Next week he will be starting grade 7 and is looking forward to jr. high. He has a new teacher and class schedule. In the spring, braces were put on his teeth. He has had very little discomfort which is a blessing. Just before these pictures were taken, the was able to choose coloured elastics to go over the wire, blue and green!</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Grandma had a birthday as well in June. The kids wanted to surprise her with a party. So she was left at home by herself. The kids showed up with Grandpa, blindfolded her, led her to the truck and Russell drove her to the party. She didn't think it was just the kids in the truck with her but couldn't locate Grandpa in the back seat. Russell did a few extra turns along the way to confuse her.</span><br />

In March, one of the books Chloe studied for language arts was about bringing back the salmon to Pigeon Creek. So we located the spot where the book was written about about. While trying to find this location, we stopped at a Chamber of Commerce. The clerk helping us knew exactly where this was because back in the 80's when this salmon project started, she was a university student and worked on the project with the local school children.<br />

Spring came a little early to the school room. The kids like it when the decorations are changed and there are new things to look at. With the longer days, the sun shines more in the window and this room is a pleasant place to work and read.<br />

Our first stop on our spring break trip was to see the Whitmore grandparents. On Sabbath, we went for a nice hike in coulee hills. Chloe had a chance to try out her bow and arrow. Curtis has to lower the pounds of pull a bit for her.<br />

Saturday evening we had a church social at the swimming pool. There is still snow on the ground here and spring is trying to come but I know winter will return again soon. The kids love to play in the water.

Finally we got counter tops for the craft room. With the kids both spending more time online with their school, we needed another school room. So the craft room will be both. The wall color is called honey dew. There is lots of storage and light. In the bottom picture, the counter top took some time to install because of the angles. It's so nice that's it's done now.C & K Whitmorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03742997993547459954noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911516931799927444.post-9634476502273010072015-02-15T20:49:00.002-07:002015-02-15T20:49:46.430-07:00Winter Camping<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So the kids had a fantastic idea they want to go winter camping in our yard with their father. So they came up with a list of supplies needed and a plan. Today while Curtis and I were working in the craft room, the kids set up the tents, cut some wood, and prepared the sleeping tent.<br />

The sun was very bright today and the temperature just above freezing. We eat supper by the fire. Russell made popcorn for a snack.<br />

We had some styrofoam insulation which worked good for the tent to sit on for warmth and dryness.<br />

I warned them that my bed was off limits during the night if they were cold. I left some lights on so here's hoping they have a good sleep. This is a true Family Day holiday.<br />

Russell likes to see a high mark on his report card for fine arts. He has taken a liking to cooking and baking. Starting this week he will plan and prepare the meals every Wednesday. He baked this apple cake and made a carob cake Friday. Yummy.<br />

He also decided he'd like to make a blanket. Rag quilts are an easy project to start with. Russell and I went shopping and he made his choice. Once he got the hang of it, he was off. He finished sewing in one day. There were some extra squares so he made a blanket for a little boy at church.<br />

This was one morning last week when the temperature was below -25C. Living on a hill, we usually stay about 10 degrees warmer than other locations. Yesterday we were 16 degrees warmer than Mom and Dad's place.<br />

Over the Christmas holidays Curtis had some time off work so we finished Chloe's room. A new coat of paint was added to match the new bedding she received for her birthday in July, window cills painted, baseboards and trim added and French doors for the closet.<br />

Since we live in an area where winter is one of the main seasons, we bundle up and enjoy the snow and cold. Winter is a beautiful time of year. The kids have a tunnel and a fort built.<br />

The adults played a game where we each had one minute to see how much we could unwrap. These gloves made the task very difficult. There were I think 5 boxes one inside of each other. Mom said 3 rolls of duct tape were used to ensure the empty boxes were tightly sealed. Steven ended up with the last box. It was fun to play and watch.<br />

We found this remote beach with beautiful sand and blue water. I put the camera back in the car and we went swimming. With both of us being raised on the prairies, we are not familiar with the ocean. We were out swimming and a wave came and rolled us both over under the water. Sand was everywhere. So the next while I spent trying to wash sand out of my swimming suit.<br />

