Family Pics!!!

So, we finally got our family pictures done. I have been trying to do this for only about a year!! We got them done by my friend Kaylee Ralph. She is so good!! Tons of really good ideas, and great with the kids. I totally recommend her. It was so fun to get them done. So those are some of my favorites.

Help!!!!!

How do I get this stupid photobucket box thing out of my blog? Does it come up when you read my blog?

Terry Fox Run!!

So, lately I have been a little into running. I wake up at 6:30 and go on a run before Chad has to go to school, and before the kids wake up. It makes my day go by way smoother. I have been getting a little addicted to it. Any of you runners would be able to testify to that!! So anyway, the Cardston Terry Fox Run was put on by my cousin. She is a wonderful person, who lost her husband almost 2 years ago, to cancer. A bunch of the family try to go in it every year, and this was my first year. I loved it!! It was nice to go participate and help with the fight against such a horrible disease. I have had numerous people that are close to me have cancer, and a few who have died from it, so it kinda hits close to home. It was great to see such an awesome support for the Cardston race. It was fun to be able to spend time with my cousins, and catch up!! Oh, and at the end of it, Aunt Patti fed us the best hamburgers smothered in some sort of sweet sauce, squished between her homemade buns!! To Die For!!!!! And homemade lemon cake with super yummy icing for dessert!! We love you Aunt Patti!! I am excited to be able to do this race again next year. Although I do hope for some nicer weather. I would have to say that I was absolutely FREEZING! The pictures will show. Oh ya, and as for the way I look, just remember the circumstance, please!

Fews Flash!!

Hey Everybody.......

Did you guys know that at the end of your post there is a place where people can put comments about what you wrote?!!!!(I'm kidding) Apparently I did not, but now I do, and I read peoples comments dated back to a year ago!! I know, I'm slightly retarded, but I really did not know!! So, thank-you to everyone who has commented, and if you asked questions, I'm sorry but I will not answer them, because you probably wouldn't remember them anyway!! So, please keep commenting, I will read them, and I will comment back, I promise. You'll all just have to bear with me!!!

Flipped Around!!??!!

So, i know i'm not a very good blogger. I do have good intentions, really, but life is busy and I feel guilty when I'm on the computer. It seems like such a waste of time!! But I enjoy it, and i know its important to journal, so heres another crack at it.

My life right now is.....wierd, crazy, a little scary, exciting, and hectic. Let me explain.

So we (Chad and I) have decided that the best thing for our family is for Chad to go to school. So, he is doing upgrading in Lethbridge at the college, and then going to Sait in Calgary next year. We decided to put our house on the market to see if it would sell, and guess what.......it sold in 2 weeks!!! Crazy!! We had to move out quick so our August was a whirlwind of packing, cleaning, moving, and going crazy amongst it all. Chad can not stand the thought of paying someone else's mortgage, which I can understand, so renting a house was not an option for us. So to solve that problem we decided to look for a house to buy. And the pics above are what we found!!! We wanted to keep it cheap, so our options were few. It is small and old but we see some potential. I have to admit, I do get a little tiny bit depressed each time I go over there, but with some positive thinking I quickly get excited again. The previous owner was a smoker, so really, thats the biggest issue. As soon as I walk in the house I feel like I am surrounded by 8 people blowing smoke into my face, but you get used to it after a while, hehe!! With some help from numerous coats of kilz primer, then some texturing, then some more coats of primer, and a coat of color, the smell will no longer be an issue. Then some new flooring and lights will make it nice and cozy!!!! I hope we can get cracking on these things, hopefully to be in by Thanksgiving!! But who really knows, no one is ever done by there estimated date, honestly!!!

So, you'll have to wait and see how it turns out!! I am so very excited, I will post when we are all done. And I'm sure you'll get some updates along the way!! Although with my past blogging record.......you might see by next year!
