House in Progress...
And so the persistent little devils have chosen their home site,the man has decided to let them build there.
Not sure how the clean up will go
as the man had to stand on his tiptoes on his biggest ladder
to reach the top piece of siding!

A Happy Birthday
Birthday was good. Work was about normal, got the Mama Mia from Verns, and some pretty wicked workboots. All in all, a pretty good day.
Unexpected Guests
I had two interesting visitors on my front lawn Sunday morning: a pair of Hungarian Partridge! Couldn't get the camera out in time though... Who'da thunk it?

Heard the Phoebe singing today!!! Gotta agree with Ryan's mom, a very nice song bird.
Woman who paints a lot was busy again,
I think I can see the end of the white insides of cupboards!

It is a surprise
To find poop in the places
Where poop should not be.

The springtime cometh
With birds, trees, and flowering
Things that I like.

Booters and splash pants.
Wet children puddle jumping
The promise of spring.

Sam is back!
I was so glad to get back home Friday and to make the day Old Sam Peabody (aka white throated sparrow) had arrived back from his southern trip as well! And the catkins are popping on the poplar tree outside our window, so spring has got to be coming folks! Stan has the floor pretty much prepped for the carpet layers (coming on the 1st) except for 2 nasty squeaks in the hallway. Everything seems to take twice as long as it should! Have a great weekend everyone!

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!

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!

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!