We drove up to Haleakala National Park to hike down into the crater. The elevation was around 10,000 feet. I had a bit of altitude sickness. Once at the top of the crater, we started the decent downward. In 4 miles, there was a 3,000 foot elevation change. I felt much better at the lower elevation.<br />

Just over 1,000 miles were put on this car in a week. Curtis enjoyed driving it. The island is populated with Mustang convertibles.<br />

Curtis and I had the opportunity to invest some time to our marriage. With the kids being taken care of by all the grandparents, we took off to the Hawaiian Islands. We spent 7 days on Maui and 3 days on Oahu. Since we travelled light (could have travelled lighter) Curtis wanted to rent a Mustang convertible. Well, I think most of the tourist that visit that island rent Mustangs. They were everywhere.<br />

This was a holiday where I didn't book any tours. The only thing I had pre booked was the hotel and car rental. So with help from Google, the GPS on the iPad, and spending a little bit of time in research, we filled our week with activity.<br />

There are not that many roads on the island and the traffic is very light. We drove on every major road. One of our goals was to go hiking in the state and national parks. We only payed an entrance fee for one of the parks. The rest was free to enter. Hiking was free as well. The beauty we seen on our hikes was spectacular. It was so worth the bit of effort to get there.<br />

Driving on this road was the scariest part. Most of the road was just a bit wider than the car, blind corners, rock on one side of the road, cliff on the other and no guard rail. Curtis was very good at honking his horn around the corners to notify other drivers and backing up to a place where 2 vehicles could pass.<br />

Where we went hiking, looks were not important. The weather was beautiful the whole time we were there. Rain, mud, water, and mist don't kill people. We knew later in the day we could get cleaned up.<br />

The trail in the state park was defiantly not well travelled. We did meet some other hikers along the way. I liked going to places where most tourists don't. We were not trying to get through crowds and with the peaceful quiet around us, we chatted all the way up the mountain and all the way down.C & K Whitmorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03742997993547459954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911516931799927444.post-52131841730740828622014-10-02T12:57:00.000-06:002014-10-02T12:57:27.248-06:00Kids are Growing Up<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Russell has chosen for his winter activity to do a young masters class. It's a fusion type class of karate, ju-situ (not sure on the correct spelling), taekwondo, self defence, and wrestling. He is in a class with other kids his age and size, so it's not so intimidating because all the kids are about the same size. There are girls in the class as well which creates a nice balance. <br />

Let's just say he is a typical boy. The kids received this dirt bike in January. Instead of just looking at it sitting in the garage over the long winter, they learned how to ride it on snow and ice. So by the time spring came, they were pretty good at handling it. It's just the right size for Russell. He likes the challenge of learning different manoeuvres. I'm sure there will come a time when the jeans are ripped and skin is scraped!C & K Whitmorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03742997993547459954noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911516931799927444.post-49803924408751205062013-11-16T20:45:00.000-07:002013-11-16T20:45:35.154-07:00These are a few of my favoite things.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She has Russell in the net. He did make a save. One of Chloe's complaints is she cannot be as active during the winter. She loves to be running and playing. That's a main reason she is looking forward to playing soccer for a good part of the winter. Notice I didn't say all winter. She only plays till the end of February. At least by then, the days are starting to get a bit longer and this won't interfere with our mission trip to Belize in March.<br />

I had the privilege of taking pictures of these boys on their first birthday. I've known them since birth. They are so funny, happy, easy going, and over the top with cuteness. This is the first cake smash I've ever done as well and it was fun. The lighting and weather that day were perfect. I'm looking forward to watching them grow.C & K Whitmorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03742997993547459954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911516931799927444.post-35557267975159670842013-08-06T16:08:00.000-06:002013-08-06T16:08:18.993-06:00My Darling Chloe Jane<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My little Chloe Jane is not so little anymore. She is growing up fast. These are not her birthday pictures. It had been a rainy week and we were needing some creativity. She has a beautiful smile, is thoughtful, caring, funny, creative, active, and talkative! Life is exciting in our house. We are blessed to call her our daughter.C & K Whitmorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03742997993547459954noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911516931799927444.post-4520719049740453202013-06-29T17:09:00.000-06:002013-06-29T17:09:14.747-06:00Love This Time of Year<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
