Poor neglected blog

Wow, a year has gone by, and a lot of changes have occurred.

My grandma passed away in February, my grandpa followed her in June. It hasn't been easy dealing with their passings. My poor brother is the executor of their estate, but keeps running into roadblocks trying to get everything sorted out. The joys of stepfamilies, not speaking to other family members, not knowing that some even exist. My grandpa's family has a lot of secrets, from what we have learned. Hopefully soon, everything will be straightened out, an we can really move on.

We have had a few major changes occur within my own little family - we moved from BC to Alberta, to a small community outside Edmonton. Des is working in Fort McMurray (6 days on, 6 off, he comes home on his six off). He transferred from the Sparwood Kal Tire to the OTR shop up there in March, and we moved here in June, just as the kids were finishing up their school year. He has more opportunities work wise there, as hopefully soon he can start Assistant Manager training.

I left my job at Equipment Sales & Service in order for us to move, but I have found another job that I am enjoying, now that we are all settled in. I work at CFB Edmonton (Canadian Forces Base). I am a Community Recreation Assistant at the Military Fitness Centre, meaning I work at the front counter, checking ID for all that come in, selling tickets to area attractions, and other fun stuff. It is part-time, but that is fine with me. I average 4-6 shifts a week.

And some more big news, Cody is back living with us!! Since we live about an hour away from his dad's place, he was able to come visit us more and more, but he found after being here for a few days, and then going back to his dad's house, he was really missing spending time with the kids. So he moved back home in the beginning of October. It is an adjustment to say the least, he has been used to having so much freedom at his dad's. That's not to say he doesn't have any here, but we don't live in the city, and there is no public transportation for him to get around. So he is very reliant on us to get him around, and to and from his job in the city.

We also welcomed a new baby into my husband's family - his sister Jackie and her husband Dale had a baby girl in July - Jaidyn Lily. We haven't actually been able to meet her yet, but I get weekly photos of our precious new niece. Hopefully we will get to spend Christmas with them this year.

And finally, scrapbooking - a fear that is a distant memory. I really have had the time or motivation to do much of any lately. My computer isn't liking me, takes forever to load and memory is practically non-existant. Which frustrates me when I do try to do something. Hopefully in the new year, I can get myself a new laptop and get back into things. I do miss my creative outlet.

so yeah

two months have gone by, with no blog posts by me. What can I say, this year has been kinda crappy for me. In almost every way possible.
I have slowly adjusted to the fact that my grandparents time here with us is numbered. I visited my grandfather in the care home in July ... that was so hard. He is just a shell of who he used to be. I will always remember our special afternoon treats at Wendy's or A&W, playing a game of pool with him, snuggling while watching TV together, afternoons spent splashing around in their swimming pool ... it was very hard to see him as he is now. He has lost a lot of weight, and Alzheimer's is kicking his butt, and quickly. And my poor grandmother, she has been in the hospital, since March of this year. She has maybe been home 5 days total since then. She hasn't seen my grandfather in a few months now, and I know that it is killing her even more than her being in the hospital. And it is so hard being so far away from them! I am 10 hours away, my brother is 7. Thankfully, our mom is right there, but there isn't that much she can do at this point. She has been visiting grandma daily, but can only get out to see grandpa once a month (he is 2 hours from her).
It has also been very hard to not see my first born child in almost a year now. I haven't been able to hug him since he went back to his dad's place at the end of Christmas holidays. And it won't be until December18th until I get to hold him again. It has been very hard for me & his siblings. Thankfully, we talk on the phone every Sunday night, and we FB and text each other all the time. But I still miss him so very much.
We have been toying around with the idea of moving again ... I know, it seems that is all we ever do! But this time, it might be a bit of a move, compared to normal. Des may be given the opportunity to help set up a new tire repair shop, maybe in Newfoundland, or maybe Saskatchewan. Wherever they use large mining trucks, they need large tires repaired. It's still just at the possible stage, but it could be an exciting adventure for us.
I think the only positive adjustment I have made this year is that all my babies are finally all in school now! Quinten started kindergarten this year, and oh my, does he ever love it! His teacher is so amazing, I ♥ her dearly! He has his best friend in the whole wide world in his class, which makes every day a playdate for the two of them. hehehee Xander has moved on to grade 3, and has a few of his good friends in his class (his poor teacher). And Jenna, she is in her final year in Elementary school this year. And she is trying to make the most out of it, by doing everything she can. lol She is in choir, she has done soccer already, & volleyball starts today. She is also doing her babysitting certification right now, which means in just a few short weeks, she will be able to babysit properly! Yay!! Cody also started a milestone this year, he is in grade 10, his first year at a Senior High school. In no time at all, I will have a high school graduate on my hands! Eeek!
I would love to say that I have used this time away from my "life" to scrapbook, but I haven't really been feeling the motivation and the mojo has escaped. I've done a few pages, but mostly just for CT stuff. As it is, I am not on as many CTs (due to lack of completing tasks on my end, I've been a major slacker) anymore. Just Kristin, Julie, Eva & Christy. That's it. Although I do have a guest spot starting in just a few short days! Whoo hooo!
Well, time to head home after a slow morning at work, get to take Quin to the bus when I get home, and then enjoy my 2.5 hours of kid-free time! Finally, after 15 years of being a parent, I get a bit of a break where I am not at work! Yay me!

