Snowy Manitoba

So, as many of you know, right now, I am in Manitoba (the city of Winkler to be exact). My cousin, Heather, just got married on Saturday to her now husband Bruce Fehr (not sure if that's how you spell it). It was a nice wedding; much different from what I'm used to because they're from a tiny little town in Manitoba and I'm from a rather large city in BC.

The cutest part of the wedding was how the ring bearers came in. She kind of got cut out of the picture but the flower girl was pulling them in on this wagon. The one on the left is Bruce's nephew, Ashton. The one on the right is Heather's nephew, Rowan.

Bruce and Heather, the happy couple.

The brides beautiful bouquet.

Yesterday, Sunday, a bunch of us went to my Aunt's and Uncle's "estate" (as they like to call it). I think that they own the biggest and only hill in all of Manitoba. Everybody out here has at least one slead like thing that we used to slide down this hill. For those of you that don't know, there is quite a bit of snow here....

On the top is me, thigh deep in snow. Of course it got worse as we went on, with Aunt Anna on the right, waist deep in snow. And below, you can see that, had we not had snow shoes on, you would probably never see us again.

Just a cool picture (mixed with a bit of hottness).

The next sequence of pictures is rather quite funny. Some of my cousins made a ramp at the bottom of the hill. My cousin Warren said, "It's actually a pretty good ramp. I can do a complete 360 off of it." Well, I didn't believe him so i slid down the hill and told him to come and show me. Guess what, he proved me rong. You don't have to turn sideways to do a 360. You can go head over heals too...

Nice try Warren.

My Star

So it's the 7th today. My one and only sister's birthday! YAYYYYY!!! I don't know if any of you who read this know, but me and my sister are very close. Infact she's my best friend. (I have to admitt, it wasn't always this way!). So today's her birthday. I've seen her for a grand total of maybe 15 minutes today. She had to work at 6am untill 10am, so when I woke up she was already up and gone. Knowing she had to work that early on her birthday made me a little mad so I decided to cheer her up by blowing up some balloons and putting them on the bannester at the front door. I then made a sign that said, "Happy 19th Birthday!" and attatched it to the 2 bannesters so that there was no way she could miss it (for those of you that don't know our house, you take stairs into the actuall house which is where I hung the poster. She would have to walk right into it in order to get out of the entrence). When I got home from school, I asked her if she liked her balloons. She said, "It made me smile =D." So, on birthdays, we as a family usually have dinner (my mom takes an order from the birthday person and makes them what they want for dinner (for me it's always her home made chicken noodle soup)). Well, my parents are on a cruise right now so my sister's friends decided to take her out for her birthday. This didn't make me very happy. I was planning on making dinner for her tonight (she wouldn't know that I made dinner untill dinner actually happend because she teaches piano Tuesdays) but that obviously isn't going to happen. I guess she saw that I wasn't too impressed with the fact that she wasn't going to be at home for her birthday, so when I got home from school, she asked me to go out to dinner with her and her friends. I accept. Just as long as I can be with her it's all good. So this one's for you Rissy:

Happy Birthday!!!

You are so amazing and I love you so much. You're my #1 role modle and there is no one eles I would want as a big sister!

The best of friends.

So alike in the wierdest ways.
