3rd Birthday

So we had the girls 3rd birthday party yesterday afternoon. (actual bday is Wednesday) Mom, dad, mom Olson, dad Olson, Trev and Tawnja with kids, Heather and Derek with kids, Shayne and Erin, Wendy with kids, all came. The girls had a blast and got all sorts of awesome stuff! They each had their own cake this year again. I took them to Walmart last week and let them pick what flavor cake mix they wanted for their birthday cakes. Annika picked chocolate and Erika picked rainbow bits. YUMMY! We also got a heck of a lot of mosquito bites. Man there were lots out! The girls have been itching like crazy.

I have been itching lately to go camping! We haven't gone yet this year. We usually go every May long to kick off the summer but decided not to go anywhere this year. The weather was bad and the price of gas is way to high. This is my second time not going May long weekend since I have been 17 years old. It felt a little weird to stay home.

We have decided not to buy any land now. We thought about it and thought about it and our payment would be sky high if we were to do it now (with our mortgage we already are paying, our LOC, and truck payment). It would be nice to have our own property but I guess it can wait a little longer.

Big hoax!

Well it has come to my attention from a nameless source and from a friend of my cousin that the Keith Urban thing was a big hoax. Here is the link to check it out.

I am relieved that it isn't true. I do really like his music. I couldn't understand why he would say such a thing. It sure wouldn't help is career out any. I guess this came out a year ago. Well I just got it a couple days ago so there. And yes I am very naive. I fall for every joke played on me every April Fools day. I even fell for a joke I heard on the radio a few years ago. It said that a new law was coming out that would make smoking in your vehicle illegal because it is a distraction and causes accidents. The cops were going to have a special machine in their cars that had some kind of sensor that when pointed at another vehicle, they can tell if you are smoking in your car or not. Me being a non-smoker thought "What a good idea!" I always see people distracted when driving and trying to light their cancer sticks. Ya.....duh!! It was a JOKE! Whatever.

Keith Urban said What!!!!????

Before I leave my blog for the day I have to say this: I used to like Keith Urban until I got this email:

NO MORE KEITH URBAN (OR GARTH BROOKS) Keith Urban - WHAT a Jerk!

This big shot western singer asked all Canadians to stand up at the Minot (N.D.) Fair. After the Canadians stood up, he asked them all to leave the stands before he would sing because they were not helping out fighting with USA troops. He is a New Zealander by birth (1967),then grew up in Australia (from 1969) and finally in 1992 moving and living in Nashville, becoming another imported, brainwashed Yankee. Pass this around and see how his record sales do in Canada. Also, Garth Brooks donated 1 million to keep Canadian cattle out of the USA. I guess this helps in confirming that many Americans are ignorant to any other humans in the world - other than themselves. Just recently 8 Canadian Soldiers died after yet another American mistake. Please pass this on . . . to other Canadians.

You know this just pisses me off! I just can't believe they would do such a thing. And I still get mad about how Americans treated the Dixie Chicks after Natalie said at a concert about Bush that she is embarassed about being from the same state as him(I would be too). So what! Who cares! People are allowed to say whatever the hell they want nowadays about anything! It's called FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Here in Canada, we make fun of our prime minister everyday and no one gets mad about it! No one sends eachother death threats! They are just people's opinions! Hello people! They are just words! Lighten up! Where is the sense of humor?! Next issue!!:

GO SENS GO!!!!!!!!

Starting Monday!!I hope they kick Anaheim's ass! (I just don't want to see Pronger with the Stanley Cup.) It sucks Edmonton didn't make it far this year but there is always next season! Chow!

Friends helping friends

So our friendly neighbour tilled our garden last night with his tractor so today I planted some veggies, while it was SNOWING! More like some flurries I guess. But still. It was frickin' cold!! Darren has to plant the potatoes.

Darren has been helping friends of ours move and they had some stuff to get rid of so he went with them last night and brought it here to burn in the middle of the yard. Yea we're rednecks! Did I mention there was a couch in there? Anyways, they burned everything else first then threw the couch on for the grand finale. I didn't expect the thing to be engulfed in flames in seconds! We all stood back and laughed our asses off (I was laughing mainly because I was nervous. I do that when I get nervous, not sure why. It doesn't help when I am in a sticky situation and trying to be serious. Especially when a cop pulls me over after leaving a house party and finds an open liquor container under the seat eh Tawnja! I didn't have to sit too long in the back of the cop car thank god!) Anyways.... I regress. The fire was HUGE! I just couldn't believe how fast it lit up. Now I see how a house can burn down if the fire starts on furniture or something. There was our entertainment for last night.

Well it has been a while since my last post. I just haven't been getting around to doing it, not sure why. Well I guess there just isn't much new here. Been busy with some flower gardening which is awesome! I could fiddle around in the flower beds all day if it were possible. But when ya got two midgets to watch and chase around I am lucky if I get 5 minutes at a time. They have the tendancy to wander into the bush, and when this happens I have to yell "Watch out for the coyotes!!" and then I howl sometimes. That makes them come out a little faster.

Darren has started a business with another guy he works with. It's to do with powder coating. Their business is called Redneck Coatings LTD. Their website is : redneckcoatings.com. Not sure if it is quite set up yet though. They already have a couple people wanting them to do jobs for them, but they can't do anything until they get their machine (which should be coming soon). Darren is so excited! I haven't seen him this excited in a long time. We are hoping to put the money he makes from these extra jobs into our truck loan. Man if we could get that paid off that would be awesome! Then our line of credit and after that our mortgage!

I wish I could help by making money somehow but the cost of daycare........and I would just be working to pay for the childcare. What's the point. Oh well. Anyways, I am hoping this business really takes off for them.

Nothing really new with the girls. They turn 3 on the 30th. So the big bday will be on the 27th. Can't wait! That's it for now! Chow!
