A few favorite pictures from our trip

Family Visit

So for the past 2 weeks I've had family time. My mom came for a visit from Ottawa. My baby brother went to my older brothers home in Alberta. So of course we all had to get together, it's been far to long. I think it's been about 10 or 11 years since we've all been together in the same place.

On Wednesday we left rainy Manitoba and headed west. Drove all night and day to Alberta. It took us about 13 hours. We got turned around in Saskatoon, because Dustin saw a MC D's he had to get too and there was lots of traffic. The kids were really good. We brought alot of movies, coloring books and crayons. I slept most of the way as did my mom. Dustin wanted to drive the whole time. The kids didn't really sleep at all, they were so excited to see their cousins

We spent 4 days in Alberta. 8 kids ranging from 11 to 2.5; 6 adults in a two storey house with a basement. Not so bad. Lots of noise and hardly any sleeping. We went to a petting zoo, monument hill which is basically a hill filled with army cars, tanks, trucks and guns. The kids had a blast racing around climbing on all the vehicles. There was a park and spray pad right outside the back door.

On the way home the kids basically caught up on any sleep they missed. Dustin once again drove all night and day. Doing the trip in about 12 hours. Nathan started to get cranky near the end, but all in all it was a good trip. Last Monday my baby brother flew to Winnipeg to spent a few days with us. We went to the zoo, walks and hung around the house.

On Thursday was their last day here. 2 weeks goes by really fast when you're having fun. Aero spent some time with his doggie friend and his humans. He was very tired when he got home, plus I think he was alittle mad at us for leaving him.

All in all family time is the best time.

Chronic tailbone pain

So for the last couple of days I've been having tailbone pain. How in the heck am I suppose to fix this? It hurts alot. I can normally get it to relax and be not so painful later in the day. But when I wake up in the morning I can barely move. This morning I was trying to sit and passed out for a couple of minutes. Good thing Faith is home. Clayton comes in and says what are you doing on the floor mom.

I think this is worse then last time.
