First Snowfall

We woke up to the first snowfall on Wednesday morning with squeals of delight from both girls.  Cory left to go shovel the banks with not as much delight.  It was 7:30am when I took this picture of the girls making tracks and snowballs before school.  They both got soaked and we were into outfit two before school even started.  I had fun just listening to them visit about the snow and make some astute observations.
Snow observation #1 - Daddy can't cut the grass now that it snowed
Snow observation #2 - We can go skiing now! (not quite yet...)
Snow observation #3 - We can't play golf today because it would be too hard to find the ball.

Well as delighted as they both are I am secretly hoping this snow doesn't stay and we have a bit more fall in November.

Preserving our Heritage??


I am not sure that I am going to be a very successful blogger.  I have a sister in law who is an amazing blogger and my Mom just started but is doing a great job.  The bar has been set a little high but I will do my best.

I have decided that the idea of NEVER forgetting anything cute my kids say or do is maybe just a tad unrealistic.  Especially since I can't remember most of last week!  So if nothing else I am going to blog about my kids to make my Mom proud and Preserve our Heritage!

My girls and I have just spent a wonderful 24 hour holiday in Regina while Cory was coaching volleyball.  We didn't actually see Cory but we sure enjoyed the hotel room and waterslide.  We clocked in 6 hours of watersliding in total and my legs are feeling it.  Kaida and I go first and Kenzie follows behind I can catch her. 

As we were getting ready for the big swim Kaida was putting on her bikini and Kenzie was climbing into her one piece shorts/sleeved suit.  Kenzie looked curiouly at me and asked "why does Kaida have boobie protectors?"  Cute thing #1.