Yeah, I suck at posting

life gets in the way and the blog gets forgotten about. what can I say? I need a reminder that this thing needs attention. lol

School is almost done for the year here. My kiddos get their report cards on Tuesday. If all goes well, I will have a 10th grader, a 6th grader, a 3rd grader and a kindergartner come September!! Yup, all four beasties will be in school! Too bad we don't get full-day K here next year, Quin is so ready for full days! He had his orientation last month, and he wanted to go back to school "the next day, and the day after, and forever." He is sooo cute!

We've been busy the past two months with soccer - in the snow and in the rain. Quinten is U6 this year, Xander is U8, and Jenna is U12. We are winding up with that this week - Jenna has her wind-up BBQ tonight, and then a game in Elkford (maybe Kristin CB will come meet up with us?!?). The boys have their wind-up BBQ tomorrow night. And Saturday, all three have their tournament games, thankfully all here, no out of town travel!

And to make this all even better - July 1st our summer holidays start!!! We leave here early that morning to head for "home". If we make it there early enough, the Princess and I will go out for a date that night (to see Eclipse!!!). Friday we head up to Sun Peaks Resort for my SIL's wedding!! So excited!! I will be helping out, taking some photos for the family, since my SIL only has the photographer for the ceremony & posed photos afterwards - no photos of them getting ready, and none for the reception. So I will try my best to capture those once in a lifetime moments for them. Des has been spoiling me with stuff for my camera, preparing for our holidays - a Tamron 70-300mm F4-5.6 lens, a power zoom flash, a tripod, a battery grip, some extra batteries, a wide angle lens adapter and I managed to snag a wireless remote for my camera through Amazon, using my SwagBucks!!

After the wedding, we head back down the hill, and drop the three kids off at my Mom's - where they will stay for two weeks - and then they head to my ILs for another two weeks! Yes, Des and I get FOUR whole weeks with no children!!! We will be coming back home for the first week, and then we head out for our two week holiday to Manitoba!! Due to some insane weather that hit Southern Alberta this past month, the main highway that we normally travel on has been wiped out, so we have to take a bit of a detour. We will go visit family & friends, and go to another wedding in Manitoba two weeks after Des' sister's wedding - the little girl that used to babysit for us when we lived in Saskatchewan is getting married!!!  Not too sure what we will do along the way, maybe stop in Moose Jaw and do the Underground Tunnels (since we did one of the two tours last time we went through Moose Jaw two years ago, I want to do the other one now. lol). We will be camping along the way, in Des' parents truck & camper (I so don't do tents anymore!).

I've been doing some scrapbooking - not as much as I would like, but I've been so busy chasing children around. Check out my galleries to see what I've done.
Speaking of scrapping ....

lots of changes

but I guess that's bound to happen when you never post to your own blog. lmao

So, let's see (very long post, so not normal for me, sorry in advance) ...

