Cultus Lake

The kids and I went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Cornfield in Cultus Lake and had tons of fun. We lounged at the lake in 35 degree weather, played mini-golf (Hope won a free game and was very pleased with herself), go-carted, and of course ventured out to the water-slides. Thanks for the great visit Mom and Dad!

Strawberry Shortcake??

Pretty sure they put some strawberries on their cakes :)

AHH..Refreshing

Vacation

Around the Yard

The hanging basket


The flower garden by the shed (or as Micah calls it, The Shed Garden).

Micah enjoying a strawberry from the garden.

The garden is starting to slowly grow. This is only my second year at trying to garden and things are looking better. I am only growing the basics, such as lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, peas and of course a pumpkin. Thought I would try to compost as well and I have no idea what I am doing but Micah likes to dump the waste from the house into the compost, which is nice. I did not inherit Dad's green thumb but I will keep working at it :) I will keep you posted through out the summer, Dad.

Flag Football

Pre-School Grad

Hope's Pre-School Grad was at the beginning of the month but I have been slow putting the pictures on. My camera did not like the blue carpet the church had...yes you read it right, the church had blue carpet. There is a picture of Hope's buddy Kolby but we are sad to say that he is moving to Williams Lake at the end of the month.

The Kids

Uncle Kyle

Happy Birthday Hope!!

Our little girl is officially 5 years old and it just seems like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. Hope wanted to have a puppy party this year so we made dog collars, searched for dog treats in the yard and play time.
We bought our clumsy child a scooter for her birthday...what were we thinking????

Micah's New Room

Micah's room received a make-over this weekend. Down went the tractor wall paper to be replaced by red and blue paint and hockey, hockey, hockey!!

Not Again...

Well, the Reimer's are just not meant to own a hamster. That is right, Hope's hamster Minty passed away Monday. She was not as emotional this time around and thinks she died because she was too fat or ate too much plastic (Minty was always gnawing at the cage). No more hamsters for awhile and as it seems we are not very good at caring for them :)
Dudley is doing fine. His tumor was not cancerous and as for his tail, he still has it.

Soccer has begun!

Micah is playing soccer again this year after taking a year off to try track and field. He was really excited for it to start as was Hope for she loves the snack shack.

Welcome Minty

We caved in, really I did (Sue), and purchases another hamster for Hope. She picked out the fattest (or pregnant) one and named it Minty.

A tough week for the Reimer animals

Well, as you know our hamster passed away. We decided to purchase another one for Hope. She has named "her" Minty and this one is WAY bigger and a wee bit of a chewer. Curtis and I are preparing ourselves to find she has gnawed her way out of the cage and we will have to search the basement for her.
On Thursday, Dudley went to the vet to have a tumor removed (still waiting for the results) and in the process we found out that we might have to cut his tail off. His tail has a cut at the tip that they can not stitch up or gauze due to the placing of the cut. We have to try to prevent him from hitting his tail and opening up the cut, yeah right!
That is what is happening with the animals of our house, the real animals not the children.

Good-Bye Flower

It has been a sad weekend in our house as Hope's hamster, Flower, passed away. Hope and Micah were pretty upset that she is no longer with us and we only had her for a short time. Hope has cried herself to sleep the last couple of nights and prays that Flower is happy in heaven. She was a good hamster and will be missed!!

Happy Easter

Birthday Pictures

We were able to celebrate Kyle and Micah's birthdays this weekend and had lots of fun. When it came to floor hockey it is hard to decide who enjoyed it more, Micah and his friends or Kyle, Curtis and Andrew?? Hope's present was the team Canada picture and she actually kept it a secret for the whole week, we were waiting for her to crack but she never did. We are thankful for the 8 years God has blessed us with and are excited to see what He has in store for our little boy.
