dounuts, they turned out not so bad, but needing some improvement!!!!) Poor Justin we start the mess and he usally comes in the middle and ends up finishing and cleaning up!!! You got to love us, we always get wonderful ideas and end up way over our heads!!!) Yes back to Remembrace Day flags.... Brad and I managed to get them all up!!!! But as the day went on the wind decided to blow and it was aweful by the time we had to pick them up, thank goodness for Wyatt because Brad and I couldn't have done it alone..... The wind was whipping those flags around like you wouldn't believe and it was BITTER COLD!!! And poor Wyatt and Brad had to lay in the bed of the truck to hold the stupid flags in .... WHAT AN ADVENTURE, but you know little boys, they had a blast and thought it was awesome fun with TONS OF LAUGHTER!!!! They were giggleing like little girls...
To much fun!!!!

Halloween 2007

Brad had fun on Halloween, he dressed as a Rockin' Hot Cowboy for school. He decided this year to just have friends over and have a party. The went Air soft gun fighting for an hour or so, and then came back here for a Halloween supper of Quesidias and treats, Justin was the Quesida maker and Kent, Kristi and the kids came trick or treating and decided to stay for supper!! We had a fun visit and some good entertainment when Kent decided to try the air soft gun on Kristi at short range!!! Well you know Kristi, it turned into a full fledged air soft gun fight in my Kitchen!!!! The kids thought that was hilarious!!!! Good times had by all!!!!

The Flu!!!!!!!

Well a couple of weeks ago, on Sunday morning Justin woke up and said those famous words "I don't think I feel good" and BOOM!!!! The stomach flu!!!!!! He was down all day with it and Bradley and I stayed right away and I immediatley started washing everything, because Bradley will pick any infection up for sure!! Well about 6pm "Mom I don't feel very well" and away we went with Brad...... and it hit his poor little body brutally hard!!!! He just has absolutley no immune system. By about 9:30pm it was out of control and I took Brad to emergancy and Dr. Low started him on IV , gravol and something else to help with the nausea... by 11:00 they still couldn't get him to slow down, so they admitted him. So all night Sunday and by Monday they had the nausea under control but they wanted to keep on top of it and keep him hydrated so they kept him Monday and Tuesday. (Monday night in the Hospital, guess who else got the flu??? ME!!!!!!!! I felt like such a loser, but what do you do!!!! So I had to be on IV too!!! How embarrassing!!!!) So Tueday night we both got to go home.....But on the up side we are all better now and going for our flu shots this week! One wonderful thing came out of it though, we discovered Brad has some very awesome friends, He got letters, cards, candy grams, and a candy boquet. I swear half the junior high school signed one of the cards.... it was so awesome that he has friends that care for him so much!!!! Brad was a little embarrased to have the attention, but we just had to keep telling him that is what friends do for each other!!!!

Thanksgiving 07

We had a good thanksgiving weekend full of way to much food!!!! The kids had fun and it was a nice to have a break from work for Justin.... He still has not had any time off, maybe soon;0) He still is loving his job so thats good!

Summer Pictures

Summer in a glance!!!

We were very busy with the play and tons of driving back and forth to the Lake!!!! But is was all fun, no regrets, we had a wonderful time. Bradley had a couple times in July where we got to stay at the lake for 5-6 days at a time, so it was very fun. It was so fun to have Riley, Kiersten & Haley come down to see the play. Sonia and the boys also got to come. It was wonderful for Bradley to have their support and so fun to have them all to play with (Kelsey, Wyatt, Hayden & Brodie too!)Bradley did tons of skiing and wakeboarding and swimming like a fish. Justin got only one extra day off, so he is pretty burned out and in need of a holiday, but life is too busy right now, so hopefully soon he will get a break!!

Seussical the Musical!!!

It is now offical, the play has begun!!!!! The play started Monday Night, My mom & dad came all the way home from the lake for opening night!!! Grandma & pa Wynder, Travis & Kathy & Kiersten & Haley & Riley all were there!!! It was so fun!! Brad was a little nervous because there is so much to remember and there isn't never rehersals to work out the kinks!!! This is the biggest part he has ever had and the least amount of Rehersal Time!!! But they pulled it off and did an awesome job!!!! We were so proud of him!!!!!

Kiersten & Haley & Riley are HERE!!!!!

On Saturday Travis & Kathy and the girls came down for a visit, needless to say we were very happy to see them!!!!!
They had picked up the Kiersten & Haley off the plane in Calgary, they stayed over and did the zoo before they came to visit,
We had a very nice time, Saturday Night we had dinner at Yotes and then went out to Marla's so the kids could all play!!!

July Long Weekend

We went to the Lake for the long weekend, Justin stayed until Tuesday and Bradley and I stayed until Thursday..... We stayed for the 4th of July Party at the lake. We had awesome food and Fireworks again this year thanks to Jim Bob and Serena. Brad had a very fun time Grandpa and Gama spoiled him rotten as always, Jake had so much fun, he kept falling off the Dock, he hasn't figured out that he can't walk on water, he also jumped into the paddle boat and away he went all by himself, I had to swim out to get him, he is worse than a child!!!! Brad had tons of fun on the 4th, Jim Bob came and picked him up at the point on the lake beside my Parents cabin and took Bradley into town for groceries in the Helicopter, Bradley thought that was pretty cool... Especially since Dad's Helicopter is in the shop for repairs, I feel really bad for him there is something wrong with the engine and it is going to cost a ton to fix, he is pretty discouraged, but he has worked so hard and always wanted to get his licence so he must keep at it.... Seussical starts on Monday Night, so the nights are getting pretty long, 1 am last night!!! All day Saturday and Monday and the show must go on!!!! Pray for them, they still have a few kinks to work out!!!!!

The Funniest Thing

We were having Sunday Dinner at our house with the Wynder Family, and for Dessert I cooked Blonde Brownies, and Kelsey & Bradley decided they wanted Ice Cream with the hot brownies.... So they rode the scooter over to Rae's to get the ice cream. Well they come back giggling like little school girls, we don't think anything of it until we are dishing up the Ice Cream and there was little "floaties" in the Ice cream, come to find out they had a little "Accident" on the scooter, the ice cream fell out of the bucket onto the ground, they just flipped it over back into the bucket, scraped of the top and away they came!!!!!! Look at the bottom of the BUCKET!!!!!! And we were EATING IT!!!!!!! Those little turkeys thought it was soooooo funny!!!!!!
