Just an update of our life...

Last weekend we decided to go to Vernon for an Oil Change that was overdue, but half way there the van lost drive and overdrive, so we babied it the rest of the way there only to find nothing open. So we babied it on the way back, going 60 on the Hwy. After we got back we took a walk downtown, got some treats, kids got slushies. The way back home was all up hill, Amber was pretty tired by the time we got home.

First thing Monday morning we took the van to the transmission shop only to find out that they couldn't do anything because the van was back to normal and no codes went off. So I took the kids for an hour drive to try to get the van to act up, but nothing.

Mike was also named manager and will go to Vancouver in April for some training. He has been working lots this past couple of weeks and will be this coming week to get ready for their yearly audit. Mike has been put in charge of it this year so he has been very busy.

The rest of the week went by good.

So on Sat. we decided to go to Vernon again to get the oil change done. We made it no problem. Got the oil changed, tranny flushed, and fuel filter changed. Today Mike decided that he would give Ashley a ride on the bike, seeing that her feet can reach the pegs this year. They did a little trial run to make sure she could hold on good enough. She did great so off they went downtown and gave the bike a wash. Ashley had a blast and can't wait for it to warm up a bit so she can get a ride to school one day. "It's funner than the van!!"

Well spring break is over and Ashley can't wait to go back to school. With two weeks off I'm wondering how she is going to handle two months off in the summer. We shall see.

Braden is now registered for kindergarten. WOO HOO!

Well that's it for now.

Till next time...
