Question to Ask Yourself?
If your hard drive were to crash right now, what would you lose? I'm trying to think of what I have lost. It's times like these though that you realize that it's all just stuff. Sure I'll be upset to lose pictures and some files I've worked on but in the end it's all going to burn anyway. Let this be a friendly reminder to back up your information though. Later.

Have you seen this stinking dump truck???
This child seems to be missing it!!! Oh what is that Joel? It went where??? YOU DID WHAT???
Welcome home from work hunny... he says it is in here! %$$#@$%$ 
Here we go, is it here? Is it there?
Maybe now we will get it. Thank God for friends who call at the exact moment they need to. Jenny ran over in a flash with a cool little hand held snake and sorry Joel... this truck is now MIA
The darn thing is flushed away!
We thought it might come out, but it went down and the potty seems to be flushing like a hot dang now! Adventurous day to say the least! Thank you Mark (my bro in law) for coming and helping, you are such a blessing to us! And thanks Jenny for saving the day with the toilet snake... that beautiful toilet snake!
Night night all!
Mommy Quiz
Here you go mommies - a different kind of survey for a change - it's all about your first born! Let's see how much you remember!
1. WAS YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY PLANNED? Yes and no. We were not apposed to the idea and were not being safe so we figured it would happen sooner or later.
2. WERE YOU MARRIED AT THE TIME? Yes for a whole 2 months!
3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS? I was so excited but was scared to tell Adam, but when I did, he was so happy too.
4. WAS ABORTION AN OPTION FOR YOU? No
5. HOW OLD WERE YOU? 20 when he was born
6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? I had gained a little wait and it was mothers day breakfast at the church and I told my mom that I didn't really know what was up and that most of my pants wouldn't fit anymore and I didn't have money to replace them. She asked if I was late and I said, I don't know, I guess maybe a couple weeks, I never kept track. She said... we are getting you a pregnancy test and that is just what she did. I was trying to wait till Adam got home from work but just needed to know. My sis and I went to Adam's and my trailer and she waited outside the bathroom until I came out all shaky and teary to tell her that I was pregnant. One of the very best days of my life.
7. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST? My sister, then Mom, then Adam as soon as he came home from work. He had flowers in hand and said that because it was mothers day he wanted to tell me that he was so glad that I would one day be the mother of his children. Then I told him. And he was really happy.
8. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX? No
9. DUE DATE? January 13

16. DID YOU HAVE A BABY SHOWER? Yup, the church threw one for me
17. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW? I knew
18. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY?

Things are looking up!
Well, had a rough day, and was feeling pretty down but as the days go on, things are looking up. The kids are being more and more well behaved everyday. Thank God!
On top of that, I have had a lot of fellowship lately and it blesses me so much! So, to top it off, after 5 months of waiting and waiting, we have walls... the drywallers finished today. Then tomorrow the finishing company will be getting our paint, any colour we choose. So I am trying to get some ideas to show to Adam. Then they will paint this week probably. They told me to go and pick my floor! Yay! Soon, so soon! Once I have that picked with the assistance of my hubby, the floor company will install it. We are going to do linolium we are almost sure. It will not be perfect as our floor is not even in the slightest, but it will be the most durable thing for the basement. I am not too worried about the eveness anymore. Just having the floor will be awesome. Then we will get a throw rug. It will be cold floor but that is okay. The kids play down there and can wear slippers if they need to. So, then they will put on the baseboards and we can move our stuff down there! I am so excited. The guy from the finishing company told me today that he expects that everything will be finished within 3 weeks! I can't believe this! Just in time for a relaxing summer! So, I am praying for not much difficulty in the whole thing. There is also a little delema about a wall we didn't get installed in time but our friend/ carpenter says he will be able to do it soon. So I may just need to do some sanding and mudding for that on my own and then buy an extra can of paint to paint it after. I can handle that! Anyway, God's hand of blessing is evidently upon us once again and I am so glad that he never lets us go. I am looking forward to getting the bill from the drywallers for the extra we had done. I just want to get that paid and it will be a load off. We just put in a firewall as our basement didn't have one. It is an extra layer of drywall on the joined walls. It is to bring it up to code but the insurance ony covered to repair the damage so we figured that since we had everything ripped apart anyway, may as well. It will still be basementy of course because we couldn't totally finish it but it will be so much nicer and it will be great to be able to use our space again! There is the update of life.
Have a great day all... and I will be doing that mommy quiz soon. Very soon!

Well, a truly trying day today was. Struggle after struggle. Thank the Lord for a new day tomorrow and His Grace being with me.
Grace
a. Divine love and protection bestowed freely on people.
b. The state of being protected or sanctified by the favor of God.
c. An excellence or power granted by God.
warning: scenes from The Passion of the Christ, the violent parts.
Going tomorrow to have some moles checked out at the doctor for me and Joel. I am a little nervous about it. Say a prayer if you think of me. God bless you all tonight!

