sep-tem-blur

I meant to, I really did, to post something substantial throughout the last month. considering september is a pretty active month around here. but alas, life took more out of me than i anticipated.

september consisted of the following...

my peach started grade 1!



I trained for my bike ride with friends


and then kicked @$$ on the 158km ride



then miss sky turned 6 and i had 4 giggly girls celebrating with a pink pampered princess party




And the wee mr started pre-school, ahhh so fast...



these little cold lake people celebrated their 1st birthday's



i fell more and more in love with biking, did 60k around pigeon lake




and this last weekend matt (above) & i did canmore to banff & back in +26C!!! Ya baby!

a plus side

the good thing about crying for a day and a half is that I have the kind of friends who will pick me up ice cream and run it to my door with a smile and bear hug. no judgment and no questions asked! they're good like that.

can i just say...

i just want to say,
and excuse my french....

but sometimes life is just a big fucking disappointment!

more on that later.

i see beauty

the truth be known, i am in a bit of mess with life these days. but i am holding my head up high and i have been capturing beauty on my iphone. sharing the moments here!

'Hello fellow bloggers-ers. I wanted to let you know that I am planing to take part in this years Young Life (YL) Iron Bike fundraiser. (read INSANITY!!!)
This is a road bike of over 150km through the Rockies on September 11th. My goal is to raise $1500 for YL. Please visit http://www.younglife.ca/netcommunity/lynsae
to learn more. Would you prayerfully/mindfully consider giving in this way? Feel free to discuss with me!

Felion-K9

Skylar needs clean underpants, I head to the laundry room and get them. Upon leaving the laundry room my dog,Myka, is blocking the exit snout down rooting behind the recycle box. I try to encourage her to move, and eventually nudge her with my leg. And low & behold, in her mouth is a mouse! A MOUSE!!! So I scream, she drops it, I jump.... Then I call her back and say "get it!" so the loyal girl she is, that's what she does! It's then I notice the trap on it's tail! She now has it at the bottom of the stairs which the children are curiously climbing down. I am traped in the laundry room yelling for them to stay put, timber is telling me no while I am very sternly saying yes! All the while myka stands between us, her victim under her stance. Then the mouse moves again, myka pounces-I scream-timber cries... I eventually get a box from the recycle, cover the mouse and quickly move upstairs. my four legged hero remains lying in front of her kill. Skylar wants us to kill it with a kitchen knife and then examine it for teeth wounds! Yeah, like that's gonna happen!

Too much excitment for me. It will remain under the box until the man of the house returns from his expedition!
