Catch up here. It has been a while

Last Wednesday we went on a ferry ride with playgroup. We were suppose to get off the ferry and walk to a playground but we could not find the ferry at first and then we had no clue where the park was and we were so late no one else was there that knew and so we ended up waiting for another 2 girls that were late as well. We all got on the ferry and just rode it for a round trip and then got off. The kids thought it was fun. Easy entertainment for a morning. Any how so here are some pics of our ferry ride.

Collin and Leanne

Mackenzie and Neiko

This is their idea of smiling. Crazy kids.

This is Mackenzie's little friend Neiko. The kids kept getting cones from the field and putting them on their heads and thinking they were so funny. It was cute.

Mackenzie by herself.

Here is Bethannie before the game. It was picture day so I snapped a pic after the guy got his.

Here are some of Bethannies friends from soccer. She is enjoying it so much. It is awesome. They lost their game again but oh well. They are still trying.

SO on our way to soccer practise tonight we get to a road not even a mile from our house and this is what we find. The traffic is all backed up and there are tons of people standing out in the water and stopping their walks to look and everything. Any how I have no clue where or why the water is here but this is suppose to be the road right here and it looks like a river instead. There were several houses that I am sure are totally flooded. Good thing that houses here normally do not have basements or it would have been bad news for a lot more I think.

Crazy huh? I was amazed and it was not even that deep. Probably around a foot maybe even a little deeper in some areas.

This is a picture coming up to it. So here is the road and now the river starting to take over it all. At one point the whole road is submerged. Good thing I am like 2 feet off the ground in my car.

So James started Soccer last night. He was so proud of himself for making some goals. He is determined when he gets out there. It is so funny.

He at one point did say he did not want to play any more because he was being tackled a lot out on the field. There is a kid on his team who must not know what sport he is playing. Oh well though. It was still fun. James got his knee hurt by falling on the fence and then he hurt his elbow because he was tripped and totally caught air on his fall down. It was so awful looking. Any how so he banged his elbow up too. After all the falls that is when he said he does not want to play soccer any more but he did get out there and play some more. He is a tough guy.

So I also should just say that James is gone again. He left last Tuesday and will be gone for about a month. SO this is a long time for him to be gone right now but he will be home before we know it. He is only home for a week before leaving again for 2 more weeks but then he is home till next year. Don't get excited for me. It is not even 2 months before he is gone for pretty much the next 6 months. We will be fine though we always are. Any how I will try to do better at posting more often and not a catch up of everything all at the same time.
