Lazy Day....

Well last night it snowed close to a foot of snow...and for vernon that's pretty good. When i was young we used to get a ton of snow, we could even make igloos, but not so much anymore. Yesterday it snowed all day and my brother down on the coast got even more. I'm sure Teresa got a ton as well. Anywho...i had the day booked off for some time so i could get some things done, but because the roads are slick i'm homebound. I'm hoping Hudson will fall asleep so i can wash all the floors and then get some baking done.

Hudson loves to play in the snow. Last night when brad was shovelling snow he was digging his cute little nose right into the snow. He sure is growing fast though. I think we're going to take pictures once a week cause he getting big fast. Which i guess explains why he sleeps so much.

Well...i hope i can get some things accomplish today, although i just feel like staying in my pj's all day.

Our New Family Member

First things first, I spelt his name wrong....it's Hudson not Hudston. Second, he's the cutest puppy ever!! Here are some pictures to prove it!!

I can't wait for you all to meet him.

Hudston!

Yeah we have a new addition to our family. His name is Hudston. STAY TUNED FOR PICTURES!!!!!!!!

Life

Well we still haven't gotten our car back from the autobody. It's been three weeks. I guess there were a lot of parts to replace. I'm learning that Patience is a virtue. Things are getting a little exciting around here though....we may be getting a puppy. I don't think it will look like a puppy for long because it's a Doberman Pincher with Saint Bernard. Yeah....BIG! So when we go see them i hope they look more like a Saint Bernard than a Doberman....we'll see. As well Chrismas is coming...which means Brad and I are flying to Manitoba. We're super excited about that. It always seems more like Christmas when you get snowed in and the main highway gets shut down. You just stay in and watch movies and eat, eat, eat!! Anywho, I'll let you all know how it goes with the puppy tomorrow. Here's some cute pictures.

I hope our kids don' t take after their father this way.

Pretty crazy stuff. I think we'll stick to puppies for now...then take on the challenge of kids later on down the road=)

So Cute!!

This is my brother Jason and his fiance Darcie's dog, Emmett. Jason and Darcie are the hugest animal lovers in the world, and Emmett is perfect for them...yes..he is a pitbull BUT he is the most cutest dog ever and he always has to cuddle. As well I should say he's the most well mannered and trained as well. Check him out!!(In fact he's convinced us to start to look for a dog) As you can tell by the last picture they love all animals.

When it rains....It pours.

Well once again Brad and I are having car trouble. Yes, we just got a new car, a 2002 Toyota camry with only 45,000 k on it, and we were extremely happy. With all the problems we were having with the sunfire we were so happy to be comfortable with a foreign vehicle and looked forward to not having to spend any money on a vehicle for a long time. Well last night I was in a car accident. I was on my way to go and pick up Brad from work and it was dark and rainy out and I was turning left at an intersection. There were a few cars in front of me turning as well and when the light turned yellow and they started to go I decided to fly through it as well. I assumed that because both the cars infront of me were clearing the intersection and the light was yellow that I would have no problem...Well I did. Just as the truck infront of me pulls through and I'm RIGHT behind him, a car is still pushing through the intersection and T-Bone's me. Yeah not so fun. So I pull ahead out of the way of a very busy major highway intersection, as does he. I'm not balling my eyes out and believe it or not letting a few curses out of my mouth as I try and pull around the survey the damage. NOT A SINGLE PERSON STOPPED. I thought for sure a witness would stop, but to my surprise not a one! Anywho.....We exchanged info and I drove balling my eyes out to Kal Tire to pick up Brad, even though the car was un driveable and we left the car there and took Kal Tire's courtesy car home. I"m not too sure but I don't think the car is ridden off, the mechanic at Kal Tire said yes but the mechanic as ICBC said no, so we'll see. In some ways I would rather have it ridden off so that we can get another car because when we want to trade in this car for a van we won't get as much for it and who knows what future damage may come because of this accident. Yeah among OTHER THINGS yesterday was a pretty crappy day. This year has been unbelievable for car problems, we're probably on our 6th or 7th courtesy car. I just wish I had never been in such a rush to push through the intersection. AAHHH.........When it rains, it pours!

BABIES???

Yeah i know, most of you are thinking are they pregnant? No, we're not but man do we ever love kids. I just had to put a few more pictures of the cute kids from Thanksgiving

weekend, cause we couldn't get enough of them!! SO CUTE.......

Little Cairus in the pink jacket is Brad's little neice. It's funny though because she looks exactly like my sister laura when she was young, and laura sucked her fingers too!

Thanksgiving Weekend

This Thanksgiving Brad and I went on a road trip to the Crows Nest Pass. Right on the Alberta BC border nestled in the rockies was a bible camp that Brad went to when he was young, and that is where we met up with a bunch of his family for our awesome, fun packed, late night holiday weekend. Here's some pictures to prove it!

This is little baby Maria, she was the most pleasant baby to hold and to make smile.

This is Brad's cousin Riley, such a cutie.
This is Cairus up on a huge mountain top....it was cold, but we had such a blast four by four'n up there.
This is Uncle Dale deep frying our turkey...that's right DEEP FRYING. The turkey was actually delicious, and very moist.

Mom Rempel did a great job in the kitchen, of course!! Check out those yummy pumpkin pies.

We had beautiful scenery the whole time, there's no way we could capture it all in pictures, but check out that baby moose!

My favorite time of the year....

Fall is the most beautiful time of the year. I love the fall colours, the changes in the leaves and
those perfect days where the sun is shinning and the air is perfect temperature. Wow...I really come to appreciate and give praise to God for his amazing work in creating such a beautiful masterpiece.

Update....

Life has been just a little crazy lately, and I haven't had much time to blog.
My parents are away on a trip so my Grandma is house sitting so I took advantage
of her great cooking skills and canned 25 jars of salsa for the first time. It turned out great.
As well we made or I should say Grandma made some homemade perogies, so I phoned everyone to make them all jealous. They were of course...Phenomenal! But yeah we're still doing good, just busy with work, helping out at Church events and going to watch hockey whenever possible! It's the season already, and I've now become a widow to hockey until
about April or May of next year!

Here's a cute picture of my sister and I when we were young. We loved to cuddle all the time. What cuties eh?

The Happy Couple

Jason and darcie are finally engaged! The wedding will probably sometime next summer...can't wait!

A few more wedding pics....

Here's just a few more pics from Tim and Carey's wedding!! (still can't belive they're married)

The Advantages of living in the Okanagan...

Wow, I haven't been tubing in years, and was I ever sore.

We went tubing with some friends while Laura and Josh

were in town, and had a blast. It only took one

time for me to fall off and loose my breath for a few

seconds and swallow tons of water to realize

I WOULD NOT FALL OFF AGAIN!

Anyway, we had a great time!!
