Sunday fun

It was great to get some fresh air yesterday. We went 4x4ing along the creek and my hubby scared the hell out of me. Mike and his friend thought that was awesome. I guess I am getting old because that's all we wanted to do when we were teens. He took us up the the Ashtray, which is a big cliff area that looks down hundreds of feet to the River below. On our trails we came across a few pieces of fire wood here and there, so we put them in the truck. This 4x4ing trip reminded me of the commercial on TV about the couple buying a Hummer, she wants the mopar accessories and he wants the free gas....to go mucking around.(see picture on the left) After we were done 4x4ing, the sun was still shining, so we decided to go for a walk along the River Valley Trails. That is more of what I enjoy. The boys had their slurpies I bought them and we all enjoyed the walk. After that and because we found some good fire wood, we went home and roasted hot dogs over the fire and toasted marshmallows. We jumped on the trampoline and threw the baseball around to Mike to get him practiced up for baseball tomorrow. It was a great day of Sunday fun.

Sunny Sunny Sunday

I am very happy with the weather this weekend. Today is another sunny day. My kids had their friends sleep over last night and it was a lot of fun for them. They set up the trampoline and bounced on it for hours. I enjoy bouncing on the trampoline when no one else is on it, otherwise they bounce me til I feel ill. We were all up early this morning because my daughter's friend was getting picked up at 8:30 am. Her mom was taking them to Quesnel because her brother has LaCrosse there. We all enjoyed pankcakes for break fast. We will be heading to the ball diamonds to get them in shape for Tuesday's first practice. Mike and his friend are coming up to the ball fields to help in hopes that they get to try out the batting cage. It will be good practice for them. It's hard to belive that April is almost over. My friend is getting married in less than 2 weeks. Hope everyone enjoys a Sunny Sunday. Kels asked me to put this picture on my blog of the real Peter Griffin. Too funny!

My Friend's engagement announcement

This is Robin and Darrel when they were at my wedding in 2005.
Robin was my maid of honor. We had a great time that weekend at the Hills.
I am looking forward to her wedding at Loon Lake. I will be a blast.

Poplar Glade School is completely gone

Late Breaking News in Williams Lake

What a crazy news day. This morning there was a chlorine leak near Scout Island (Williams Lake) and the hazz mat team was called in. Everyone who lives or works along the lake were evacuated. So, my hubby was sent away from work, because Winsor Plywood is located near the lake. All the displaced people were sent to the Gibralter room in the complex. The chlorine leak is now under control. Shortly after the news about the chlorine, we had a call in that Poplar Glade Elementary School was on fire. They believe the fire was started in the wiring. The school cannot be salvaged. The students were safely transported to the gym of the high school near by (Columneetza). Apparently there are some hot spots flaring up, so the areas near Poplar Glade are now being evacuated. Plus it is very windy right now and that is not helping matters either. I am sure you will see it on tonight's news (Global and CTV). Also check out www.wltribune.com for more info.

Kitchen update

Sean worked a bit on the kitchen yesterday and put up 80% of the walls and put in my new light fixture over the sink. We need to put up the moldings and paint tonight if there is time...no Hockey game tonight! Yay! Hopefully this weekend we can get the kitchen totally completed. Sean replaced all the electrical in the living room and kitchen, so I was very happy with that. It's coming along quite nicely. Soon I will post the before and after pictures on my web album for you all to see. I would love to get the laundry room done this weekend so that the spare room can be put back in order. Then, I can finally feel good about having company over for a visit. The visit might have to wait until after my friend's wedding and the May Long Weekend (Sean is working all that weekend). By then, we will be working on getting the holiday trailer in shape. We are going to paint and put in new flooring before we take it out this summer. We've owned the holiday trailer for almost 3 years now and it hasn't left the driveway. I'm looking forward to camping for a week this summer!
