Well...we are madly trying to get ready to head off to Florida! But ready or not we will not miss that plane! The girls are so excited....they cannot wait! They cannot wait to see their friends and our favorite places and especially to go on a cruise! We are all ready for some rest and relaxation and some fun together!!! We are leaving with a forecast of snow and hope that by the time we get back spring will have arrived in Calgary!!!BON VOYAGE!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!!

Its Mike's Birthday!! But poor guy...has to work! He'll be wizzing around the ICU looking after 25+ patients and hardly have time to breathe...let alone enjoy his birthday! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope your day is great!!!

Thank You Auntie Christine!!!

A Big Thank you to Auntie Christine!!! She volunteered to come babysit one night and last night we desperately needed her as Mike and I had a hot date!! Ok...well not so hot...we went to an exciting billing seminar! But we both really needed to go and Christine was so great to come watch the girls for us! It is a long way for her to come and we appreciated her thoughtfulness so much!! The girls had a ball, I just hope they didnt overwhelm Christine! Thanks so much Christine!!


This is a picture of all the little nieces and one nephew welcoming Auntie Christine into the family. They sang 'Getting to Know You' and did a fun dance at the wedding! Christine was adorable in the middle with all the kids around her!

Skiing Big Mountain Montana

Mike had a weekend off...so we headed to the cabin in Montana. We took the girls to Big Mountain and had our best ski day yet. It was perfect! Best of all the sun was out and it was WARM...my kind of ski day! The girls found a path thru the trees with jumps and turns and bumps. They loved it...we would all go down in a chain! Paige would yell WEEE WEEEE all the way down! It was one of those days you would not trade for anything! Priceless!

Framing is Almost Done!!!!

The house is almost done!! It is so fun to see it nearing completion (well...the framing stage anyway)! They should be adding finishing touches today and installing windows and doors!! I am winding down on the interior selections and after months of deliberation and decisions...I can only hope and cross my fingers that it all comes together ok. The other day I chose a paint color from a tiny 2" square and told them to paint my whole house that color! How scary is that??? We have a possession date of MID-JULY!! We are just so excited! This date works out great because we are being kicked out of our place in July so we are hoping that the timing works out. I guess if it doesnt...we will pitch a tent outside till they let us in!!

PS I added a few more pics to the slideshow.
