Renovations Complete!

We finally got our kitchen back this past weekend...nearly 5 weeks without it was a little much but now that is finished (other than the baseboards) it is great to have it completed.

All the new cupboard space and the dishwasher are certainly the highlights of it all.

We also got a new puppy today...his name is Jackson...he is a golden retriever...here is a picture of the kids playing with him.

Better Late than Never...

Well it has been some time since we last posted on here...I guess we better get you caught up to date...the past couple of months have just flown by..I have been busy with work, distance education classes, hockey, refereeing and trips to Grande Prairie...Tanya and the kids were able to spend 2 weeks over spring break in Vernon...they all enjoyed themselves quite a bit and especially enjoyed seeing Grandpa and Grandma...I on the other hand spent the 2 weeks ripping apart the kitchen...we had a little accident that necesitated the kitchen to be renovated...new floors, cupboards, paint, etc... it is getting a complete make over....the best part of it is that we will soon have a dishwasher...its amazing how something as simple as a dishwasher can change the way you do things....washing dishes by hand for the last year and a half certainly had its moments! The cold weather over the winter cracked the linolium in the trailer...there are over 280 claims that have been put forth already into the dealership we bought it from...it will be a while before we get it fixed!

The past couple of weeks have been busy for me from a hockey perspective...3 weekends ago I was able to particiapte as a linesmen in the BC Senior AAA Provincial championships held in Fort St. John...FSJ hosted the Powell River Regals in a best of five series...after geoing down 2 games to none, FSJ rattled off 3 straight wins to claim the provincial title ( i worked games 2 and 5)...then this past weekend they hosted the Bentley Generals (Alberta Champion) for the right to represent the Pacific region at teh Allan Cup in Ontario later this month...FSJ lost eh series 3 games to 1 ( i worked games 3 and 4)...it was some fast hockey and was certainly fun to be apart of...2 weekends ago i played in what was supposed to be a men's rec tournament...we have a good group of guys here in Tumbler..some played junior hockey when they were younger but most of them are past their prime...anyway, he headed up to Chetwynd for the weekend...we played 3 games on teh Saturday and 1 on Sunday morning...we finished with a record of 1-3 but we did manage to have the second lowest goals against average in the tournament..this minor little stat is actually quite impressive for our guys when you consider that most of the other teams had several junior players from this past season on their rosters...we certainly got a good workout!

We feel extremely blessed with what the Lord has blessed us with...it is amazing what the Lord can do when you let him guide your life! May God Bless you!
