Easter Egg Hunt

Yesterday Erinn took in the annual Easter Egg Hunt in downtown Medicine Hat.

As you can see she dressed for the occasion and had her basket in hand ready to be filled.

Erinn found Mr. & Mrs. Easter Bunny.

At the end of the day Erinn had a basket full of chocolate Easter eggs.

First Tournament

Kirby played in her first badminton tournament on the weekend in Seven Persons.

Her and her partner, Dolan, were on the St. Mary's mixed doubles team.

They managed to win their first two games but lost out in their last two.

However it was still good enough to earn them a bronze medal!

Leprechaun Trap

Erinn made a Leprechaun trap again this year but was still unsuccessful in trapping the green little fellow!

You can see from his tracks how he got into Erinn's room.

He went right into the trap and stole the Cheerios she had for bait but somehow he managed to escape!

Weekend With Dad!

This past Thursday Carolyn and her sister Mary left for a weekend getaway to Destin, Florida. Mary had was invited to a wedding down there and didn't want to go by herself so she invited Carolyn.
Dad was excited to spend the weekend with the kids and mom was more excited to spend the weekend without the kids!

Blair was so excited he learned some new break dancing moves.

We went to the skate park.

And Erinn was excited to ride her bike.

You can tell by the smile he had a good time.

Today we went to look for snakes but found gophers instead. Blair shot this one hiding in an irrigation pipe and Erinn found a gopher skull.

There was only kids hanging out where the snakes should have been.

My little spotters letting me know where the gophers were.

Tomorrow night Carolyn will get back home and we will resume life as usual, I'm back to work Tuesday as well as Carolyn. Spring is definitely in the air though, as you can see from the above photos we enjoyed a beautiful day today, a high of +8 and no wind.

Still for Sale!

Last night we met with our realtor and made a decision to drop the price again on the acreage and to make the big push now with spring around the corner.

For Sale $419.900! An open house is planned for next Saturday afternoon.

Trip to the SPCA

Yesterday Erinn's Brownie group made a trip to the Medicine Hat SPCA.

Erinn enjoyed the trip, of course.

She wanted to take everything home.

Especially this ratting looking thing! I think it was supposed to be a dog!?!?!?

Kirby & dad enjoyed the trip too, you can tell by the looks on our faces! I felt bad for the parents, because I knew when the girls got home it would be endless "can we adopt a cat/dog?".

My "like new" Truck

When the kids and I were in Saskatchewan for the Spring Break Carolyn took the truck in to one of the local body shops and got the front and back end repaired from our little accident back in January.

Now it looks like brand new!

And its a lot less embarrassing to drive!

Spring is Sprung?

Lately the weather has been very spring like but I can't help but think that winter really isn't over yet and we are bound to get another dump of snow and cold weather!

Erinn checking out the ice.

Kids and puddles, reminds me of when I was a kid.

Blair playing in the puddle with a big sheet of ice. It didn't take long and he filled a boot, Erinn filled both!
