Happy Halloween....

Well... it was my last halloween parade at the school... next year...I will have both in junior high..boo..boo...

The kids are busy tricker treating... while I am sitting here waiting for the doorbell to ring... hope all the candy goes.. or I'm dumping it....:( not sure what has happend but my will power is gone!!!!

T-Man... Gr. 8.. and it's a mask and a pillow case!!! (and his last year)
J-Girl - Gr. 6.. dressed as Tinkerbell... and can't get enough candy... (I'll be throwing it out faster than she can eat it!!!)

My rule though.... if I find a wrapper... you have to give me a candy... and I get to pick it....:)

T-Man has a Gr. 8 party tonight... and yes... I gave him the "speach"...w/ his reply being.. cum on mom... your embarassing me:( (too bad - my mom had those talks with me... and you can't have too many... so get used to them) ..

I know... Gr. 8 knows it all !!!

I did it!!!

Finally got my ass out the door for a run... did better than I expected.. but... I have already starting feeling the efects!! of what the stiffness will feel like tomorrow...

Happy Bday Gramndpa!!! didn't expect you to be in bed at 11:00pm... but need to rememeber that your no longer 68yrs old!!!

H1N1??? R U getting the shot???

No turkey for the Rollies this Thanksgiving...

No.. just beer and wine... jk... we had a great weekend.. flew into Abbotsford.. on on Friday... where the sister-in-law picked us up and took us across to the border...with a few shopping stops on the way...arrived in Seattle at her husband's in time for a great supper.. and a fun filled weekend...

The boys.. experienced a true "NFL" experience...arriving at the game 3 hours in advance to "tail-gate" with the brother-in-law a "true Seahawk's fan"...

While the boys were at the game...auntie Patsy... gave J the shopping experience of a life time, she did pretty good... considering how much time we spent in "Macy's"... but w/ shirts @ $3.00.. she was loving her new wardrobe...

We had coffee at the 1st "Starbucks"... went to Pike Place Market and ate seafood at the coast...

Love it.. !!!

and picutres to follow

Bizzymama....

Now you know how I derived at my blog name!!!! Here is a 10 sec glimpse at Rollies have been up to....

Hockey has started.... love it... Dad is in charge of the ref'ing... so he's busier that Ty-man...
J - starts dance tomorrow... She's ready and pumped.. (however - has no dance shoes)

Dad and I finished our Orientation for Caregivers Training... now we need paperwork and a home study and were ready...

Now... we are getting ready to leave for Seattle on Friday...

Kids are away.. mom and dad must play..

We gave had a busy week... w/ the kids being gone we only got in one round of golf.... and if you know us... that's not like us.....(we were too busy packing our new trailer... "new to us" trailer)... and well... we did a few other things.. but they can't be published... cause some day.. my kids will read my blog... and "gross" is what I will say..... hahahaha..

T is having a great time at BBall camp.. at the UofA...he said he ran lots.. and met a lot of new kids..learnt some new skills... but he wasn't too tired to pass up seeing the Transformers movie..

J is visiting Auntie E's this week.... having a great time.. they love to spoil her... Auntie lives a block from an outdoor pool... however, if the weather is not 18+ they will not open the pool... and just our luck... it' only been open one day.. but.. she's also seen Ice Age 3D... which was good...Lukster..has taken her to DQ and they have been out visiting friends...

My niece.. turned sweet 16... can you beleive it...she is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen... hope she get's her licence soon... maybe a trip to V is in the plans...let's just hope...

What else has been up!!!

J and I went the the Jonas Bro's concert on the 30th... boy was that fun... imagine 17000 screaming girls...(glad I was in the parent room)... but it was J's first concert.. and she loved every minute of it...

let the summer begin...

No more lunches.. no more alarm clocks... school has finally finished and I am proud to say I now have a grade 8r and 6r... I also have 5 days off with not a lot of plans... so.... maybe off to the city tomorrow.. maybe sleeping in.. whatever it is it's gonna be good.

I'm Back...

Well after numerous complaints... I thought I better get something posted...

It's obvious.. that I have neglected my obligation to keep the family informed.. so here it goes..

Dad..is gone... up to Fort Vermilion to assist with his parents in preparing for their auction sale... Dad... I think is sad.. after may years... this is one chapter he has to partially close... Our trips to the north will not end, but our sleeps in the "shack" likely will... Oma.. would always make us feel like we were on our honeymoon.. cause she kept the kids in the house.. and Dad and I got to sleep in the "shack".. of course.. I was paranoid of the bears and mice.. so I would always have to wait til the weeee hours of the morning (til Dad was done playing cards) to go to bed and by then.. I was too tired... and when my head hit the pillow I was out.!!!! Sorry DAD!!! LOL

While DAD was away... we headed to Saskatchewan... and had some good laughs and chats... the "Thiessen" gang were not home.. they were out "branding" which is WAY more fun than seeing "auntie."

My nefews and niece... are growing... and growing.. soon my niece will drive..she's already hit the "boyfriend stage" (she drove my truck today.. and did a pretty good job)

... if you can believe it she's almost as cute as auntie was!!! HAHA

My nefew's are about a thin as one of my legs... (mustn't be much for food in Saskatcheewan????) one is taller than me... but that doesn't take much..

Today.. was the hottest day of 2009.. and well I'm red... but will be white come the morning (that's right.. it will not turn into a tan!!! you others that experience the same... know what I'm talking about..)

Mid May... I took over the Branch Manager position.. that has a few new/more challenges... but I think I'm going to enjoy the change... (Only now I have to watch my "P's & "Q's"... which most of you know is harder for me than the average)

Golfing..Golfing... Love it... wish I could do it everyday.. sometimes I try... but my mother duties interupt.. I think the hubby is getting nervous.... as my drives.. are getting longer and longer (this may be a direct result of my weight gain... when you use all your weight.. and your hips..the ball seems to fly)

One last thing...
Most of our friends have been praying for Cec... and I'm happy to say.. "to my beleif" our prayers have been getting answered, he doing well.. can not wait to see him... we need to continue to pray.. as there is a long road ahead..