January started out good, just chilling with the family. First week in, Jenna tripped over her friend's Krazy Karpet and landed on her wrist, prompting another trip to the ER for her wrist (she was there January last year for the same wrist, same thing, falling and landing on it). Had a couple X-Rays done, then into a cast she went - the first person in our immediate family to ever have a cast on (I have broken my toe, but they don't cast for that). That stayed on for one week, while we waited to have another X-Ray done. The couldn't see anything, but where she was in pain, they said that type of break doesn't always show on X-Rays - great! (not!!) So the day after her 11th birthday, we went in to have the cast removed, and another set of X-Rays ... and a splint this time, while we await the X-Ray results. One more week goes by, and I took Jenna in the morning of the 27th to have her splint removed and to see what the next step would be. Whew, she is pain free and can move her wrist again! No clue what she did, they think she actually bruised the bone and all the muscles in the area, so the cast & splint helped ease some of the pain of movement while her body healed. So yay, she is all better!

Well, the night Jenna's splint was removed, while Des was at work, he ended up hurting himself pretty badly. He ended up in the ER himself, to have his finger stitched back together. He was buffing the inside of a tire (remember, he works on those HUGE haul truck tires for the mines), the grinder must have hit one of the steel cords inside and kicked back and sliced him open. He drove himself over to the hospital after he managed to stop most of the bleeding, they cleaned him up and stitched him closed, with instructions that he would have to get to Lethbridge for surgery to re-attach the tendon that he severed. He scared me when he came home early from work, because I had no idea he had hurt himself. He didn't want me to panic and not be able to do anything because I was stuck at home with no vehicle, and all the kids. The next day we phoned the plastic surgeon in Lethbridge we were recommended to call, and we were told Des' surgery would not be until February 3rd. We were not expecting him to have to wait a full week after his injury to have surgery. Poor guy, he normally tolerates pain well, doesn't like taking Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, etc ... he was taking T3s that weekend, and they were barely doing the trick. So February 3rd rolls around, we arranged for the kids to go to my friend Shanna's house for two days, since we had no idea how long his surgery was going to be, or what kind of shape he would be in after. We planned to spend the night, because I hate driving at night through the mountains. Can I just say, the Lethbridge hospital is actually very nice! I am used to small, run down hospitals that I see throughout our province, have never experienced an Alberta hospital before ... it was so clean and modern looking. Anyways ... we got to the hospital, got Des all checked in, filled out all the necessary paperwork (since it was a Workers Comp injury, we were supposed to do things through them, but the hospital bills through our provincial medical, who then have to go through WCB), and then headed for the day surgery ward. I wasn't sure if I should stick around, leave, wander the gift shop or what, so thankfully I had brought Jenna's DS with me, and I plunked my butt down to wait while Des was in surgery. Good thing I didn't take off ... he was out within 30 minutes or so. Feeling groggy and in not too much pain, but he was walking on his own two feet. So we decided to get our grocery shopping for the week done, and head home early ... which wasn't too early by the time we actually got home (I drove in the dark, blech), but we left the kids with Shanna anyways. The next week was rough on Des, he was in even more pain that before, so the T3s got replaced with Percocet. He had the dressing changed every 3-4 days, and the stitches out 10 days after the surgery. It's been healing well from what we can see, we don't go back until March 2nd for a follow up. All in all, Des only missed 10 days of work, he has been back since the Monday following his surgery, doing light-duty (answering the phones, making sure they guys are actually working ... watching TV, playing games on the computer ... whatever).

And to top off both these injuries, we have had at least one child sick with something since the day Jenna hurt herself. The flu, a cold, strep throat ... all three have been hit once or twice in the past month and a bit. I just want it all to stop!!

