what happened to november?

We were down for the count for a few weeks in november with stomach virus, colds, etc. and then we traveled to Vancouver Island (ahhh - it just feels like home there!) to do some lawyer stuff for the accident I was in 3 years ago and to visit many great friends and family.

I will just throw up some pics here.

This is my most recent cake - it is a present (obviously) ... made it for friend Rhonda's birthday - surprise parties are still fun even when you are 30! and she was so surprised - got to visit with old and new friends (like Eloise who lives in New Zealand and we haven't talked for YEARS and it was like no time had past and some of the chickies from my old home ward in White Rock, besides Rhonda - Christina, Emily, and Kelli) ... good times had by all!!!

Ok - so we moved here partly to get away from the snow ... but this last weekend we got about 8 inches - see our car as Mike swept off half of it.

Here are the kids with the snowman they built with daddy - obviously having a fantastic time!!!

I am not sure if you can see the grins on there faces, but they were having a blast.

Seriously though - that was 2 days ago and today as I look out the window, there is NO snow ... nothing, nada, zippo!! The rain has come and it is all gone - poor snowman - we changed the words to the song ...

"Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman, Once there was a snowman, tall, tall, tall ... in the RAIN he melted, melted, melted, In the RAIN he melted, small, small, small!" The word "rain" is supposed to be "sun" in the song :)

So there it is, some fun for now!
