Each one has brought something new to our family and we are truly grateful. The boys have all been great and the relationship we have with their families is something special. Evan, our newest billet, fits in so well with our family. The twins and him have an amazing relationship and it is so great to see. It is not something I ever thought I would see our family do but it truly has been so good for us. Highly recommend!

My friend Tyler and Becca had a baby girl named Magdalena Monica so my mom and I got an outfit and a baby rattle. On Tuesday night, I went to the new Freakier Friday movie with my sister-in-law Ashley and mom and we were disappointed because we thought the first movie was better because there was too many characters changing bodies that we were confused. So on Friday night we watched the original Freaky Friday which was way better than the second one.

My mom is crazy about her flowers and made me take a picture of her with her beautiful flowers. Guess how many flowers she has in her yard?! On the holiday Monday, my uncle Wayne and auntie Gail came from Lloydminster to visit us.

Q: What was your childhood like?
A: There were 5 children in my family. My older sister and brother were quite a bit older than me and my two younger brothers. So, most of the time it was me and my younger brother hanging out with friends. My childhood was full of lots of adventures with neighborhood friends. We’d play games in the street in front of our houses like, Wide World, Hopscotch, Hide and Seek. We’d go swimming at the local outdoor pool in the summers. But, one of my favorite things to do was “gopher hunting”! A couple of friends and I would head out to the field that was behind the crescent we lived on taking with us our family dog, “Pierre”. He’d sniff out a gopher hole and try to dig it up. Soon a little gopher would pop up some where close and we’d try a catch it. Not to kill it or hurt just catch. I think we thought we’d keep it for a pet. We were never fast enough.
Winter’s were full of building tunnels in the snow, tobogganing, skating, and spending time at a friend’s house or at our house playing board games or just creating our own fun. And of course school filled that time as well. I was not one who enjoyed school, but I made it through. 😊

My older brother had moved out on his own at that time.
I have never been married and no children but I do have a dog. I also have five wonderful nieces and a great niece and a great nephew now, all of whom I love and adore.
