14. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.
15. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says, "Dam!"
16. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Not surprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
17. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel, and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office, and asked them to disperse.

18. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt , and is named 'Ahmal.' The other goes to a family in Spain, they name him 'Juan.'

Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
19. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet.

At some point I've become just like my father...it's a good thing(:
I woke up this morning and it was like any other Saturday morning. I made my coffee, had a bowl of cereal. Sean is watching the fishing shows until he heads off to work. I think to myself...I've got so much to do today. Laundry, cleaning, weeding the gardens- this list goes on. Then I think to myself, I wonder what is on TV. I turn it on and the weather network comes up. Then I decide that I want to watch the news. Me?? Watching the news??? On a Saturday morning??? Yes, I watched the news until 10am. I found it interesting. How weird is that? I think I am becoming just like my father. Already I grocery shop like him. If I buy beer, I pick his brand because it tastes good and is less expensive than the other kinds of beer. My dad has taught me well. I learned how to budget from him and how to save money. So being like my dad is a good thing. Plus now that he is older and retired, he isn't so grumpy as I remember him when I was growing up. Hopefully my kids don't think I'm grumpy.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Have a great weekend everyone!

It's the end of the school year
I can't believe that the school year is over and both my kids did really well in school this year. I am very proud of them both and extra proud of Mike for keeping up with his school work this year, he made the effort honour roll(: This is the 1st year since he started school that he has had perfect attendance. Praise God he didn't have to go to the hospital this year! Kels picked up her report card on Friday and then went to her dad's, so I actually haven't seen her marks yet, but she always does great. Now the kids are gone until August. It's going to be a quiet month for us. Crystal is coming for a visit the last 2 weekends in July. Hopefully we get to take her camping and fishing. She will be starting kindergarten in September and is going to Cataline, so now we are starting over in elementary. Both my kids will be in high school in the fall. My how time flies!
Mike had a year end party Thursday at Chelsea's house. They had a BBQ, lots of junk food and huge water fights.I bought Mike a new super soaker water gun. They had a blast. The boys were allowed to stay until midnight. Then Mike went over to his friend Billy's for a sleep over. They ate too much junk food and got sick, but apparently felt better after eating an energy drink. But then they couldn't sleep. Go figure! I picked up Mike on my lunch break and brought him home so that he could get packed and go to his Dad's place. He looked pretty tired, but said he was feeling much better. They had a blast and I'm glad he went. He usually doesn't go for sleepovers, so that was good(:
Have a wonderful summer everyone. Hopefully I'll see most of you on our holidays at then end of August!

Cataline students share digs with a mummy
Shantel Hollett, Hayley Johnson, Madisen Gaylord, Briana Mundeling, and Ryleigh Barta experience what it might be like to participate in an archaeological dig at an exhibit in the Vancouver Museum.
Two classes from Cataline Elementary School travelled to Vancouver May 27-29 to participate in the curriculum-based programs at the Vancouver Aquarium and the Vancouver Museum.
At the aquarium the students studied a variety of ecosystems, focusing on the Arctic region.
The highlight here was certainly the night spent sleeping with the belugas.
Twenty year old Aurora was pregnant and volunteers were on a 24-hour watch waiting for the imminent arrival of her calf, who has since been born.
The next day was spent exploring Stanley Park. Students walked portions of the seawall to locate the Girl in a Wetsuit statue, the lighthouse at Brockton Point, the Nine O’Clock Gun, and the totem poles.
The group was also invited to visit the Miniature Railways and the Children’s Farmyard.
Late in the afternoon the group headed over to Vanier Park to prepare for the museum visit. There they participated in the Night of the Mummy program.
This included an excavation activity, mummification discussion, and a flashlight treasure hunt.
Students were given the opportunity to sleep in the room with Panechates, the mummy of a 10-year-old boy.
Memories of this amazing adventure will stay with these students for a very long time. Compliments were received from both venues. Williams Lake should be proud of these young ambassadors.
The trip was made possible with financial help from several local businesses.

Mega May Weekend
Kelsey made sno cones.
What a fantastic weekend! The weather was just perfect! Last night we went to the Stampede grounds to see a drive in movie put on by the Laker's Car club with proceeds to the Child Development Center. It was a huge blow up screen and we listened to the movie on the FM radio in the truck. We had to wait until it was dark, so we never made it home until after midnight. It was fun. The movie was American Graphitti.
Today we enjoyed the best of both worlds. Sean went to the car show and I didn't get dragged along because I went to the children's festival with my kids and Crystal. We haven't been to this festival in years because my kids are too old to go (apparently). If I went with no kids people might find that a bit creepy. So at any rate we both were able to do what we love to do. Crystal had a blast and we all met up for a late lunch before heading home. Here's a few pictures of Crystal and what she had painted on her face. It's a green butterfly and a pink shooting star.
