May 18, 2018

Hello to all. Once again it's time to update you all on our lives. Our snow is finally gone! We had lots of flooding and lots of roads washed out. As some of you  know we have a creek the runs in the spring right by our house. The water was with in 2 feet or less of our pouch. The water was really really muddy this year so it left lots of mud on the lawn. Right now the farmers are busy seeding and have been for a good week or so. I don't think they are getting in the fields any later than normal. Back to April 1 we went to folks for dinner. The 2nd and 3rd I cleaned house. The 5th the kids and I went to folks in the evening as Vicky and her girls where here. Kelly was working the night shift because they where really busy. The 6th we served hot lunch at school. Also we ran to town in the evening for groceries. The 7th it was Kelly's birthday. HE took Nigel and went to a gun show in Dawson Creek. I made a couple of cakes for supper and we told them to folks in the evening for cake and ice cream. The 8th we had folks, Vicky, and Isaac's for dinner. In the evening we went to Kevin and Rosi's. The 12th we went to folks in the evening. The 13th we left the kids at Tony's even Margo and went out for supper for our anniversary. We also went to the home show a bit and to a grocery store for some milk. We go through about 5-6 gallons of milk in about 2 weeks time and about 5 dozen eggs. We can't wait to get chickens the middle of May. The 15th quit a few people went to church in the evening and the men did a bunch of singing. The 19th I took Margo and Nigel to the ER in the evening. Kelly took Heidi to fire meeting. Margo had an ear infection and Nigel had sinus infection. The 20th we went to folks for supper. The 25th the kids and I went to the library in the morning. The 26th I decided that we needed something fun to do so I got everyone in the car and we went to Beaverlodge  for lunch and went through the A &W drive through. Then we ate in the car on the way home. The 27th we went to town for groceries.  The 28th we went to folks for supper. The 29th we went to Galen's for dinner and in the evening we as food committee went to church to plan food for the first of 3 weddings that we have coming up so far. It will be fun to this all with 3 kids but we will make it work and people will have to be willing to baby sit for us. The 30th I did book work in the morning and then ran to Beaverlodge and got Heidi and Nigel booked in to swim lessons for the month of May. Let's just say they are beyond excited! Well currently alot has changed in our lives in the last week or so. Unfortunately the job that Kelly had didn't end up working out and so it was back to the drawing board we started sending out resume's again. He sent about 7 or so and heard back from 2 so right now he is doing machining at a different place in the GP. The hours are Monday- Friday 8-430. The other job we heard from is to be a full time fire fighter but the process to get in takes about 3 - 4 months. So he is gonna start that as well. The kids are loving it outside. Heidi has finally gotten braver on her bike so she rides all over. They both love the swings and the sand box. Margo has a swing to and it has been very helpful for me to take her out there and Heidi and Nigel love to take turns pushing her. Margo has popped 2 teeth in the last week so i'm finally getting my happy baby back. Well that's all I have time for right now. Till next time.....  PS please excuse any spelling mistakes. I'm not a very good speller and sometimes my fingers go fast then I can think!😊
