Same Old

Well I thought that I would have a lot of fun, interesting and cute stories to write about here in our new home....but honestly.....it's pretty much hum drum same old stuff day in and day out.

The boys are busy with afterschool programs and soccer 5 days a  week (Jaiden scored 4 goals his first game and Jordan scored his first tonight). They also have scouts and then the week end starts. Last week-end was jam packed...went by the church to help clean, then to a TV audition, then came home for a Saturday house cleaning, then off to public swimming, next was shooting some hoops at the nearby highschool followed by a movie (Hop) then home for dinner. Yep that was a busy day for sure
Sunday was fun. After church and lunch we took our neighbour Brian with us for our regular nature hike at Nose Hill Park. It's a huge park (one of the largest municiple parks in N. America) and has a ton of wild life.

On our previous visit we failed to get close to any deer but we were determined to find some this time around. Unlike most of the parks visitors, who stay on the pathways, we ventured into the woods and it wasn't long until we picked up on their trail. After about 10 minutes we spotted them and had fun trying to surround them. At one point we were about 20 feet away. So that was fun but it wasn't the highlight. On our way out of the park we noticed a dog up ahead had discovered something just off the path....it looked like a porcupine but we weren't sure. After making sure it was dead we turned it over and then examined it before pulling out a few of its quills as souvenirs. So it was a pretty interesting hike.

Cheeese!!!

Awwwww...so cute!

Peek-a boo!

Our explorers!

We concluded our week-end by volunteering at an English class that the Chinese speaking Elders run on Sunday nights.

So, that is about it...I'm too exhausted to be funny or cute (well actually I don't really have to try on that one:)
I did want to say how lucky I am to have such good boys. I volunteered in Canada's national election this past week and the boys came with me to our candidate's headquarters to await the results. They were so well behaved. My Jordan is such a people person...I seriously don't know where he gets it. Whether it's on a hike or in a room full of rowdy campaign supporters....he always makes it a point to say hello to everyone. Jaiden is doing a pretty good job of helping out around the house, lucky guy gets to go on a teepee campout at the foot of the Rockies next week for 4 days.

Sorry that this post is a bit lame....I'll try and stir up some excitement for the next one.