So we have also had two family birthdays (ok, more than that, but not my direct family, as in I didn't give birth to the rest. lol). Jenna is now 11, and Cody is now 15. Yes, I have a Tween and FIFTEEN year old!! I feel old!! Up next in birthday rotation ... Quinten will be FIVE at the end of March. Speaking of Quin ... he is now officially registered for Kindergarten in the Fall!! Sad, but at the same time, so excited! Bummed that it will still only be half-day kindy, next year it bumps to full-day. Oh well, we'll take what we can get. If we lived in Fernie or Elkford, he would be in full-day in September, Sparwood gets it the following year.

Oh, and what else ... Des found me a new vehicle, a 2005 Pontiac Montana. Just waiting for delivery now, all the paperwork has been completed. I am kinda excited!! He wanted another truck, but he knew we couldn't afford that right now. And we were starting to get squishy in the car, with all three kids in the backseat. So my new minivan will be a welcome relief for road trips, shopping trips, going to visit friends ... much easier to separate the children. lol

And scrapping news ... with all that has been happening the past few months, I have cut down on the creative teams I am on (as well as gaining one I have been trying out for since I started digi-scrapping!!).
Now I CT for Kristin Cronin-Barrow, Christy Lyle, Julie Billingsley, Eva Kipler, and Traci Reed (whoo hooo, she finally picked me!!) - all at Sweet Shoppe Designs, for Nikki Epperson at Polka Dot Plum and The Digi Chick, and also site CT for Polka Dot Plum (I am a Sugar Plum!).

I suck

yup, it's true. I haven't been a good blogger lately, but I am hoping to change all that this year!
I will post more when I get home from work!

Scrap News

so since I am such a slacker, and haven't really posted in ages, I figure it's time to do some scrap updates.

I have been accepted on a few more Creative Teams ... so now I create for Kristin Cronin-Barrow, Bree Clarkson, Christy Lyle, Penny Springmann, Julie Billingsley, Eva Kipler, Sir Scrapalot (Aaron Morris), Nikki Epperson, Susan Robinson, Amanda Heimann, and I have a guest spot with Jennifer Fox for the month of October.

So as you can guess ... that means A TON of new LOs completed since my last scrap post in June. heheheee I'm not going to post them all, you can go to my gallery at Sweet Shoppe Designs or My Scrapbook Art to see them yourself. But I will post a few to share, a few of my favorites in the past few months.

new look

to the blog ... whatcha think?
Fall is here, with a blast of icy cold wind and changing leaves galore!

ignore the mess

I am trying to do some updating, but I keep forgetting to bring stuff back and forth with me to work. I am going to update the whole look and feel of my blog, so please be patient. I am such a slacker it's not even funny. hehehe Ok, so maybe it is.

I am beyond excited for this!! This is big!

I haven't updated to say it officially ... I am part of the Creative Team for Sir Scrapalot, also known as Aaron Morris!! And he will be part of the Polka Dot Plum designers!!
His team has been able to play with his designs for a few months now, and let me just tell you, they are FABULOUS!!! We haven't been able to post them for everyone to see, until the store is up, but believe me, the wait will well be worth it!

So mark the date on your calendar, send a reminder ... September 2nd!!

changes

have happened in our house in such a short time since my last post. Cody is no longer living with us here, he has moved to his father's place in Edmonton. After over 2 years of no contact, we finally heard from him. We needed the break from Cody, his attitude had gotten to the point I couldn't deal with it anymore, never mind the lying and the stealing. So I told his father that he needed to come get Cody soon ... and he was here the next day to pick him up. Cody will be finishing out his school year (basically just exams now) at a new school. Hopefully this is what he needs to get his act together. The move is an indefinite one, meaning he could just be there for the summer, or a semester of school, or the entire school year, or even longer. Whatever works best.

Anyways ....

We are gearing up to head to my big brother's wedding in three weeks. We will be camping for the week in the area with the kids, our only real vacation this year. I love Nelson so much, it is a great place to visit and so much to do there! Plus all my family will be there, which will be nice (well, besides Cody, he really needs the time with his father). Although I really, really, really want to go back to Manitoba this year, I had so much fun last summer!

