Jekyll and Hyde

The girls these days seem to have a Jekyll and Hyde relationship. One minute they love each other and the next minute they are screaming at each other. I saw this moment before bed and had to capture it. Its one of those pictures I will show to them when they are in their teens and can't stand the sight or sound of each other.I remember those years well with my sister and I also remember my mom showing me pictures when we were "buddy, friend partners."

Seriously...WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok another edit: I am not doped up on anything. Yesterday when I checked the weather it was forecasting 40-50cm of snow for the Camrose area. I checked the forecast this morning when my sister asked if I was smoking something and it has changed from 40-50cm of snow to 10-15mm of rain. MUCH BETTER!!! So in conclusion, I am not smoking anything, the snow has changed to rain and things are good again.

ETA: I have calmed down since I posted this. While I am still not crazy about the snow, the moisture it will bring will be awesome for the lawns and flowers and gardens. I don't know about your location but out in Camrose we could use some moisture. Hopefully between now and then it will change from snowy forecast to just rain. Isn't it supposed to be spring SHOWERS? But then again, it is May in ALBERTA - where anything goes.

If you actually look at this and browse at Monday and Tuesday, have a puke bucket near. Vomit.

Did you happen to notice the AMOUNTS?? Seriously I feel like drop kicking mother nature in the face.

Gross.

(Take this next comment with a grain of salt) If this is what global warming looks like for Alberta, I think everyone should start driving Hummers!

Oh and I realize the farmers are probably really happy because we could use some moisture but seriously...in May rain is perfectly acceptable.

Motivation or Not??

Sunset

I don't mind winter but I am loving spring right now. We will be blessed with so many GORGEOUS sunsets through the next three seasons. YAY!!

I think everyones mood has changed with the recent change in season. Longer days, warmer weather and more sunshine is making people much happier.

Ok now back to the garden!

Cute Chicks

My lame play on words...

I took some pictures with the a little boy blurred while looking at the chicks and I just had to get some with my girls. Some people may call them artsy fartsy ;-) but I really like them. I am sure to be asked why the chicks are in focus rather than the girls. No answer, I guess I am just being artistic.

Mothers Day Tea

I don't think I am alone when I say that being a mother is hard work. It can be very trying at times. At some point you will probably be hated (or very disliked). You will also know nothing and do nothing right. You will probably have a door slammed in your face and thousands of dirty looks shot your way.

I am just in the beginning stages of mothering but I'm sure when I hit the rough parts (really rough=teenage years) I will look back at these pictures and remember that she really does love me.

I really am blessed to have 3 wonderful children!!!





Natasha's kindergarten teacher is so wonderful and does a GREAT job with the students. I really hope she is around to teach Ashley but I have a good feeling she won't. Either way, any teachers that follow will have a lot to live up too.

A Row Full of Guests....

Natasha and her spring concert for dancing. I try really hard not to post pictures without asking permission from the person photographed but in situations like this, sometimes its impossible. I have actually read a good "piece" regarding the legalities of public photographs which makes me feel a little better about posting these.

Natasha had a full row of guests which included many travellers. Four visitors from the farm, one from Red Deer, her Kindergarten teacher and the Camrose locals. I think everyone was very proud and enjoyed themselves (at least I hope). After the show everyone headed over to my parents for a great BBQ and a visit.

Baby Shower

I headed to Sherwood Park on hatch day (see below) for my friends baby shower. I will probably get hell again for not actually posting a picture of baby. Again I forgot to ask but the mom was busy being a new mom and trying to mingle amoung all her guests.

On the way home I saw this fox hunting something in the field very near our place...of course I had to take a picture.
