This weekend is Thanksgiving for us up in the great white north. Yes back in the day the Indians and the Eskimos stopped playing hockey long enough to enjoy a Turkey dinner with some maple syrup! Here is one of my favorite Thanksgiving songs(Is there many??)

Insert Title Here

Today was a beautiful day 22º(that's 72º for my American friends) My family went hiking and I finally got to take some pictures!!!! I haven't picked up my camera in months. I have been so busy with my 2 jobs, and working at the kids school as well that I haven't had any time, it was really bothering me because photography is my passion and I was just to busy or to tired to even pick up my camera. With the changing of seasons, the leaves are just starting to fall and are the most amazing colours, I just love this time of year.




Here is a few shots of the kiddies




I do get a break from all the crazy soon! In 17 days, one of my best friends and I(and the hubbies) are heading to Vegas for 4 days!!!

Before I leave I wanted to share a link to another blog. This girl and I went to high school together and recently became friends on facebook. She shared a post she had written the other day and it really surprised me. She had written about an event that had happened in high school that I don't really remember but had stuck with her(for obvious reasons) It just goes to show you that even small things you do can affect people whether it be good or bad. So go check out her blog,Seasons of Life she is an amazing writer who writes from the heart.
I'm going to try to post for random Tuesday because it has been wayyyyyyy to long!

True Story and Oh So Funny!!

I have an extremely funny story for you, seriously, it will make you laugh. Feel free to tell others, they will laugh.....

A friend of mine works with disabled adults like I do, the other day she told me a story about her client and I had to share, because honestly I don't think I have laughed that hard in a long time!!!
Her client needs 24hr care, which is split into three 8 hr shifts. The young man is allowed to be left alone for 3 hours a day, so each shift gets an hour break. While my friend was on her break she received a phone call from her client. He was very excited and told her that he had caught a Hobbit (I'm sure most people know what a hobbit is, if for some reason you don't, it's the little dwarf like people from Lord Of The Rings) anyways he was hollering and very happy about finding a Hobbit!
So she was a little concerned and decided to head home. When she arrived back at the house he was in the doorway jumping up and down rubbing his hands together squealing "I caught a Hobbit! I caught a Hobbit!"
She followed him down the hallway to a closet door......wait for it.......
He opened the door and inside was a very terrified midget!!! I kid you not!
It was a Jehovah witness, that happened to be a midget, that had come to the door. Her client had seen the man, figuring he was a hobbit and dragged him down the hallways and locked him in a closet. After the police were called the man said he would not press charges, the police officer was trying his hardest not to laugh, as the young man kept jumping up and down waving at the midget yelling "Hi Hobbit" and "That's my Hobbit"

A weekend at the lake

This past weekend my family went to the lake. The weather was beautiful!!! (see picture below)



After we got the boat all covered and ran for cover the rain slowed a little. Luckily we had a cabin for the weekend because the weather pretty much stayed the same.

When there was a break in the clouds my husband and a friend of ours took the boys out in the boat. The lake was extremely shallow. At one point the depth finder went from 12 feet to 1 foot in a matter of seconds, sadly not long enough to raise the prop. So you ask, what happens when the lake is only one foot deep and did I mention there was a large boulder on the bottom.......(see picture below)



Thankfully we had another prop. After the boating incident my hubby was getting something from the truck, before locking the truck he checked his pocket. yup keys are there, so he locked the truck up. DOH! that would be the boat keys in his pocket, now we were locked out of the truck. (See picture below)



Eventually we did see the sun, so we went out for another boat ride, carefully this time. Here is a cool shot of the lake I got.



Just when I thought nothing else bad could happen.... I got stung in the face by a wasp! Nice! (No picture)

All and all it was an eventful trip, it wasn't all bad though, we were there with great friends and made the best of our rainy weekend. Here are a few other shots I got.










I'm really going to try harder to start blogging more often, I am going to start tomorrow by going to visit everyones blogs and see what you have all been up to.

wow, it's been awhile!

Wow, I give credit to the people that can blog all the time....How do you find the time!!!
Summer is already half over and moving fast!! I started another job 2 weeks ago, so I have been keeping busy. I work 2-3 days a week with a diabled gentelman, then I have my regular job evenings and occasional weekends looking after 2 disabled ladies. It has been keeping me crazy busy. This is the first time since my children were born that I needed daycare.
We also bought a boat this summer. It's a 1992 19.5 foot Bayliner classic. We have been having an amazing time on the boat!!

Right now there is alot of forest fires here in BC. Several are around the city I live in. Outisde you can barely see the mountains because of all the smoke. For the last few weeks it has been between 30-37 everyday (That's 87-100 degrees Fahrenheit for my American friends) We had a small amount of rain yesterday for the first time in over a month, of course it came with thunder and lightning which doesn't help at all.
