Happy Mothers Day

 Hope all you fabulous mamas out there had a great day........





......sipping fruity drinks with an inspiring book

.......or dreaming a garden into being

 .....perhaps building a bed to grow some healthy greens

....or doing anything that you love to do.
Loving your children is the most important job there is to do........ so yay for all you Moms out there.
A special Yay to mine!
Love to all Mothers.

Saturday Soccer

 Saturday soccer game in Kaslo. Unfortunately we encountered a super safety conscious referee who wouldn't let anyone play with jewelry on. Shasta got her ears pierced last week to celebrate the first of May. So she couldn't play. It was however a beautiful day and after we cheered on the team, who tied the game, we had some fun hanging out.

 Benched player!

Skipping some rocks

Apprentice rock skipper

Spring flowers

Then on the way home a quick dip in the hot spring for the boys and a little hike up the hill for the girls. S and I hiked up behind the springs. We found a tiny little cabin.

Nice view on the way down

We also checked out the outflow from the pools.....where the water flows down on its way to the lake. It was still a little warm.....one could sit tin the ditch on the side of the highway if they really wanted.

Time to head back home....its still quite a drive.

Nik was off on his own adventure at a fair in a small town in the other direction. He spent the day with his girlfriends family.

It was a good day.
Hugs.

Crazy Busy Spring!!!

Spring has sprung, the grass is green I wonder where the time is going.  It has been a while since I updated and  so there is much to catch up on. I'll probably will miss some but I will do my very best. 

We have moved into our house. This is very good. There are some things still to finish but all the essentials are in place, bathrooms, washer and dryer, fully operational kitchen, cozy sleeping quarters. We have work to do yet but are taking a well deserved break. 

Tiling when it was still happening

Stairs....in case you couldn't tell

We are all busy with our lives. S is in soccer and Dad is coaching. Terr is attending a series of code upgrade meeting in preparation of getting the business up and running. J is attending herb club and learning about plants and making all kinds of cool stuff like elderberry glycerite. N is still involved in jazz band and hanging out with his girlfriend. I am still working on school, will soon do my practicum, and am involved with some volunteering at the school and with  the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL). This along with the house and family are keeping me very busy.
Today was water day in Winlaw. Once a year there is day for giving thanks for water. There was a parade to the river where we sang and gave thanks. Back in town there was live music all day and kids activities. It was a lot of fun. I dragged the kids home after 8 hours and J is very upset as he has to wait a whole year for it it happen again. 
i'll try to post some more recent pics this weekend.....I decided to post what I had now rather than put the posting off any longer.
Peace, love and blessings to all.
Oh and the next time you have a drink of clear clean water don't for get to be grateful.
