A Few Things

We have had a busy November so far!! It started the last weekend of October when I took Jared on a little getaway for his 40th Birthday!  We went back to some little cabins near Canmore, we had stayed there for our Anniversary a few years back.  They are so quaint and cozy!  We did a little looking around,  had a wonderful afternoon nap (not something we can do on a regular basis with kids around wanting our attention!!), went to a movie (the new Jack Reacher) and went out for dinner!  It was just what we needed to rejuvenate!!

The next weekend we decided to take a spur of the moment road trip to go and pick up some cattle feeders from a man in Alderflats (straight west of Red Deer). We decided to find a hotel with a water slide and took the kids!  Jared carried onto Alderflats while I stayed at the hotel with the kids so they could swim some more without being confined to a squishy truck!  Buck let us borrow his truck if we brought home some feeders for him too!!

 

 

Remembrance Day was quickly upon us, the kids have a ceremony at school which is always so touching!  Emry plays the trumpet in the band, and loves it!!!  This was to be her first performance.  The band started with O Canada and later played You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban.  They did a great job!  A few students read poems they had written specifically for Remembrance Day, they all did fabulous.  We stood for 2 minutes of silence to honor those who have fought for our freedom.  Overall, a great service dedicated to those men and women who so bravely fight to keep us free and safe.

 

The next weekend we decided to take the kids to a University Basketball game.  Emry sat and watched the entire game and really got into it!  The boys played non stop in a bouncy house that was set up for kids, and they had a blast!  It was a good game, the Pronghorns won too which made it even better!!

Emry has started basketball, she has to go to Vulcan to play, but that's okay because she is loving it!  We are a little more busy than we were last month, but again its a good busy!  The kids are happy so that makes me happy!  I love my little family and all they do to brighten my day!
