Snow storm warning

There might be a snow storm because I am blogging twice so far this year lol.  I feel like I should write about something earth moving or epic. But I think I need to build up.  Lets talk about my monkeys.. Thats always fun.  Alice is now 5 and somedays i feel like she is 16. She asks endless questions, from why is the grass green, to how does the sun come up, to how do people become angels.  She is an amazing kid.  She likes to be busy.. literally.  I don't know where she gets it from.  She is in Dance Class, Tae Kwon Do, Music, Swimming and Sparks.  Its a busy schedule but she loves it.    We keep asking her if she wants to stop doing something but she is adamant that she wants to continue.   I am quite amazed at how well she does at Music.  She is learning to play the piano and read music.  I am so thankful she is eager to learn and is such a great help.  We have lots and lots of talks lol.  Abby, miss Abigail, this monkey I think is going to be the teenager that has tattoos and hides them.  Alice lives to please and abby well she doesn't care what you think lol.  Abby is super cute, and knows how to pour it on when she's in trouble.  It is fun watching her grow as person and develop her personality.  We are trying her in Dance she is having fun and she started Headstart.  She has a way with people and gets them to do whatever she wants. I get a kick out of what people tell me especially her Headstart teachers.  Abby is amazing, I wish she would stay small but she is growing up. Seems like only yesterday that abby was a tiny baby and alice a 2 year old.  Now I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old.  I think being a mom is the most educating experience ever, no amount of training or knowledge helps lol.  I love being a mom and I look forward to everyday with these two monkeys.  They challenge me to be a better person each day.

It's been awhile..

Yes, it's been awhile.  Its been over a year and I am back here again.. Life has CHANGED.   In great ways, in stressful way, in challenging ways.  For the past two years I chose a word to embrace each year. 2010 it was Breathe for 2011 it was Love.  I feel compelled to choose one this year.  I chose LISTEN, to listen to my heart, to my instinct, to my children, to listen to those who have a story to tell, to listen for what is not being said.  To listen to the elders, to listen to my mom.  Sometimes life gets so rushed in my new job I lose the reflection moments and sometimes I feel I would learn so much if I just sat back and listened.  There's a lot to learn and a lot to take in.  

My family has become stronger and closer.  My girls are growing, Alice 5 and Abby now 3.  They continue to amaze me.  They are so fun and so friggen cute lol.  

Workwise has definitely changed.  I took on the challenge of running for Council for Samson Cree Nation and I was voted in.  I am very honoured to have the opportunity.  Its definitely interesting.. in great ways and challenging ways.  But my blogs won't be dedicated to political fun stuff.  I plan to return to blogging and just being me.  I also still do photography and have some amazing pictures to share. On the Law side I also became President of Indigenous Bar Association its great. 

Travel wise we have been on the go as usual for 2011.  We went to Mexico and the girls just love it as usual.  We did a road trip to oregon and stayed on the coast it was lovely.  The ocean is an amazing place.    We did a lot more small trips fishing and kinda camping lol.  Just random adventures to spend time as a family and take the girls on new journeys.  We returned to the happiest place on earth also.  This year who knows where the world will take us.. I know wes is going to Philippines.. I have been thinking tropical soon.  

Well life has changed it grew.  I hope to blog more (i know i say that every year) lol.. But who knows what lies ahead.. I just know I am here today.
