New Years
Before I launch into our adventurous New Years Eve, a quick update on the camera cord situation. After taking Jarom to the doctor and getting a prescription for strep throat, I locked the kids in the van and ran into Best Buy where an overly helpful young man sold me a nifty little device that would allow me to insert my memory card into it and plug it into my computer and download the pictures. I was thrilled and willingly forked over my $20. Came home did as the young sales man told me and lickidy split I was in business. My pictures were download and I was happy.
I called Spencer to brag about how cleaver I was and he quickly replied that I could have inserted the memory card right into the computer.
It was a sad moment as I realized the tricky little sales man and his buddy were probably laughing at me as I walked out of the store. Such are the woes of the computer illiterate.
On to New Years...
It was a party There was so much food I was glad it was the end of the season and the copious amounts of food would soon stop making appearance at every turn.
We were lucky enough to be invited to a couple of parties, but after attending a funeral of one our dearest friends just before Christmas I kept reflecting on the most important things in my life; I just wanted to be with those I loved best of all making memories.
We watched a movie, then everyone had to write down five of their new year resolutions and we all guessed whose they were. Spencer and Patrice are hilarious and if they manage to accomplish any of their random goals it will indeed the greatest year ever.
Then we had an excite truck tournament and Spencer claimed victory just moments before we watched the ball drop ringing in the 2012.
That's right people, we know how to party.
2011 was a good year for us, I'm hoping 2012 brings even more joy!

West Ed
Way back Barrett sucked on our Camera USB cord causing it to rust which resulted in us not being able to download pictures. Spencer dug through our cord drawer and found one that was semi compatible and if all the stars were aligned and we said some magic words and used a bit a pixie dust we could get the pictures off the camera. Not so anymore. Today my goal is to find a new cord so I can download our Christmas Pics and post them.
Over the Christmas Break we headed up to Edmonton, Spencer got ridiculous sick, so we had to cut our visit short, but not before he shared all his germs with Paul and Nikolas. I'd promised to take the boys to the water park at West Ed so we snuck away for a quick trip before we headed home.
It was glorious just being me and the big boys. I had them all to myself. We raced down the slides together and my heart melted as Jarom looked back at me and give me a sweet little smile before disappeared around the bend. Seeing Nolan's ear to ear grin as he road the waves in the pool made me think life was pretty much perfect.
