Lotsa Boy Stuff...

OK, lots of boy stuff today...first, my brother, Darren, & his truck were featured in "Vintage Truck" magazine (May, 2009)! Exciting! The truck on the front of the magazine is Darren's as well as some photos in the inside article.
Andrew Peter has had a few days off of work because they've been slow so he's come with us to french classes & played with the boys (Brendan, Keegan & Josh) with me! Of course, Andrew's more fun than I am and it's always fun having a "big" guy to play with!

Here they are jumping off of the swings, trying to land the farthest away!

I'm to capture them mid-air! ;)


Then we tried some exercise equipment on our walk! These gadgets are great fun!


On another springy day, picking flowers for mom & frog-hunting!

Easter Saturday

On Saturday we got together with Andrew's family to celebrate Easter. The group is quite large now with girlfriends/boyfriends, married neices and nephews and their children and it's so nice to still be able to get together and sit down to eat a meal together. Thanks to Roland & Maureen for hosting all of us this year!
We had a nice hike -- the weather was good, a bit windy and cool but it wasn't snowing so we were happy! :) Here are some pics! Enjoy!

Suzanne & Aunt Darlene (see the resemblance??!)
Oma's amazing trifle -- I HAD to take a picture of it!

Some fun shots from Alyssa's camera...