Weekend love!
Well, we had a great time! You can't even imagine how nice it was! Holiday's have some kind of magic. Everything just seemed perfect. The kids were quite good for my ma. Just a few sad times at bed time and that was a little hard for me.
Plane was great! What an experience and all the better just sitting next to my love! The hotel had the greatest view and was an end room so we couldn't hear anything or anyone. It was just wonderful to be alone in our little place with no one to bother us. We did so many great things like, horse drawn carriage tour at Stanley park, dinner at the revolving resaurant at Harbour center, we went to the imax, ate out everywhere we wanted including dropping about 80 big ones at the Keg on a scrumpious meal, we did some shopping and visiting with Adam's very hospitable and wonderful grandparents. Overall, I can't even believe what a time we had. Pictures to come. On our way back Adam had a bit of a rough time being cheery because he hadn't slept the last night because he was trying to jam in as much visiting as possible that one night we had with his grandparents. I got 2 hours of sleep. Was funny when the flight attendant asked if we had a nice nap on the flight and I said, Yeah we hadn't slept last night at all. Adam said that that may have seemed like a bit too much information! haha Anyway, both of us slept on the plane and it was so exciting to be the one, for the first time in my life, coming in from the plane and having my babies run to me and slather me with kisses and hugs. I only wish the greatness of this trip didn't have come to an end. But Adam is back to work tomorrow.
I was checking all my regular blogs and on Gwen's she had posted a song by Elton John and it just happened to stir a lot of happy feelings and I thought I would post this, because I love it, and it is just how I feel right now. I want to be the one singing it. This weekend I felt I could be the one being sung to, and I want to dance. All I can say is, thanks so much Adam for showing me a great, romantic, fun, and beautiful time. I couldn't have imagined it any better. I love you!

Carnival fun
I know some don't like the carnival but I happen to LOVE it! It has been something, since I was a child that I anticipated all year and enjoyed every minute of. So we go with our kids, and they love it, too. We always have a first grasp on them as kids stray easily at these things. This year was no exception in fun! We had a great time and what made it better was it was my sister and Blaine's last weekend in town so this was the last really fun thing we got to do with them before they headed out. Here are some pics but of course we also got lots of mini donuts and cotton candy and induldged till our hearts content and our stomachs were nearly sick! haha. Great times, a little cold as always, but great none the less!
Here is Joshua, I won 2 times on this game and then he won 2 times, too. He has inherited that awesomeness of my sister and I and will one day be a master of the roller bowler, also! Virginia and I have always won great prizes here. So anyway, together we won him quite the cutie of a blue lamb. Awesome!
The ducks, the kids each got a little toy here.
There is Joel with his toy, he loves it! And Annabelle's is in her hand there. It is a little strange, a dog that is colored a little like a lady bug.
At the slide the guy was really funny, teasing all the kids and just as Joshua went to measure himself the guy lifted the sign and said, oh, too bad, you're too short. Joshua looked a little concerned and then the guy smiled and let him on. Last year Joshua was really scared on this slide. This year he was so excited but on the way down, some kids come right behind him and kicked him in the head. He was very upset. I hope one year he can have a great time at this one. He really wants to.
Annabelle forgot her mat so she came down the slide so slow. It was funny. The guy let me take her up again but she was unhappy about that because she likes to be independant. So I hope that this slide is a lot better next year.
The monkey, full of fun.
There we are spinning. This is a great ride for the kids because the speed of spinning is controlled by the inside. I love it.
Fishing for prizes. The all won little frogs. It was cool.
The ferris wheel. Annabelle and Joshua went on it this year. Joshua was with Adam. They both had a blast. And Blaine took care of my freezing little monkey.
From the top of the ferris wheel.
Loading the kids on a ride.
And there they go! Joel absolutely loved this!
Joshua really loved riding this guy. Cute!

Books and Bannock
Well, first of all I must say I just had to document that I wink at my kiddos so much that they have all learned to wink back. I love it. The boys are the cutest. I will tell them I love them and they will wink and say I love you too mom. What little flirts. I love being their favourite girl. The other day Joshua was playing with a little girl at church and he told me after that she is a really nice girl and he likes her a lot. I must admit that it made me a little jealous. I am supposed to be the favourite for a long while. Anyway, here is Joel, giving me a wink.
So we went to Books and Bannock last week and it has quickly become one of the kids favourite things. They hear stories, have snacks, do crafts and afterward we play at the park. Here are a few pics and this tube thing actually works! I was amazed. And you can hear the person even if they wisper into it. Very cool.
Me telling secrets, hehe
Story time
Joel after climbing the big hill. Very proud.

