Welcome!

Welcome to my blog. This is a place where I will voice MY thoughts and MY ideas on life and life events. I faithfully write in a journal but sometimes I feel the need to publically display, so here it is!

Catch up

Well its been a while since my last blog. Just a quick catch up blog:

Logan - is well. He is definetly growing right now (complaining of body pains and aches). He is also pushing the limits and all my buttons. Definetly just in a phase right now. He is still a sweet and wonderful boy. Into lego and bionicles (hero factories) right now.

Carter - we are potty training. Hes not a natural. Itll be two weeks this monday. He is starting to not want to wear diapers, but he only makes it to the potty 40-50% of the time...but i think 10 days in we aee finally starting to see a wee wee bit of progress (no pun intended ha ha). Otherwise he is starting to play a bit better with others. He gets blamed alot for things because it was "always him" before, and some kids freak out just cuz he looks at them lol, so im veryc areful to only scold/punish in situations that truly deserve it otherwise i was feeling like he was in trouble all the time. Not a way to live and grow confidently!

Michael - loving his job! He went for some training into toronto a week ago. They gave him a huge raise too. On another note we had to take his truck in to our wonderful mechanic (it was to a point whrre it needed to be put up ona hoist and have work done). A huge bill but hopefully enoigh work done to fix the problems and run the truck the 3 more years we need it to run. Once my van is paid for then we will invest in a new-ish truck. (Never brand new but we will.go thru a dealer for sure)

Kyla - im same old same old. Im babysitting alot. Im using thr money against debt repayment. Id like to have our debt paid off in that same 3 year window if possible. Im getting very excited to build our deck this spring. First the steps going into the backyard, then our huge patio/deck. It will be so great. I love projects. Sadly i only have $4000 to work with - which means dura deck is completly oit of the questiom but itll be lovely! Anyways, im still training for the spartan race in august and im trying to master running a 5km. My best time so far is 35 mins...but generally i am 41 mins. Id like to be august be able to run it without 0-2 walking moments. On another note i was released as vt coordinator and am not compassionte service leader. I miss my calling but you do what you have to!

Anyways, thats all for this update!
