Well as you can see the page and header look a bit different. This is in anticipation of summer! We cannot wait to get in the pool we love our pool. It's still a little cool but maybe in the next couple of days or weeks with this weather we will be in it!!
The header was a creation of Coleen a blogger friend who designed it for me a while ago but I just figured out how to change it. Coleen has been having lots go on in her life right now but I'm sure she will be back bloging in no time and I can Thank her!
Hope you all like it as much as I do!
Thanks Coleen!

Riverfest
Well this weekend is Victoria day and they always have river fest in Frankford which is a little village not too far from us. Takes about 10 minutes at most to get there. Anyway we generally go on Saturday night because they have great fireworks. Better than almost any I have seen. they lasted about 20 minutes so you know it was a good show.
Darin's mom came down and went for a four wheeler ride and then to the neighbours and off to Frankford too. By the way thanks for weeding and planting the flowers in my flowerbed !!
Dalton likes to go because it has rides too. anyway after we went over to Tracy & Kevin's for supper and a visit for her birthday, ( cake pictures are next post) we headed out to Frankford.
Tyson was watching all the things going on and didn't seem much interested in the rides unless Dalton was on one, but you couldn't get him to go on one.
The tickets were very expensive this year. It was 25.00 for 20 tickets and each ride was 3 tickets. I found that a little steep. Regardless the kids had fun.
A goofy face for Mom... what a kid.. rides and more rides. Even grandma went on a few with him.
Can't see them too well but here were one of the fireworks. They were so pretty.
During the fireworks we ran into one of Dalton's friends from school Thomas. His family is living in a trailer right now because they had a fire in their home. The school has done lots to help them so they are doing OK for now.
Anyway Dalton was glad to see him and the last ride of the night was the Ferris wheel. They had a ton of fun because they could see the entire park from up there.
We went back home and Darin went back over to the neighbours because the party was still going!
Happy Victoria Day!!

Cake...Cake...Cake...
My friend and neighbour Tracy is turning 40 today! Happy birthday Trac! Her husband Kevin asked me if I would make her a cake. So I did. I told him to say to her don't ever say I never got you flowers for your birthday because the cake was covered in them. I thought that it turned out ok.....
This is what the sides each looked like they too were covered in flowers. She really liked it. It only took 3 hours to decorate!! It was worth it though for her. She does whatever she can to help you if you need it.
I was being a smart --- and made her a gag cake too. This picture may not be suitable for everyone and may be offensive to some but keep in mind it was a gag cake.
We both have pools in our backyard and Tracy is always saying how she wishes that she could fill out he bathing suit just a bit better. So me being the fun joking person that I am ( like my Dad) I made her a cake and put it in a box for her to open. Kevin though it was hilarious when he came over to get the other one. I figured the way that the kids were trying to stick their fingers in it it might be safer at their house!
So until later today when I give it too her it will be hidden from any eyes to be seen but yours and I know she is too busy to check the web page because she has a house full of company. I hopes she gets a laugh out of it!!
Happy 40th Tracy!

BABY CROCKS!!!
Baby crocks!! I was out today and I found Tyson his own pair of baby Crocks! He walked around all day watching his feet and falling in his face. He liked them. He takes them off after a while and hands it back to you to put back on him!
We thought that he was very fashionable in his new shoes. Daltonthought that he was very cool. Like his big brother of course!

Kitten fun & Ear infection!! STILL!!
Tyson is sitting on the floor playing or tormenting the kittens. They are at the point now where they are trying to climb out of the bin and they need to run and stretch so that they are strong enough to move away in a couple of weeks. We managed to find them all home but one! ONE! Anyone interested let me know. We are keeping the little tan one that is on the bin in the corner. I have liked him from the moment I saw him...just don't tell anyone! Tyson looks so devious in this picture I have to laugh. I was at work when Daddy took these. I just thought they were so darn cute!
The cat that we have left is a male and he is black and white striped. Again very cute. Someone Darin's sister knows might take him I guess. I will have to email her. He is the one that is ready to pounce out of the bin on Tyson in this picture.
Well, I took Tyson to the Dr again today and he still has an ear infection. This is the same one since Easter. So now we are on a super antibiotic zithromiacin that is only for 5 days and he will go see the specialist on June 1st. Where he is experiencing the infection is in a place that even tubes won't help so I don't know what they will do with him.
His mood is so different when he is sick. he is busy still but not as busy, not as curious, not as happy, not as easy to get along with and doesn't sleep all night so I will certainly be happy when it is gone. Tyson is much better to get along with when he is feeling better!
Sleep will be nice...

Mother's Day....
Happy Mother's Day everyone! Whether you're a mother or not I'm sure that you have assisted someone sometime as a mother has... Well, I had a great day. I got home from work this morning and my family asked me to make them breakfast. They forgot until I said happy mother's day as I served each of them a plate!
I guess since they gave me my card, scratch tickets and kit kat bar on Friday they figured that they could forget about it.
Dalton was so upset with himself. He ran upstairs and got his present that he made at school for me that he had hidden under his bed on Friday when he got home from school. Here it is it is a small pot that has sunflowers planted inside. He told me that we would have to get a bigger pot to put them in when they get bigger. I assured him that it would have to be the flower bed not a pot. He has painted it at school with flowers on the outside just for me.
Thank you Miss.Koekman.
The day got better as it progressed, other's hadn't forgotten. We went to Church and they had beautiful carnations for all the kids to give to their Mom's. We got one from the kids and one from the church.
Thank you Trisha & Pastor Mark.
Also at Sunday school Dianne had the kids make a card and plant us a flower. Again they were beautiful and the kids, all the kids did a great job!
Thanks Dianne!
Then after church my good friend Ethel who decided to go with me this morning. Said that she had something for me after church. It was this beautiful pot of flowers for my front step. They are much more beautiful after they opened up. But none the less beautiful now since they were bought for me with love from my friend. I am so lucky to have such special friends in my love that share in everything I do.
Thank you Ethel & Ken!
After that I came home and settled into bed for sleep for the afternoon until I go to work tonight.Except to get up and make them all some supper. So for all you special people who carry that special title of a mother.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

Grandparents head back to Winnipeg.....
Well we were all up early this morning. Granny and Poppa are heading back home to Winnipeg. I would like to say that their visit was a good one but their health wasn't. It was the best weather we have ever had when they have been here....but they both had the flu, and a cold while they were here.
in fact Granny was so sick this week that she didn't get to see a few of her friends or family. they were invited out a couple of nights but Granny was just too sick to go. She couldn't stop coughing and then up would come tons of stuff!
This is my Poppa.
The boys were up and out in the motor home playing before they left. As soon as Dalton got on the bus they followed it right up the street. Poppa hates long goodbyes. Mostly because he doesn't want everyone to see him cry Granny says.
As you can see Granny looks pretty rough. This was right before they left. They got home Friday afternoon. Granny said they stopped a little more often than normal for a couple of unscheduled naps. She has been home for almost two weeks and she still is sick!!
I miss them already!
