Magic School Bus

In June our local schools offer a Magic School bus ride. The kids get on a bus at the school that they will be attending kindergarten at and then travel around to different places in the community and get goodies along the way. The parents get little lessons as we went along, too, on how to give our kids the best start to school that we can. It was a fun morning. This years theme was animals and here is a picture of Vincent in his fish hat.

Nursery School Mother's Day Tea

In May Vincent's nursery school class had a Mother's Day program and tea.

Vincent actually WENT to soccer camp this year

Last year Vincent didn't do so good at soccer camp. He had a little temper problem going on and didn't feel like participating. This year he was out there and played his little heart out. It was a very warm week that first week of June....but he did GREAT!!! We may have a little soccer player in our midst.

Christina's Heritage Fair Project 2009

Ever since we went to Kelowna last summer when she learned about Ogopogo she knew she was going to do her Heritage Fair project on it. Here she is by her board in May at the Canyon Lister Elem. Heritage Fair.

Spokane Valley

In June we had a 'girls day' and went to Spokane Valley Washington for the day. The wildlife pictures were taken in the Cabela's store in Post Falls, Idaho. Christina and Meredith made Cat her first Build A Bear stuffie...and grey and pink cat now named KitKat.

View of Kootenay Lake from Blue Point Girl Guide Camp

I know it's been a while since I updated our blog. Life just gets in the way. I hope to have this updated totally here soon. The next several entries will not be in any order. Here are some pictures I took in May when we took the Sparks camping at our Girl Guide camp up at Kootenay Lake.

The tonsils are out!

We got up before the rooster this morning and were on our way to Cranbrook to get rid of yet another set of tonsils. This time it was Shayne's turn. On the way there we saw 2 herds of Elk....and them bucks had some HUGE antlers. Only saw one deer. Otherwise it was a good trip. Got to Cranbrook in time for me to do my Canadian duty and go to Tim Hortons for some tea and breakfast. Then it was off to the hospital. The above picture is of Shayne still with his tonsils. He wasn't too impressed with the hospital gown...he didn't like wearing a 'dress'. LOL He got into surgery at the time he was supposed to and came out about an hour and a half later. He had a little problem waking up! When they brought him back to me in Day Care he was not smiling like his sister Meredith did after her tonsillectomy. He was a little feisty and a man of few words. He rested the rest of the morning well and when he woke up he ate his popsicle and drank some apple juice, peed, and we were on our way! We did a little shopping before we left Cranbrook and were still home by 5pm local time! He was happy that we were home in time for Kids Korner, but I wouldn't let him go. So since I didn't let him go to Kids Korner he got lay on the couch and watch a Star Wars movie. He's complained of little pain and is enjoying his diet today of popsicles, Slurpees, and butterscotch pudding. His only real complaint was about 'the hanging down thingy in the back of my throat' is swollen and is bothering him...but that has already gotten better, too.

Thank you for all your positive thoughts and prayers.
