A little behind

I took this shot a couple days after Christmas ....I should have posted it before, but i just haven't had time.
We all went for a walk...ok a trudge through the snow on Fox mountain...the trees were still covered in ice from the freezing rain and then there was snow on top of that. It was Beautiful, and we needed to wear off some off the 4 tonnes of food we'd been eating.
I love this shot of L with Uncle Gord, it really says something about the bond that they share...Uncle Gord and Auntie Jay are as close to really family as it gets ..with out the blood relation of course...they have watched the boys grow since they day they were born and then some. They are "our in town family" , does that make sense? haha ...I don't know what we would do without them...good friends , great memories!
I have more shots from our walk ...but this is my favorite...will try to post more

And 2009 ...rushes in!

Happy New Year to Everyone! Where does the time go?
Yesterday we all went for a walk...of course we were looking for something..aren't we always hunting in the bush. it was cool, not cold! and the fresh air was nice.
Look! a shot of all the boys together...and they are all looking .....AMAZING!!
And Mike took one of Me and L...And his focus was great...another Amazing thing.... and Mike ...hunting in the trees...it must suck to be 6'3"...lol
And L and C decided to do this...C brought the ski off a gt racer..so this is snow surfing? I wish I had time to take a picture of L..flying through the air like superman...Hilarious! Filled his shoes ,shirt and coat full of snow when he crashed...bet he wishes he wore his winter gear...told you so...yes , your mother is always right!!

And C swooshing down the hill...nice outfit eh? Skate shoes and a hoodie...do these kids not realize that it is winter? And then they wonder why they are cold!!

Wishing you all a year full of Amazing , fun events...that memories are made of...

My new years resolution...hmmm...don't sweat the small stuff...pick your battles wisely....because some stuff just isn't worth gripping about

Some Natural light

Some days there is really nice light through the sliding doors in the living room...if the glass is clean and the sun is not out..today was that day. I made L grab his soccer ball...so I could try something...this isn't bad ..but it's soft....more practice but I like this one

And of course one of C with his new electric guitar, still soft but I like this one too...chapped lips and all And I tried to get one of the two of them..outside this afternoon..the white snow makes their skin look grey...ugghh. But it was funny...Yes , that is Gum in C mouth...they wouldn't sit still and kept making jokes...I gave up :)

A little Macro fix

I have to thank L for these...If he hadn't run the snowmobile into the metal pole of the shelter...I would have never found these beautiful Ice Crystals... Yes everyone is fine...the snowmobile was barely moving... and the hollow metal tubes that hold the tarp on....are flimsey to say the least...the shelter is weighted down with some of Mike's old tires (on rims)...so when we took down the shelter and put the tires in a pile...I noticed these inside the tire rims...like natures diamonds....ohhhhh Pretty!

I re-sized these wrong..ughh

Snap Shots of Christmas

We had a GREAT day! Stayed in our PJ's most of it. C played his electric guitar, L figured out his cell phone, and M played with his new GPS mapping CD. And Chloe played with her new toys. I took pictures and we all ate too much. We managed to get outside for some fresh air , and Woody (the woodpecker) made an appearance...Life is Good!
Hope you all had a wonderful day full of laughter and love.

Tis the night befor Christmas

where should I begin.....

Log's acting gay,

Corbin needs ridilin..

Mike came home early,

And headed out for GAS

Left without the Boys

Should kick him in the *SS

Daddy returns,

fills the sled with some fuel,

the boys are excited,

"Start up the old Mule"

Around the yard

At the speed of light,

The kids screaming "faster!"

Oh what a fright!

With red windburnt faces

and grins to their ears

Best Christmas Eve ever...

They'll remember it for years

Still Freezing and going insane

I have no pictures to share today...I should take some pictures of Chloe (the dog) . Took her to Steph's...no full cut this time ..it is just too cold for her to have no hair. So she received a clean up..her face, paws and butt...Steph (the amazing dog whisperer/stylist) also brushed her out and got rid of the matts...Chloe now looks like a backwards bobble head dog... little tiny head and this huge puffy body...a big white marshmellow. She looks like an over weight cat..and acts like one too. She lives in front of the fireplace sucking up the warmth.
I feel bad for her. We have to take her out the back door to pee...her feet freeze instantly and we have had to save her more than once...no snoopin' by the fence, no playing in the yard , and for the past 2 weeks no walking to the bus stop to wait for the kids (her favorite time of day). Poor Pooch!
I will go take a photo of the marshmellow and add it later
