Safeway sunflowers

2 for 5 bucks....2 bunches of pretty yellow sunflowers for 5 bucks!! Best money I spent all week. With cloudy skies and more stupid snow...these were just the brightness I needed :)

The weather is a bit better today, it was 12C and melting. If it keeps up , it should be melted my the end of the month.....yikes!

It's Spring break here

For some reason our school district thinks that a 2 week spring break is a good idea. I think it would be a great idea if it was actually spring!! Not snowy, not icy...but spring! Have time off school when the ice covers almost everything, makes it for a dull time....but we fixed that!
We took Corb and went to the local ski hill. I have never seen that much snow up there, it was beautiful. Mike and I haven't skied much in the last 20 years...oh wait, Mike hasn't skied in the last 20 years..haha . We had a great day, and Corbin snowboarded until it was time go.
The weather was great, except for a little fog , but when it cleared you could see for miles. The temperture was mild, just at 0c...very nice! and if you look 1/2 way down the hill that is Corbin.
I didn't take my camera , but took these 2 pictures with my phone.

and during the week , Grama and Gramps were here. Grampa brought Corbin a pump action pellet pistol. So a few shots were in order. My gangster 12 year old :)

Ok I know ....don't point a gun at people!! But I asked Corbin to do this. Not loaded , safety on, it's all good, and it makes for a cool picture.

and a shot of Dad and Corbin...not sure what they were laughin about.

And He's OFF

After 3 months of driving to Vancouver for practice and Camp at EFS. Logan has finally left on the trip of a lifetime. He flew out of Vancouver on March 14th, for a 13 day tour of Holland and Spain, to play soccer. We are so proud of him, and I was a little scared to let him go. Thank God for Facebook (I never thought I would say that ). The trip started in Amsterdam, and then on to Spain (Barcelona, Valencia and now Madrid). They are staying at Hostels , and One hotel. There is 28 players and 13 adult chaparones .
This is the team before they left Vancouver airport

And this is one of the final practices in rainy Vancouver

Logan and Corb at YVR just before they got on the plane, and me and Log....notice that I am not crying!! A little nervous but so thrilled for him!

And the Team of 15 and 16 year olds at the potluck dinner/ meeting the week before they left....have I mentioned that we have been driving to Vancouver ever other weekend.

so now it is Thursday, Logan is in Madrid right now, they have one game left to play. And he will be flying home on Sunday. We get update emails every other day. they have toured 3 pro soccer stadiums, gone to a Barcalona FC game, toured cities and gone to the beach in Valencia. Oh and played some soccer too :)

What an amazing experience for a 15 year old boy. Although we miss him, we know that he is probably having the time of his life...and we can't wait for Sunday at 6pm, when he flies into Williams Lake's little airport.
