Gold Discovered beside our House!

The Geologist Crew showed up bright and early with Tim Horton's in hand to start digging in the greenbelt beside our house.....what a set up they have! They hand delivered a hard hat to Alex, so he could officially be part of their crew. It is the afternoon and they are still busy drilling, breaking for coffee and while one crew member works and they other watch!

The First Snowfall in Kamloops

First snowfall in Kamloops. Alex got right to work and helped us shovel the snow off the driveway and threw a couple good snowballs too! Christmas is right around the corner.

Happy Halloween

It is going to be a very "spooky day".......stay tuned for an update of the days events: pumpkin craving, dressing up and trick or treating.......................

BMXing in Kamloops

Took Alex to the BMX track in Kamloops for the first time. He held his own; however, had a couple of good spills(a little tentative on the bike like his mom).

The Birthday Boy at Oliver.........

Weekend in Oliver: fun had by all! It was that time of the year we took out annual trip to Oliver and stayed at The Lakeside RV Resort. As usual, Alex made a lot of friends and had fun swimming, biking and just playing around. The weather was unbelievably hot: like 38 degrees! Yvonne raced the Oliver Half Ironman and toughed it out in the heat: can you say, "nice back burn!"


Yvonne suffering in the heat:

After Oliver we headed to Rock Creek for a night and did some hiking, biking and sitting around! The rain got the best of us, so we packed up early and headed back to Kamloops.

Hi Everyone,

Yes, it has been a long time since we have posted on our BLOG! No excuses on my part! We have been very busy over the last couple of months: Alex is busy with all his functions, Greg is busy with work and I am trying to help out landscaping our yard(and I don't have green thumb).

In June we are heading to Oliver for our annual camping trip. Alex is very excited because his cousin Colton with be coming along, plus he turns 4! After Oliver we will go to Rock Creek(near Grand Forks) and relax by the River and the Kettle Valley.

Greg also has been busy getting fit again.....it is unfortunate, because I can't ride with him anymore: he is too fast. This weekend while I ran a 15km road race, Greg was racing his mtn bike at the CowTrail in Merritt.

Greg's new Ride.....

Look what Greg is riding around the trails in Kamloops: he swears he will be kicking the other "stoogies" butts this year! Pascal for sure because he is in "love" and too busy to train.

Hard Day of Training.....

Another tough day of training; however, this time it was at Stake Lake ripping it up on the ski trails.

Gymnastics......

Alex jumping off the horse at gymnastics! He just moved up a level today, we have him training hard for the 2018 Olympics. He trains up to 6 hours/day, he is tired a lot but this is the only way to get him to win that Gold. I don't think we are that tough on him(;