The holiday... or as Gwen would say, shagfest in Vancouver! hahaha
It is official that we will have a small romantic gettaway, paid primarily through airmiles, and I can't fricken believe it! We are going to Vancouver and although it is hard to believe, it will be my first time on an airplane! So there is a little nervousness mixed with the excitement but mostly all excitement. We will be flying down, 2 nights in a hotel and just relaxing as much as we can in 3 days. The last night we are probably going to stay at Adam's Grandma's house and come back the next morning. So, as this is our first trip away together and will be my first time away from the kids for more than a night, I am pretty stoked. It may seem like not long to some but this is a big deal for me of course and it will prepare me for more travelling in the future.
God bless to you all!
Heading to the carnival tonight. The kids can't wait!

New blogger!!!
Yippee, she finally did it! My sis made a blog!!! Here it is! So check it out and comment often. Hope she keeps it up as she is heading out of town and I will miss her so much. This will be great to keep in touch. Love you Virgie!!!
Update
Well, today I have found out the great news that maybe we can lay some flooring in the basement soon. ASAP in my thinking, but we will see what happens. The problem with the cracks will cost about $100,000 for the Strata to fix so instead they have decided to do a "hope hope hope" fix. Hard to explain but, I am feeling good that at least if we have any problem with it again it will be up to the Strata to fix it for us. So, I just can't even wait!!!
We got our couch and the kitchen set for the kids yesterday. The couch looks nice. I think I am going to be really happy with it. I would take a pic but I am leaving it in the wrap until we have floor and walls down there. So, our house is officialy too full for comfort! It has been for a while but now the kitchen set through it over the edge. I am ready to be done with this. Yippee, we are on our way!
The new news is that Adam and I are in the midst of planning a little trip for the 2 of us. I am getting concerned though because we were going to do it on airmiles but we have not finalized anything yet and we are running out of time to get the tickets. More to come on this topic as we get some final plans made.
I need to make lunch for the monkeys so I need to go. God bless you all!

School
Well, I had forgotten to mention, for those who don't know yet, we got Joshua all registered for school! I am so excited that he will go this fall! But, the price is a bit steep, even with the 50% off that they give us for the first year. I dreamed last night for about 3 hours of my decition to take him out and put him in public school. In my dream he was devistated and crying because he wasn't going to school with his friends and he was so scared and he wouldn't learn about God in the other school. It was so hard to see, even in a dream, my little man's heart broken. Anyway, this was only a dream, but the reality is, I guess I am nervous and it is showing up in my dreams, as to how we will find the money to do this, even though we know we have to. So I need to dwell on this
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Luke 12:22-31
I will not have a doubtful mind. I know that God is the one who wants this for our children and we need to remember that He will make sure we have enough. And we did get a pretty good income tax return, Thank God for that, and we are using some of that to pay about half the tuition in advance. Can you all pray for me when you think of this, for peace of mind and provisions. I would greatly appreciate knowing that others are thinking of us. I find that consciously I know that we will be fine, but subconsciously my silly fears come out in my dreams. They are silly, because it is not a huge number that we have to come up with but I just know that we have to, I don't want to back out.
Just my thoughts for the day. Hope all of your day is blessed by God. Relax, and don't worry!

I will not have a doubtful mind. I know that God is the one who wants this for our children and we need to remember that He will make sure we have enough. And we did get a pretty good income tax return, Thank God for that, and we are using some of that to pay about half the tuition in advance. Can you all pray for me when you think of this, for peace of mind and provisions. I would greatly appreciate knowing that others are thinking of us. I find that consciously I know that we will be fine, but subconsciously my silly fears come out in my dreams. They are silly, because it is not a huge number that we have to come up with but I just know that we have to, I don't want to back out.
Just my thoughts for the day. Hope all of your day is blessed by God. Relax, and don't worry!

The appliances from God!
It is just a reasonably simple set but brand new! And the sink too! I am so happy to have them, it is a joy like I never imagined to be able to do my laundry! Thanks to my mom's help, I didn't have to go to a laundramat while we waited but it is still so nice just to go in my own basement and do the laundry.
Deep freeze. I love it!
Nothing in it yet but I will be going shopping and stocking up this weekend. I can't wait! And we can feel free to catch lots of fish again okay Adam?!? hahaha, as if he need permission.
The box for the kids, I will make them a house that they can paint soon! They are fort kids for sure!
And an overall look at the, not so much progress. Yes, that plastic is all that goes between our place and our neighbor's house. Not cool! I am praying for the rest to go quicker than it has so far. God bless you all and have a great night. Oh yeah, and of course... the Canucks did it and I am so glad. We move on!!!Head shaving!
