This and that catch ups..

Well it has been a bit since I have posted. The last one was before I went to Kitimat.

OH, on a side bar I am starting this post at 18:09 Thursday evening. I have had some issues with my hips again and my back went into spasms last night so this post may take a while to actually complete this but I want to see how long exactly...

I got in Thursday night and visited a couple people but it was a quiet night...Friday...not so quiet. Out I went to hang out with some of the girls. And that is NEVER quiet!! LOL!! We had a good time hanging out a a girlfriends and then hitting the scene. HAHA!! It is Kitimat...there is NO scene. We went to the 'Ol Keg (not to be mistaken with The Old Keg), it is the pub-by-day/club-by-night place there. I got to see a LOT of people that I knew so that was AWESOME. I was too busy mingling and chatting to take many pics but here are a couple.

Here is my mommy's dog "Potter" He was my shadow when I was there. I couldn't go ANYWHERE without him. He wouldn't even get up in the morning with mom. He waited until I got up. LOL!!! Isn't he a cutie??

Here is Dad with Potter....in their usually spots. hehehe

And I can't forget Remembrance Day!! It was such a good day. We all met up in the parking lot of Dairy Queen the fell in line for the parade...(I would post a picture but mom didn't take any)...tsk tsk Moooooooooooommmmmm, just kidding:) But she did take these good ones.

This is me and the President of the Kitimat Legion.

My Commanding Officer from when I was in Sea cadets, myself and the other man used to be the Legion President and he is still rather active with them. He also picks on my mom a lot and its funny!!!

One of Kitimat's great RCMP's, they were a great bunch of people.

This is Leslie. I NOW feel old when I am having cocktails with a kid I used to BABYSIT!! She is a great girl who has travelled and done a lot with her life. We are all proud of her.

HEY!! DAD!!! Recognise this guy?? He used to work for my dad in Price Rupert and now he is the Commanding Officer of the Sea Cadet Corp in Kitimat. What a small world hey??

Mom and Dad...aren't they CUTE??!!

I got this great idea and got every ones hats together...look at me trying to be some sort of photographer. LOL!!! We were missing an Air Force head dress, too bad that would have been a better more complete picture.

HAHA!! Here are some reps for each hat. LOL!! We had so much fun there.

Well, I am done this one. I have more but they will have to wait. But if you want to see all of my newest pictures, there is more on flickr. I will post another shortly, hopefully it won't take as long :) It is now 10:45 Sunday morning....

Kitimat next week

I made a comment in the last post about going up to Kitimat next week. Yes, thats right I am going back home for a few days. My amazingly awesome husband has gotten me a ticket to go home for Remembrance day. Ever since joining the military it has been something that I have wanted to do.

Being from a rather small community I have always wanted to go back and show the town that even I made something of myself. (If you knew me growing up it was a toss up between actually DOING something with my life or becoming a bum in constant party mode). I have just always wanted to go back and speak to the Cadet Corps that I used to belong to and who introduced me to military life and let them know that there are options for them out there, they just need to make the right ones. And if I can get through to just one of those kids then it would be totally worth it.

Plus I will be going up there ALONE no hubby, no kids. After the retarded year we have had this is like a mini break for me. Yes, Hawaii sounded nicer but then I couldn't talk to the kids. And at least up in Kitimat I know people and my room and food are FREE!! LOL!!!

So to my HOTTIE of a hubby, THANK YOU for the ticket. I love you and YOU ROCK!!!

Halloween fun

We took the kids out for some good old Halloween fun. First we went to Galey's farm and it was sooooooo much fun. There was a corn maze, a train ride, petting farm, games, tractor ride, pumpkin patch and more probably I just can't remember it all right now. Then that night we took them to the high school last weekend because they were holding a family fun halloween thingy. The kids LOVED it. It didn't matter if they won the game or not they always got a prize. So that was good. Plus me and Keenan entered the cake walk and for the first time I actually WON!! Not that it was anything great. I wasn't too sure even what it was until we were leaving and someone said "oh you got the bat". Ohhhh, so THAT is what it was. I didn't take a pic and it is gone now. Keenan attacked it.

They had sooo much stuff around the farm as you go along on the train. These are just a couple.

Hey Mom, do you and dad remember these prices????

There are many many more pic that I want to post but blogger is being pissy again with me. I will post them on my flickr but just for you mom I will try to get them all on here before I come home next week. If not I will just bring them all up on a CD.

More Halloween Fun

Fun at the Park

So as most of you know James is FINALLY HOME!!!! He got home on last thursday and the kids were SOOOOOOO surprised. It was AWESOME especially because he got home a whole week earlier than planned. So anyways, shortly after daddy got home we took the kiddos to the park.....

My sad attempt of a family pic!! LOL
