Giant Chinese Puzzle...


The puzzle pieces Ryan made turned into this lovely corner cupboard. We had only a few trials and errors! We figure that we can use this cupboard as a kids play room or a dog house or raise chicks...
BTW I have more painting again!

COPS

I have officially accepted a new position at Battlefords Hospital! It is in the chemotherapy department and is half time. I will be referring to it as COPS (not the cops we usually refer to, hee hee). I have to take a 2 week course in Stoon at the end of March then start after that. My news for the day!

I need some...Info!

Hey everyone!

So I need some info for some good ol' family mapping/treeing I'm doing.

Courtney - What are Emily, Jacey, and Ava's middle names? What is Shane's middle name and what is his birthday?

Wendy/Ryan - What is Andrew's middle name? What is Ryan's middle name?

Rene/Clint - What day in June were you married in 2009? And Rene, what is your middle name and what was your last name?

I think that's it for now...and now I go to bed.

Night all!

Our little Miss Katherine!

Finally picked a stain to use...

Mug with Photo of Grandma Jean

Hi all,

I have a mug with a photo on it of Grandma Jean when she went on the Canada 125 Trek. She is sitting on a wagon being pulled by two horses. I was wondering if anyone would like it? Let me know!

Hope you all are staying warm.

Made it Through the Weekend!

I had an awesome weekend coaching senior girls basketball! We lost Friday night (which was the only real bad part of the weekend) and because it was storming Saturday morning a team didn't show up and we ended up being re-pooled. That was a bit frustrating as we ended up having to wait two hours to play after the re-pool. After the first loss against Maidstone on Friday we redeemed ourselves and won against Paradise Hill and then Lashburn. Winning over Lashburn was huge for the girls as we were playing against the home team and home crowd!

I had one girl foul out in that game and a couple others were pretty close! I just kept saying to the girls,"No more than three of you can foul out or we don't have a team!"

The drive home Saturday night was very interesting...the one player's dad works for highway and transportation in Unity, so she phoned him to ask about the roads. He told us to take the double lane home instead of the 21 to Unity because they couldn't keep up with the snow drifts but the double lane had a turkey trail through the snow. It was a long 2.5 hour drive back to Wilkie with white out conditions and snow drifts to plow through. Nyhold's (sp?) Hill was insane...the poor van was just spinning trying to get traction - but we made it to the top!

Believe it or not, the worst part of the trip was from Wilkie to the farm. I was driving on the wrong side of the highway most of the time because the north side of the road was completely drifted over. My car's a tank though - it handled the snow drifts in the yard with no trouble!

I'm busy busy the next few weeks with practices and games for the basketball girls and community drama practices bumped up to twice a week since the production is February 11 and 12 already! Once March comes I won't know what to do with myself - won't have enough going on!

Third Moose...
















Oops, wrong picture first, lol! This is the Redneck version of travelling up in the bush once you get a moose!

Oh well, quite the day getting this moose out of the bush. This old gal had to drive the quad out while Stan tried to keep her on the trailer. We nearly lost her near the start of the journey! Not good...and then I couldn't get up a big hill and Stan had to push us up the rest of the way, ai yi yi! So quite the day for me, I have sore arms from clamping onto to the quad to drive and both of us got our feet driven over at one point in time when we had to rearrange the moose! But no digits were lost! So now to call the butcher!

Blocked in...

Both sides of our crescent being dug up for new water hook ups...hoi. No water...hoi. Thank goodness I don't need water at this time! Stan had to drive through one of the lots being dug up to get out of our lane!

Alarm Bells!

So, apparently you can't enter a house that has the security on without a plan on how to turn it off! Sorry Clint and Rene! Thank goodness the cops didn't do a drive by! After we left Clint and Rene's had a bit more excitement...on the cemetery road saw some big black thing on the side, so had to go back and check, cause of course it looked like a huge dead animal (perhaps a bear!). So our 4 minute detour was 2 black garbage bags full of leaves, hoi! Then on the next bit of highway, 4 does ran in front of us and Stan hit the binders, nothing or no one was injured and the buck on the side of the road decided not to cross as well. That ended the excitement for the day! But the best part was seeing our families! Thanks for doting on us!
