A fishing we will go!

A few hours in my Dad's fishhouse and the kids are pros!  They can't wait to go back, and neither can I.
Lauryn's first fish threw the ice...
...Jackson's came a little while longer!

Us 2.1

A year after tossing out the old blog, I'm taking another stab at it.  Here's a summary of what's going on with us.

Jay is working for Sight and Sound still.  He is broadening his skills and qualifications more every year.  After two years of lots of travel and training with the PhonicEar brand, he is branching out more and learning more about Smart.  He is heading to Calgary next week for more training.  This will mean just as much traveling, if not more, throughout the year.   

Not a lot has changed for me.  I am still enjoying my role as Domestic Engineer.  I do my best to keep my family happy, active and fed!    All though we thought this would end last year, I am still providing childcare in my home.  It's going much better this time around and I'm enjoying it again!

Lauryn turned 8 in November and is in grade 3.  It's amazing to see the stuff she is learning in school this year.  She loves school and can barely stand to miss a day of it!  She currently is in drama club and swimming lessons through school.  On the weekends she is the team captain of her bowling league, with an average in the 80's.  She shares a love for gardening with me and can't wait for the season change!                 

Jackson is 5 1/2 and in Kindergarten.  He surprises me everyday.  He's learning to read with very little trouble and loves math.  Printing has proven to not be his favourite activity at school, but momma has a little trick at home and we are working with it more.  Jackson is wrestling three time a week now, in the Falls.  He is a Mighty Mustang and love every second of it!
