Merry Christmas to you!

Now that we are settled in our new home I need to be way better at posting on my blog.
I will start with this family picture. This was taken in Waterton Park on Christmas Day. We met up with my sister's family and had a great time tobagganing. It was a very snowy day with the snow falling as we raced down the hill. I had heard that last year at this time people were actually hiking in Waterton Park because the weather was just that nice. You just never know!

Happy Birthday Seth!

Today is Seth's 14th birthday!! It's very exciting. He has had a great weekend with Trick or Treating on Friday, moving furniture on Saturday morning and then that night had a bunch of friends over for his birthday. He has known these kids since Kindergarten so it was nice to have them over one last time before we move. He has chosen for his birthday dinner: Pancakes (thank you Jo-Ann, it's your recipe!), eggs, O.J., fruit salad and sausages (actually I added the last 2 items on the menu because we are having the missionaries over too)!

Moving

Here are a few pictures of the boys helping Chris this morning. They were a big help. Chris leaves tomorrow with the loaded trailer and then will return on Thursday with an even bigger trailer. Bet the boys are gonna love that!!

My boys are funny!

The first picture is a note that Caleb wrote for Seth!
The second picture is a note that Seth wrote to Caleb!

Halloween

Seth and his friend Darian last night just before going Trick or Treating and then on to a party. He is a great friend to Seth. He will be missed!

WE SOLD and WE BOUGHT!!

We sold our home 12 days ago and we bought a home in Lethbridge,ALberta just about an hour ago! We were going to put in an offer this morning when our agent called Chris and left a message saying that the people had dropped the price of the house again! Can you EVEN believe that? So we saved even more! Here are some pictures of our new place. We get posession (how in the world do you spell that word? David? Daddy?) on the 28th of November.

Birthdays, Bird and 2 kids=Random Post

Celebrating Chris and Kelly's Birthdays together this year!
CHris is 49 and Kelly is 19!!

Chris went hunting today with his hunting buddy friend Don and came home with a Pheasant!! Isn't it pretty? I am sure we will be eating that bird tomorrow for dinner.
Kelly and Seth just before we went out for a Birthday dinner to Boston Pizza.

Seth's Pizza!!

Here is Seth styling his new pizza in assorted flavors. Ham and Cheese. Made it himself! The other pizza you see is spinach/turkey sausage. All eaten with a diet Pepsi. In this house, you don't eat mexican food or pizza with anything but a pop! It's an Eagan rule.

Raspberries from my garden. Right next to my Potatoes.

This is what I did with part of my morning today. I made a batch of Raspberry muffins and a jar (it's all the berries I had) of Raspberry spread. Seth will be a very happy boy because he really likes raspberries this year. Raspberry Crystal Light, Raspberry Mini Wheat cereal and Raspberry smoothies.

Look at em'?

I thought I would go out to our garden yesterday and check out the potatoes. I was so surprised by what I found. Potatoes! Real potatoes! I got all sorts of different sizes. It was very exciting for me.

This is kind of a goofy looking picture. "Posing" by potatoes? Seth wasn't very excited to even come out and take this picture so I just went with it. I felt very "Fall-like" in my old orange t-shirt though. It matches the leaves on the trees....well almost. I gave some potatoes to the neighbors and then cooked some up last night and they were sure good!
