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.

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!

get it!

It was more economical
to buy the big bag of tacos though
so it turned into

We had brunch with my sister and her family

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,

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......

I'm so happy that my

say about the way she dresses.
I love my little
