Peace and Quiet

Hellooo
It's tuesday morning. The dogs are outside, Jakey is sleeping, so I'm just sitting here with my blanket and a cup of tea. Peace and quiet. I love it.
I see out the window that it is a beautiful sunny day. Not a could in the sky. I'll have to get out for a walk today for sure. I'm stranded at the house. Jordan has to take my vehicle to work for the next three weeks. And we sort of live in the ghetto... so I'm definately not walking too too far. haha.
It's really warming up here.. which is great! But the flooded back yard isn't so great. The dogs are sitting in a mud puddle. I think they will be staying outside all day.
I watched The Bachelor last night. How amazing was that? Michelle is gone! See ya later crazy girl.
I hope everyone had a nice Valentines Day! Jordan brought me home beautiful roses. What a sweetheart. We are going to go out for dinner one night this week. I'm really looking forward to it because we don't get to do that very often anymore.
We never made it to Wells Grey Park this weekend.. We got there.. and it wasnt plowed and there was snow up to my waist... so we just took the backroads home. We came across this beautiful horse! Jordan got out and showed Jake the horse. He loved it! We also came across an old abandoned church. So neat. I always wonder the history of these old buildings. I got a few pictures out of our drive.
Hope everyone has a great day! Happy Belated Valentines Day :)

Cool old church

12 Hounds a Howling

I wasn't going to go. Jordan finally convinced me last night to go out cat hunting with our friends for the day. I'm glad I did. There was plenty of coffee and food, so I was happy. You basically drive around looking for a cat track, then when you find one that is fresh, you turn your dog(s) out on the track and they will follow it until they tree the cat. It's actually a really cool concept.
Unfortunately, we didn't come across any fresh tracks today. So my day consisted of driving around in the truck. But I still had a great time. Jakey was a little angel as usual. He was laughing, ooing and aahing at everything. We are very new to this cat hunting stuff, but we're starting to figure it out. We came across some other cat hunters, so we all got out and started talking. Well... we started yelling. Because as soon as the trucks stop, there is 12 coon hounds howling! And one yellow lab trying to bark and fit in. Everyone is talking among themselves like the noise doesn't even bother them! Maybe you just get used to it. But trust me...it was LOUD!

So that was my day. Oh.. and the temperature up here is really warming up, so I came home to a mud pit from all the snow melting. Awesome.

I didn't take many pictures today on our little adventure. I hope to get lots tomorrow when I go to Wells Grey Park! So stay tuned!

Oh.... Costco :)

Finally! We have the internet again! It's been down for two days. Which doesn't really seem like a long time, but for us... thats a lifetime! But I guess it didn't really matter that much, because I've taken hardly any pictures lately! I hope to get some this weekend at Wells Grey Park.. We'll see!
Nothing too exciting has happened this week. The highlight of my week was probably my Costco run. I looove Costco. So many amazing things.. AND free food...whats better than that?  We had a lovely visit with my Auntie Glenda tonight. Jake had a great time getting into everything that he is not aloud to touch. Too many breakables and nice fancy stuff at that place! It was a good week but we're having a difficult time trying to figure out exactly where we want to live. Campbell River, or Kamloops. It's a really tough decision. Every day I change my mind!
Anywho....I'm rambling on about nothing! I'm posting a picture of the swans out at Ginnys house the other day when I visited. She has a beautiful place right on the the Thompson River.
I hope to get some shots this weekend to share! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :)

Nothing but giggles

Another beautiful day in Kamloops! Jakey and I woke up this morning and went to his little playgroup. We went grocery shopping (which I love to do for some odd reason), and then I decided to take on going for a walk. With THREE dogs. On compact snow. It went better than suspected. I definately got a few looks. People were probably thinking I was nuts for walking three dogs and pushing a stroller. But it was fun. I somehow managed to lose my cellphone on the walk. But luckily I drove back later and found it.
Jordan came home from school and we went out for a drive since it was so nice out. I took a few pictures. Nothing spectacular. But it was a fun drive. Now I'm just blogging, with a glass of wine by my side, and watching Jake and Jordan chase each other. There's nothing but giggles in this house right now. It's perfect.

Vancouver

Hello Everyone!
I got back from Vancouver today. I had a wonderful relaxing weekend. It was good to get away and relax. We got to walk around Granville Island, and went for dinners and drank. We even watched the superbowl. We all won a prize so that was cool.
Now back to reality! Well....reality tv. hehe I am watching The Bachelor right now. But I've decided to not have a glass of wine while watching the show. I had my fair share of wine this weekend. It's great to be back in sunny Kamloops with my boys :) I've missed them.
I didn't get many pictures while I was in Van. I was too busy having fun! But I did manage to take a few from our hotel room. I hope to get out this week and get some photos.
Talk to you all later!

Tea?

Well its Friday! Another week gone by. Time is going so so fast. It was so beautiful here today. I went out for a walk and enjoyed the sunshine. I didn't take any pictures today though.
I'm off to Vancouver tomorrow to visit my mom in Vancouver. It should be a fun girls weekend. It's a much needed mini vacation.
I'm just sitting here watching Jakey play with his toys, while I drink my tea.... Ok what.. tea? On a friday? I assure you all that I will be finishing my tea, and then moving on to wine :)
I won't be blogging while I'm away, so I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

A picture I took yesterday but forgot to post

Ps.. While I was writing this blog, Jacob managed to sneak away and play in the toilet, and unroll a whole roll of toilet paper. Awesome.

Scenery, Scenery

Hello!
It's been a few days since I've posted a blog and I sure got a few emails wondering where my blogs were! Thanks again to everyone for tuning in :)
I've been busy the last few days, so no time for pictures. It's getting to the point now where all my pictures are just scenery pictures! I really can't wait to come home and start photographing people!
Today Amanda, Jakey and I went for a drive. It was sort of a gloomy day but I managed to get a few pictures. For a 45 minute drive, we sure saw alot of wildlife. We saw rams, swans, ducks, and horses. Pretty neat.
Tonight i'll be watching American Idol, followed by Greys. And of course i'll have my vino beside me. I've been looking forward to it all day :)
I'll be scoping new areas around Kamloops for some picture ideas. I'll try to post blogs as much as possible. But I'm running out of things to photograph! Anyways, Enjoy and we'll talk to you soon :)
