candy making with Cam

First Cam and I played a game of Sorry.....after about fifteen minutes we decided we were done with that and it was still raining outside...hmmm now what????

We decided to make CANDY!!!!

I had some Harry Potter candy molds and colored chocolate disks (gift to Ty from Aunt Xena)

CANDY!!!!!!

It was very exciting!

great weekend

What a wonderful weekend with the boys! We went to the park, jumped on the trampoline, canoed, worked in the garden, and got our chickens! It has been hard keeping Cam out of the box that the chickens are living in right now....he really likes them! Both boys have fed them right out of their hands....I hope it keeps being as good of an experience as it is right now. We also went skating today, well for ten minutes or so! Then ate pizza at the rink, it sure is nice to have good food right there. When Cam and I went canoeing this afternoon we were both amazed at the size of the fish we saw right here in our slough! we saw some 12 inch grayling but then we found the hot spot for the pike...HUGE! Cam tried to catch them, not realizing he has no hook on his pole...I guess I better put a hook on there. The thought scares me a little though! The weather has been awesome in the high 70 to low eighties yesterday and mid to high 70's now. Makes for a great time outside...running through sprinklers, soccer, just fun! If this weather keeps up we are going to have to buy stock in popsicles!

swingset!!!!

Finally Cam gets his own swingset!!! Of course we will still do trips to parks and play grounds but he is very excited about his own! I found it for sale on line and the lady only lived about a mile and half from me! (see it was meant to be!) Now for the problem....Leo is playing hockey in California and has loaned out his truck. Not that I could get it even if I had his truck it is so big and heavy. So I call the guy we loaned it to....he cant have it back until around 8 or 9...and no he cant help. I call another friend, he has food poisoning, another has hockey practice, cant get a hold of two others.....GREAT, now what???? I call my ex-husband....sure he says and he and Ty come right over and take the whole thing apart transport it and put it back together for me! Cam was thrilled! I was too!

Thursday Thirteen

Top 13 reasons I have the best family...

1. Leo tucks me in every night

2. Ty always says "Good night, sleep well, I love you"

3. Cam cannot go to sleep without a hug, a kiss, and an extra hug from Mommy

4. Planting flowers with Cameron

5. talking with Leo on the computers during working hours

6. playing hockey with Ty (although I think you should have bounced it off me more often so I could have more goals)

7. Cam snuggling in my lap both at night and in the morning

8. when Tyler is goofy with me

9. Leo tells me I am beautiful

10. When my boys play together...not because I tell them too....because they want to

cabin

A beautiful day for a ride into the cabin! We took time to take some side

trails and play in the snow! Once at the cabin Cam worked on the fire pit and cleaned up the branches and stumps from the yard.

This is a creepy looking bug that Tyler located....have no idea what it is...hope to never see it again either!

Snow geese at the lower landing.

Cam thought he would like to take them home as pets....

Tyler and Leo getting ready to do some target shooting...well floating sticks etc.... :)

BANG!

Meanwhile Cam is oblivious to all the noise and is busy building roads!
