More Pictures! Sweet!

This was our house last week...this week the shakes will get put up in the gables and the beam that is orage we are going to wrap with ceadar...the landscaping is slowing coming along. On right side of the house is our parking area...so we will be putting in a long rock wall along the whole side...too much work! But it should look good!

Check out the sweet helmet...it's my favourite part of the whole riding 'gear' (i got in trouble for calling it an 'out fit'. Hahaha

Ow ow, hot stuff!

So this is Dan's new baby! He is LOVING having a bike again. It's great! When something has been such a big part of someones life for so long it becomes a part of you! All you basketball players know that. It's good!

Have a great week!

Pictures

This is my family at my Grandpa's 70th Birthday Party! We fixed up his old tractor for him...he was SO excited! It was so fun!

May 2006 - our family went up to the cabin and built a cabana. It was so much fun with all the family there!...but LOTS of work :)

This is the finished result. I sanded and painted that whole door...it was too much work! Isn't it so cute tho!!! There is a little loft with 2 beds and one bed and a living area on the main floor. We are planning on making lots of trips up there this year...so hopefully you guys can come!

OK, have a great weekend!

Dirt Bikes and Boys

Hey! I figured it was time for an update...i do not have any pictures to post SORRY, but i got alot of words and nonsense. SO, Dan bought a Dirt Bike! It's a 2006 YZ450F. He is SOOOO excited! I'm sure i'll have lots of pictures to post of him riding his bike since I'm sure it will be a very big part of our lives. Many of you probably don't know that Dan actually was a Pro Motocross Racer 3 years ago. He dislocated his shoulder and had to have surgery and got married...so he had to quit for a while. But now he's healed (and has recovered from the empty pockets after the wedding) and has been dying to get a bike for quite awhile...so Friday was the day. We already spent quite a bit of time at the track this weekend...it's been fun!

We went to AJ and Holly Williams wedding on the weekend...it was a very nice wedding! AJ & Holly are Dan's good friends from High School...so it was fun for him to catch up with all this friends. The food was SO good...lots of Seafood! Other than dirt biking and the wedding we WORKED ALL WEEKEND on our landscaping...i don't think the work never ends. AND we have a list 35 items long of things we need to get done this month. And these items are little...one of them is "Build a Shed", another one is "Plant Grass" (on about 1 acre)...oh boy. BUT one of these days we'll get to Thailand and spend 6 weeks on the beach :) I can't wait.

Tommorow we're going to a Cheifs game & other than that we're landscaping and building sheds and trying to check off as many of our 35 items as possible.

Take care! I'll try and write again soon and post pictures. Bye

Working

Well, since i spend 2080 hours of my life at work...i thot i'd share a few pictures of work.

This afternoon I had a 1 day old visitor...him and 19 other brothers and sisters were going to make the 8 hour journey to their new home...so cute :) This one had a better future than most of our ducks... :s

Fun times at the office...I do work...sometimes. Are my glasses always crooked like that? I should look into that.

Bonus Shot: I actually DO wakeboard :) This is probably after I landed a 360 or something...hahaha, JK! I didn't do any faceplants tho this year...maybe next year we'll have a boat that produces more than a 10 inch wake :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

1 month later

I can't help it if my life has become boring and i have not been motivated to put it in writing! Buy sorry anyway. The last time I posted was on September 11th.

September 11, 2001 - Denise and I woke up in our musty VW Westfailia to commotion out by the washrooms. We had rolled into a small private campsite the night before for a clean shower and a quiet night sleep. We hoped out of the van and went outside to see what all the commotion was about. Everyone was talking about the terrorist attacks and we heard some wild randitions to a even wilder truth. We packed up our van and turned on the radio to listen to the news. As we weaved down some back roads of a small town just outside of San Fransico, we were chilled by the hunderds of flags flying a half mast. We found out the Golden Gate bridge was closed down due to fear of more terrorist attacks. Anyways - that's were I was during 9/11.

And 9/16/01 - another day to remember. We were heading back from our trip down the coast and we got rearended by a big Dodge Ram. My back was broken and may other cuts, bumps, and bruises (along with a 8 inch stick in my foot). We spend 4 days in the hospital at Mt. Shasta in California (really nice hospital! - really!!!). Due to 9/11, the airporst were closed to international flights...so my paren't drove a Suburban out, drugged me up on LOTS of morphine...made me a comfy bed out of airmatresses and foamies and drove me home - only to spend 6 weeks in bed and another 3 months in recovery.

Then we come to some great memories of September:

9/9/84 - Dan was born!

9/10/04 - Dan and I were married

OK - not much has been new lately. Dan has been gone hunting like every weekend...so i've spent alot of girl time over the past month...it's been so much fun! This weekend Cass & Ange are taking me to Vancouver for the weekend! We are going to stay in a hotel and shop and relax and eat foot...i can't wait!!!

Well, i'm bored of writing. Sometime i might become motivated to post some pictures and write more relavent information - until then...take care! Enjoy the trees :)
