Trouble commenting on your blogs...

I seem to be having trouble posting comments on some blogs, some blogs I don't have any trouble at all, I'm not sure what the problem is. But I assure you that I am reading all your blogs, I have left comments on facebook for those that have links. I would appreciate any help or input, thanks.


I've checked everwhere for help......

It was fun while it lasted!

My boys were finally home for a while. Anthony on the left has been home since April 17th and left yesterday. Ethan holding his nephew came home May 4th and left May 28th. Anthony was home for Landen's first Easter and Mother's Day. They were both here for my fathers 70th birthday. It was so great having them home, now it is back to missing they everyday! Ethan's girlfriend took him to the airport last week, which was easier on me....
yesterday we took Anthony which was easier on his girlfriend and baby!

We stayed to watch him take flight!

Till next time.......

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

A little sunshine!

We are having a very cool Spring, so I brought Spring in the house. I bought this little flower for Easter and will plant it out side later.

Happy Spring and early Easter!!

First glimpse of Spring!

The last of our snow left last week, and out popped my crocuses and daffodiles !

I see I must get my fences fixed up to keep my "gardeners" out !

Happy Spring !!

A new adventure.

On Wednesday our only children set out on an adventure. After both securing jobs in different areas of Alberta last week, they packed up what gear they would need and flew out. They left home at 5:30am and boarded their flight at 9:00am. They landed in Toronto and then on to Calgary and on to Edmonton. And after lots of delays, finally made it to their destinations after midnight ( which would have been after 3am our time), they had quite a time. Neither boy had flown before, we sent them with someone they knew, who was going where our oldest went.

Ethan went to a small town called Fox Creek where he will be trucking for an oil company. He is the baby at only 17, he enjoys an adventure, last fall he spent 15 days on a scallop dragger, was sick most of the time, so figured he'd stay on solid ground.

Anthony, 21, spent a year looking for a job, unfortunately he found one on the other side of the country. After his courses are finished he wants to go to a camp at an oil rig where they work so many days and get some off, so he can come home to see Landen. Can not believe that Landen will be 4 months on the 29 th, except there is no 29 in February.

Heard from them last night and they arrived safely. We are waiting for photos of their adventures, and shall travel through their eyes. Missing our boys!!

Brrr.....chilly!!

This was taken yesterday, one of the coldest mornings, -19*C......brrr!
Our youngest son took a MED (marine emergency duties) course this week.
It was snowing, the harbor was frozen, it was just nasty. Brrrr..

The ducks were sitting on ice from where the salmon farm boats had left earlier....brrrr!

The final test for their course was to practice what they had learned. Brrr...

On your mark....

Get set.......

GO!

Brrrr

Ethan is 3rd from left, holding a thick piece of ice.

He said it wasn't too cold, only his face was instantly numb from going under water. Brrr!

Where it was so cold they didn't keep them in the water too long, and also didn't bring out the life raft, personally I think they should have gotten the full effect. But I wasn't in the water....brrrr!

I am proud of him!!!

Landen is 3 months old...

I can not believe that Landen is 3 months old, he is so cute! He doesn't smile for me yet but he sure has smiles for his Daddy!

Major is settled in nicely, sure likes to play in the snow. He also likes to chase kitties and bark at them! They just have to learn not to run, to stand their ground and use their sharps (finger teeth) maybe he wouldn't want to play as often....maybe!
