Front End Loader

I can not think of a more manly thing to do then dig a hole with a big piece of equipment. I would say it is the best part of my job. I have to post these photos to prove that every once in a while I do some sort of work. Can you see the sweat pouring off me.

The Green Desert

I can't believe how green it gets in the desert after it rains. It almost looks like southern Alberta. All this green grass will be dead within a week. This is an old photo I took during the summer. There is nothing around but these cows are good and fat so they must find something to eat.

Helicopter Ride

I know I have been a little slow with the posts in the last little bit but to my defence I have done absolutly nothing in the last couple of weeks. Last week the rig was shut down due to rain. They flew me and a hand in and a couple of guys went out. I know it doesn't look wet were we are right now but some roads are closed to us. We are running low on both fuel and water. Hopefully, the roads open soon or there will be a lot of food thrown out.

Everybody Dance Now

Mark along with the other Grade 3 Cheerleaders performed their cheer "Everybody Dance Now". It was the Under 8's Sports Day. They also performed last week at Senior Sports Day. I taped a clip but I couldn't post it. They practiced quite a bit and did an awesome job!

Mother Day Flowers

As fun as the Monster Truck Show was, it was not my Mother's Day Present. The boys gave me some mini roses. Mark also brought me stale Cheerios for breakfast in bed; and like a good mother I ate them all. I spent the day doing laundry, groceries, dishes, etc. while Roy and Ryan played Crusaders on the computer for about 6 hours straight. Roy did BBQ steaks for supper and they were the best we've had in a while. Ryan did the dishes (if loading the dishwasher counts). So, all in all it was a good day! - Posted by Carol

Our Great Day

We had a great day. We started on The Gold Coast. We spent the night there. We then went to Movie World and got on a few roller coasters. The 1st one is the Scooby Doo Coaster. The other one is the Log Ride. We went on a few others as well. We then went home and got changed and went to the monster truck and firework show. We had to make sure and grab our sweaters because it was a bone chilling 20 degrees. The monster trucks were cool but I think my favorite part was the jet vans and fireworks. I wish my photos came out better. I couldn't find a good setting for the camera in the low light. I tried everyone but they still all come out blury. I think I can honestly say this was the best Mothers Day Ever....hehe.....Carol said she had fun as well
