Too Long

The kids at Easter


Helping Daddy build the fence



Seth fell asleep on Daddy's lap while Daddy was on the computer!


Seth found this skateboard at a garage sale and decided to "skelton" it down the guy's driveway. He thought it was hilarious and asked to take a picture. The Police helmet "makes" the picture! Our own future gold medalist!


Playing on the slip and slide



Terry's incision (about 4 days after surgery)


My family!

I know it's been a really long time since I've updated this thing and I apologize. I've been busy! I finished up my last CGA course (which was a doozy by the way) at the beginning of June and I've been enjoying the time not having to study! I find out whether I passed or not at the end of July. After that, I have 2 University courses that I have to finish up next year as well as an internship which i can do at work, then, after 10 LLLOOONNNGGG years of correspondence courses, I'll be a CGA! It is our 10 year anniversary in September, and we've never been anywhere, so we are treating ourselves to a warm vacation once my last exam is done in March!

The kids are growing up too fast! Breana just finished Grade 1. GRADE 1! She absolutely loves school and was very upset to be done. She misses her friends, but we make sure that she has lots of play dates with them. She is ahead of the game in the majority of the academic areas. She's a great reader (already reading chapter books), loves math and is a grade ahead of where she is supposed to be for spelling.

Seth is your typical 3-year old boy. Strong-willed, stubborn, defiant, mischeiveous, devilish...I could go on an on! He sure likes to test the boundaries that boy! I'm pretty sure he's going to give us a good run for our money when he gets older. I'm not sure I deserve that (I was the good kid) but apparently Terry does! Thanks honey!!!

Terry is doing well. He had surgery about a week ago on his elbow to move his ulner nerve. His hand was going numb and he has lost muscle in his hand so they hope this will help.

Hopefully I will update more often, but I am not going to guarantee anything!

It can happen to anyone!!!



This is my boss's truck. He ended up in the ICU for a week, then being released. Needless to say, he got off really lucky and was fortunate to be driving an F350 four-door truck, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been around to celebrate his daughter's 7th birthday that was happening 2 days after the accident.

Please heed his warning as posted on our dealership's intranet!

"All in all, I came out of the accident relatively unharmed with only 9 broken ribs, some stitches and bruising. Could have been a lot worse!

Please learn from my stupidity! It can happen so quickly. You would never think that by checking a text message or reading an email you could become so distracted that you loose attention to a grain truck slowing down on the Trans Canada highway. BUT that is exactly what happened. When I looked up the truck was six feet in front of me almost at a dead stop turning onto a gravel road. I don’t think I had time to step on the brake releasing the cruise.

Modern technology is wonderful to keep us all instantly ‘up-to-speed’ but please leave your cell phone in its case until your next stop. Please use wireless devices if you are going to talk while driving. As I’ve learned you can only respond to the message if you are alive!

Please keep your cell phones away from you when you are driving. Please stop to talk if you have to, and that e-mail/text will still be on your phone when you get to your destination. Like he said, you can only respond to the message if you are alive.

Drive safe!
