The company that Mark has worked for since 2006 is selling and moving out of Canada. We are very sad to see that happen as the future is now unknown. Devon has been a great company to work for, and has taken care of our little family. We hope that the next company will be just as wonderful and will keep Mark on during and after the transition.
The weather has been dreadfully cold for many weeks now, but finally in early March warmed up to more seasonal temperatures. In light of this change, Mark took an extra day off to enjoy the warmth and as a family we all went skiing.
Our children did soooo good.
Macie picked up where she left off and was ready to get skiing.
Wade has progressed so well, and not only did he go down the bunny hill by himself, but also did all the runs available, in which he only fell down once on "the last run of the day" (of course). He was going so fast that dad could hardly keep up to him, but when he caught Wade, he was laying in the snow crying. Dad was very worried that Wade was in serious pain, but funny enough, Wade went too fast that he got scared and bailed. After a little bit of coaching Wade finished the hill. Very good day for Wade.
Kansas also had a great day. She was so cute as she went down the critter hill with mommy close by. She never fell over, and only cried for the first two runs. After that it was "again" "again" in a quick cute high pitched voice. we used these little gator clips on to tie the skis together, otherwise here little legs would have spread apart wide and the day may have turned out much worse.

Mommy and Daddy have both been called to the Stake Self Reliance program and are attempting to help the program move forward in the Sherwood Park stake.
We did a Fireside in Edmonton and have 3 groups that have started up. One of the principles that start the finance class is seen below.
Our little Kanas is growing like crazy and is talking like crazy as well. She knows a lot of animals and their sounds. She can repeat most words you say to her and comprehends most conversations.

Wade has finished up another season of gymnastics and did very well. He was very sad to have completed it. He took it pretty hard knowing that its all over.

Mommy was very sick one day and was having trouble moving about. Our Sweet kids pulled together and helped out big time. Macie put Kansas to bed. Then her and Wade wrote this sweet note to mommy. Then Macie helped put Wade to bed, and put herself to bed. What great kiddos
Our Sweet Lilly is getting up in Age and has had a tumour on her back hip that is progressively getting larger. We all dread the day we have to take her to the Vet one last time.
And finally some very important news that had mommy and daddy stressing as they didn't know if it would happen in time. The children all got their passports and so we are all ready to go to Las Vegas trip. Macie's and Wade's were delayed because they didn't get the correct birth certificates sent, and we had to order a new one for Macie. This had potential to take a long time to get mailed to us so we could send it to passport Canada. and then it would take some time to review and render the passport and mail it out. However, we have everything and we are ready to go.