But it doesn't look like it will happen this year. Work has been tight for Des this year, with very few overtime days, and no bonuses so far this year (although we are hoping that either next weeks pay, or the one after that, will have some sort of a production bonus on it!). And next summer doesn't look too promising, unless we can save up some money to do it then, since Des' sister is getting married next summer.

FOBTY

I am gonna squeeze two FOBTY posts into one ... am I allowed to do that? hehee I am such a blog slacker.

June 4th -my favorite animal at the zoo? well, I have only ever been to the zoo (wildlife park) where we used to live, but my favorite thing to see there was the giraffes. I don't know why, I find them fascinating. Maybe cause I am so short. lol

June 11th -

You Are Sweet

You are easy going and pleasant. You are always happy and upbeat. No wonder you're so popular. There's nothing to dislike about you. You are both likable and lovable. In fact, some people feel very passionately about you. You are simply bliss inducing. You remind people to take time and enjoy life.

What Taste Are You?

omg - two months with no new posts from me?

what the heck is wrong with me? lol

So we have moved, finally. We found a house in town that is nearly 100 years old, and so perfect for us (or at least it will be once they put in the 3rd and 4th bedroom!! It's only 2 for now).

It's so cute and so us. If you click on that photo above, it will take you to the album with all the pictures of the house.

Other than that ... uh, not a whole heck of a lot has really happened. Kids are almost done school, just a few weeks left now. Cody has his last day of classes on the 16th, then three days of exams. Jenna and Xander technically go until the 26th, although the last week is pretty much fun days.

we survived two weeks of Spring Break!! Yeah! The kids have all gone back to school (well, except for Quinten, who doesn't go yet. lol). Speaking of Quin .... TODAY is his FOURTH birthday!! My baby is growing up on me toooooo dang fast! That means we have lived here in the East Koots for almost 4 years! (we moved here when he was three weeks old!). I ended up only working on OT day last week, warehouse guy ended up staying in town. But one day OT is better than none. I just wish that Des could get some OT hours too! Those are nice when they happen.

Facebook, MySpace or Twitter? Which are you?

You Are Facebook

You are social, outgoing, and excited to connect to your friends. You are interested in your friends' lives, and you enjoy adding your opinion to the mix. While you enjoy sharing online, you don't want everyone to know your business. You value your privacy. Your life is an open book to those you know but not to strangers.

Are You Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter?

It's crazy how true this is!! lmao I LIVE on FB!

Spring Break

I knew that as soon as Spring Break arrived, the sickies would leave our house! Two weeks of healthy kids and no school! Ack! And of course, I still have to work in the mornings, and hubby still has to work in the afternoons. And only one vehicle - so we are still stuck at home! I hate not having my car fixed yet! (have to wait for FIL to come at Easter to change my water pump and look at my rad - definitely cheaper than taking it to a mechanic, unless you count me losing my sanity).
Next week, I'll be working some overtime too, which around here, isn't happening very often with the layoffs in the Valley. But my warehouse guy is heading to Vancouver to go visit his great grandma, so I'll be working 8am-1pm (instead of my usual 9am-noon) so that there is someone at work if the boss has to step out of the office. Not gonna complain about the 6 extra hours I'll get doing that on Mon, Tues & Wed. heheee

-----------------------------------------------------------------
FOBTY:

This week, they asked us to tell about our favorite Girl Scout cookie. Well, up here we have Girl Guides. And it's sad - we only have two kinds of cookies! In the Fall, we have our chocolate mint cookies (much like a thin mint G.S. cookie, I am sure). And in the Spring, we have chocolate creme & vanilla creme sandwich cookies. YUM! Almost time for them too! But since I am not a Brownie leader this year, I don't have to worry about selling them. hehehe Guess it also means I don't have to buy a case for myself too. lol

Quin has it too, but he doesn't have to worry about school just yet. Thankfully, Des, Cody and myself have missed out on it this time, although I feel so drained from dealing with the sick ones. lol The life of a mother.

In scrap news ... Eva Kipler asked me to join her team again! I am so excited! Eva was one of the first designers to give me a chance to work with their goodies (besides Kristin of course!). Thank you soooo much Eva!
