I wanted to share some picutres of the flowers growing in our garden. These are just a couple of the examples that a blooming so beautifully.
We will take a complete picture of our flowers in the middle of the summer when our bed looks a little better.
We really want to thank everyone for everything that special day. We are so bless that we were able to have you all hear with us.

Gentleness
Destiny was one of 7 kids in her school to receive an award.
She received her award for her Gentleness towards others.
It was a nice ceremony at school, and our friend Jayse won the award for "Self Control".
I am very proud of both of them.

Family and Friends

Hello, I am back from planning, prepairing and cleaning up after our "family and friends" party. We had a absolute blast last weekend and I can't wait to see everyones photos. i was so busy running around I didn't get really any pictures of the event. If you have photos will you please let me know so I can get a copy of them.
I had a ton of help and a lot of people brought food. I didn't even get a picture of the mounds of food that we had. Thanks to everyone and a special thanks to Maureen my sister in law for all the hard work the day of the party cutting and prepairing food and getting everything out. I really felt blessed to have her here.
It was good to have all our family come from Saskatchewan for the weekend.

Jim's family all made it as well except his sister. I am sure we will catch up again this summer.

Getting Ready.

JUMPing for JOY
I have spent two sleepless nights getting ready in my mind for our family party.
I can't wait to have all my family here. It is coming fast and I have just got a couple of things to finish and then, just the decorating .. which are going to be simple. Bright colors is simply my theme. Orange is the color of choice.

I have set up our gazeboo I bought at the end of the season last year. Jason, Tanya, and Stacey helped.
I hope to have some activities for the kids and the adults will entertain themselves I am sure.
I will post pictures of the whole event.

Our basement is getting closer to completion. I Finished the floor yesterday, Jim and I finished the baseboards last night. Just have to do some trim in the play room and paint the doors do some final cleaning and hook up the TV.. and we are done.....It has been a long time coming but I can see the end in sight.
Baseball was cancelled due to rain last night. what a relief! Jim is helping coach and have one extra night at home has made a difference due to the fact he is leaving today for a 3 day rodeo excursion.

The Birthday Purse
the birthday ring
We each got a spa service at a spa in Okotoks. It is alway fun to do something like that at a spa away from work. We were not totally impressed but enjoyed the time together and learned that Bangles is still the place to go..!!
