I completely forgot to write the blog! I was so busy at work and planning the trip to Prince George that it passed right on by. Sorry!
Last week mom and Matt travelled to High Level to look at a toy trailers and Matt was seriously considering buying one. The back goes down into a ramp and the bed is on a hydraulic. So he can get inside easy with no modifications. He would really like to go camping this year and also have a place that he can go into, especially if mom and Matt decide to travel and visit and many houses are not wheelchair accessible.
Mom came with us to B.C. and we really picked a bad weekend. We left on Friday and by the time we hit the Icefield's it was snowing! And of course I had packed a lunch so we stopped when the snow and the wind slowed down, however it was still only 3 degrees. Poor mom was so cold she couldn't get her food in her mouth, her hands were shaking so bad. Our stay in Prince George was great but short. John, myself and the girls stayed at Patty and Dean's and mom stayed at Auntie Brenda and Uncle Bob's. We also visited with Cassie and Matt and Darryl for a bit. Matt was going to come with us, however he decided it was too long of a drive for such a short visit. We made him babysit the cat, even though poor airene was allergic. It had to stay in the garage most of the time. Airene was a trooper and stayed with Matt the whole weekend. They couldn't even go outside until Sunday, the weather was so cold. On Sunday, Jacki, Gary and the kids along with Nolan and Erin travelled to Red Deer to visit their lonely brother and ordered in pizza and wings and played hand and foot. Matt was very sad the Canadians lost, even if he felt it was inevitable.
John and I have a new version of the song "the cat came back the very next day" and we have changed it to "the bat came back". So far this spring we have had 4 bats in the house. Let's just say, John and I are not fans of the little critters, no matter how many insects they eat!! We are now sleeping with the vents covered with duct tape, tennis rackets in our hands while we sleep, and mosquito netting over the bed. We may buy a camper just so we can sleep in it at night to get a good nights rest. We are also getting a contractor to put up a 20 foot pole to put out our "bat house" so they will hopefully enjoy it's comforts as opposed to our house. I may like visitors but I draw the line at bats!

Hi Matt!
Lots of rain here. The farmers on the sandy prairies like it but we don't need it. There is quite a bit of seeding to do yet, probably half done.
Kyle is playing baseball and Ty is still in hockey. Keeps us running.
Thanks for the updates.

Sounds like everyone has been busy....I was wondering where the next update was. Thanks Shelley. You are such a good sport about keeping us all up-to-date on everything. We all really appreciate it. Glad to hear you had a safe trip to Prince George.
We are about 80% finished with seeding but it is supposed to rain for the next few days so I guess it will be put on hold again. This will be the latest we have seeded in a long time. I think June 2nd was our latest.
I have Sydney tomorrow for the weekend so that should keep grandma busy. She is a real little chatterbox---just ask Gary. Ha!
Take care and see you all this summer - I can't wait. Hope the weather is nice and warm.
Love Auntie Sandy & Uncle Orest
Hey Matt,
I just wanted to say hello. I see things are going well there aside from the bats. That would freak me out. Creepy little things. We are all chugging along here. Josh and Kelsey are busy playing ball, and Kelsey of course is getting ready for grad. Man time goes by fast. The weather has been crappy here so much rain you walk across the grass and it squishes, which is perfect gator weather, and they are hungry.. We are trying to keep up with the grass between the rains, and are all excited when we see a chunk of blue sky poke through the clouds. Amanda and Chads baby is only a few weeks from making his or her apperance and she looks wonderful. We are all excited to meet this little one. I know like all expectant mothers that she is ready for it to be over. Well I just wanted to say hi, take care and all the best to your family.
