HIking in Jasper in October?????

Christie and I are heading to Jasper for a weekend in late September/ October. I have 6 spare seats in my truck :) who would like to join us? We will be hiking near Maligne Canyon amongst other places...and Christie promises to keep us safe from bears :)

We will be staying at the Hostel by the Jasper Tramway.....

It should be a fun girls weekend with lots of fresh air and laughs :) It would great to have others join us - even if you don't know us well or have never met us, come and join us for the weekend and make some new friends :)

consider.....

have a read of my latest post at Running To Mickey...and consider joining me in either The Santa Shuffle or The Resolution Run....or both :)

It would be great to have someone to run with :) (or waddle with lol!)

Sunday news

This morning Lloyd and I went to Safeway to get some groceries - we decided that as Parker arrives next week, and as the children go back to school next week, it would be better to wait until next weekend to go to Costco. So we just did a weeks worth of grocery shopping today. Safeway have sooooo many FAB deals right now that I was pleased we went! Sam came with us.

After Safeway we went to Chapters where I tried to exchange a book that I bought online - but they couldn't do it because their computer system is down today - so I have to go back - I did get Laurie book 4 of his series though (Alex Rider). We had coffee in Starbucks and Sam had a fruit bowl but got into a juicy dribbly mess lol!

After that I ran to the scrapbook store to get the Fall issue of Canadian Scrapbooker magazine! In the Winter issue, a lady I chat with on Scrappers Haven is going to have 3 layouts published - isn't that FAB????? I love her pages!

Oh and Scrappers Haven are already getting people to sign up for the next round of Iron Chef - come along and sign up - its a really fun contest! www.scrappershaven.ca

This afternoon I have spent replying to Emails and signing up to take part in the Run for the Cure......I also made a rhubarb crumble for supper tonight and prepped a big bag of crumble mix which is now in the freezer so I can throw a crumble together next week one night for Lloyd and his friend who will be staying.

I also baked a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies.

I have horrible horrible tummy ache today and may soak in the bath this evening - although I DID plan to scrapbook at the table while Lloyd works on some projects at the table for the company taking us to Whistler.

Oh and I forgot to blog the other day - part of our week away in October will be by the US border - so we are hoping to cross the border into Washington State for a day of shopping :) woohoo :)

Right now my girls are upstairs dancing to Abba songs, Lloyd and the boys are outside throwing a few more things in the big bin. The girls have been on the quadbikes a lot today too....oh and Sugar has been on LOTS of walks today.....but she hasn't eaten anything yet so I think she's missing Christie a bit......hopefully we can persuade her to eat this evening....she is such a great dog and has had a blast in the woods and up on Marys land.

Or sponsor my boys?

You can also choose to sponsor one of my Sons - Christopher Fernandez or Laurence Fernandez - both running in Edmonton with me :)

My first run!

GULP!!!! I've done it now!!!! Too late to back down!!! I've signed up for my first 5k run! Through the streets of Edmonton....to raise money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. A wonderful cause...and a wonderful reason to put my nerves to one side and just DO it!!!!

Laurence and Chris are going to run with me - I have yet to fill in their forms though...but if you would like to sponsor me - or one of my gorgeous boys :) then that would be amazing!!!!

September 30th at 9am I will be in Sir Winston Churchill Square in Edmonton waiting to start my first 5k run :)

Wish me luck!!!

For some reason I can't get the link for my own page to work here it just takes you to the main page......weird...so if you'd like to sponsor me, you can just search for Jane Thorpe under participants and I am running in Edmonton :) thank you!
