Easter Cuties




Happy Easter....
We enjoyed a fun weekend in Idaho Falls with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Chelsea. We got to go to the Pro Rodeo at the Holt Arena and boy was that fun and exciting! Macee loved it- especially the bull riding which is her favorite event. I don't know why I used to think rodeo were so lame and corny when I was younger- I love them now!! Then we had a great day on Easter with a fun egg hunt and a yummy dinner. Good food, good fun, good times :)
Ben is still hanging in there in Panama- after suffering from a slight bout of vertigo, then a small golf cart accident which left him a bit bruised and extremely sore! It doesn't keep him off the golf course though- his last trip there he saw a crocodile and an armidillo! His friends golf ball actually landed about two feet from the giant croc so they had to throw dirt clods at it to get it to go back into the river! Men! I guess it was a great golf shot he didn't want to give up :)
other than that he's learning a lot and actually it looks like he is going to be coming home sooner than expected! It looks like he'll be headed home the 5th of April now instead of the 29th! Yahoo! Except I was planning my trip there to leave on the 4th :( Bummer no vacation for me, but I'd give it up to get the hubby back home :) That's all for now- hope everyone had a great holiday!

Oh Panama, Oh Panama




Oh wait...maybe that is the tune to Canada's national anthem :) Panama is what's on the brain right now though-because my hubby is there for two months!!! for those of you who don't know- probably because I am the best communicator ever- he is in Panama City training for a new job in the investment field. SIDENOTE: isn't it ironic that I have a degree in COMMUNICATIONS! I know I know and so do all of you by my overwhelming amount of blogs, e-mails, and phone calls to keep in touch that I am horrible and it!
Anyway, just a quick post to say he is doing well and adjusting ok to life without any girls (aka- wife and kids...yes there are girls in Panama..but not so cute I guess!) He is living quite nicely in a fully furnished condo on the beachfront on the 28th floor of a skyscraper! See attached pictures! His boss is great and is teaching him a ton about business- which he is loving! He struggles with the language barrier a bit but has learned how to order a burger with cheese! Muey Importante! I probably just murdered the spelling on that :(
The girls and I are holding up ok so far- it's only been a week though- 7 more to go, but we will manage with the help and support of many loving family members and friends. I am going to go visit the first weekend in April to expand my cultural horizons-YIKES!! I have a slight phobia of leaving the country..is there a phobia for that?? But I will manage! Should be fun and exciting to go golfing in a rainforest and see the famous Panama Canal! Hope I don't come back with Malaria!
That's about it for now- I am being naughty at work to write this real quick so I better go! Here's the latest pic of my blondees too with Great Grandma Hank. I look awful so just pretend I'm not there- but the rest of them are pretty darn cute dontch'a think! Hope all is well with everyone- keep Ben in your thoughts and prayers while he's away- talk to you later!
