Wow, what a carzy weekend (10/19)

Well, we finally did it, we upgraded our vehicle. After talking, looking, driving, and more talking, we finally bought a 2004 Expedition. Crazy, I know. We talked about getting a F-150 truck, but I just didn't think it had enough 'cabin' room for all of us to be comfy on long trips, we'd always have a child between us too. We talked about a suburban, but never did test drive one, and my hubby is a Ford guy...so that was mostly out of the question. Definitely not something we planned to do this weekend, but we love it. We now have three vehicles. We plan on selling the car, and using the van as our 'second' vehicle. *I wrote this on Monday, and the car sold on Monday!!!* So now we have two vehicles, the van and the truck!! We love it!! When we got the van, we had a picture take, and this is what we looked like, 7 1/2 years ago (sorry for the bad pic, I took a picture of the picture) -->

<--So, here is us with another child and a bigger vehicle. In the picture on the right, Alexa was 2 weeks old, I had a c-section, and I was in alot of pain. It was a long day, and I remember it well, nursing in the bathroom of the dealership (which is in Moose Jaw), having a 3 yr old, a 1 yr old and a 2 week old to watch while we were working on the details. This new purchase was alot easier!! It's amazing how times change, scary too!! We will enjoy this vehicle as much as we enjoyed the van, we still have the van, but the truck is now our primary family/towing vehicle.

I am so excited...

I just bought my self something so fun!! It's called a Bind it All!! (<--if you click on the link it takes you to the website) Take a look at their blog http://www.binditall.blogspot.com/ and watch some of the videos if you are interested in knowing what this item is.

I can't wait to start making projects and gifts and having some fun in my craft area downstairs! I have been stamping again too, I love it, I missed it!! I am almost done my Christmas cards too!! I am in a club again this year, we get together every 6 weeks or so and our stampin up demo has some fun things for us to make, and new things to learn, then we order, each taking a turn being a hostess, and reaping the benefits!! This is a card I made for my nieces 3rd birthday.

We also got a new camera aswell, our other one was giving us grief. It is in getting fixed at the moment, we'll see if it comes back fixed or if they have to return us our money. I hope we get money back.

We had our first snow fall here, yesterday. We got alot of snow!! Alot of it has already melted today, but there is still quite a bit out there.

Here are a few more pictures, one of the table at thanksgiving dinner at my mom and dads and my new moccasins, I just love them!!

My Week at a Glance

I was inspired by a friends recent blog post to go through my week at a glance. We are definitely busier than we have ever been in the past, but definitely not as busy as some of my friends are, that's for sure!

Sunday

• We have Church in the am, then Alexa has horse riding lessons 20 mins out of town after lunch

Monday

• Starting Oct 19th, Noah has Power Skating and Hockey skills in the evening

Tuesday

• Emmalee has guitar lessons in the afternoon

Wednesday

• All the kids have FaithBuilders in the evening

Thursday

• Is free for now, but starting the end of November ish, or whenever it is cold enough to flood the outdoor rink, Noah will have outdoor hockey at our local rink in the evenings

Friday

• The kids and I go to a local church to have afternoon activities

Saturday

• Breanna has soccer on Saturday mornings, starting in November (I'm hoping mornings, it has been in the past)

Throw in school everyday, the kids nights to stay up, a party or two a month that I attend, a date or two for the hubby and I, a ladies night out once a month, hubby playing a pick-up game of hockey every Saturday evening (I hope)...I'd say it's a full schedule for the Keffers. And of course trying to do housework and meals in the mix of it all...It sometimes makes it hard for me to think, with all that is going on. I'm thankful for our calendar on the wall! I need to fit in time to scrapbook and stamp!!! I haven't done it in a very very long time!
