Big purchase this week!

Yes, we finally have purchased these hard to get die cast cars from the Movie-Cars! My 6 year old absolutely loves everything to do with that Movie! The chick hicks car is missing as Dawson carries it with him everywhere he goes. These cars are sold out at Toys R Us the same afternoon they are put on the shelf! I must say they are so cute. Dawson would say they are so cool!!!

New Book for Me

I am so enjoying keeping this blog for everyone, I have decided to read about doing more stuff with my blog. So here is the first book I got from the library. I am really enjoying the blogosphere! ( It is sucking me in.) j

Forward Only

Here he is! This is Dawson decked out in his Pats jersey (our local whl team). He just finished his power skating class. He is getting really good at skating. Today he scored 2 goals and got 2 stolen away from him at the last minute. He can stop, skate backward, and do cross overs. A proud mom would say he is the best on the team!! And believe it or not Dawson put forth 110% today and was on fire. It is a long story but Dawson doesn't always try his best out there. However he still has fun at the end of the day!! It is so funny because Dawson will not cross the centre line, he doesn't dig for the puck/ help out the goalie. He only plays forward position. He is so goal hungry, he doesn't care if he scores or assists. But no interest at all in goalie or defense. Glad to add-- that Brent's back is doing well these days and he is back at work now. J.

My Many Jobs

Here I am in doing the laundry at the hotel. That is what I do on Monday and Tuesday . It is actually fun. The work is so hard and gross. You probably couldn't imagine what I seen on the hotel linen. I have gotten out all kinds of stains!!! Of course I am wearing latex gloves when dealing with dirty linen. I work with another girl who is around my age and she is so funny. However she will be going on mat leave in May. Hopefully I will resume her position but no guarantees? Well believe it or not I have to go and do our own laundry now. j.

One big Moose

Hey Welcome to Moose Jaw, SK. Yes, down the road about an hour from Regina, you will meet this friendly guy. The town of Moose Jaw's population is 32,000. It is the home of The Temple Gardens Mineral Spa and to the whl hockey team- Moose Jaw Warriors. Dawson and I travelled to MJ - to see his adopted owl. The grade one class adopted a burrowing owl, after doing a study on these owls. His owl is named trooper. Unfortunately Tropper being such a superstar, he was on tour in a little town south of Regina called Estevan. Tropper will return to Moose Jaw again in the summer and we will visit him then. I will take a picture of him then and post for sure. That's all for now folks. j.

Here I Am!!!!

Here is Jen B/Fast, as I am referred to at work. This is me, holding my longest job in 2 years. I have now officially been working for 4 months and have gotten my first raise. Where does time go? Still enjoying my job and have taken on more hours. I will post another photo of me this week doing some other jobs at the hotel!!! By the way those fruit loops are one of the popular choices at my breakfast bar!!!! J.

BRRRR!

Well as you can see, no kids on the playground. The temp here this past week has been -30C and colder! At -25C the kids have indoor recess. All of last week the kids didn't get to play outside at all. It is forecasted that on Thursday, we will reach a temp of 0C. Hopefully this week the kids will play outside. Dawson is dying to play in the snow. Lets just hope that killer windchill doesn't kick in. I hope everyone stays warm.
