Time sure flies
Wow it looks like the updating of the blogs lately is really taking a hit eh? Not that I should be one to be pointing the finger, of course Les and Auntie Berta are always there .. you can always count on an update from them. Thanks guys! Is it that we're all so crazy busy and hectic these days? Or are we all just hibernating from the cold?
Way to go Team Crocket on surpassing your goal I see .. expect my pledge to be coming soon, don't worry I haven't forgotten you. It's a great cause and you're certainly braver than I am for doing a 10k run, you certainly deserve everyone's support.
The kids have been busy as always. Cait's hockey season is nearly over. We have our final provincial playdown game tonight to decide if we go on to Provincials and we have two more local tournaments yet. Kelsey just won Gold this past weekend at Atlantics in Newfoundland for wrestling. We have only one event left, Nationals in PEI in May. Kelsey has won gold at every wrestling event this year for the weight class/age group. Amazing eh?
The babies are doing great. Joeye is talking up a storm these days and has recently taken up lying "Weally mommy it was my fwiend that coloured my hand, I will give her a time out for you okay?" What do you do when they are so darn cute you can't bring yourself to punish them?
Josh has been moving and scooting around like crazy .. crawling, cruising, babbling and constantly at the stairs. He is such a big boy the doctor can't very get over the size of him.
Personal update ... When we got home from Nfld our computer started to smoke so JJ ran out and bought the girls each their own laptops and set up the wireless internet. They are in heaven. Our deep freeze also stopped working sometime on our trip and well that problem has yet to be dealt with, the smell alone could kill you! Before we left for Nfld our van was broken into right on the street while we were in enjoying the dinner theatre, they decided to steal my work bag, which contained receipts for my grants, entries that weren't yet posted in my accounting system and a bank book. This happened two days before we were to leave for PEI for Caits hockey tournament so we had to rush and get the sliding door window fixed .. very helpful man at the auto repairs shop helped us out. Then just before we left for Nfld I got a call from the bank that someone was forging the stolen cheques and trying to put them through our account at work. I almost passed out. Luckily I was covered because I reported it to the police, reported it to the bank, and to our executive director .. but still. This is a new, small charitable organization just trying to get on their feet, the last think they needed was having 10K withdrawn from their account. The bank returned almost all the funds immediately so luckily it's all worked out .. but crazy drama surrounding me these days!
Happy Birthday Les I know it's just around the corner, Kelsey's is always a great reminder for me. Happy Easter everyone. Some random pics and videos for all who don't visit facebook these days!

Monica, you have more than made up for not blogging more. Your life is never ending...go go go! Congratulations to both Kelsey and Caitlynn on their athletic accomplishments.
What a fill of bad/dumb luck! Appliances will break down but what a low life to try and forge charity cheques. Glad the losses were covered.
Have a great Easter weekend, relax and just do nothing! You've earned it.

Your ears must have been burning - Aaron and I were just talking about you this morning and how we haven't chatted in awhile.
Sounds like you've had some terrible luck lately. I'm sure things will turn around soon!
You can tell the girls how FREAKING JEALOUS I am...wish I had a laptop...Aaron if you're reading this it is my b'day tomorrow. wink wink. nudge nudge.
..sigh..anyways, glad to see the update I'll be sending you a ginormous email soon to catch up!
PS - I check my bloglines for updates every afternoon, hence the quick responses. I don't sit at my computer checking all the blogs due to lack of a social life like I imagine people think I do, ha ha.

Well, go figure, I am not the only Blog slacker in the family. Love the pictures. Sorry about the bad luck, but kudo's on the kids accomplishments. Well at least things can only go up from here.
