One goal reached!!

We are now on spring break.... and so far it has been great!! I love being home. We have been busy so far. Saturday was Delaney's birthday and we enjoyed celebrating with her. Saturday night we went over to bid farewell to our neighbours, the Bordeleau's as they moved to Quesnel today. It was also the beginning of plumbing problems( a whole other story....but one that ended without much damage or cost) that did not get resolved until Monday afternoon!! Sunday night we celebrated Uncle Percy's birthday with dinner at their house!! Yummy!! Monday morning I dropped the van off for a tune up and ran home!! It was hard to get up when everyone else was still sleeping, but I did feel revived after my run!!

Yesterday Heidi and I shopped...and shopped...and shopped!! We had it planned for a very long time..A day in Kelowna, sans children!! I picked her up at 9:00 am and dropped her off at 9:30 last night. There is nothing like a day of shopping with a great friend...thanks Heidi for the awesome company! We both found some new duds and didn't spend too much money!!

Then today it happened. Rachel reached her goal!! Both Cory and Rachel set a goal for spring break.. Cory wanted to learn how to tie shoes and Rachel wanted to learn to ride her bike without training wheels!! Today while Heidi and I were making cards, the kids were riding in the back yard. Rachel came up to the patio door with the biggest grin... I knew right away! She had reached her goal. She was so very proud and so was I! She had done it on her own...no running behind bikes, killing my back!! Here are a couple of pictures I took when she showed Daddy her latest accomplishment!! Yeah Rachel!!

Cory is also loving riding his new bike that Santa brought him...now to work on those shoelaces!!

I am still alive..... and finally some pics of the kids!!

Here is a picture from one of Cory's final hockey games!! It was a great season and the improvement of the kids was incredible! Cory gained so much confidence, both on the ice and off!! Now it is just road hockey... until hockey camp this summer!!!!

These are a few pictures from the skating club's annual pop concert!! Cory was also in Canskate once a week...he skated to "In the Navy" and Rachel's group skated to Mambo #5!! They were very cute....although by the time we took these pictures, they were freezing!! Can you tell????

And, little miss Amy couldn't be left out!! She is so full of personality, she makes us laugh!! This is one of my favourite pictures of her. She has been loving dressing up lately and was doing some funky dance moves!!! She is definitely our little princess #2!!!
