86 of 365 - "I Love A Rainy Night".........

"I love to 

hear the thunder,

watch the lightning

as it lights up the sky"

I am so happy to see the

rain instead of snow!

The thunder was awesome too.

I do believe that

Spring is here.

85 of 365 - Ukrainian Easter Egg

Ashley made this

beautiful egg

at school today!

84 of 365 - Attachment

There are some things that

are really hard to part with.

For example -

Zach's favorite toys from

when he was small.

Unfortunately these

will have to go since we

no longer need them

and we don't have room to keep 

them forever.

83 of 365 - Pop, Pop, Pop, Popcorn

I made popcorn for the

kids today

and 

for some reason,

there was too much and

it started popping 

out of the pot!

82 of 365 - Daisy

I have had these daisies

for over a week.

They are still

beautiful!

Thanks Jamie!

They make me smile

every day!

81 of 365 - Hopefully.....

This week will be better! 

Thursday and Friday it was

Steve and I,  

Saturday and Sunday

Zach was quite sick.

Ashley hasn't had it and I'm

really hoping she doesn't

get it!

80 of 365 - Saboroso

Steve and I finally got to have a date night!

I'm not sure when the last time

just the two of us

got to go out.

We went to 

Saboroso Brazilian Steakhouse!

FABULOUS!!

Great atmosphere and 

phenomenal food!!

It was a great evening!

79 of 365 - Tacos In A Bag, In A Bowl

No school today so

I thought we would have 

a fun lunch.

It was more economical

to buy the big bag of tacos though

so it turned into

Tacos in a Bag, In A Bowl!

78 of 365 - Cube Master?

 Zach sat for a long time with

a rubik's cube and

a tutorial on "YouTube"

trying to figure it out today.

Found this little leaf

floating all alone

in a puddle.

power outage and now 

it's snowing like crazy.

74 of 365 - Cousins

We had brunch with my sister and her family

today. Yesterday was my niece's

16th birthday.

I got

Zach, Ashley, Tanisha & Ethan

to stop playing ping pong

long enough to capture

this photo.

Thanks for cooperating kids!

73 of 365 - Happy St. Paddy's Day!!

An Irish Blessing

"May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm on your face,

And rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand."

67 of 365 - Thank-you Team Jacobs!

Wow!

Zachary had such a great week with the Brier here.

He got to meet some curlers, had a few great discussions

and has some amazing memories that he will keep forever.

Yesterday he got a message from the third from

Northern Ontario that there was a shirt at the front desk

of the hotel for him to pick up!

The shirt is signed by all 4 players.

Zach is very happy!

Thank-you, Team Jacobs,

for making Zach's week!

64 of 365 - My Brier Guys

Today was the last day that

these two could go to

the Brier.

I think that they had a great

time being there.

They met lots of the curlers,

watched some awesome games

and spent some time together,

just the two of them.

These are the greatest days

 parents can have!

63 of 365 - Brier Hopeful

Zach has not been able to

get enough of the Brier.

Every chance he has had over

the past 5 days,

he has been there.

I am so happy that he has been

able to thoroughly enjoy

this Brier.

All I keep hearing from him is,

"Next one I should be playing in Mom".

Here's hoping son......

photo today.......

I'm so happy that my

She doesn't worry about

what anyone might have to

say about the way she dresses.

I love my little
