4. I dont like centipedes and milipedes the gross me out
5. When I was in elementary school I used to walk home. I had this thing that if I stepped on a crack in the sidewalk I would be in another dimension so I would have to go back and step on it again to get back in my own. I knew it that it did not actualy happen but I still felt the need to go back anyway.
6. I think I have borderline obsessive compulsive tendensies. I have to check the stove a million times before I leave the house to make sure I did not leave a burner on. I often run back and make sure I locked the door.

10. I like to talk on the phone too much.
11. I like having people around me I work better with other people around.
12. When I was a kid I asked a blind lady if someone punched her lights out. I think it was at temple square in Salt Lake City. I dont think I was trying to be rude or flippant but I dont know why I asked.
13. I once met a guy who had a crocodile or a cayman or something in his basement.
14. I repeat myself a lot especially when I have good news.

18. I like the smell of a new babies breath
19. I took a year of university and spent too much time playing pool.
20. I dont like driving by myself at night.
21. When I eat a piece of pie I always take a bite or two of the point then eat the back end with the crust then finish the pie that way you start and end with the best part.
22. I once left a grilled cheese sandwich in the sandwich maker for a few hours. Then I unplugged it and put it away. I did not realize till like a month later that I had completley charred a sandwich.
23. When I was much younger I did a similar thing with a pot of perogies. mind you they were not left undiscoverd for a month.

duh!

So the other night I was out with some friends and I noticed that Lara had a blue stone on her engagement ring. A saphire. I asked her about it being the curious person that I am. She went on to explain how her husband had decided on the saphire and how he totaly suprised her when he asked her to marry him. I sat entranced in the story right up until the point when I asked her.

"Did you say yes?"

They laughed at me

2006

Good year for everyone. I was trying to think of an amazing poetic post to end the year with. But that is not easily forthcoming so I will briefly recap events for everyone in the family.

Jon

Jon finished his two years at Grant Macewan with an accounting diploma. He began working for Canada Revenue training as an auditor. He is enjoying his job and really getting into the swing of it. He continued getting into dragon boating this year and Joined a new team that took him to a couple of new meets including one in Sylvan lake and one in Kewlona.

Breanna

Breanna turned four this year and got out of diapers (yay yay yay) she is going to preschool at the ymca and loves it. She is excitedly looking forward to kindergarten next year.

Ryan

Ryan turned two. He has decided that talking may be a cool thing to do after all. He is still learning to form his words properly but that does not stop him from trying! We took him to a pediatric opthamologist because of a crossed eye and he got glasses due to farsightedness.

Skyler.

Skyler was born Oct 14 and has just in the last few days really learned to smile and those are huge things for a baby!

Me

Well at the beginning of the year I was still working part time as a cashier but that ended in march I think. I was pregnant for a while but not anymore :) I took a photography class in the fall and I loved everysecond of it and am still enjoying taking photographs. I feel I have found a creative outlet that I can relate to.

We are excited for 2007 and the changes and growth it will bring so we shall se where we are in another year!!!!

Ryans New Look

New Life

This is a sweet potato that began to sprout in my cubboard. I left it to grow because I thought it could make a really cool picture.

Kid Logic

Breanna: Mom can we make these right now (holding the rice krispies)

Me: No we will make them later

Breanna: Can I have a marshmallow?

Me: No not right now

Breanna: Can we make them right now if you let me have a marshmallow?


How does this work does any one else understand this?

FYI

Skyler will be blessed this sunday and we will be having a lunch at our home after. We will be providing BBQ beef on a bun, with a potluck salad Idea.

Hating the weather

Loving This

Responsibility

Breanna: Dad you need to push us in the swing

Dad: Why?

Breanna: Because that's what parents do for their kids!

Later on the swing

Breanna: Your doing it dad! Your doing what parents do for their kids!!

What is missing here?

This picture was taken on our way home from Lethbridge.

Things My Kids Have Eaten This Morning

• Fruit to go that I had on my desk that I forgot about
• Sunny D that they had left over from the trip home yesterday
• Bannana Bread that I had made before we left on the trip (mmm still yummy)
• Pringles left over from the trip home
  

Nice healthy breakfast huh. (lazy mom)

Number of times they have watched Veggie Tales: Dave and the Giant Pickle?
2 and counting.

Handy Hubby

So we are in lethbridge for the weekend. The kids are loving being with grandma and grandpa. And the aunties are especially loving being with the new baby. IT has been fun especially since the car decided to have issues once we got here. We are very grateful that it waited till lethbrige and did not decide to go when we got on the road.

Last night Jon and I were coming back from seeing "The Prestige" (excelent movie by the way) when the the power steering went and the battery light came on. We made it back to Jon's parents and he managed to steer the van into the driveway. As he looked under the hood he discoverd that the tension pulley had gone. It is a pulley that provides tension on the belt that drives the alternator, the water pump, the power sterring and some other important things. Basically with out it we would have ended up stuck on the side of the highway.

Thankfully It is something that Jon can fix by himself. Yay! He has saved us so much money on mechanic expenses since we got married. He has already got the replacement pulley we just need to get a bolt to replace the one that Jon had to cut when he was taking the pulley off which is a story in itself. Anyway hopefull we can get the bolt tomorow and get the car back together and get home tomorow as planned!!

So I hope everyone is having a good weekend in edmonton. And hopefully we will be home tomorow!
